Valeria waited for almost an hour in the pawn. Several staffs took magnifying glasses and carefully studied her jewelry one by one. Finally, they finished.
"These jewels are all real. I will report to our boss immediately. Miss Brown, what is your estimated price?"
Of course a hundred million dollars. But Valeria knew the jewels weren't worth that much.
She had also learned to be smart now, "What do you think the highest price can be offered?"
"Let's ask the leaders and then make a bid for you. Please wait for a moment, Miss Brown."
Less than ten minutes, they replied, "Miss Brown, our boss said that he would pay you 100 million dollars for your jewels."
"One hundred million?" Valeria was stunned. She suspected that she had heard it wrong.
The staff repeated it again. Valeria was shocked.
"But when I bought these jewelry, I didn't spend so much money. Isn't the pawn supposed to reduce the price? How could it be so much higher than the original price? Could you be mistaken?"
"There's nothing wrong with it." The staff replied seriously, "Many of your jewelry has gone up in price now."
"Even so, it's impossible to go up so much. You'd better caculate it again. Don't get fired for miscalculating." Valeria kindly reminded.
"It can't be wrong, Miss Brown. If you agree, we will accept these jewelry and give you 100 million dollars."
Of course, Valeria agreed. She signed the contract with the staff, gave all the jewelry to the pawn and took away 100 million dollars.
Holding the check of 100 million dollars, Valeria felt like she was in a dream. After getting on the car, she immediately called William, "Hurry up and come back. I've prepared you a big surprise."
William knew what Valeria had in store for him. Just now, Marcus vividly reported the whole story happened in the pawning. William burst into laughter when he heard the words and deeds of the silly woman.
He had to say that Valeria was too pure and kind. It was lucky for her to run into him. If it were someone else, she would have been eaten to nothing.
William immediately drove back to Lake View Nest. After five minutes or so, Valeria came back.
As soon as she entered the room, she presented the check and handed it to him, "This is for you. Go and pay your debts right away!"
"So much money? How did you get it?" William put on a surprised look.
"I won't tell you. Anyway, I've given you the money. You can take it immediately to pay the debt. Don't go to work in Climax Space anymore. Go find another job to do, okay?"
William suppressed the urge to laugh and said, "I know, but in that case, I'll owe you one hundred million dollars. What if you force me to pay the debt back in the future?"
"I won't let you pay off your debts. Don't worry."
"But what if you turn against me in the future? You must have a purpose for such a large sum of money, don't you?"
"I don't have any purpose. I just want to help you."
"The people who lent me money before said the same words. But later, they asked me to do such a job. I've been fooled before and I don't dare to trust people anymore. You'd better tell me what you want, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take your money."
William insisted that she tell him what she was up to. Valeria was speechless. She had never met someone like him who refused to take the money but insisted on asking her purpose.
She said in a rough tone, "Let's just say I like you, just like all the rich women do. Here's my tip for you."
"Is that so? Then I'll be yours from now on, right?" The corners of William's lips curled up into a sinister smile.
