Chapter 24 Do You Dare to Hit Me?

Before Giselle continued to question, her friend sent another voice message. “I’ll send you a website of the biggest jewelry store in New York. You can browse all the precious jewelry in their store on the website, including Eternal Love.”

Not long after, Giselle received a website link.

Giselle had a bad feeling and hesitated to open the link.

Kermit, who was next to her, felt a little guilty and said, “Giselle, forget it. He is an idiot. Don’t bother yourself arguing with him anymore.”

Marsh took the phone and said casually, “What’s the matter? Just open it. I’m sure Joshua will kneel before you today.”

As he clicked the link, the store’s website jumped out.

UF

All kinds of jewelry in the store were listed.

At the top was a photo of a diamond necklace, Eternal Love.

The selling price was 800 thousand dollars.

It was sold out.

Marsh was stunned. “Look at the diamond neck. Its name is Eternal Love, and it seems to be the same as the one on the table.”

“It’s impossible.”

Giselle took the phone and looked closely at the photo on the website. She tried to find the differences between the photo and Joshua’s necklace.

The others all gathered to observe.

As time went by, their expressions turned more and more gloomy.

They had to admit that Eternal Love was exactly the same as Joshua’s necklace.

Joshua said, “What else do you have to say now?”

Giselle found it unbelievable. “It’s impossible. Your necklace must be false. Do you have any diamond certification?”

All of a sudden, the others took a tumble. “That’s right. We are almost deceived by him. He doesn’t even have a certification. The diamond necklace must be false.”

Joshua didn’t panic at all.

When he bought the diamond necklace, he got a diamond certification. He signed it.

Back then, he was afraid to lose it and therefore took a photo of it.

Fortunately, he had a photo.

He took out his phone and showed others the photo.

The certification was valid with the store’s official seal on it. Besides, Joshua’s autograph was written below.

Obviously, it was a real photo.

“Is it a real diamond necklace?”

“I have never seen a necklace worth 800 thousand dollars before.”

“Isn’t Joshua good for nothing? How could he have so much money?”

All those present were shocked. They had a heated discussion.

Although the Windsor family was rich, it was only worth over 30 million dollars and had cash of no more than 1,600 thousand dollars.

They didn’t expect that Joshua would buy Pamela a diamond necklace that cost 800 thousand dollars. It was indeed a huge amount of money in their minds.

It was terrifying. They were lost for words.

Marsh smacked his hand on the table and asked, “Joshua, where did you get so much money?”

Joshua said in a flat voice, “It has nothing to do with you.”

“You…”

Marsh didn’t know what to say for a while.

He had wanted to charge Joshua with embezzlement. That was why he could afford to

buy such a luxurious necklace.

However, Joshua had no chance to get his hands on the group. The branch company Donte was in charge of was not worth 480 thousand dollars.

It was impossible for Joshua to embezzle money to buy the necklace.

Heidy took the diamond necklace. With her eyes lit up, she murmured, “It costs a fortune. No wonder it is gorgeous.”

Pamela’s mind went blank.

She thought, I have been married to Joshua for three years. He is completely good for nothing. How could he get so much money to buy such an expensive necklace?

Am I dreaming?

She pinched the back of her hand.

It hurt.

Clearly, she was in the real world.

Where exactly did Joshua get the money?

Giselle opened her eyes wide and was reluctant to believe the truth.

The diamond necklace was real.

It meant that she lost the bet with Joshua, whom she hated most.

Just then, Joshua said, “Giselle, you’ve lost. Do you remember what you need to do?”

Giselle’s mouth twitched. She could not understand why things had come to such a pass.

She didn’t want to apologize to Pamela and slap herself three times in front of so many people.

She’d rather die than do so.

Giselle changed the topic on purpose, “Joshua, what do you want? The meeting is about to begin. Don’t you know it? Everyone else is waiting for us. Don’t waste time anymore.”

Joshua narrowed his eyes and asked, “Are you afraid?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I’m not afraid at all.”

Giselle was so angry that her chest rose and fell.

“You don’t need to pretend to be calm. I won’t make fun of you. You’d better scroll down the website. There might be a surprise.”

“What do you mean by that? Can’t you just speak it out?”

Although Giselle muttered unhappily, she scrolled down the page as Joshua said.

Soon, she stopped.

She saw a farniliar necklace. It was the one that Kermit gave her, and the price was 16 thousand dollars.

Below the photo, it read, “50% is off.”

It turned out that Kermit only paid 8 thousand dollars for it.

Giselle was incandescent with rage. She yelled at Kermit, “Didn’t you say the necklace is worth 300 thousand dollars? Take a look at the page!”

Kermit panicked and did not know how to explain it.

When Heidy heard this, she asked in confusion, “What? Its price is only 8 thousand dollars?”

With a serious face, she cursed in a low voice, “Reuben lied to me. What an unreliable person!”

Pamela was even more complicated.

Had Joshua known the truth yesterday?

She felt regretful that she blamed Joshua for beating Reuben hard yesterday.

Giselle’s face was dark with rage.

She had planned to show off that she had a wealthy boyfriend, so she brought Kermit

here. She did not expect that he would lic to her and felt extremely ashamed..!

She vented her anger on Kermit. “You liar! Get lost right away!”

“Giselle, you are mistaken. I can explain.” Kermit tried to excuse himself.

Giselle didn’t listen to him at all. She shouted, “Didn’t you hear me! Get out of here. I only like men who are willing to spend money on me. You don’t deserve me.”

Then, she gave Kermit a kick.

The rest of the Windsor family also looked at Kermit with bad expressions.

Kermit knew that Giselle and her family wouldn’t forgive him for the time being. He didn’t want to embarrass himself, so he decided to leave.

When he turned around, he threatened Joshua, “You bastard! You ruined my plan. I won’t let you off.”

After that, Kermit went out.

Giselle sat on the chair angrily, and Lamont and his wife comforted her softly.

Mary smoothed things over and said, “All right, the matter ends here. Let’s have lunch.”

Joshua interrupted, “Giselle, when do you plan to apologize to Pamela?”

“You’re not done yet, right?”

Giselle slammed the table, stood up, and walked to Joshua. She glared at him and said arrogantly, “Listen, I won’t apologize to her. What can you do? Are you going to hit me?”

She moved her face closer to Joshua. “Do you see my face? Do you dare to hit me? Do you have the courage to offend my family? You coward!” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Giselle was unruly.

Just as she finished speaking, there came a clear voice…
