All this while, Vanessa had never believed that her piece was the real Ocean Star. What Yvette offered her was completely beyond her expectation. "Miss Spencer, are you really going to buy this necklace at this price? Aren't you afraid that you'll suffer losses?"
Yvette said, "What's wrong? You don't feel like selling it?"
In fact, Vanessa was a little reluctant to sell this necklace. After all, it was her favorite among the gifts Julien had given her. However, thinking about Lawrie who was in the hospital, she had no choice but to sell it. She said, "It's not that I don't want to sell it, I just don't want you to lose money."
It was worth more than one hundred million dollars but not only Vanessa was willing to sell it at such a low price, she was actually worried that Yvette would get the short end of the stick. Was she stupid, or did she not know how rich Julien was? Could it be that she did not believe that the gifts Julien had given her were actually something?
Yvette added, "I've been in this industry for so many years now, I know what I'm doing. As for you, do you really want to sell it to me for 300,000 dollars? Aren't you afraid that you will be on the losing side instead?"
Vanessa asked in reply, "Am I?"
Yvette did not know how to answer her.
How was she supposed to answer this question?
She couldn't be saying that she had secretly informed the actual buyer of this necklace, could she?
Vanessa added, "Miss Spencer, could you please quote a price for the other items as well?"
Yvette said, "Miss Love, can I ask you something irrelevant? But of course, I'm just asking, you can choose not to answer."
Vanessa asked, "What is it, Miss Spencer?"
Yvette said, "To tell you the truth, these jewelry and evening gowns are high- end products. They are definitely worth more than the price I've offered you, but you're still willing to sell them off. May I ask if you're in need of money? Why do you need so much money?"
Since Yvette was just an outsider, Vanessa thought that she had nothing to hide from her, so she said, "I need money to pay for a child's medical treatment." "A child's treatment?" Yvette tone ascended.
"Miss Love, you look so young but you have a kid already?"
Whose child was it?
Could it be that Vanessa and Julien had secretly given birth to the next successor of the Kyle family?
Vanessa did not want to lie, but when she saw Yvette's expression, she was afraid that this matter would get exposed. She quickly covered up. "No, not my child. It's my best friend's son. They really need the money for the treatment, so I'm just trying to help them as much as I can."
Yvette patted her chest and said, "That's right. It's impossible that you have a child. You definitely scared me, Miss Love."
Vanessa did not understand. "But why do you think that it's impossible for me to have a child though?"
"Because you're Young Master Julien's fiancee, aren't you? I don't think Young Master Julien would ever marry a woman who has a child, right?"
Yvette thought so in her heart, but what she said to Vanessa was completely different. She said, "Because you look like you're in your early twenties at most. You don't look like someone who has a child at all."
Vanessa did not want to talk about her personal matters anymore, so she tried to change the subject, "Miss Spencer, could you please take a look at these jewelleries and dresses, and see how much they are worth?"
"Okay, I'll quote a price for you now." Then, Yvette began to put forward a quotation for each of the items that Vanessa had brought over.
Although the rest were not as expensive as Ocean Star, the cheapest item was still worth at least a million. The total came to at least ten million dollars, but Yvette had only paid a million for everything. Even so, Vanessa seemed like she was quite satisfied with the offer.
