Chapter 47 Can You Afford It?
Returning to Elliot's shop, Audrey still said with a shocked look, "Gerald, I didn't expect you to know antiques. How did you see that the thing was fake?"
Elliot was also clear about what happened. He looked at Gerald and said, "I thought you were just a strong guy, didn't expect you to know antiques either."
and I
Gerald smiled. He did know a bit about antiques. As a Watchman, he had to dabble in all aspects of knowledge.
He smiled. Then, he looked at Audrey and said, "Come and choose one first!"
"I have prepared some things here. You can take a look at them and choose whichever you prefer!" Elliot looked deeply
at Gerald and then said to Audrey.
Audrey was still in shock at Gerald exposing Donovan. After hearing Elliot's words, she came back to her senses. Then she looked curiously at Gerald and said, "Then I'll go to choose first."
Gerald looked at Elliot and said, "While she is choosing, may I take a look around the store?"
Elliot frowned. Although Gerald had exposed Donovan's trick, in his heart, Gerald was still the strong farmer that had
come to work for him. However, for the sake of Audrey, he nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if you just take a look around the store casually, but you must not touch the things in the store. If you accidentally break any of the things, I'm afraid that you can't afford to pay for the damage."
Gerald smiled and didn't mind what Elliot said. Audrey then followed Elliot to choose one for herself.
Since Bradley was Audrey's father, Gerald wasn't worried that Audrey would be cheated!
As for himself, Gerald began to take a look around the store.
There were many things in the store, including porcelains and jades which were placed on the shelves. Gerald walked around for a while and found that there were real antiques there, but there were also many fake things.
Gerald didn't know what he should buy for Keira. He was not a stingy person. Moreover, he took Keira's kindness to
him in his heart.
Just as he was taking a look around, a slightly pleasant voice suddenly sounded in Gerald's ears.
"Sir, excuse me."
Gerald turned around and found that the mother and daughter who had been blackmailed just now were standing behind him.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Gerald asked.
Gerald was sure that they were not as simple as they looked, and he could tell this from their accent. At this time, Gerald noticed the huge drawing board on the girl's back. She might have studied painting. "Thank you for helping us just now. Otherwise, we would really be cheated by that profiteer," the beautiful woman said. "We came here to travel and also give my child a chance to sketch from nature. I'm very interested in antiques, so when I heard that there was an authentic work of that Ancient Master Artist, I quickly came here to have a look. I didn't expect that I would be cheated."
Gerald waved his hand and said, "Don't take it to heart. It's not a big deal. I just tried to help."
"There were so many people at the time, but you were the only one who dared to stand out to help us. Of course, we should thank you properly," the beautiful woman said. Gerald looked at the two of them, and he thought in his heart secretly, how will they thank me properly?
At this time, the beautiful woman said, "I want to treat you to lunch. Please don't mind it."
Gerald was speechless. He found that he thought wrong. He coughed and said, “Hmm, I'm afraid I can't go have lunch with you. I still have things to do all day today."
The beautiful woman pondered for a moment and then took out her mobile phone as she said, "Then let me add you as a friend on Line. When you are free, I'll ask you for lunch again."
Gerald didn't refuse her suggestion. He took out his mobile phone and added both the mother and daughter as friends on Line. At this time, the beautiful woman introduced herself, "By the way, what's your name? I'm Jessica Lange. This is my daughter, Daphne Lange."
Daphne Lange? It seems that Jessica's a single rich widow!
If I can get her appreciation, I won't need to work hard anymore!
Many thoughts appeared in Gerald's mind, but he still said with a gentle smile, "I'm Gerald Kenneth."
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Mr. Kenneth, then we'll no longer bother you. When you are free, I will come to meet you again!"
As she said this, she thought of something and took out a business card from her leather wallet. Then she handed it to Gerald. "By the way, this is my business card. If you can't contact me on Line, you can call me."
Gerald nodded and took the business card!
Jessica nodded and left with her daughter.
When they left, Gerald raised his hand and looked at the business card carefully.
"The chairman of Goldsun Group, Jessica Lange.
"No wonder she gave me 2.4 million dollars with no hesitation. She must be quite rich." Gerald was suspicious, but he didn't take it seriously. He put the business card in his pocket and continued to take a look around.
After a while, he saw a jade bracelet and said to the shopping guide next to him, "Excuse me, may I take a look at this jade bracelet?"
The shopping guide frowned. The things sold here were quite expensive. The jade bracelet that Gerald wanted to take a look at carried a sticker price of 200 thousand dollars. Besides, she was only responsible for receiving guests. When they really wanted to buy something, the boss would personally talk to the guests.
Of course, the shopping guide didn't think that Gerald could afford this jade bracelet!
At this time, Audrey and Elliot came over. Audrey had already chosen one thing and bought it. Seeing Gerald talking to the shopping guide over there, they came to Gerald. Elliot also saw the bracelet that Gerald pointed at and frowned. "You have good taste, but this bracelet is quite expensive."
What he meant was that Gerald couldn't afford it.
In fact, Gerald also felt that this jade bracelet was quite beautiful, so he wanted to have a look at it carefully, and maybe he could buy it for Keira as a birthday present.
"Mr. Newell, since you're running a business here, I think there should be no problem for me to have a look at the jade bracelet," Gerald said.
Elliot frowned and looked at Audrey next to him. He frowned and gave the shopping guide a look.
The shopping guide nodded and took out the box with the jade bracelet. She said, "You can have a look at it here."
Gerald ignored what she said. He took over the box casually. Elliot's face changed slightly. He said, "Be careful. Don't break it. If it's broken, I'm afraid that you won't be able to pay for the damage even with all of your money."
"I'll take it!" At this time, Gerald suddenly smiled at him.
Elliot was stunned and looked at Gerald in shock. He thought he had misheard.
"I said I'll take it," Gerald spoke again.
Elliot swallowed and said, "Gerald, this is priced at 200 thousand dollars."
Audrey also frowned. She had done a background check on Gerald. Before Gerald came to work in her company, he had only worked at the construction site. Where did he get 200 thousand dollars?
"I know!" Gerald looked at Elliot and said, "But I don't have so much cash, so can I pay by credit card?"
Elliot frowned and said, "Dude, don't make fun of me. This jade bracelet will cost you 200 thousand dollars. Can you
really afford it?"
Gerald smiled slightly. He took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Elliot as he said, "Here you are."
Elliot was suspicious. However, when he saw the blue credit card, he was shocked. Beside him, Audrey's beautiful eyes also suddenly widened!
"Diamond Card! It's the Diamond Card of New Bank! How can you have it?" Elliot looked at Gerald in shock.
Beside him, Audrey also looked at Gerald in shock.
Even her father was not qualified to get the Diamond Card of New Bank.
In an instant, Audrey figured out many things.
Why did Gerald get together with Keira? Why did Keira let Gerald pretend to be her boyfriend? Logically speaking, as a man who used to work at the construction site, Gerald shouldn't be at the same level as Keira!
Similarly, Audrey also figured out why her father would be so obedient to Gerald in front of him, even though she still didn't know how Gerald saved her father!
There were only nine Diamond Cards issued in the world, and the Diamond Card was also a symbol of status.
Facing their shocked looks, Gerald calmly touched his nose, looked at Elliot, and asked, "Well, are you still going to sell the bracelet to me?"
