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.
The thought of calling Brayan flashed through his mind.
“I was sick, wasn’t I?”
He couldn’t help but curse himself.
Even though Jennifer was legally Brayan’s wife, so what.
Brayan didn’t like her again.

Maybe Brayan is now having a hot argument with Catalina!
Ronan shook his head, pretending he didn’t see.
Anyway, Jennifer got herself drunk, it’s not like he forced her to drink, so he
not responsible.
Ronan stepped away from the drunk Jennifer.
Came back again.
He had a grim expression on his face as he helped Jennifer up.
Jennifer was lighter than he had imagined, and it wasn’t difficult to support her.
“You’re just lucky to have met me. seriously… Why am I so nosy and always getting involved in other people’s business!”
Ronan was muttering to himself as he helped Jennifer out of the bar.
His attention was all on Jennifer. he didn’t notice that in the dimly lit corner of the bar. Jamie had already stood up when Jennifer passed
out.
Jamie watched helplessly as Ronan took Jennifer away, then he took out his phone and reported to Brayan.
“Follow me.”
Brayan gave Jamie such instructions.
Ronan drove there, but he had been drinking, so he called a designated driver for the way back.
He knew where Jennifer lives now, so he had the designated driver drive the car to Sanford Street.

While helping Jennifer, Ronan dug out the keys from Jennifer’s bag and opened the door to walk in.
He was originally planning to “throw Jennifer on the bed and leave.”
Ronan turned on the bedroom light and got Jennifer to lie down on the bed.
After hesitating for a moment, I helped Jennifer take off her shoes.
This bedroom wasn’t very big, with most of the space taken up by books.
These days there are still people who love reading physical books, which surprised Ronan a lot.
I casually flipped through it, and it’s all about design.
“Was it really necessary to work so hard?”
Ronan muttered to himself.
He knew Jennifer has opened her own jewelry design studio now.
But he thought Jennifer was just pretending, trying to show off to Brayan that she was as excellent as Catalina, imitating Catalina.
However…
Ronan sat down in front of Jennifer’s desk.
