Jarelle Zinke suddenly grew pale. She stared at Declan Roger and spat out her words, one after the other, "Declan, is this pig real or fake?"
Declan's sweat was starting to roll down his forehead, "Jarelle, I..."
Keller Lillard explained, "This golden pig was indeed a craft that was ordered by Sir Roger. As per his request, he had made the pig out of a gold alloy with a low percentage of actual gold content. The total price of this model is a hundred and thirteen thousand."
"Sir Roger, you have only paid us the thirty thousand for the deposit. Please do remember to pay us the remaining one-hundred thousand that you still owe us!”
The crowd was in an uproar.
Not only was the golden pig from Declan fake, rather, the pig had not even been paid for, in full.
Everyone was murmuring that Jarelle's rich boyfriend only knew how to put on a flashy show.
Jarelle glared at Declan, she repeated, "The pig is fake?"
Declan's face flushed red, and his sweat was all over him. He stuttered, "Listen to me, Jarelle..."
"The pig is fake?"
"THE PIG IS FAKE?"
Declan was forced onto a figurative edge, off a cliff by Jarelle. He finally blew his top in shame, "So what if it's fake? That doesn't change the fact that I have already spent a few thousand on it! And I still owe the jewelry shop one hundred thousand!"
"Aren't you the one who'd wanted to bathe in your own vanity? Well, let me tell you one thing! I did all of this just for you to satisfy your ego!"
"We have already been together for one month and we haven't even slept together once. Now, you want to treat me like your enemy?"
Jedediah Zinke heard Declan's words and started to tremble in rage, "You rascal! How dare you!"
Jarelle's face was also as white as a sheet of paper. She looked at Declan in disbelief, "I can't believe the goody-two-shoes you were was just an act you'd put on to get inside my pants! So this is who you actually are huh, Declan Roger?"
Declan was also thrown under the bus by that comment. He sneered, "You seek fame and glory while I crave for your body. Isn't that a fair exchange?"
"Hahaha... You don't really think I am going to marry you right?"
Jedediah almost vomited blood when he heard Declan's words. He was utterly flabbergasted.
