When Julien heard that someone was selling Ocean Star, he immediately straightened his body and asked, "Someone is selling the Ocean Star to you?"
Yvette said, "It's not just the Ocean Star, but other valuable jewelry and some gowns that have only been worn once. I think these things are all high quality goods. I'm worried that someone might have stolen your stuff to sell, so I called you in advance to inform you."
Julien asked, "Who is the seller?"
Yvette said, "It's a young, beautiful girl who looks quite elegant. But then again, Julien, you're not having an affair with another woman while being engaged at the same time, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Without having to think much, Julien was sure that the girl who was trying to sell Ocean Star to Yvette was Vanessa. He said in an instant, "Don't spread the news that someone is selling the necklace to you. If she wants to sell them, just buy them at any price."
Yvette said, "It seems like she doesn't know anything about those things that she is selling though. She doesn't even know how much those things were worth, so she asked us to make the offer instead. And that was why I suspected that they were stolen goods."
Julien said with a gloomy face, "What are you talking about? Those things are all hers. Since she doesn't know how much those things are worth, just give her a fair price. Don't take advantage of her."
"You must be kidding me, Julien. That necklace is worth more than 100 million dollars, okay? Even if I were to sell myself off, I still can't afford to pay that kind of money." Yvette was curious. "Who is she by the way? Why are you being so protective of her? Is she the girl who you're engaged to?"
When Julien announced his engagement, he had only mentioned his fiancee's name. Hence, no one knew who Vanessa Love was nor did they know her true appearance.
"Stay out of my business." Julien's tone did not change and he sounded as calm as usual. However, only he knew how agitated he was inside. Vanessa was actually selling all the things he had given her. She really wanted nothing but money. Even if he was so angry that he wanted to kill her, he still couldn't bear to let her be wronged. "Just pay up. I'll send someone to get the money and get the stuff from you later."
Yvette said again, "Okay. I'll go deal with her now. By the way, remember to bring the money over and pick up the stuff later. Every item here is worth at least a million. No one can actually afford it, I'm definitely not going to do such an unprofitable business."
Julien did not respond and hung up directly.
Listening to the disconnected tone, Yvette's face fell instantly. She said bitterly, "Humph, there is such an excellent girl like me by your side but you can't even notice it, and you even pretended like you didn't know that I like you. Instead, you only care about a woman who doesn't even appreciate your gifts."
Their mothers had been best friends for decades. They were so close it was as if they were one big family. This was why Yvette had the opportunity to approach Julien who was now the new president of Rovio.
However, she could only hide her feelings for him to herself. She was afraid that if she were to confess to him, the two families would never be like how they were now.
Yvette turned her head and looked out of the window. From her office, she could clearly see the situation in the reception area. At this time, a young and beautiful woman was sitting there. She was beautiful and attractive, but she seemed to have something on her mind. She was not only restless but also frowned from time to time.
She should be Vanessa Love, the girl Julien announced his engagement to.
Now that she had already won Julien's heart and would become Mrs. Kyle very soon, why did she still look so worried?
The girl really couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it. After calming down, she came to the reception area of the store. Seeing her, Vanessa stood up immediately and said, "Hello, you must be the owner of this store."
Vanessa came to sell her stuff, but after the sales assistant had taken a look at them, the sales assistant immediately said that it was not something that she could decide on. She asked Vanessa to wait for a few moments while she consulted her boss. After waiting for a long time, and finishing a few cups of tea, the store owner finally showed up.
Yvette nodded. "Yes, I am the owner of this store. My name is Yvette Spencer. Nice to meet you."
