Chapter 96: Are You Worthy?
After a brief moment of thought, Rod Smith understood Jun Chester’s intentions. He immediately responded, “Yes, Mr. Chester! Before 8 o’clock tonight, I will bring Ian Mills to Ocean Hall, so he can personally apologize to Mr. Chester!” With that, Rod Smith turned and left.
As for Jennie Clifford, she was left behind in Dirtmouth by Rod Smith. However, she still dared not appMyers Jun Chester and could only follow from a distance. Jun Chester had breakfast with Lyvia before heading out. Lyvia watched Jun Chester’s retreating figure, her brow furrowed with concern. She was finding it harder and harder to see through this man.
But Lyvia wasn’t the type of woman to wallow in self-pity. After a brief pause, she turned and headed to her study, hoping to find a job for herself. Otherwise, idling around would only widen the gap between her and Jun Chester.
To put Jun Chester at ease, Jennie Clifford naturally didn’t stay at the hilltop villa. She followed not far behind him and was surprised to see him enter a jewelry store in the city center. She wondered, what was a grown man doing in a women’s jewelry store?
As Jennie Clifford pondered this, Jun Chester turned and glanced at her. “You, come here,” he ordered. Jennie Clifford hesitated for a moment before quickly appMyersing him. “Master, what can I do for you?” she asked.
Jun Chester smiled faintly. “Don’t call me master.” Jennie Clifford’s face flashed with embarrassment. “Yes, master, no… Yes, Mr. Chester!”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
After some thought, Jun Chester casually asked, “Do you have a partner?” Jennie Clifford’s face registered astonishment, then turned beet red. She lowered her head and replied, “No, I don’t.”
At that, Jennie Clifford seemed to have misunderstood something but still didn’t dare to look into Jun Chester’s eyes. She added, “It’s an honor to be with Mr. Chester.”
Jun Chester’s expression became strange as he looked Jennie Clifford up and down. “Are you always this frivolous?” he asked. Jennie Clifford misunderstood again and hurriedly explained, “I… I am still pure. You can rest assured, Mr. Chester.”
Jun Chester was rendered speechless. After taking a deep breath, he finally explained, “Tonight, I plan to propose to someone. I need to buy some jewelry. But it seems like asking you was a mistake.” He continued, “What are you thinking at such a young age?”
Jennie Clifford felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was dazed and wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground. Jun Chester, uninterested in dealing with Jennie Clifford any further, walked towards the jewelry counter. Jennie Clifford recovered and quickly followed him.
“Mr. Chester, I’m sorry, I misunderstood earlier. When it comes to choosing jewelry, I’m very professional,” she assured him. “My family is in the jewelry business. I’ve been learning about various types of jewelry since I was a child. I’m… I’m very professional!”
Jun Chester appeared half-convinced. “Your family is in the jewelry business? Then why did you choose the path of cultivation?” Jennie Clifford explained awkwardly, “It’s precisely because my family is wealthy.”
“Oh, yes, my family does run a jewelry business: Clifford Jewelries.” Jun Chester didn’t seem to care as he surveyed the dazzling array of jewelry in the store and asked casually, “What do you think of the jewelry here?”
Jennie Clifford immediately gave a thumbs up. “Good, very good! This is the highest-end brand under our family’s business, San Rodeo Cavenia.” Jun Chester was taken aback. So the most famous jewelry store in Dirtmouth was actually owned by Jennie Clifford’s family?
Jennie Clifford followed Jun Chester nervously, knowing that a man of his caliber wouldn’t care about the Clifford family’s small enterprise. But since Jun Chester had set foot in this jewelry store, it meant that this was an honor for the entire Clifford family!
Today, she had to seize this opportunity. Jennie Clifford needed to keep her eyes peeled and help Jun Chester select the perfect engagement jewelry.
Of course, Jennie Clifford was also very puzzled. Who was the woman worthy of Jun Chester’s proposal? Was it the woman who had been with him in the morning? How enviable! If one day, Jun Chester could show her, Jennie Clifford, some attention… She wouldn’t need a proposal… Just a casual gesture, and she would willingly give herself to him. There was no way to resist. Facing such a man, she was simply unable to resist! After indulging in her fantasies for a moment, Jennie Clifford forced herself to calm down. She volunteered once again. “Mr. Chester, since you want to choose engagement jewelry, may I be of service?”
Jun Chester thought for a moment, and then agreed. “Then I’ll trouble you.” Hearing this, Jennie Clifford was thrilled. She immediately called their Dirtmouth branch and arranged for the most valuable jewelry in the Dirtmouth area to be sent to the San Rodeo Cavenia flagship store. Jun Chester saw this and wanted to stop her, but ultimately said nothing. If he could really pick a few satisfying pieces of engagement jewelry, he would pay for them.
At this moment, a young salesperson appMyersed. Jennie Clifford didn’t reveal her identity. There was no way, as the salesperson was too young. Even if she revealed her identity, the salesperson wouldn’t believe her. Jun Chester walked beside Jennie Clifford, watching her quietly as she picked out the jewelry. In no time, Jennie Clifford selected a pink diamond necklace and, after putting it on, showed it to Jun Chester with great expectation. “Mr. Chester, what do you think of this necklace?”
Jun Chester glanced at it and couldn’t help but be amazed. Jennie Clifford was indeed a rare beauty, and her appearance was not inferior to Lyvia’s in some respects. After all, she had made some achievements in her cultivation, and her body had few impurities, giving her an overall aura superior to that of ordinary women. Wearing the necklace, she looked less valiant and more charming and beautiful.
The salesperson saw Jun Chester’s expression and immediately smiled. “Sir, this necklace is made entirely of natural pink diamonds without any impurities. It meets the highest standards in the industry and is one of the most valuable items in our store. The current price is 7, 680, 000. I think it suits your wife’s temperament very well.”
Jun Chester looked at the salesperson and explained with a smile. “The item is indeed good, but this woman is not my wife. I hope you don’t misunderstand.” The salesperson was taken aback. Jennie Clifford felt a little downhearted, but she quickly remedied the situation. “Yes, yes, I’m not Mr. Chester’s wife. Don’t talk nonsense. How could I be worthy of Mr. Chester? Your words could kill someone!” The salesperson was even more surprised.
Just as Jun Chester was about to pay, a woman’s voice came from behind him. “Oh, isn’t this Jun Chester? What a coincidence, bumping into each other like this… Are you out meeting a lover behind Lyvia’s back?” Jun Chester turned to look and saw the owner of the voice, with a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes. He sneered. “Indeed, it’s a small world. But speaking of which, do you think you are… worthy?”
