As soon as the woman entered the shop, she took out some jewelry from her handbag.It was quite apparent that the woman had come to the shop with the intention of selling something.She was such a nervous wreck that she clumsily let some of the jewelry fall to the ground.

The crisp clang of the metal against the floor echoed around the place.

The woman rushed to pick the item up and placed it on the counter, together with another pearl bracelet she had just taken out of her bag as well.

“Is that an acquaintance of yours?” Sebastian asked when he saw Natalie freeze on the spot.

He looked in the direction of her gaze and saw the woman.

Natalie couldn’t be certain.She kept looking at her where she stood by the counter and said, “Her figure is reminiscent of that my foster mother.”

The shop assistant examined the jewelry and gave the woman a price.

“About one hundred thousand dollars.”

Finally, the woman opened her mouth to speak.She picked up one of the items on the counter and bargained in an exasperated tone, “It can’t be only worth one hundred thousand. These things are all real treasures.”

Natalie’s expression froze when she recognized that the woman was none other than Lauren.

Lauren felt the gaze of someone behind her, so she took off her sunglasses and looked to see who it was.She then saw that it was Natalie.

The two of them locked eyes with each other across the counter without saying a word.

Lauren was utterly mortified.She immediately turned her head.

Judging from the astounded expression on Natalie’s face, she guessed that Natalie might have recognized her.

Lauren was overwhelmed by shame.She bitterly regretted coming to this shop to pawn her jewelry.
