Chapter 684: Severing Ties

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

How much did you say it costs?! Brian asked in disbelief, his voice about to crack.

2.8 million dollars, Sir, Jane repeated, deliberately slowing down her speech to quote the price carefully.

How is that possible?! It its just a vase. How can it be so expensive?! Brian yelled hysterically, almost on the verge of breaking down.

If the vase was sold at a less prestigious place, he might have thought it was only worth a couple dozen dollars. But since it was placed in a store like the Heavenly Pavilion, where cheap goods didnt exist, Brian had braced himself and raised his expected price to about $150,000.

Thus, he gritted his teeth and took out his bank card with a balance of one million, thinking that it should be more than enough.

But to his surprise, the vase had a staggering price tag of $2.8 million! The money he had was less than half of the vases price!

How could he afford to compensate for it?

He didnt have that much money.

With shock written all over her face, Vanessa questioned aggressively, Are you people trying to extort us? Its just a stupid vase. How can it be so expensive? Are you deliberately raising the price because you saw that we agreed to compensate for it? Im telling you. I wont tolerate such behavior! Im going to sue you! Dont think that were pushovers!

Facing her harsh voice and threats, Jane kept a straight face and said calmly, Miss, the prices of the items in our store are all marked very clearly. The price of this Ming Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain vase is also clearly indicated on the display stand. You may take a look at it yourself.

In addition, the price of an antique is not determined by its actual use but by its age, craftsmans.h.i.+p, and collection value. This Ming Dynasty vase has been in our store for some time, and no one has ever said that its not worth the price. We also have an appraisal certificate issued by the authorities, and you may also bring the broken pieces away for authentication later. This should prove that what you just broke is indeed a precious Ming Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain vase.

The Heavenly Pavilion has always marked our prices very clearly, and we would never cheat anyone. We are definitely trustworthy, and we will absolutely never commit deliberate exhortation.

Jane was neither servile nor overbearing during her speech, and she also managed to refute Vannessas accusatory remarks about the Heavenly Pavilion extorting them.

Some guests gathered around them also spoke up in agreement. Indeed, the porcelain vase has been here for about half a month. My father used to come here every day to look at it, and he really wanted to buy it. But unfortunately, it was too expensive, so my father was hesitant about it. If he hears that this vase was broken, hell probably be so upset that he wont be able to eat

Its a precious porcelain vase from the Ming Dynasty and extremely valuable, so its reasonable for it to be priced at 2.8 million dollars. I can also vouch that the vase has always been sold at this price. The Heavenly Pavilion didnt deliberately increase the price to extort you!

If a vase from the Ming Dynasty were sold for only a few hundred thousand dollars, it would definitely be a crazy sale. Anyone selling it at this price, please give me a dozen of them. Ill take everything!

People spoke up one after another.

Vanessas face suddenly flushed red. She really didnt know the value of these antiques.

She only knew that the luxury goods such as jewelry and gemstones were expensive. She hadnt expected that an una.s.suming vase she didnt even take a liking to was worth so much money.

Hmph, isnt it just a few million? My boyfriend is worth hundreds of millions. He can easily afford to pay for it. Vanessa rolled her eyes at the people around her with disdain.

She turned her head and said to Brian, Honey, you must have taken the wrong card just now. The one million in this card should be the spending money for me, right? Give me this card and quickly take out your other card with a large balance! Hmph, its merely a few million. Its peanuts to you!

Then Vanessa hurriedly s.n.a.t.c.hed that bank card from Janes hand and held it tightly with sweet bliss written all over her face.

A few days ago, she had coquettishly asked Brian for some spending money after they were intimate with each other. He had agreed to give her a card with a million for her to spend as she pleased. She thought that he was trying to give her a surprise by hiding it from her even though he had already prepared it.

Vanessa indulged in her thoughts happily.

Charlotte couldnt contain her amus.e.m.e.nt any longer and burst into laughter.

She wasnt trying to be rude, but rather, Brians current expression was just too hilarious. It was almost as if he was full of resentment as he stared at Vanessa gripping the card tightly in her hand, wis.h.i.+ng he could s.n.a.t.c.h it from her right away.

But Vanessa was still obliviously showing off Brians wealth. It was really funny!

Hearing Charlottes laughter, Vanessa immediately rebuked in anger, Charlotte Carter, why are you laughing? My boyfriend can casually give me a million as spending money. Can yours do the same? Im afraid your penniless boyfriend wont even give you a thousand, huh?

Charlotte had a hard time holding in her laughter before saying, Haha, you should ask your boyfriend if the money in this card is for your spending money or not. Im afraid its all the money your boyfriend has. Youd better hurry up and return it to him. Otherwise, hell eat you up immediately. Haha!

Vanessa was further enraged. She turned to complain to Brian, Honey, look at her! She even said that the money in this card is everything you have. How can she insult you like that? You obviously have at least a few hundred million in your card. How can you possibly only have a million?!

Brian gritted his teeth and ordered, Give me the card!

His eyes were menacing, and he wished he could kill the stupid Vanessa on the spot.

Huh? Honey, what whats wrong with you? Vanessa finally discovered something amiss with Brians expression. He was glaring at her like she was an enemy, making her frightened.

Honey what whats gotten into you? I Im your precious sweetheart! Vanessa said carefully.

My sweet bulls.h.i.+t! Return the card to me immediately! Brian could no longer contain his anger. He cursed at her and grabbed the card back from her by force.

Vanessa was still stunned and bewildered.

Brian said, This woman is the one who broke the vase. If you want compensation, get her to pay for it! I have nothing to do with this woman from now on. You dont have to let me know regardless of what happens to her!

With that, Brian glowered at Vanessa before turning around to leave.

He actually broke up with Vanessa and severed ties with her at this juncture!

Everyone was stunned.

Meanwhile, Vanessas jaw dropped, and she was completely dumbstruck, unable to process what was going on!
