Substitute Bride's Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 75: Object of Love

As soon as she entered the office, Lisa noticed that many people were sizing her up.

“Aiyo, Mrs. Mo who looks down on diamonds is here! Hurry up and show us what your husband bought you.” The short-haired woman stared at Lisa like a crow-eyed chicken.

Smiling at the woman, Lisa pretended to casually lift up her hair to reveal the delicate jade bracelet on her wrist. She greeted everyone, “Good morning!”

Lisa and the short-haired woman, one standing and one sitting, one steady and one anxious, the difference was obvious.

“My God! Lisa, is this the gift your husband gave you? What a beautiful jade bracelet!” A colleague took the lead to walk to Lisa’s side and exclaimed at the jade bracelet.

Since ancient times, gold and jade had been passed down. The sounds of gold and jade jewellery was enough to show one’s beauty. Imagine if a beautiful woman was wearing a jade bracelet and dancing gracefully in front of you, how graceful, charming, and beautiful would that be?

Using a jade bracelet as a object of love also expressed the implicit and passionate possessiveness of lovers.

Therefore, whether it was for sale or inheritance, the value of a jade bracelet was much higher than a diamond.

Lisa nodded to the person who came and said with a smile, “Yes, I think it’s very beautiful too.”

This colleague did not have any friction with Lisa. She was considered to be a ‘non-contact’ in the company. Usually, she would only focus on her performance at work, so Lisa had a good impression of her.

Seeing that someone had spoken, others also walked over and surrounded Lisa.

“Lisa, your bracelet looks so expensive! Was it passed down from your husband’s family?” The female colleague wanted to touch it, but after thinking about it, she did not dare to.

Lisa shook her head. “I’m not sure. He gave it to me when we got married.”

“I heard that some very good jade is priceless. Your jade bracelet looks so grand. How much does it cost?” The person who spoke was actually a male colleague. He was also attracted by the jade bracelet on Lisa’s hand.

Lisa rolled her eyes, but she did not tell him about her visit to the pawn shop. She only said, “I’m not sure about the price.”

Amidst the waves of praise, a discordant voice was heard.

“Not sure about the price? It couldn’t be fake, right?”

Lisa looked up and saw that it was Krystal, who was passing by the office door.

Krystal had not seen Lisa’s bracelet, but she had heard yesterday that Lisa was going to bring her wedding gift from her husband to the company. So, she had come early in the morning to see Lisa make a fool of herself.

When the crowd saw Krystal, they could not help but silently make way for her.

It was not that Krystal was very powerful, but that she had a powerful uncle backing her up. In order not to be bullied by the leaders, not many people in the company were willing to offend her. Krystal, on the other hand, did not have any self-awareness. She put on the airs of a leader in the company every day.

Lisa had already fallen out with Krystal a long time ago. When she saw her coming, her smiling face instantly disappeared. She even wanted to turn around and leave. Arguing with Krystal was a little degrading.

“Why are you leaving? Did you specially get a fake to show off to everyone?” Krystal paused for a moment, then used an even harsher voice to say, “The company is for you guys work, not for you guys to show off! If you want to show off, you can show off your achievements.”

As she said this, Krystal used a sharp gaze to sweep across the people surrounding Lisa, and even glared at the people who praised Lisa’s beautiful bracelet.

However, these words almost made Lisa laugh. Krystal was someone who abused her authority to bully employees.

“Supervisor Chen, it’s not time for work yet. It’s my freedom to talk to my colleagues,” Lisa retracted her smile and said calmly.

Krystal was shocked and subconsciously glanced at the clock. Sure enough, it was 7:52 am. It was not time for work yet. But who was Krystal? How could she admit defeat in front of Lisa? “I’m just reminding you guys not to do useless things. Showing off with fake goods will make people laugh their heads off.”

Lisa’s gaze on Krystal gradually darkened. She had learned her lesson. She was not as brainless as before.

“Supervisor Chen, you keep saying that my bracelet is fake. Are you an expert in appraising?” Lisa’s tone was sarcastic.

Krystal smiled contemptuously and said to Lisa, “Why don’t you show it to me?”

She didn’t believe that Lisa could show her anything good. How could Lisa’s thug husband be willing to spend money on her?

As Krystal thought about this, the scene of the man holding an umbrella for Lisa flashed across her mind. Although Lisa called that man her husband, Krystal didn’t believe that such a good-looking man was the rumoured thug. Lisa must have hired someone to put on an act.
