His Lordship Alexander Kane by Useless Caesar

Chapter 0645 300 thousand dollars?! Amber froze, her face a mask of bewilderment. It was not that she could not afford it, but the price was just ludicrous.

For New Chesire Group, where she was the big boss, 300 thousand dollars was chump change. Heck, even three million or 30 million would not make her bat an eyelash.

As the head honcho, Amber was no stranger to glitzy events, always decked out in gowns and a dazzling array of accessories. g Necklaces, rings, headpieces, tiaras, bracelets... The stash Susanne had curated for her alone was worth an impressive 15 million.

Amber hummed, unclasped the necklace, and set it back down on the stall. She looped her arm through Alexander's and made to leave.

Are you willing to take it?" Oh? The vendor shot a quick glance at Alexander, then peered over at Carson in the distance. Their eyes locked, and a wicked smile spread across his face.

: The vendor's lips curled into a sly grin as he gave Alexander a once- over, his eyes lingering with a hint of mischief on Amber's graceful figure. He chuckled softly. "Fellas, forget about this guy. Let's focus on the lady here, shall we? "This lovely lady has taken a shine to this necklace. If we hit it off, I might just let her have it in the house!" On the
