The Ninth Bride (Samantha and Finley)

Chapter 258 Was He in the Wrong for Doing That? Just 500,000?

Had Hazel not claimed the necklace was worth over ten million? Even if it was an older model, it should not be sold for just 500,000.

Samantha said, "A classmate of mine mentioned that this diamond necklace cost over ten million. Offering only 500,000 seems quite low." The sales associate smiled and replied, "Miss, the original price of this necklace was 1.18 million. 500,000 is already quite generous.

"If you have doubts, I can show you last year's price list right away."

Samantha was taken aback.

This was rather awkward.

Hazel had misled Samantha into believing the necklace was worth ten million, but it was actually just over one million. The discrepancy was substantial, and Hazel's audacity was remarkable.

"I won't bother with the price list. I will take you up on the offer of 500,000," Samantha said.

The sales associate nodded. "Very well, Miss. Please wait while I prepare the paperwork."

With that, the sales associate left.

Soon after, the sales associate returned with a check and a sales receipt. Samantha quickly signed the documents, took the check, and left.

Just as Samantha walked out, Garrison entered the store.

He approached the sales associate who had assisted Samantha and said, "Please wrap up the diamond necklace that the woman just sold to you. I would like to purchase it." The sales associate was stunned.

"Certainly, sir."

After leaving the jewelry store, Samantha took a cab back to the Dean Residence.

The Dean Residence was quiet.

Finley had his phone clutched in his hand as he repeatedly called Samantha. However, all calls went unanswered. As Finley grew more frustrated, Elias continued to provoke him.

"Finley, you might as well stop

calling. Since Samantha isn't

answering, she has probably blocked you. Have you recently done something to upset her? Is that why she has blocked you?"

Finley was silent.

"Silence isn't a sin, you know."

Elias earnestly shot back, saying, "Finley, I am being honest with you. Tell me if you had an argument with Samantha."

"Be quiet!"

"Why are you hiding it? If you tell me, I can help analyze the situation for you."

Finley glared at Elias with a fierce look. Daphne, standing nearby, was unable to tolerate Elias' comments. She raised her hand and slapped Elias twice.

"Elias, Mr. Dean is already upset

because Mrs. Dean isn't answering his calls. How can you say Mrs. Dean has blocked Mr. Dean? Do you not realize your words only make Mr Dean more distressed?

Elias had only intended to lighten the mood and relieve Finley's anxiety. Was he in the wrong for doing that?

Feeling frustrated, Elias said, "Fine, if Ms. Stuart does not want me to say anything that might upset Finley, I will stop. However, with Samantha being uncontactable all day, do you think..."
