Zeke attempted to say something, but before he could get his words out, Courtney cut him off with a smile. "Thank you so much, Mr. Pena. You're so generous!"
Without giving him any time to react, she did what Zeke had done earlier and waved her hand to get the crowd's attention before calling out loudly, "Mr. Pena said he wants to buy me the watch that costs five hundred grand! Don't you think he's so amazing?!"
Naturally, the crowd broke out in discussion once again.
"Another guy says he's going to buy that watch? Is he going to be another poser?"
"I don't think so. Look, he's dripping in branded apparel. There's no reason why he would slap himself in the face with a statement like that!"
All at once, the crowd began to cheer.
"What a generous guy you are, Mr. Pena! What luck! We're going to get to see what a watch that costs five hundred grand looks like!"
"Yeah! Hurry up and pay for it! Teach that loser a lesson! You'll get to walk away with your arms around the woman too!"
Meanwhile, Catherine was still busy perusing the display to choose which watch she wanted.
As soon as she heard what Courtney said, she froze in shock!
After standing in a daze for quite some time, she rushed over at once and grabbed Zeke's arm. "Darling, what's going on? Why are you buying her such an expensive watch?!"
All the color had drained from Zeke's face. "I didn't say that! She's making it up!"
Catherine heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. Then, she turned to Courtney and berated her viciously, "What kind of an evil b*tch are you?! How can you try to come between me and my boyfriend like that?"
Courtney shrugged. "He just said that all I had to do was say the word and he would dump you, and he would buy me a watch too. Catherine, have you ever heard me tell lies?"
"You… Stop trying to cause a rift in our relationship! What a nasty b*tch you are!" Catherine screeched, "I won't believe your bullsh*t!"
That was what she said, but deep down inside, her heart was pounding!
She shared a dorm room with Courtney for nearly four years now, and she knew very well that Courtney was not the kind of person who would make up a story like that.
However, she could not back down now.
