Chapter 35\u00a0<\/p>\n
That bracelet looked exactly the same as the one Sloane showed Vivian earlier. Even the patterns were all in the same spots.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It seemed Diana had already met Sloane.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Sloane had even given Diana this crystal bracelet, fully aware that it was fake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A mocking smile appeared on Vivian\u2019s lips, and her gaze turned cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noticing Vivian staring at the bracelet, Diana puffed up with pride.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cIsn\u2019t it pretty? My friend\u2019s daughter gave it to me. She was worried I wouldn\u2019t have a single decent piece of jewelry for the wedding. She didn\u2019t want me to be embarrassed on such a public day. That girl is so caring. If Logan weren\u2019t with you already, I would\u2019ve tried to set them up together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian let out a cold laugh, but said nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t tell Diana that the bracelet was a fake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sales assistant brought out many gold\u2013plated silver pieces for Diana to choose from. Diana browsed them with great interest and, without even asking Vivian\u2019s opinion, told the\u00a0<\/p>\n
sales assistant to pack them up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian simply stepped past Diana and glanced at the assistant. \u201cPack up the ones I chose\u00a0<\/p>\n
earlier.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana snapped, \u201cVivian! It\u2019s just for appearances. You\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Whitfield, I know you feel bad about the money. It\u2019s fine if you don\u2019t want to spend your money. I\u2019ll just have Logan come over and pay,\u201d Vivian cut in, taking out her phone as if she were about to call Logan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana immediately grabbed Vivian\u2019s hand. \u201cAlright, if you like them, I\u2019ll buy them for you. Why bother Logan while he\u2019s working?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reluctantly, she took out her wallet to pay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sales assistant took the bank card and hurried to pack up the pieces Vivian had selected. Then, she casually asked, \u201cAbout the gold\u2013plated silver pieces from earlier\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana said, \u201cI don\u2019t want them anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The assistant nodded and picked up the gold\u2013plated silver items.\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n

Diana hesitated for a moment, then picked up one of the gold\u2013plated silver bangles. \u201cWrap this one separately for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian knew exactly what Diana was thinking, but she didn\u2019t expose\u00a0<\/p>\n
her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It fitted them quite well. One gave a fake crystal bracelet, and the other one a fake gold\u00a0<\/p>\n
bracelet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was quite a fair exchange.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian took her gold jewelry from the sales assistant and left the store together with Diana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Whitfield, do you need me to drop you back at your friend\u2019s place?\u201d Vivian asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though Diana had no intention of going to Vivian\u2019s place anyway, she was still irritated by the question. \u201cYou don\u2019t want me to go stay with you that badly?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian smiled and didn\u2019t offer an explanation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s expression darkened as she said, \u201cEven if you invited me, I wouldn\u2019t want to go!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, she left in a huff.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian didn\u2019t stop her and drove back to the townhouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That very night, she received a message from Sloane.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, Vivian. Mrs. Whitfield also bought me a gold bracelet. I weighed it, and it\u2019s 3.5 ounces. Thank you, Vivian.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian laughed in anger at the message.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan truly was raised by Diana. Even their way of giving gifts was exactly the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sloane was really easy to please. A fake crystal bracelet and a fake gold bracelet were enough to make her head spin in delight, rushing to show off to Vivian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Vivian didn\u2019t reply, wouldn\u2019t that dampen Sloane\u2019s excitement?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian immediately typed back a message.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo need to thank me. But you should raise your standards. After all, \u201clow\u2013end goods\u201d will just affect your quality of life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
