Billionire 88 Chapter 88 A Trap Set for Her in a five-person company, Rose immediately arranged for the release of a job recruitment notice. Meanwhile, across the street in the office building facing Century Tower, Jamie sat in his office.
The vast ground floor office area was occupied by employees, all familiar faces from Celeste Jewels. Kelly gazed at the company's signboard, "Lavier Jewels, which stood out prominently. She was pleasantly surprised. It turned out that her father had been discreetly operating a jewelry company.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat could Rose do even if she inherited Celeste Jewels? It was an empty shell at this point.
She wanted to bring Rose over right away to witness this, as she was sure her reaction would be priceless. However, on the surface, she continued to appear deeply concerned as she said, "Dad if Rose were to. find out about this company..
Before she could finish, Jamie coldly interrupted her, "She will find out sooner or later, but even if she does, there's nothing she can do." These past years, every step he had taken had been extremely cunning. Rose wouldn't find any flaws. A gleam of shrewdness appeared in his eyes.
"Kelly, I've told you that you'll have a splendid wedding. From now on, you will be the sole heir of Lavier Jewels. Even the Lane family won't dare underestimate you anymore." "Thank you, Dad!" Kelly almost let out her triumphant feelings. Nevertheless, even in front of Jamie, she couldn't completely drop her benevolent façade.
Thinking of something, she bit her lip and said, "However, Nixon already informed Mrs. Lane Senior that I'll be bringing 500 million as a dowry for the wedding. "Rose will deliver that dowry at our doorstep." Driven by greed, Jamie was certain of his arrangement. The recruitment announcements had been out for an entire day, and Rose received only a few resumes.
Moreover, when she reviewed the company's inventory, she noticed discrepancies in the lists. As she was planning to investigate further, a commotion outside caught her attention. Soon, a high-society-looking woman with bodyguards stormed in.
"Get your manager out here!" The woman's entourage exuded an intimidating aura. Rose stepped out of her office, with William, Henry, and Shane forming a protective barrier around her.
Without waiting for her to speak, the high-society woman declared coldly, "Are you the one in charge of Celeste Jewels?" Rose did not evade the question and answered, "Yes." +15 BONUS The woman sneered, "Then, you owecompensation!" She gestured to her bodyguards, and they placed several high-end jewelry boxes in front of Rose.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'These are the custom-made jewelry I ordered from your store not too long ago. I chose Celeste Jewels because it has a decent reputation, but it turns out you dared to use fake materials for my pieces!" The woman angrily tossed a custom contract over and said, "Pay us the compensation!" Rose furrowed her brows and opened one of the jewelry boxes. Inside was a diamond necklace made from a unique diamond.
While the materials appeared genuine to the untrained eye, Rose could tell almost instantly that it was indeed fake. She then proceeded to open the other boxes.
Despite an initial appearance of authenticity, each of the jewelry was counterfeit upon closer examination. Meanwhile, the custom contract stipulated a tenfold penalty for using fake materials.
The total value on it was in the tens of millions which meant she owed one billion.
"Ms. Shaffer, what should we do?"
William had just checked the company's accounts and found that they only had a few andre om thousand in liquid assets. Rose furrowed her brows, her eyes deep with thought. She could pay for the one billion. However, it was a trap set for her. She took a deep breath and met the woman's gaze as she inquired, "One billion... How much did Jamie pay you?"
The woman, showing a hint of guilt in her eyes for a brief moment, quickly regained her composure. "What payment? You're not thinking of reneging on your debt, are you?" she asked.
Then, she signaled to her bodyguards, who immediately stepped forward and glared O M menacingly at Rose. Sherlyn, who was standing by, was on the verge of tears. Yet, there was no hint of fear in Rose's eyes. "If these pieces of jewelry are indeed fake, we will compensate you as stipulated-one billion, not a penny less. However, these jewelry items are not fake. Why should we pay?" Comments X
