Chapter 161

Ariana handed over a contract she had prepared in advance to Gwen. Seeing that Ariana had already arranged everything, Gwen’s expression darkened.

Ariana, however, remained unfazed and continued, “Ms. Lambert, I’ve already reviewed the contract thoroughly. All you need to do is sign it. Within seven days, I expect that pair of Aurora Pearls to be delivered to me. Seven days should be enough time for you to retrieve them, right?”

“Of course…” Gwen replied, though she couldn’t stop the faint trembling in her heart.

As Ariana took the signed contract, a satisfied smile spread across her face.
