Chapter 1044
Liam honestly answered, “It looks very good.” He had also taken a fancy to this pair of rings at first sight, but he was a bit puzzled.
“Why buy gold rings? Don’t you prefer diamond rings?”
In his opinion, gold is easy to deform and wear, not the best ring material
Celeste’s reason was straightforward
“Gold retains its value The wedding ring you bought me, when I had it appraised last year, they only valued it at over a million, while we bought it for over three million, the gap is too big, the gold bracelet you gave me at our wedding has appreciated nearly ten thousand this year Buying gold is safer than buying diamonds. If you go bankrupt in the future, we can sell the gold to make ends meet!
Liam thought there was some special meaning to this, but it turned out to be fear of depreciation.
In Mrs. Reed’s eyes, money is still the most important thing
“How did you find this shop?”
Liam held her hand and asked as they walked
The location of this shop is not easy to find, but Celeste was able to find it accurately. It wasn’t her first time here.
Sure enough, Celeste said, “When I was in school, Trishals mother was choosing a Mother’s Day gift. She said that the brands in the big malls were overpriced, so she took me around looking for gold and silver jewelry shops in lanes, and finally picked a pair of earrings from this shop”
“Actually, I saw a necklace in their shop, a very fine chain that was shiny and very beautiful. I wanted to give it to my mother
But at that time, I didn’t have enough money, and I couldn’t ask my father–Shawn for the money. Even if I asked, he wouldn’t give it to me, and I would likely be
scolded by him
After all, in his eyes, paying for a sick person’s medical expenses was already very annoying for him, and he certainly wouldn’t spend money to buy her gifts
I didn’t have enough money, so if I wanted to buy it, I had to get a part–time job. At that time, a print model made 50 dollars a day, and a show girl at a car show made 100 to 150 dollars a day. I was lucky and got selected to be a show girl at the car show, and I worked for six days in total.
I was supposed to get 800 dollars, but on the last day of the car show, I had a conflict with a man who got injured and made a scene at the convention center in the end, the police came and contacted my guardian, Shawn, and we ended up compensating the man 500 dollars
I wanted to go to the person in charge of the convention center to ask for my salary, but I was stopped by Shawn, who said I was making a fool of myself
In his eyes, being harassed by a man was something I should be ashamed of, because being a show girl at a car show meant that I didn’t respect myself.
He made me doubt for a while whether being beautiful was a sin. I didn’t even dare to wear pretty dresses, but in reality, the dirty ones should be those vulgar people”
She spoke in a very calm tone, as if telling someone else’s story, but it made Liam’s heart ache.
“Later, I received 600 dollars in compensation. However, when I went to buy the necklace with the money, I found that it had already been bought by someone else. and Mother’s Day had passed”
Liam felt a little choked up
He knew about this, but not until today did he find out that the person who had been harassed that day was Celeste.
He was at the car show that year
But at that time, he was a VIP invited by the organizers, chatting with the person in charge of the exhibition on the upper floor.
When the incident happened, he didn’t witness it. By the time he found out, the scene downstairs was in an uproar.
The convention center was all shook up about this potentially messing with their brand image, so they quickly pulled the folks involved in the conflict into a separate room to hash things out.
Liam’s collaboration was a smashing success. As he was leaving, he bumped into a girl who was crying her eyes out in the stairwell
