Chapter 16 The Scheme Folled
Rosalind glanced at the sweating James and let out a low chuckle
“What’s the problem? You wanna go back on your word?” she asked ||
James forced a smile. “We won’t do this! Celestine Gems has never gone
ne back on ou
un our word
“That’s good,” Rosalind replied.
She looked around at the collection of treasures that filled the room and felt a bit stunned.
Celestine Gems was indeed the largest jewelry hub in Aethelburg.
Rosalind even saw the Angel’s Wing, which once belonged to the queen of Nebrania]
When the queen retired, someone bought this jewelry for 130 million dollars
Rosalind thought she’d never see Angel’s Wing again. She didn’t expect to see it here today.
Til take this.”
She pointed at Angel’s Wing. The price tag was 160 million dollars, but after a 50% discount, it was now only 50 million dollars.
Rosalind thought the price was reasonable. After all, Laura always regretted not getting this piece of jewelry. It would make Laura happy, so Rosalind didn’t mind how much it cost
James‘ forehead was covered in cold sweat.
She just took one item, and it made them lose 50 million dollars!
If the boss knew what happened today, James thought he’d be in big trouble
Peregrine Lightly tapped the armrest of his wheelchair. “Just that one?“||
Rosalind raised an eyebrow, amusedly looking at him.
“How about those items? Peregrine said lightly.
He expretuonlessly pointed to a dozen other valuable collections, including paintings and jewelry.
James felt his heart was aching. He was almost passing out
These cost over 320 million dollars. With the discount, they would lose over 150 million dollars.]
]]
“Hease wrap them up,” Peregrine said
Rosalind was surprised by how generous this man was being
She wasn’t sure of his true intentions. Did he really want to give her gifts, or maybe it was a trap?||
But die w
wasn’t going to turn down these gifts ||
James said in a tremåding voice, “All–all of them?“||
Evangeline walked into the room. ||
She saw the jewelry on the table and her jealousy flared up-||
he almost lost her composure ||
When she spoke, she no longer had her usual grace||
Peregrine, what are you doing?” she asked||
The Shaw family was wealthy, but Peregrine and Casplan were ill and their financial situation was getting worse.
These items were worth over 150 million dollars, which could be used to start a company
This was too extravagant
Peregrine’s face turned cold. His gaze was sharp as a knife and fixed on Evangeline.
Rosalind let out a soft chuckle
“Seems like your brother’s life isn’t worth much.“||
Evangeline gritted her teeth. “After you guys got married, Peregrine indeed revived, but who knows if his recovery has anything to do with you?”
She glanced at James.]]
James gave her a warning look.]
It was clear that if they took these items, james would definitely let Evangeline make up the money lost
Evangeline’s heart skipped a beat]
Then she spoke up. “Ten if Peregrine dotes on you, you
Rosalind burst into laughter.]
on you, you can’t be ungrateful. Our family’s wealth didn’t come easily!”
“Yeah, it didn’t come easily, but it was taken away by someone eastly.”
Evangeline wa
was frozen.]]
After Peregrine fell into a vegetative state, his shares were naturally managed by Constance.
Over the years, the dividends from those shares were taken by
Evangeline felt a bit uneasy
Well –
Pregrine told James, “Pack them up and send them to the Shaw’s house. Mrs. Constance Shaw will pay for them.
Evangeline was startled
Let Constance pay?!
No way!
“Peregrine, you cant…“-||
Peregrine cut her off with a cold voice, “Is there any other problem? Were busy going shopping
Evangeline was frozen!]
People in the Show family treated her like a princess since she was born ||
Even though Peregrine dy like
Constance, he was never su rade to Evangeline[]
She couldn’t believe that Peregrine hated her like this today!
Peregrine.||
As soon as she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.]
But Peregrine ignored her, coldly looking at James]
Why are you still standing here? Park them up ||
James felt his heartache
When Evangeline first made the suggestion, he thought Rosalind was just a pour village girl.
He guessed Rosalind would only buy some normal jewelry, costing at most a few thousand dollars.
He never expected this situation.
The scheme rebounded upon him
James had the store staff pack the items while forcing a smile and following Peregrine and Rosalind
He was afraid they would buy more things.
After seeing them off, James finally let out a sigh of relief. He realized he was drenched in cold sweat.
Then, he looked at Evangeline with a dark face.]]
“Ms. Shaw, I’ll personally deliver the items to your home. I hope when I arrive, you’ll be there and vouch for mer
Evangeline’s face turned even paler. “Mr. Burton, well-]
Inday, and we must thank your
“Celestine Gems is so lucky to have your help. Ms. Shaw. We sold so many things today.
James gritted his teeth, and his words were full of anger.
Evangeline’s body trembled.]
Then James called over the sales assistant.]
Her face was pale with fear.]]
“You’re fired now. We won’t pay you this month’s salary.
The sales assistant’s body got weak, and she fell to the ground
James sneered, “You helped someone frame a customer. It was illeg. Fill call the police, and you’ll face punishment. You have nothing to do with Celestine Gems anymore!]]
The sales assistant was shocked.
She just wanted to make a quick buck, and she never expected to be in such big trouble.]]
She felt both ashamed and furious.
Ms. Shaw, you can’t just leavene to face it alone I just did what you told me to. You must help me![]
Evangeline’s fate darkened. It’s your Celestine Gems‘ own business. It has nothing to do with me. Don’t talk nonsenser
After saying this, she nervously looked at James
“Hease handle the problem of your employee:“||
As a member of the shoe fadly, she was never afraid of anyone
But she brand the loss of Crecine Gens was a powerful person, so she dared not offend them
Now she was humiliated, and she also lost a lot of money. She couldn’t take it anymore, so she quickly leh
The sales assistant was so upset and angry that she couldn’t stop crying[]
the police arrived quickly, and no matter how she shouted or begged, James didn’t change his mind.[]
He even handed over the surveillance videos from Cristine Gems to the police to assist with their investigation
The ades assistant’s actions could be considered just as slander
Tut if taken seriously, it was a frand:]
watched as the staff packed everything up, ready to send them away []
He stopped those people.]]
“Just put them down. I’ll handle this myself~|||
He couldn’t afford to offend the Shaw [amily.||
Moreover, now that Caspian and Peregrine were both awake, the situation of the Shaw family might change.
He wanted to check out what was going on
