Chapter 499

“What kind of jewelry are you looking for, Miss? Necklaces, earrings, rings, or bracelets?” All of the
salespeople had gone through intensive training, and before Stella could react, she heard the
saleswoman going on about the various classic styles as if reciting a textbook.

However, she soon noticed that the saleswoman kept stealing furtive glances at Weston and
suppressing the wave of emotions that she was clearly feeling. Many of the saleswomen were young
ladies with a keen eye for luxury goods. Being immersed in the luxury goods industry, she could tell at
a glance that Weston was decked out in opulence from head to toe.

Many other salespersons were also guessing who Weston was. Many people knew about Weston
Ford. As long as they paid attention to finance or entertainment news, they would’ve heard of the heir
of the Ford family, whose wealth was comparable to that of small nations. Based on people who
interviewed him in the past, he was apparently more handsome than many popular celebrities. It was
just that the media seldom exposed his face.

As such, although many had heard about him, they could not recognize him. They simply thought that
Weston was some model or celebrity.

After a round of discussion, no one could arrive at a firm conclusion. “Could he be a celebrity from
overseas?” “Possibly. A man of his looks couldn’t possibly remain under the radar!” “He’s probably of
mixed blood. He’s so handsome! His features are so exquisite, and he looks young… probably under
30?”

“Who’s the woman next to him? Is he married?”

“For all you know, they’re here to buy rings… “Such handsome men are either already attached,
married, or don’t fancy women, to begin with…”



The women whispered amongst themselves but because the store was relatively empty, the silence
amplified their voices.

Stella glanced at Weston.

He remained calm and composed, seemingly completely unaffected by the voices. It wasn’t a surprise,
however, given that someone like Weston had always been the center of attention



Even in the middle of a large crowd, everyone’s gaze would involuntarily be drawn to him.

He should be used to being the talk of the town.

Stella suddenly remembered her schooling days when she could only see Weston from afar. He was
always the brightest star in the night sky, and probably never realized that she was also amongst the
crowd, looking at him.

On the other hand, she was a speck of dust among the sea of uncountable stars in the universe who
looked up to him.

Weston was indeed unaffected by what the salespeople were talking about him.

He put his arms around Stella’s shoulder and walked to the innermost display cabinet. He looked at the
velvet box in the safe and asked, “Do you like this one?”

Stella’s gaze followed his as it landed in the middle of the display cabinet. It was a pair of silver-colored
platinum rings. The difference between the thickness of the two rings was vast; the thinner one was set
with a pink diamond in exquisite yet simple details. It was designed for a woman and looked nothing
less than stunning.



Stella’s eyes immediately lit up. The saleswoman stepped forward immediately and smiled as she
retrieved the ring “You have an exquisite taste, sir. This is our latest piece, the result of years-long
craftsmanship from our famous designer. It’s a limited edition, one design per ring item, representing
your one and only love…”

Stella didn’t care much for the saleswoman’s grandiloquent talk, but as a buyer, she found the ring very
beautiful indeed.

However, she didn’t want a diamond ring.

She looked at the price tag, which was as outrageous as she had expected. “I don’t really like it,” Stella
said as she placed it back.
