Pursuing Her

Chapter 62 Amorous Atmosphere

“Like I’d expect people like you to know what this rock actually is! It’s worth at least ten million!”

The man never liked women like them. All they had were looks but no substance.

“You!”

Danielle wanted to retaliate, but her friend held her back.

“Stop talking. His family’s the biggest antique trader in Jipsdale. If he says the rock is worth that much, it’s definitely worth that much. You’ll only look ignorant if you try to argue with him.”

“She’s right. Just keep your mouth shut. You’re embarrassing us!”

With that, Danielle stopped talking.

Never had she expected Sophie to be able to afford to buy Ysabelle a rock worth ten million.

“Sorry, but I can’t sell this no matter how much it costs. It’s my favorite gift. Thank you so much, Soph, but you really didn’t have to go to such lengths for my birthday gift.”

She couldn’t imagine Sophie having forked out ten million on this rock.

“You’re most welcome. It’s just ten million, anyway. Anything is worth it as long as you like it.”

Sophie truly didn’t care about the price. All that mattered was that Ysabelle liked the gift.

“I love it!”

Felix felt a little sheepish now, for his gift no longer seemed as extravagant compared to what Sophie had prepared.

Sophie didn’t like being in crowded places, so she turned and left after the cake-cutting ceremony, heading outside to enjoy the night view of the city.

Yet, no matter how much she tried to avoid trouble, trouble always seemed to follow her.

With her group of friends, Danielle walked toward Sophie.

“Mr. Tristan helped you get that rock, didn’t he, Sophie? It’s not like your family has that much money anyway.”

Danielle refused to believe that Sophie could afford something this expensive.

“Yeah! Even if you don’t admit it, that necklace you’re wearing is more than enough proof. I saw Mr. Tristan buy it at an auction with my own eyes.”

“There’s no way a peasant like you can afford something worth ten million.”

“Well, if thinking that way makes you happy, I won’t stop you,” Sophie replied calmly. “Are you done? Can you buzz off now?”

“Buzz off? Who are you telling to buzz off? Just who do you think you are?” Danielle retorted in an attempt to establish dominance.

“You. I’m talking to you.”

“You!”
