Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 41

“The diamond is real, but the ring is not the work of Master Michaela’s. It’s just a knockoff, and it’s worth...”

The few women around Amber were whispering to one another in a sarcastic tone.

Amber cared only about her pride. It was such a humiliating thing, and she couldn’t feel more ashamed sitting there, wishing that she could find somewhere to hide.

But Hanna wouldn’t let her off.

“There is a wide variety of jewelry, and I believe you must have worn many fine jewels before. Besides, it’s totally normal for one to be mistaken.” Hanna tried to give a way out for Amber.

Meanwhile, the other women started to make excuses for Amber too.

Blushing, Amber stared blankly at Hanna and managed to regain some pride. “...Yeah, I was mistaken! I’m so sorry!”

Hanna smirked. This was what she wanted to do: having a dig at Amber while she had to hold back her anger and be grateful to her!

The women were putting on a wonderful show, while Claudia was watching them silently in the corner like an audience member.

However, she had a new understanding of Hanna now.

Kim was right. This woman was not a kind person either.

She appeared quiet and calm, but actually she was shrewd and calculating.

The party lasted for several hours, and the ladies drank and talked, but Claudia took no part in it. She just hoped that time could pass more quickly, so that this meaningless party would end as soon as possible

It was dark and dull outside. The thunder was rumbling, and the storm would break at any time.

At this point, Hanna got a phone call asking her to go back to town to handle something urgent in business.

Before she got up, Hanna looked at Claudia. “Shall we go back together?”

After all, the two had come together.

Hanna cast a glance of the weather outside and said, “It seems that it’s going to rain. Let’s go back as soon as possible!”

The women agreed. Claudia took her bag and rose to her feet, but meanwhile, Amber, who was next to her, said something at this moment.

“Can you stay for a while, Claudia? I want to tell you something in private.”

Claudia hesitated, because she knew very well that there was nothing she wanted to tell Amber!

Hanna could see Claudia’s indecision and advised, “The weather is terrible now, maybe another time.”

Amber gave a sneer, walked up to Claudia and took her arm affectionately, “I really have something important to tell you! When we’re done, I’ll drive you home, Claudia.”

Now that Amber offered to send Claudia home in front of so many people, Claudia could only agree.

Hanna was anxious before she left. She asked again, “Are you really OK alone with her?”

Claudia shook her head with a smile. Even if Amber and she had been on bad terms with each other since childhood, Claudia still believed that Amber would drive her home.

However, Claudia’s confidence in Amber resulted in major disappointment.

When Hanna left, the other women also left gradually and went back to town in groups. When only Claudia and Amber were left, Claudia stared at the woman before her and asked in sign language, “So, what is it?”

Amber read sign language. Her eyes fixed on Claudia, she gave a cold smile and said slowly, “So what is it? Let me think about it...”

Amber drawled deliberately while throwing a glance at the floor-to-ceiling window out of the corner of her eye

Dark clouds were gathering in the sky out of the window. The lightning flashed and lit the spacious room while the rumbling thunder reached the women in the box.
