Chapter 186 Dakota Sullivan

"This piece is mine," a woman announced as she walked through the door.

The shopkeeper looked up and greeted her with a nod. "Ms. Sullivan, please have a seat."

Dakota strode over and declared, "I want that emerald you're holding."

She then noticed Isabelle's tone turning hostile. "We meet again. What a coincidence."

Ms. Sullivan?

Among the prominent families in Taragon, the Sullivans were the only ones

who could make that claim. This woman was likely Bella's cousin, the one who was almost getting engaged to George.

Isabelle glanced up at her, giving her a casual once-over.

She didn't recognise her face, but from her voice and attitude, it wasn't hard to guess that this was the same unfortunate woman she had outbid at the auction last time.

Small world.

The shopkeeper smiled politely. "This emerald is currently being considered by this customer, Ms. Sullivan. Please wait a moment."

Dakota sneered mockingly, "She's looking at it? Can she even afford it?" The shopkeeper glanced at Isabelle, then back at Dakota, hesitating.

Ms. Jenkins is a VIP. Boss has personally instructed her to give her special treatment. How could she have trouble affording it?

"Dakota, mind your manners," a woman said as she entered the shop.

Chapter 186 Dakota Sullivan

She scolded Dakota, then turned to Isabelle with an apologetic smile. That woman said, "I'm sorry. She's been in a bad mood lately. Please don't take

offence.

"Mom, why are you apologising to her? It's a free market. She hasn't bought it yet. What's wrong with me buying it?" Dakota sneered at Isabelle. "Besides, she can't afford it." The woman was about to give her advice.

Isabelle glanced at the price tag on the display case and said indifferently, "This emerald is priced at 4.2 million."

"So, are we bidding again, like at the auction? Fine, I'll add 750 thousand," Dakota smirked, thinking she could finally get back at Isabelle.

She imagined Isabelle wouldn't be able to come up with the money, and she would be embarrassed.

At the last auction, Isabelle humiliated her by outbidding her in front of everyone. Dakota still held that grudge.

Seeing Isabelle's beautiful face made her more determined to get revenge.

Isabelle turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Wrap it up for her."

Dakota had been imagining Isabelle's impending embarrassment. She was stunned at Isabelle's reaction. Dakota asked, "What do you mean?" "The highest bidder wins. You won," Isabelle replied.

She thought that, with this temperament and intelligence, George must have been out of his mind to consider marrying her.

The shopkeeper looked a bit puzzled but also amused.

Dakota's expression darkened, and she said, "Can't you afford it? Is that why you resort to these petty tricks? Like you did at the auction. Are you a

vralnar?" She turned to the chonkeener "Since when did I ve lucter need sealner?"

scalpers to pretend to be customers?"

"What's the matter? You can't afford it and now want to back out?" Isabelle retorted.

"You thought everyone was as poor as you and pretended to be rich?" Dakota took out a card and slapped it on the table. She said, "I can buy this entire store without blinking."

"No one's stopping you," Isabelle replied indifferently. This had not connection to her.

The shopkeeper glanced at the card on the table, thinking it was unusual to see someone raising the price like this. Usually, people haggle for a lower price.

The old manager came downstairs carrying an expensive box. He announced, "Ms. Jenkins, I've brought your item."

The store manager greeted the Sullivans.

Then he turned his attention back to Isabelle.

You consigned this green diamond to our headquarters. We carved it as per your request, and it arrived yesterday.

The shop manager carefully opened the box, revealing a brilliantly green diamond. The colour and lustre were far superior to any of the items in the display case. Dakota's mother noticed its quality immediately. She praised, "This piece is truly beautiful. It must be quite rare."

"It is indeed a rare replace," the store manager agreed.

When Dakota saw the green diamond in the box, she realised she had made a huge mistake.

The store manager then brought out a smaller hov He said "Additionally

these earrings were made from the leftover green diamond. If Ms. Jenkins. doesn't mind, you can take them as well."

Dakota interjected again, "I want this green diamond."

Her mother sighed helplessly and said, "Dakota, stop this nonsense."

The store manager said, "Ms. Sullivan, this green diamond belongs to Ms. Jenkins."

"She bought it? She looks too poor to be able to afford it. Stop pretending. You need better actors to scam customers," Dakota sneered.

The old shop manager was clueless about their personal conflict. It was fine for Dakota to insult the shop, but he couldn't stand by while she insulted their honoured guest.

"Ms. Sullivan, there must be some misunderstanding. Ms. Jenkins is our esteemed guest, a very important one." The old shop manager's smile turned colder.
