Zoey ignored Ashley's burning eyes and looked at Howard with a face full of pleasant surprise, “Really? But..."

"There's no ‘but’. Your eyes are very beautiful, and this necklace would be perfect on you. Plus, it doesn't cost much. Don't worry." Howard thought she wanted to decline and he gently persuaded her to accept the gift.

He was secretly happy in his heart, thinking to himself, "This time, she should be more fascinated by me. As for the necklace... once I achieve my goal, she will be mine. The necklace would be nothing compared to what he’d gain."

With a wave of his hand, he was about to buy the necklace for her.

Unexpectedly, Zoey hesitated for a moment and did not agree. He kept asking and she replied, "In fact, this necklace is part of a set. There’s more to it."

"More?"

Howard was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he saw the salesgirl beside him cleverly deliver the rest of the earrings and rings. She enthusiastically said, "There are earrings and rings. Look, these materials are all top-notch workmanship. How beautiful."

Zoey looked at the jewelry in front of her and gasped dramatically, clutching her chest exaggeratedly, "Oh my! It's gorgeous. Look, this ring is as blue as a star. It even sparkles."

As soon as she finished speaking, the corner of her eyes swept across Ashley's face which was distorted even more. Ashley's expression was completely miserable, and Zoey could barely contain her laughter inside,

"Thought you two could treat me like a fool? I will make you pay all the bills today!"

This set of jewelry was true of good quality. Whether it was the sapphire’s brilliance, the craftsmanship, or the design, everything was top-notch. And since it was a complete set of three pieces, the price was no less than six figures.

Howard used to be rich, but now it was said that Tanner family’s financial situation had taken a sharp downturn. Dropping this kind of money would make him suffer a great loss.

However, this was exactly what she wanted!

Ever since her rebirth, there was not a day when she didn't want to take revenge. What was this bit of money for her? She still felt that it wasn't enough!

For now, though, she’d have to be patient. She couldn't settle all her scores at once, but at least she could make Howard feel the sting in his wallet.

Thinking of this, she became more and more pretentious, “I really like them."

She deliberately dragged out her voice, and her charm made Howard's heart race. Immediately, his remaining rationality flew away. He waved his hand heroically and said, "If you like them, wrap them up. I'll give them to you!"

"Really? But the price is really high. Forget it. I appreciate your kindness." Zoey took a step back to advance, looking as if she was thinking for his sake.

"It doesn't matter. What is this bit of money? I have plenty! Wrap them up, and give them to this young lady!" Howard finally said to the salesgirl.

The salesgirl happily agreed. She quickly wrapped up the pieces of jewelry and handed them to Howard.

When Zoey received this valuable gift, she could barely contain the laughter bubbling inside her. It took everything in her not to let her amusement show.

She pretended to be embarrassed, “You are so good. Don't worry, I will do what you asked me to do. When the time comes… just wait for my news."

She hinted at the multinational project involving the Windsor’s Group's that Howard mentioned on the phone last time.

She couldn't let him catch on to her real intentions too soon, so she had to confuse him a little longer!

Howard's eyes lit up as expected, “Really? Good, then I will wait for your good news."

Even as he was leaving with Ashley, Howard still kept looking back at her. His eyes were almost enough to make Zoey laugh out loud for a long time.
