Chapter 242

“My fiancé has bought me enough things, so I wanted a simpler ring to symbolize the pure love between us.”

Aurelia turned to point at Millie and said righteously, “Millie, can you really put up with this? Kimberly is hinting that the love you have with Jackson isn’t pure.”

Millie glared at Kimberly.

Frustrated, Kimberly said, “Aurelia, what are you talking about? We were talking about how your husband didn’t buy you anything. We are all women so we know that you were just fooled by his good looks.”

“Well, someone did get fooled by his looks. You, right?” Aurelia retorted.

“Why you-” Kimberly pursed her lips and then asked, “What did your husband get you then? Just a few outfits?”

“He bought me the necklace I wore last night,” Aurelia said.

“Ha! Aurelia, listen to yourself. I mean something real. That necklace of yours was definitely fake. Get your husband to buy something more ordinary. Do you have any idea how much an actual emerald necklace would cost?”

“Are you being discriminatory? Does your fiancé know that about you? When did we ever mention that it was real? You were the one who said it, right?” Aurelia said.

Millie sneered and rubbed her diamond ring. “Aurelia, fake is fake. Wearing something fake is just cheap.”

“Is everything you wear real, then? You’re just trying to look expensive by adding diamonds here and there? Are you human or an item?” Aurelia retorted.

Millie froze.

The others nodded and said, “Yeah, Aurelia didn’t claim it was real or very expensive. She just mentioned her husband gave it as a gift. Besides, the necklace looked really nice with the dress she

wore yesterday.”

“That’s right. We’re all ordinary people. Looking good is enough. You and Millie act like wealthy ladies and throw around tens of thousands. What are you aiming for, to show off in front of us?”

“Kimberly, Millie, since the two of you are so rich, why bother working at all? Are you trying to provoke us?”

“Aurelia hasn’t said a word since she came in, and you’re already accusing her. Is it fair? Do we have to wear jewelry with an appraisal certificate from now on?”

Kimberly and Millie were left speechless by these remarks.

Aurelia understood that while her colleagues were supporting her, they were also expressing their displeasure with Kimberly and Millie’s recent behaviors.

Their constant boasting had become increasingly unbearable.

No one liked having someone constantly remind them of their shortcomings. An outbreak was inevitable.

Just then, a knock on the glass door caught their attention.

“Aurelia, someone is looking for you. They said they’ve come to deliver something for you.”

“Deliver something?” Aurelia thought for a moment and said, “Alright, where are they?”

“I brought them up for you.”

The receptionist stepped aside, and four men walked in. One of them was the manager from the Japanese restaurant yesterday.

“Ms. Simmons, hello.”

“Hello,” Aurelia greeted politely.

“We found your emerald necklace. Today, we had security accompany us to deliver it to you.” the manager said, pointing to a leather box in the security guard’s hands.

Aurelia was stunned. Did they think it was a real emerald necklace?

This was bad.

Aurelia felt awkward and didn’t know how to react.

Kimberly noticed her discomfort and chuckled. “Aurelia, it seems that you didn’t make it clear. They’ve gone through all this trouble to deliver something to you. How embarrassing for you.”

“Aurelia, are you trying to deceive people into thinking your necklace is real? Did you go through all this trouble just to show off?

“I think you’ve truly lost it. You failed to seduce my boyfriend last night, so now you are making things up, aren’t you?”

Millie wished she could lay all the frustration she felt from yesterday and today on Aurelia.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Aurelia in confusion.
