Chapter 129
Inside was a raw gemstone.
But not the raw ruby with a heart–shaped crack.
Jennifer froze.
She felt like something was off, so she called Brayan before reaching out to Camryn Mining.
The phone rang for a while before it was answered.
“Hey, Brayan…”
“Who
changed your mind?”
On the phone, Brayan’s voice sounded wide awake, no trace of sleepiness.
“You can still come back now.”
This made Jennifer annoyed, but she didn’t want to change the subject.
“I heard from someone at Camryn Mining that you bought the gemstones I had reserved…”
“Yeah.”
Brayan only answered with one word.
Jennifer was freaking out.
“They said you bought it for me.”

There was a long silence on the other end of the line, finally, Jennifer heard Brayan’s voice.
It was a laughter.
“Catalina also had her eye on that rough gemstone.”
When Jennifer heard Brayan say this, it was like a bolt from the blue in her mind.
“It was me who noticed it first…”
“But you didn’t buy.”
“But I had already made up my mind.”
“So what?”
Brayan had Jennifer speechless.
In the old house, he was lying on the bed, talking to Jennifer on the phone, and glanced at the antique clock on the bedroom wall.
It’s already past midnight.
It’s not Jennifer’s birthday anymore.
“Jennifer, now that you have opened a studio, you are the boss. Consider this rough stone as a lesson from me. There is no first come, first served in the market, no fairness, no logic, only competition. Don’t be so naive.
Brayan’s voice returned to its usual indifference.
Jennifer sat in the car with no windows open, her fingers holding the phone were freezing cold.
“And I also gave you compensation.”

Brayan finished speaking and hung up the phone.
The word “compensation” made Jennifer suddenly wake up.
Originally, Brayan put so much effort into celebrating her birthday, not because of pressure from her grandfather, nor because he remembered their past.
It’s not because of the money, but because Brayan took away the rough stone she had her eye on.
Gave it to Catalina.
“Compensation…”
Jennifer gripped the steering wheel tightly, the veins on the back of her hands standing out.
Nexford, a street full of bars.
When Ronan walked out of the room, he never expected to see Jennifer here.
Jennifer looked like she had a lot to drink and was completely wasted.
If she wasn’t lying on the sofa but instead leaning on the table, he wouldn’t have noticed at all.
