Chapter 485 I Robbed Them With Style and Taste
Stole them? Has the serious? Ste waspletely speechless
Marie exined, “It <b>was </b>from one of those shady groups. I tried toy from them, but they scammed me–tried to extort more money. Totally shameless.”
Anyway, getting her hands on those stones had taken quite a bit of ellort
If they hadn’t been so pretty, she wouldn’t <b>have </b>even given them a second nce, But those guys had the nerve to try and
Thinking about that whole ordeal still made Marie mad.
Ste’s eyelid twitched <b>hard</b>. “So you just stole them?”
Marie shrugged. “C’mon, I paid for them.”
Well, she paid the actual value of the stones–there was no way she’d pay the extra they tried to scam out of her.
“Alright,e on,e on, let’s put this on you. I handpicked every material in this ne. Isn’t it pretty?”
Marie said with feal feeling
All these years without hearing Ste called her <b>as </b><b>a </b>sister, she <b>hadn’t </b>gotten used to it at all.
Even though they were grown now,
Ste still had that baby–faced roundness; she hadn’t changed much since she was little. Marie couldn’t help but see the child
version of her.
Looking at that adorable little face, Marie’s heart softened again.
Back in <b>school</b>, no matter how mad she was–one look at that face and she’d calm right down.
Now that she was older, those eyes were still just as sweet.
“The raw gemstones were cut by a professional. And I matched all the essories myself.”
Ste nodded. “Yeah<b>, </b>it’s beautiful-
The ne’s design really was unique–especially those stones.
“What kind of stone is this?” she asked.
Marie shrugged “No idea. Just looked pretty, so I stole–wait, no–bought it.”
“Don’t worry, it’s been tested. Totally harmless.”
As she spoke, she started rummaging through the pile on the bed, grabbing a dress and holding it up alongside the ne, measuring everything against Ste’s frame. “Look at my taste–it’s amazing, right?”
Ste went quiet.
<b>She </b>nced at the ne in Marie’s hand. Yeah… the taste really was amazing
