Chapter 6 Give You The World
She had really had enough!
She thought that after Jonathan disappeared for three years, he would return having rid himself of all his bad habits. But to her surprise, after three years, he had only gotten worse!
“Do you think I'm lying?” Jonathan raised an eyebrow, “Do you think I can't afford to give you a gift worth a billion, and I'm just trying to make myself look good?”
“Or what?”
Josephine's face darkened even more.
“Ha!”
Jonathan let out a scoff, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. “Josephine,” he said, “you still don't understand me. We've been married for four years, and I've never once lied to you or deceived you! Forget a mere gift of a billion. Even if you wanted the world, why wouldn't it be possible? I can give it to you anytime!”
He's gone mad!
Jonathan has truly gone mad!
This was what everyone present had in mind.
Not only has he gone mad, but he's completely lost his mind!
He's delusional!
He certainly talks big, even talking about gifting her the whole world.
How does a man who married into his wife's family have the audacity to say such a thing?
How shameless!
“Jonathan, just leave. I don't want to see you!” Josephine shooed Jonathan away as if he were an annoying fly. “I don't even want to exchange another word with you! Every word I speak with you makes me feel sick!”
“It seems that you still don't believe me!” Jonathan shook his head, presenting the necklace wrapped in a plastic bag to Josephine. “You don't want this necklace?”
“I don't want it!”
With a swift wave of her hand, Josephine flung the necklace away.
With a loud thud, the necklace flew straight out the door, landing on the ground!
“Jonathan, I advise you to leave. Josephine has already told you to get lost. What's the point of you staying here?” Ysobel took this opportunity to add insult to injury.
“Exactly, hurry up and scram. Don't embarrass yourself here!”
“What on earth? I really don't know what Josephine saw in him in the first place!”
The others threw endless sarcastic remarks and scathing comments at Jonathan.
However, he couldn't care less.
They were just a few flies to him, so why would he mind them?
Just then, a sudden exclamation rang out from outside the restaurant door. “Royal Amethyst? Am I seeing this right? Is this Royal Amethyst?”
“Impossible, right? Isn't the Royal Amethyst embedded in the North Bera's crown? How could it possibly appear in Jadeborough?”
“Indeed, I could never be mistaken. This is the Royal Amethyst!”
Immediately after, the restaurant door was pushed open, and an elderly man dressed in a black robe, his hair meticulously combed, stepped into the living room.
Following him was a middle-aged man dressed in a suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
“Excuse me, whose necklace is this?” The moment the old man walked in, he held up the necklace in his hand.
“It's mine!”
Jonathan spoke casually.
“It's yours?” An excited glint flashed in the old man's eyes as he hurriedly approached Jonathan. “May I ask, where did this necklace come from? Where did you get this Royal Amethyst?”
“Do you know about Royal Amethyst?” Jonathan was somewhat surprised.
“Of course!”
The old man exclaimed excitedly, “Several years ago, I was granted an audience with the king of North Bera. I personally witnessed the majestic presence of this Royal Amethyst. However, last month, when North Bera was annihilated by Asura, it was only when we were tallying the spoils of war that we discovered the gemstone from the crown had vanished into thin air! On the black market, someone has already offered two billion but still can't buy it! How did it end up in your hands?”
Two billion?
The moment the crowd heard this number, they instantly gasped in surprise.
This shabby necklace is worth two billion?
Are you crazy?
“It's just a lucky find.” Jonathan didn't bother to elaborate further.
“I'm willing to offer two billion. Are you willing to sell?” The old man clearly noticed that Jonathan was reluctant to explain further, so he naturally didn't ask more!
As long as Jonathan was willing to sell him this Royal Amethyst gemstone, he didn't care where it came from.
“It's not for sale!”
Jonathan directly refused without hesitation.
“Two billion and one hundred million!” The old man increased the price instantly.
“I've said it. It's not for sale!” Jonathan's brows furrowed slightly. “This is the birthday gift I got for my wife!”
“Three billion!”
The old man once again offered while extending three fingers!
“It's not for sale! I wouldn't sell it even for ten billion!”
Jonathan didn't even spare him a glance.
Meanwhile, everyone else present was utterly astounded!
