Chapter: 240
“This is a present that Matt gifted you two days ago. Since you’re attending the party today, I think you can put this to good use. Have a look.”
As she spoke, she opened up the jewelry box. There was a pair of ruby earrings in it..
The earrings were exquisite and delicate. They were dazzling under the light’s Illumination.
“Wow! It’s spectacular!‘
Julie’s eyes lit up as she scrambled to get up. She pulled the jewelry box over for a better look at the earrings. Aunt Florence, such gorgeous earrings must cost a bomb, won’t they?”
“I heard Matt mention that these are Pandarum earrings, and they are custom–made. This is the only pair in the whole of Swinton. It costs millions, Florence announced proudly.
“Is that so? As expected, only the best from Matt!”
Julie beamed as she picked up one of the earrings and put it on.
“Aunt Florence, how does it look on me?”
“You’re a born beauty, Julie. Of course, it looks magnificent on you,” Florence answered.
“Hehe! Well, thank you then, Aunt Florence!”
Julie brazenly took the other earring and put it on too. It was evident that she was about to take it as her own.
Her actions gave Florence quite a shock.
“Julie, this is your cousin’s gift from Matt. It wouldn’t be too nice for you to wear it tonight.” Florence chuckled awkwardly.
“What’s wrong with me wearing it? I’m just borrowing it for the night, it’s not like I’m not going to give it back.” Julie snapped bluntly.
“But”
Florence was about to counter what she just said, but Julie cut her off.
“Aunt Florence, we’re relatives. You can’t be so petty, can you?”
“Julie Amberson! These are my sister’s earrings! What rights do you have to wear them?” James finally could not take it any longer.
She said that she was just borrowing them, but the fact was, she had never once returned the items she borrowed!
This was plain robbery!
“Hey! Why are you shouting at me? Isn’t it just a pair of earrings? Aren’t you just being selfish?” Julie slammed her hand on the table aggressively.
“I’m selfish? Do you have any idea how greedy you look right now? Do you have no shame?” James bellowed.
“How dare you scold me? Aunt Florence! Did you hear what James said? I can leave if I’m not welcome here!” Julie flared up.
And with that, she turned to leave.
