Chapter - 237

Ah! Lacey’s face turned red instantly as she bit her lips and said, “C-can I undo that bet?”

“As a human, especially as a businessperson, trust is very important,” Zeke argued anxiously. “How can you be successful if you can’t keep your promise?”

Lacey stared at Zeke’s anxious expression and couldn’t help but laugh. She couldn’t help but realize how cute Zeke was when he was all flustered.

“Chill,” Lacey stuck her tongue out and laughed. “I’m not going back on my promise. But, it’s still quite early to head to the hotel, isn’t it?”

“You’re right,” Zeke smiled.”, to reward you, I’ve decided to buy you some jewelry.”

Lacey didn’t want that because it meant spending time on things other than her work since she still has a lot to do, including managing the Love in a Fallen City project and constructing the Linton Group.

But she finally gave in to Zeke’s persuading. They soon arrived at Royal Jewelry.

Looking at the signboard, Lacey turned to Zeke worriedly. “Zeke, let’s go to another shop. I’ve heard that the cheapest piece here goes for a million minimum. Instead of spending that money here, I’d rather buy a new house.”

“No can do,” Zeke smiled and pulled Lacey into the store. “Only the best for my girlfriend. Let’s go.”

Interestingly, Emily was at Royal Jewelry as well. After getting one of the gems Zeke had given her appraised, she left the store with her head down.

The piece she got appraised was a gold necklace, which seemed like the most expensive piece in it to her. But to her surprise, the appraiser told her that the necklace was made out of placer gold, meaning that the gold had a lot of impurities.

Emily thought that if the necklace was something that even the store wouldn’t buy, then the other products were worth even less.

Two sale representatives were whispering on the side.

“I don’t know where she gets the courage to ask us to appraise some placer gold products.”

“I reckon she’s trying to scam some money from us.”

“Is that so? I think she’s just too dumb to differ good and bad products.”

Emily lowered her head even further as she scolded Zeke in her head for giving her such cheap quality jewellery pieces.

When Emily made her way out the door, she ran into someone else and quickly apologized. “I’m sorry!”

Since the guests who could visit Royal Jewelry were people with high statuses, Emily knew she couldn’t afford to offend them.

“Emily?”

Emily raised her head only to see Lacey and Zeke in front of her.

“Zeke? How are you still here? I thought you were taken away by Mr. Hugh!”

Emily still has no idea that her little brother was apprehended.

“You should go back and see for yourself what’s happening right now,” Zeke replied.

“Huh? I’ll tell you what’s happening right now! My brother just got promoted to a second lieutenant!”

“Zeke, forget it,” Lacey stopped Zeke. “Let’s go.”

Zeke nodded obediently.

“Wait? Are you guys here to buy something?”
