Marguerite shook her head, clearing Frederick out of her mind, refusing to dwell on him anymore.
Her leg injury had not yet healed, causing her to wince in pain with each step she took. Therefore, Miley supported her, strolling slowly as if they were taking a leisurely walk.
"Silly girl, I'm the only one in the world who would accompany you shopping with a lame leg."
"Indeed, my dear Marguerite, the best friend one could ever ask for. How about we buy some friendship bracelets downstairs, as a symbol of our unwavering bond?"
"But if we're talking about unwavering bonds, we should be buying rings."
Miley chuckled in delight, "Make Mr. Winston buy you a ring!"
A ring symbolized a lifetime commitment. How could Frederick possibly buy her one?
It was impossible now, and it would be even more so in the future.
Meanwhile, Yuna and Frederick arrived at the jewelry store.
She had bought quite a few things today, carrying bags of shopping spoils, her mood was especially cheerful.
Perhaps thinking of the last time Frederick spent a big sum of money on that wretched Marguerite, she felt a surge of jealousy. Therefore, upon arriving at Grandeur Square Mall, she retaliated by making Frederick pay for her shopping spree.
At the moment, the counter was filled with all sorts of dazzling jewelry, which made Yuna's eyes sparkle.
Each piece was worth a fortune, with the cheapest one costing over twenty thousand!
Seeing this, Yuna's vanity flared up. She turned to Frederick and asked, "Freddie, I lost my necklace. Can I buy another one?"
Frederick didn't say yes, but neither did he say no. He simply turned to the clerk and ordered in a cold voice, "Get a sapphire necklace with diamonds around it."
The clerk hesitated, "I'm sorry, sir. We don't have that style of necklace in our store."
Yuna pouted and tugged at Frederick's arm, "Freddie, I don't want a sapphire necklace. I've been wearing that style for over ten years and I'm bored of it. I want something new!"
The clerk, observing the couple's interaction, made a calculated guess about their relationship.
Seeing the woman carrying bags of shopping goods, it was clear that the man had been spending on her.
Why not, then, suggest the store's new arrivals and make a handsome commission?
