Chapter 249 Ocean
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with it." The shop attendant was puzzled by Janet's question.
Perhaps sensing that she had been a bit impolite just now by staring at Janet's ring, she waved her hands in dismissal and put on a smile. "I'm really sorry for staring at your ring just now, ma'am. I shouldn't have done that. I've only seen photos of that ring before. This is the first time I've seen it in real life. It is indeed mesmerizing."
Janet frowned. She couldn't understand what the shop attendant was talking about.
'This is just a fake blue diamond ring. Why is she so curious about it?' she wondered.
Upon noticing the confusion on Janet's face, the shop attendant asked hesitantly, "Don't you know the origin of that ring, ma'am?"
Janet glanced at Ethan subconsciously.
He was the one who gave her the ring. She didn't think that there was any interesting background story about a fake ring.
Thus, she shook her head and said, "I don't."
Suddenly, Ethan faked coughing.
"Ethan, are you okay? Is your throat sore?" Janet was worried about him, so she patted him on the back and handed him a glass of water. "Why are you suddenly coughing?" she asked.
'He was fine just now,' she thought.
The shop attendant noticed that Ethan had been coughing ever since she started talking. She wanted to ingratiate herself with him, so she said, "We have some cough medicine in the store.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Would you like some, sir?"
Ethan waved his hand, picked up the glass of water on the table, and took a sip.
He had been winking at the shop attendant, and he even faked several coughs, yet she still didn't seem to understand his hint.
The woman wasn't Ethan's employee, so she probably couldn't understand his hints.
Moreover, Ethan couldn't say anything to her in front of Janet, so he was getting more and more anxious.
The shop attendant took a look at Janet's ring again and adjusted her tone. "The blue diamond on your ring is called the 'Ocean'. It's the most expensive and most famous jewelry in our brand's history. It has an extensive history and high value. I heard that someone bought it at a high price a long time ago. Never did I imagine that I'd see the ring's owner here today. Since you have it, you must be a very important customer," the shop attendant explained respectfully.
Upon hearing that, Janet was stunned. After a moment of hesitation, she asked tentatively, "Are you sure this isn't just a fake?"
She couldn't believe that the blue diamond on her ring was the real "Ocean" that the shop attendant just told her about. 'How could Ethan afford the real one? We're poor!' she thought to herself.
Aside from that, Janet had seen several fakes that Ethan had gotten from his friends. Because of the development of counterfeiting technology, it was hard to tell that they were fakes.
But to her surprise, the shop attendant shook her head and smiled. "Ma'am, you must be kidding. I've been at this job for years, and I know our brand's most famous product all too well. I'm more than certain that your ring is the real deal. If you don't believe me, go ahead and fine a professional
jewelry appraiser to check it for you." After hearing the explanation, Janet was stunned. The shop attendant sounded so sure that the blue diamond on her ring was real.
Thinking back on Ethan's weird behavior; his odd winking and sudden burst of coughs; her eyes widened in shock. She whipped her head to stare at Ethan as a mountain of questions built up in her head.
