Chapter 289:
Evelyn gave an embarrassed smile and explained, “It was just a trivial mishap p>
She then cast a disdainful look at Jenessa and added, “This loser damaged my ring, and I intend to involve the police.” Without delay, Evelyn called over the manager and instructed, “Detain this woman at once p>
The manager summoned two guards to escort Jenessa out.
“Who dares lay a hand on me?” Jenessa challenged, her voice fierce and commanding.
Her icy glare caused the manager and the guards to pause abruptly.
Seeing them swayed so easily by Jenessa’s words, Evelyn’s anger flared.
She fixed a fierce stare on Jenessa and snapped, “How dare you deny your actions? You damaged a ring valued at one hundred million. You must pay for it p>
Jenessa found the accusation absurd and retorted calmly, “If your ring was indeed that valuable, why would you risk using it in a fraud p>
She crouched and retrieved the broken ring from the floor.
Jenessa examined it carefully for a few seconds, noting that its color and weight felt off.
Upon discovering the discrepancy, her expression softened.
She gave Evelyn a frosty look and stated each word deliberately.
“This ring you prize so highly is utterly worthless. It’s a mere imitation. Furthermore, I never laid a hand on you just now. You shattered the ring yourself p>
Evelyn shifted uncomfortably under Jenessa’s unwavering stare. She inhaled sharply and snapped, “This ring is an invaluable antique, you bumpkin p>
Feel inspired by
“Are you certain?” Jenessa inquired.
Evelyn straightened and yelled, “You are beneath me. What could you possibly understand? I suggest you figure out how to compensate me quickly p>
Seeing Evelyn’s obstinacy, Jenessa declared, “We’ll see if it’s fake or not. Let’s test it with a lighter, and then we’ll be sure p>
At these words, Evelyn’s face fell. If Jenessa really did test it with a lighter, her deceit would be uncovered.
Without pausing to think, she lunged to snatch the ring from Jenessa’s grasp.
“Return it! Don’t touch my belongings p>
Then Nicolas intervened from the sidelines.
“I have a lighter right here. Let’s just see for ourselves p>
He produced his lighter and offered it to Jenessa.
Evelyn was taken aback, not anticipating Nicolas’s sudden support for Jenessa.
Jenessa, equally surprised, hadn’t expected this assistance from the white-bearded old man.
Nonetheless, she accepted the lighter and ignited the ring.
“Damn it!” Evelyn’s face twisted in fury as she shouted and charged forward.
However, it was too late.
The flame swiftly engulfed the ring, revealing its true nature…
“Wow, your ‘precious antique’ is burning so quickly,” Jenessa said with a hint of sarcasm, flinging the flaming ring toward Evelyn.
