CHAPTER 240

Chapter 240: Regrets

It was impossible! How could a diamond like this be the fake one?

“Are you kidding me? Are you trying to scam me?” Avery yelled in anger.

“I’m telling you the truth, miss. We don’t scam here. Whoever gave you that knows it’s not the real diamond because no one can sell or buy that for even twenty million dollars. I’m only buying it from you. because I was fascinated by it but no one will do it. You will never get a buyer for it,” he stated.

Avery took her diamond from him and rushed out of the store. It was impossible! There was no way the diamond would be fake. The manager must be trying to extort money from her.

So, she decided to try her grandfather’s friend. Her grandfather’s friend would definitely do her well and he would never lie to her.

She should have thought of it initially instead of wasting her time.

She soon arrived at Lucy’s friend’s store. Avery didn’t know his name but she does refer to him as grandpa too.

There were days when Avery usually visited him. In fact, he gifted her a pair of diamond earrings for her tenth birthday. But recently, she had been too busy to even remember him. Not even when she was disturbed by the sudden marriage and the trouble from Smith.

Avery entered the store and saw him handling one of the chains. She hesitated.

Her grandfather’s friends have always lived a meek life. He had just one salesperson and he didn’t plan on expanding it. Though, he was slowly becoming popular as his diamonds have been entering auctions.

He looked up, “welcome. How may I help you?”

Avery smiled. “It’s Avery Robinson.”

Avery,” he repeated as if tasting the sound of it. Then, his straight face evolved into a nice smile. “Avery, the daughter of Lucy! My friend?”

Avery nodded briefly and moved closer.

Meanwhile, his son was uninterested in what he was doing. His son had a company in France and has been living there. Only his grandchildren visit him in Jacksonville every Christmas.

Though, unlike Emma, his son got married late and his grandchildren were still very young.

“It has been a long time. Why have you and your grandfather deserted me?” He joked.” Though, he was here a few days ago.”

Avery laughed. “I’m so sorry. I got caught up with work, I actually thought I would see you at my grandfather’s birthday party.”

“Oh, yes. I’m really sorry about that. I was out of the city already. I visited my grandchildren and took ill. My son decided to have me treated before I return.” He explained and gestured at the chair in front of him.

Avery smiled and sat. “How do you feel now?”

“Very much better. Is there anything I can get you?”

Avery shook her head quickly.” No, don’t bother. I had something before coming but I wanted you to see this,” she brought out the blue diamond.

The man regarded it for a moment before he took it from Avery. ” Are you worried it might be fake? Your

father was also here to check if a watch was fake.”

Avery remembered that Grey presented a watch as Lucy’s gift but it was disregarded. Could it have been. what Lucy came to check?

“Was it Patek Philippe stainless steel?”

The man nodded briefly, as he brought out his magnifying glass to examine the diamond. “It is and it was the real one. And the funniest thing is that the price has skyrocketed and is currently 15 million dollars.”

Avery’s eyes went wide in shock. So, Grey was right. He won a lottery and still had to buy the real thing for her grandfather, despite how harsh everyone was to him.

The man got up and retrieved a book where there was an image of the diamond.

“It’s really confusing. Whoever imitated this diamond ring did a great job but it’s fake,” he dropped the bombshell.

Avery blinked once, then twice.” Is it fake?”

The man nodded briefly. “It is. Who gave you this?”

Avery looked away. “I got it for my birthday,” she responded, as hot anger rushed into her.

Chris lied to her. How could he lie that it was real when it was fake? She even had to wear it at a party, thinking it was real.

“Well, whoever gave this fake thing for a birthday gift is an idiot.”

Avery let out a deep breath. “I need to leave now, I will come around some other time,” she took the ring

and stood.

The man smiled. “Tell Lucy a hi for me.”

Avery hesitated. She didn’t know if she was supposed to tell him that her grandfather was sick. She decided against it quickly. “Alright.”

She walked out of the store and entered the car. She thought Chris was a real man. He had always shown he had the money but Avery was wrong. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

And she regretted all she had ever done with him. Chris was a useless person. What kind of a man gives a lady a fake gift? Chris only showed how much of a fool he was.
