Chapter 2 Author:Only For You Last Updated:2024-10-14 10:13:00 In the elevator, Andrew opened the modest ring box.

A dazzling pink diamond immediately caught the light, its brilliance filling the small space.

This 7.5-million-dollar luxury ring was once known as the King of Diamonds of Jayrodale, truly one of a kind.

Andrew did not know exactly how much money was on the bank card, but he was sure it was enough to buy Stevens Corporations ten times over.

Moments ago, Christina and Irene had not even bothered to look at these treasures, with Irene dismissing them as junk.

As the elevator doors opened, Andrew stepped out.

Well, well, if it isnt Andrew! You dont look so good, a mocking voice greeted him.

Andrew calmly looked up to see a man in a tailored suit, his hair slicked back, holding a bouquet of blue roses.

It was Shawn Fields, Jayrodales infamous trust fund baby and one of Christinas most persistent admirers.

Not wanting to talk to him, Andrew tried to sidestep him, but Shawn moved to block his path again.

Andrews eyes turned cold as he stared directly at Shawn.

Do you need something? If not, please move.

Shawn flashed an exaggerated grin.

Look, everyone, Christinas lapdog is actually barking at me! Let me guess, the Stevens family finally kicked you to the curb, huh? As he taunted Andrew, Shawn noticed the ring box in his hand.

This is probably some cheap trinket! As if Christina would ever want that.

Lets all have a look! With a sneer, Shawn knocked the box from Andrews hand, sending it clattering to the floor.

The lid popped open, revealing a stunning pink diamond that rolled onto the floor.

Shawns eyes widened in disbelief.

Isnt that… the famous pink diamond from Radiant Jewelers? The one they call the Jayrodales King of Diamonds? He gasped and questioned, Its a 7.5-million-dollar diamond? How the hell did you get your hands on that? The commotion drew the attention of Stevens Corporation employees and passersby.

They gathered around, gawking at the jewel that had been the fantasy of countless women in Jayrodale, a dream gift from a Prince Charming that no one could afford.

Andrew calmly picked up the box and closed it, a cold glint in his eye.

With things being over with Christina, he no longer felt the need to be polite to the parasites around her.

Shawn barked at his bodyguards, Grab him! Make him tell us where he got that diamond.

A nobody like him has no right to even touch it.

Yet, before the bodyguards could make a move, Andrew spun around and delivered a resounding slap across Shawns face.

Shawn grunted, spitting out blood and a tooth as he flew back several meters, landing like a rag doll.

His bloodshot eyes bulged in disbelief.

He could not fathom how this former nobody had dared to lay a hand on him.
