Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 51

"The treasure of our store was designed by a master craftsman from Valmontaine. It's a masterpiece born of his painstaking effort. It's been on display here for over a year and isn't normally up for sale. But sir, with your purchase today, you've met our VIP spending threshold, so I'll make an exception and show it to you.

"The Empress Strand is first-class in both purity and craftsmanship. It's surrounded by nearly 60 carats of diamonds, enhancing its elegance and luxury. Whether for collection or investment, it's a top-tier choice. And right now, we're running a promotion—this necklace is priced at just 9.99 million dollars!"

Kourtney gasped and gripped my hand tightly. "It's too expensive… Let's not—"

"I'll take it."

I didn't hesitate and pulled out my black card. "Charge it."

Turning to the envy-filled Casey, I gave a slight smile. "Can you still get one just like it this time?"

"There's no second one. This design is completely one-of-a-kind," the saleswoman chimed in at just the right moment.

Casey opened her mouth, but no words came out.

Even if there was another one of it, she wouldn't even have the money for it. She gripped her bag tightly. No one knew better than her that after today's spending, she had almost nothing left.

"But we loved each other!" Her eyes welled with tears as she looked at me, full of sorrow.

Casey was undeniably beautiful—especially when she kept a straight face, carrying that cold, striking beauty. Now, she looked so fragile with her tear-streaked face that it might stir pity in others.

Andrew took her hand. "Jace, you've gone too far. How can you treat her like this?"

While instructing the staff to wrap things up, I glanced at them coolly. "Weren't you the ones who came looking for me? Be grateful I haven't hit you. That's me showing you some courtesy for the past."
