Chapter 49 Chapter 49: You Are Heartless
Estelle replied to the message with trembling hands.
‘Sir, you don’t have to give me so much money. I don’t need a ring.’
She couldn’t help thinking, ‘I’m dying. The ring is useless for me. And buying such expensive rings in a fit of anger is irrational.’
Mr. Mysterious replied to her soon.
‘You need it.’
‘Buy the rings. I want to see you wear the ring. This is my requirement for you as your employer.’
At this time, Rebecca caught up with Estelle and asked, “Estelle, what are you looking for?”
Estelle put away her phone and shook her head, “Nothing.”
“Did you see your acquaintance passing by?” Rebecca continued asking.
“Well, maybe I was mistaking someone for an acquaintance,” Estelle plainly explained.
Rebecca sighed and said, “Don’t lie to me. I know you just wanted to find an excuse to leave the jewellery store because you don’t want me to spend money on you. I’m sorry, Estelle. I brought you here and wanted to teach them a lesson to make you happy, but I didn’t expect that I would make you unhappy.”
“Who said I’m unhappy?” Estelle held her hand and push-opened the door of the jewellery store, “Let’s go and buy the rings.”
In a daze, Rebecca was pulled back to the jewellery store by Estelle.
“Excuse me,” Estelle called the shop assistant’s attention, pointing at the rings in front of Cristofer and Gretchen, “We’ll take this pair of rings.”
The saleswoman was shocked. “Miss, didn’t you say you didn’t want them?”
“I’ve changed my mind. The rings are beautiful, simple, and exquisite. I like them very much. Please pack them for me. Where’s the cashier desk?”
The saleswoman was stunned for a few seconds and then said, “There it is. By the way, Miss, the ring can be customized. Do you need a customized one?”
Estelle asked, “How soon will I get the rings if I want customized ones?”
“About two months later,” The saleswoman answered.
“I can’t wait. I’ll take this pair,” Estelle said as she handed her bank card to her.
After paying the bill, she looked at the receipt from the POS machine and smiled with ease of mind.
Previously, her account had been frozen, and financial worries cost her many sleepless nights. It was not until this moment that she finally experienced the happiness money brought her.
Later, the saleswoman walked to Cristofer and Gretchen and said with an embarrassed smile, “I’m sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Hans. That lady has bought this pair of rings. I have to pack them for her now.”
Gretchen kept staring at Estelle with her eyes full of doubt and thought, ‘The rings cost about seven hundred thousand dollars. Where did Estelle get so much money?’
“Hold on,” Gretchen stood up and said. “Did she pay them with a check? I didn’t mean to embarrass her. I just want to remind you that her account is frozen, and the check may not be able to be cashed out.”
Hearing that, Estelle asked at once, “Miss Abrams, how did you know that my account has been frozen?”
Gretchen was stunned and then realized that she had spilt the beans, “I...”
Seeing her embarrassed reaction, Estelle approached her step by step, stared at her, and said, “Did my Uncle tell you about it?”
“Yes!” Gretchen admitted it immediately. “My Dad told me about it before.”
“Your Dad?”
“My mother has married him. Shouldn’t I call him Dad?” Gretchen said arrogantly.
“There’s nothing wrong,” Estelle said. “I just want to ask you whether you will repay your father’s debt to him?”
Gretchen frowned and said, “How is he possibly in debt? Even if he is in debt, as his daughter, I will help... Ah!”
Before she could finish her words, she was slapped in the face by Estelle.
Covering her face in disbelief, she looked at Estelle and shouted, “Estelle, are you out of your mind?”
“This is just the interest on the debt,” Estelle snapped. “You and your mother almost killed my son. I must avenge him and let you pay for it!”
After saying that, she raised her hand and slapped Gretchen’s face again with all her strength. Her hands were numb and a little painful, but she felt delighted.
“This slap is supposed to be for your father. Since he’s not here, as his daughter, you should bear the blame for him. He is so despicable that he schemed against my family and caused my mother’s serious illness. I will make him lose everything that he has sooner or later!”
The atmosphere in the store suddenly became tense.
The saleswoman immediately came to mediate between them, “Miss, please calm down. Don’t be impulsive. This lady is Mr. Hans’ fiancee, the future Mrs. Hans. Please don’t treat her like this.”
Rebecca pulled the saleswoman away and said with a sneer, “The future Mrs. Hans? Then let’s wait and see if she will become Mrs. Hans in the future. Besides, is being Mrs. Hans so great? I don’t think so.”
The saleswoman didn’t know what to say and was very anxious.
Cristofer stepped forward to protect Gretchen and said to Estelle, “Estelle! If you have any complaints, just come to me! Gretchen is injured. How could you treat her so rudely?”
“She almost killed your son and destroyed my family!” Estelle roared with blue veins standing out on her temples, and she burst into tears. “Cristofer, you are a fool! Your stupidity has blinded you to the truth! You never listened to me and only hurt me!”
“I will find out the truth myself. Get out of here!” Cristofer said coldly.
“I will leave right away!” Estelle wiped the tears on her face, gritted her teeth, and said coldly, “Cristofer, you are too heartless!”
Cristofer got furious and said, “Listen carefully, woman, I want to remind you that you are heartless! You killed Mrs. Moorsum!”
“I killed Mrs. Moorsum?” Estelle smiled bitterly. “Forget it. No matter what I say, you won’t believe me. Cristofer, I’m done with your false accusations. I don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore. When do you have free time? Let’s get divorced as soon as possible!”
In a low voice, hearing about the divorce, Cristofer said unnaturally, “I don’t have free time yet. I’ve been swamped these days.”
“Well, Mr. Hans, you are so busy that you can only spare time to go shopping with your mistress but have no time to get divorced. How long will it take to go through the divorce procedures? Even half an hour is enough. Since you are free now, how about going through the divorce procedures today?” Rebecca said in a heavy voice filled with sarcasm.
Cristofer stared coldly at her and said, “Miss Miller, whether I get divorced or not has nothing to do with you!”
