Chapter 42 The Jewelry
The jewelry store Alexander gave her inspired her an idea on how to deal with Lucas. There was nothing more effective than the rejection of “the flower already has an owner” to make someone stop in their tracks.
Evelyn had breakfast and then called a car to go to the downtown jewelry store.
The store is showcasing new products.
After browsing around, Evelyn stopped in front of the engagement ring section, her eyes
redden.
In her previous life, Henry had traveled to South Africa for her, selecting a one–of–a–kind ring.
But at that time, she was completely focused on William, and the ring was abandoned on the
back to the hotel after the wedding.

She still rememver the disappointed look in Henry’s eyes once she recalled this.
“Miss, which one caught your eye?” The saleswoman hurried over.
Evelyn casually pointed at one. “This one.”
The saleswoman opened the display case and hesitated. This is the finest diamond, co- designed by three renowned artists, priced at thirty million.”

Evelyn’s expression changed.
Thirty million!
Isn’t this a bit too much?
As she was complaining inwardly, she didn’t realize that the jewelry store is now belonged to
“Miss, would you like to see?”
“Sure.” Although it was a bit expensive, her current financial status could handle it.
As the saleswoman was about to take out the ring, a sarcastic voice echoed from afar.
“Things you can’t afford, it’s better not to look at them.”
Angela walked over arrogantly, followed by Emily and Mia.

Though Mia had just been discharged from the hospital and had applied makeup, it couldn’t completely conceal the fatigue on her face.
Upon seeing Evelyn, Mia’s eyes immediately filled with intense hatred.
“What a coincidence, my dear sister Mia came out for shopping,” Evelyn looked at her with a
smile.
“Evelyn, don’t go too far!” Emily shielded Mia behind her, “Haven’t you done enough harm to
Mia?”
Ha, enough? How did Mia treat her in her previous life?
Mia, in her previous life, had brought Evelyn to a movie theater and projected every frame of
Evelyn being beaten and scolded on the large screen, in grand scenes and close–ups, for a full
two hours.
Compared to this, it was like a small fish meeting a big whale.
Now, Mia wished she could tear Evelyn’s smiling face apart, but she couldn’t. She always
pretended the weak one, the one to be pitied.
“Evelyn, you…” Emily was about to say something when Angela waved her hand to stop her from speaking further. She turned to the saleswoman, “Wrap up this ring for me.”
The saleswoman looked at Evelyn, “But this young lady…”
Angela smiled coldly.
Emily exclaimed angrily, “Do you think she, in her shabby appearance, can afford it? Maybe she didn’t even bring her card.”
Evelyn stiffened for a moment; she indeed didn’t bring her card.
Angela observed every move of Evelyn. Evelyn’s appearance completely dispelled the gloom that had been lingering in her heart for the past few days.
Henry didn’t care as much about Evelyn as she had imagined; otherwise, how could he let her go out looking so shabby, without even bringing a card?
She wondered how Evelyn had managed to deceive Henry during the incident at the beauty salon.
“If this young lady doesn’t need it, we can sell this ring to Miss Powers.” The saleswoman. explained in a low voice.
Evelyn raised her hand nonchalantly, “Whatever
After wrapping up the diamond ring, Evelyn looked at another one, but within a minute, Angela snatched it away again.
Evelyn didn’t get angry; instead, she became more enthusiastic about picking rings
Emily sneered, “You can’t afford to buy, but you’ve been browsing. Are you planning to do something when averyone is off guard? Are you thinking of…77
“Emily, don’t speak nonsense. Evelyn used to have a hobby of shopping for jewelry. The rings In her room are not worse in quality than the ones here?
“How could she afford rings before?” The Taylor family’s pocket money was definitely not enough for so many. “Unable to afford them, yet having rings at home… Could it be…”
Emily’s eyes changed, and the saleswoman’s complexion changed too. She placed the ring she had just taken out as far away from Evelyn as possible.
Mia was pleased with the saleswoman’s reaction, but she immediately showed panic, pretending that she had accidentally revealed something.
“Emily, my sister is not a thief.” She anxiously approached Evelyn, “Evelyn, believe me, I didn’t
mean II.
Evelyn clearly felt the zipper of her bag being opened slightly. She smirked almost imperceptibly. Trying to frame her again?
Evelyn observed Mia’s changes from the corner of her eye, while continuing to focus on selecting rings at the counter.
In less than five minutes, Emily panickedly shouted, “Where’s my ring, my small pink diamond
ring?”
