Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Aurelia was taken aback as she didn’t expect her ring to shine so brightly.

The colleague rubbed her eyes and spotted the ring on Aurelia’s hand.

“Aurelia!”

“You scared me!” Aurelia was shocked by the shout.

The colleague grabbed her hand to look at the ring.

“Is that a wedding band?”

“Yeah.”

It was something like that.

“When did you get it?”

“Haha, just now.”

Aurelia didn’t intend to lie since everyone in the building was sensitive to gossip.

Everyone would find out where she got the ring from and how much it cost by tomorrow.

Hence, she decided to tell the truth.

Just then, a voice chimed in, “I just showed you my ring this morning, and you went to get one in the afternoon. Aurelia, is that really necessary?”

The voice belonged to Kimberly.

Aurelia anticipated this and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not trying to compete with you. After all, the diamond in mine is just an ordinary one. How can it compare to yours?”

She then showed her ring to everyone.

The diamond was moderate in size and indeed couldn’t compare to the big diamond on Kimberly’s

ring.

Still, Aurelia was unsure of why her ring shone so brightly.

The colleague noticed something. She took Aurelia’s and Kimberly’s hands, placing their two rings side by side.

“Looking at the size, Kimberly’s engagement ring wins hands down.”

Kimberly smirked arrogantly and flaunted her finger, evidently wanting everyone to see her ring.

“But…” the colleague hesitated.

“But what? You won’t say her ring is better than mine, right?” Kimberly sneered.

“Yours is certainly more expensive, but when I chose my own wedding band, I specifically consulted

an expert.

“You can’t just judge a ring by its size. You have to consider the quality, color, clarity, and cut, all of which affect the quality of the diamond. When compared to Aurelia’s, Kimberly’s ring appears slightly yellowish and lacks shine. Aurelia’s ring is perfect. Although it’s smaller in size, it’s definitely more expensive,”

Aurelia started to pick up on the differences as well.

Having previously worked on jewelry exhibitions, she had some understanding of the subject.

She knew about the quality of diamonds, so she found it strange that such a small diamond could be so shiny.

However, she didn’t know that diamond quality was categorized into so many grades, with each grade further subdivided.

“Kimberly, why does your large diamond have black spots inside? Were you scammed?”

“Nonsense! Mine is a custom–made piece!” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Kimberly quickly withdrew her hand and covered her ring.

Everyone chuckled at the realization that Kimberly’s fiancé simply wanted to spend the least amount of money to marry her.

Other people thought Kimberly was superficial and riddled with deep flaws.

However, this time, Kimberly didn’t behave as impulsively as before when she announced a new engagement in the morning and changed partners in the afternoon. Instead, she swallowed her pride because she knew her uncle would stop supporting her and she would never find a wealthier man

otherwise.

Hence, she could only endure it.

Aurelia shrugged indifferently.

“Your ring is much more expensive than mine, so there’s no need for any comparison. Let’s get back

to work.”

With that, she returned to her workstation.

Kimberly felt that Aurelia was mocking her. She had bought such an expensive ring, yet it still

couldn’t outshine Aurelia’s smaller ring.

She clenched her fists in anger.

Just then, Zachary emerged with a displeased look on his face.

“Aurelia, come in for a moment.”
