Chapter 45
Frederick still did to and wanted Kimberly to return the necklace. Anna persuaded, “Frederick, now that Kim’s so into i just gave it to her.
“As for Angic, you can buy her a new one. Nowadays, jewelry is more beautiful and has better quality. We must be fair to Angie too
In fact, Anna didn’t see anything special about the necklace, and she had no idea why her daughter was attracted to it
But now that it was Katelyn’s item, she wanted her daughter to have it.
ve them to her. But the necklace was now in Kimberly’s hands.
Frederick sighed in frustration and ascended the stairs to his study sullenly.
He had promised Angels that he would sort out Katelyn’s p personal effects and gave
The good thing was, there was a bracelet that Angela’s mother had left. He planned to keep it from Katelyn and Kimberly, and when Angela came home, he would hand it to her.
In the study, Frederick looked for Katelyn’s notes, and thought Angela would be interested in them.
At the same time, Kimberly and Anna were busy searching for Katelyn’s earrings in the storage room. Anna initially was unhappy doing her daughter this favor. After all, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
More importantly, she had planned to visit Lane in prison. Although he failed his mission, he didn’t turn her in. She thought that he was serious
about her.
But when she heard from Kimberly that the earrings were valuable, she gave up paying a visit to Lane. Finding the earrings was more important than meeting him.
Their hard work paid off. They finally found the earrings in a corner.
With inlaid rubies, the earrings were small and exquisite. The gemstones were clear and red.
Kimberly put it away carefully and left in a hurry. She didn’t want her father to know that the earrings were in her hands now.
No sooner had she started the car when her phone rang. It was an unknown number. Without any hesitation, she hung up. But the other party called her again.
Kimberly pulled her car over to the side of the road and answered it. In a displeased tone, she asked, “Who is this?”
A nice female voice sounded. “Is this Miss Kimberly Simpson! My boss wants to invite
What
you to dinner.”
Who is your boss?” Kimberly wasn’t interested in the invitation, Was there anyone richer than Pierre in Tervais
“My boss is Ronald Tinsley, the woman from the other end of the line continued. “You’ve seen him before, Miss Simpson.
It took Kimberly a while to remember who Ronald was. She was very glad to get an invitation from an elite. But she had no intention of accepting it immediately. She said, “Well, it rings a bell. But we just met once.
On the other end of the line, Shirley continued with a smile, “Miss Simpson, if you often see each other, you’ll get familiar. He will expect you at Beach at 6 o’clock tonight”
Shirley had already gotten to know Kimberly inside and out
Kimberly’s father was from Lastier, and his ancestors were ordinary people. It was also after Frederick married his first wife that he started his business in Lastier
Her mother, Anna, was raised in Hosite. Her family was once prominent during her great–grandfather’s time, and but declined. Even her family now ran a large restaurant, they had to rely on the Simpson family.
Since Kimberly attached much importance to her reputation, Shirley was confident that she would accept the invitation.
As expected, Kimberly agreed reluctantly.
Shirley ended the call and stared at the man opposite her speechlessly. She didn’t understand why her boss would have a crush on such a woman. Kimberly was a vain opportunity. She didn’t see any of her merits except her fine features.
Ronald looked up at her and asked. “Did she accept my invitation“”
Shirley nodded. “Yes, sir.”
“You can get off work r
work early unday. These days you’ve been run off your feet,” he said.
Chapter 15
Shirley was taken aback by his words. Her boss usually attended events with her.
to act alone today? This has never happened before. Something is going on,” she thought.
“Is Mr. Tinsley going to act
She thought it necessary to check Kimberly’s information again.
In the Beach.
Ronald was sipping coffer quietly. It was already 6:10 pm, and Kimberly still didn’t make her appearance.
He was a punctual man. He didn’t understand why Pierre would have feelings for Kimberly who was of unpunctuality.
Punctuality was everything for businessmen, and those who were punctual tended to win their business partners‘ trust.
It wasn’t until 6:20 pm
pm that Kimberly showed up
“Sorry, Mr. Tinsley. I was stuck in traffic, Kimberly apologized. She was displeased when she noticed that Ronald hadn’t booked them a private
room.
Having looked Ronald up online, she was aware that Ronald was a partner in one of the top law firms. She wondered why people of his level didn’t reserve a private room when they treated their guests to dinner.
She had gotten dressed up for this meeting
Today, she was wearing a black one–neck dress with her beautiful hair tied up in a bun, revealing her neck and prominent collarbone.
The ruby necklace looked even more eye–catching as she was clad in black clothes and her comple
was fair.
Ronald took a deep breath, impressed by her beauty. There was no denying that this woman was gorgeous and knew how to make herself beautiful.
The necklace seemed to be more radiant on her.
Ronald placed dishes onto Kimberly’s plate like a gentleman and praised, “Miss Simpson, you look incredible. This necklace seems to be made for you.”
Kimberly was happy getting compliments from men, elites like Ronald in particular. It was a shame that Claire and Susan were not present Otherwise, they would definitely get envious.
After some small talk, Ronald said casually, “Miss Simpson, your necklace is amazing. I’d like to get one for my fiancee. I wonder where you bought ic.”
Kimberly touched her ruby necklace and said proudly, “I’m sorry. Mr. Tinsley. This is an heirloom of my family,”
As she spoke, she didn’t hesitate or feel embarrassed at all. She was such a good liar that no one could see through her lic.
When he heard this, Ronald’s heart skipped a beat.
He continued to probe,” Miss Simpson, is this necklace a set or not? Can you sell it to
o me!
Kimberly replied, “Theard from my father that this necklace, earrings, and ring are a set.
“And I’m sorry that I can’t sell it to you. It’s my family heirloom. I’ve never considered selling it to others
However, her real thought said otherwise. “If you really want it, you should name a price. As long as the offer is generous. I’ll sell
When he learned that the necklace went with other jewelry pieces, Ronald was more certain that this was the one he had been looking for.
Was Kimberly the person he was searching for!
He had no answer.
Miss Simpson, if I were to pay 2.5 million dollars for the jewelry set, would you sell it to
Ronald’s offer shook Kimberly up. So the jewelry set was really worth so much money.
When Susan said it was worth one mallion, she thought that she had lied just to please her.
Kimberly tried her best to calm down. If he offered to buy it with 2.5 million dollars, it meant that it was worth more than that.
People would bargain when they purchased cheap stuff. Of course, she wouldn’t make the deal with him immediately.
So Kimberly continued to turn down his offer. “I’m sorry, this is a family heirloom. I have no intention of selling it.
Chapter 45
Ronald drew an approving smile. Kimberly’s attitude towards the family heirloom satisfied her.
Then, he continued to place food onto Kimberly’s plate as he apologized. Please forgive my rude request. I shouldn’t have asked you to sell me your family heirloom.”
Kimberly was stunned. Why didn’t he play by the rules?
Shouldn’t he increase his offer?
