Chapter 1078 A Gift From Rita

The pair arrived at the jewelry store. Even though it was located on the most bustling street, it was decorated

plainly. The mahogany door revealed a hint of elegance.

Nicole helped Rita ascend the stairs. The moment the duo came into view, the owner enthusiastically greeted them.

"What brings you here, Old Mrs. Gould? It's been a while!" The owner flattered them with a wide smile on his face.

Rita pulled Nicole to the counter and introduced her to the owner, "I remember you telling me that you have a

rainbow bracelet in your store. This is my granddaughter. She's getting married soon, so I brought her here to see

the bracelet. I'll buy it if she likes it."

The owner glanced at Nicole before turning his attention to Rita and smiled. "This must be Miss Nicole. I was told

she's marrying a Gardner, isn't she? The entire country knows about the news."

"Enough talk. Let us have a look at the bracelet. You have a deal if she likes it." Even though Rita was old, she still

behaved like a child.

The owner nodded before turning around to reach for his safe box. He took out a small box from the back of the

safe box and presented it to Rita before explaining, "This is a rare bracelet. Therefore, it's slightly more expensive

than the other goods."

Rita glared at him before replying, "What are you implying? Do you think I can't afford it?"

He quickly shook his head upon hearing that. "I don't, Old Mrs. Gould. Nobody will ever doubt your spending power.

However, the bracelet is indeed a little pricier than my other goods. Many customers were interested in this piece

of jewelry, but they thought the bracelet wasn't worth this much. Thus, they ended up leaving without purchasing

it."

Rita took the box and opened it before presenting it to Nicole, thereafter asking for her opinion. "Take a look at this,

Nicole. What do you think?"

Nicole looked down at the box. She had doubts when she listened to the store owner's explanation before seeing

the bracelet herself. Now that she had the opportunity, she found that the bracelet was made of seven natural

gemstones.

Moreover, a jadeite cabochon shining in brilliant green was mounted in the center, which explained its price. Each

gemstone on the bracelet cost a fortune, not to mention there were seven on the bracelet. Besides, the stones

were polished to the same size. A platinum chain carved with antique patterns connected them all.

It wasn't extravagant but was very eye-catching. Everyone would fall for it at first glance.

"You're right. It's not an easy task to polish the gemstones into the same size and without inclusions," Nicole

remarked. After working in the fashion industry for years, she was no stranger to jewelry. She considered the

bracelet in her palm to be among the top jewelry she ever came across.

"All right. We'll take this one. I always knew there was such a bracelet in the store, and I thought it would suit you. I

can't wait to see you wearing it during your wedding." As Nicole had shown interest in the bracelet, Rita handed her

card over to the store owner without hesitation.

Since she was so ready to pay, the owner took the card and checked it out on the POS machine. She didn't even

ask about the price!

After Rita paid for the bracelet, she put the bracelet around Nicole's wrist. She studied the bracelet through her

narrowed eyes and was pleased by what she saw. "The bracelet sets off your ivory skin. I'm not bragging, but you

can always count on my taste."

Nicole accepted Rita's kind gesture without resistance as the elderly woman put the bracelet around Nicole's wrist.

The pair left after Rita paid for the bracelet. Tilting her head, Nicole studied the joyful expression on Rita's face

before asking in a soft voice, "Old Mrs. Gould, did you come all this way only to buy the bracelet for me?"

Rita nodded. "That's right. I've been thinking about buying it for you since the owner told me about the bracelet.

Consider it as a wedding gift from me."

Nicole said nothing more. Instead, she flashed Rita a grateful smile. "Thank you, Old Mrs. Gould."

The two made small talk as they walked over to the car when a group of people showed up from nowhere. Before

the duo could react, the men already lunged at Nicole.
