Lila smiled happily. "I knew you had the best taste! She will definitely love anything you pick!"
Both were satisfied. Georgia turned to the sales manager with a smile and said, "I'll take this pendant. Could you wrap it up for me?"
"Certainly! Just one moment please!"
Just then, a sharp, haughty voice suddenly cut through the air:
"Wait! That pearl pendant is mine!"
No sooner had Gemma's voice rung out than a platinum card was thrust under the sales manager's nose.
When the sales manager recognized the newcomer as none other than Gemma, Journ City's beloved celebrity, she couldn't contain her excitement.
After the initial excitement faded, the sales manager, with a hint of embarrassment, said, "We sincerely apologize, Miss Kirkland. This pendant is a nationwide limited edition, and we only have one in stock. Since this young lady has already chosen it, I'm afraid we can't sell it to you. Please feel free to browse our other exquisite pieces instead."
Before Gemma could speak, Cora cut in sharply, "So what if she picked it out? Has she paid for it? If not, then it's not hers!"
"Besides, what are you even looking at? Just look at her, does she look like someone who could afford such luxury jewelry?"
Hearing Cora's words, Lila's fiery temper finally erupted.
She snapped, "Cora, who the hell do you think you're looking down on? You snobbish little brat! Don't think a mere hundred-thousand pendant is out of our reach. We could easily afford something even pricier!"
"Am I wrong? Georgia is so broke that she doesn't even have a roof over her head, living with her dad in some tiny apartment in the slums. And she still dares to show her face in a high-end place like this and make a spectacle of herself? What a pathetic loser!"
"Cora, who the hell are you talking about? So what if she lives in the slums? Even if she's dirt poor, at least she's not like your shameless family—a bunch of property-snatching ingrates!"
Cora snapped, "Who the hell are you calling an ingrate? Say that one more time and see what happens!"
She was about to lunge at Lila when Gemma grabbed her arm, stopping her just in time.
"Cora, just let it go. It's beneath us to argue with them," Gemma said with a dismissive wave.
She cast a disdainful glance at Georgia, then turned to the sales manager and declared, "This pendant is 225 thousand dollars, right? If you sell it to her, you'll only make a couple thousand in commission. Here's the deal... I'll pay double for it, and you can keep all the extra as your bonus!"
Hearing this, the sales manager's eyes lit up with dollar signs. She turned to Georgia and said, "Miss Murray, Miss Gemma is willing to pay double the price, would you perhaps consider letting it go?"
Georgia knew full well Gemma was deliberately snatching the item she'd picked out. But with the price doubled, how could Georgia possibly compete? Even if she sold everything she owned, there was no way she could scrape together that kind of money.
Lila's wallet twinged at the sight of the pendant. A piece pushing six figures was one thing, but with the price instantly doubled, she wasn't about to be taken for a fool.
Seeing them both fall silent, Gemma's face lit up with smug satisfaction.
With a smug smirk, Gemma turned to the sales manager and snapped, "See that? Get it wrapped for me now!"
Right in front of the defeated Georgia and Lila, Gemma smugly swiped her card for a whopping 450 thousand dollars, triumphantly snatching the pearl pendant right out from under Georgia's nose.
Outside the jewelry store, Cora asked, puzzled, "Gemma, why did you pay double for that pearl?"
Gemma rolled her eyes at Cora. "You idiot! Elsie is the only one in the Rathbone family who ever treated Georgia well, so of course Georgia knows exactly what that old hag likes!"
Cora's eyes lit up with sudden understanding as she gave Gemma a big thumbs-up.
"No wonder! That's pure genius, Gemma!"
"This is my first official visit to the Rathbone mansion as Louis's fiancée. I have to do whatever it takes to win Elsie's favor!"
Both were satisfied. Georgia turned to the sales manager with a smile and said, "I'll take this pendant. Could you wrap it up for me?"
"Certainly! Just one moment please!"
