Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Refusal

The blonde Filipina couldn’t help but speak, ”Yes, Mr. Kingston is going to put on the ring that represents eternity for you at the banquet, so pick a dress you like. From today, Miss Alice is officially entering the jewelry design world.”

Monica Usher’s eyes flashed with a glint of light. Is this the assistance Mr. Ed mentioned over the phone?

”And the ring you endorse will auction for a high price. Mr. Ed also plans to give you a substantial endorsement fee.”

Monica Usher suddenly felt like she was on cloud nine!

”Ms. Usher, don’t just stand there. Hurry and pick a gown. Once you select the gown, you can decide on the makeup. Tonight’s banquet is of high standard; elite figures from various circles will attend. Your hairstyle must match the gown. Besides Miss Alice, you will be the most dazzling protagonist tonight.”

”Alright, I’ll choose immediately.” Monica Usher hadn’t been this happy for a long time.

In a unique building to the east of the castle, there was a very grand reception room.

Justin Kingston received the highest level of hospitality from Mr. Ed, with bodyguards waiting outside. The two successful businessmen were having an open conversation inside the reception room.

The air was filled with a faint aroma of tea.

Ed sat in a custom wheelchair worth fifty million, with neat attire and a blue blanket covering his knees.

Despite being in his fifties, he looked young.

He placed a delicate purple box on the tea table, ”CEO Kingston, take a look at this.”

Justin Kingston picked up the box, his well-defined fingers gently opened it, revealing a uniquely designed, dazzling ring.

The first impression was that it was beautiful.

He admired it; the diamond ring featured a unique inlay, forming a romantically overflowing heart shape, with an elegantly three-dimensional design that many girls would love.

”How does it feel?” Mr. Ed was eagerly awaiting his evaluation, ”It’s personally designed by my daughter.”

Designed by an eighteen-year-old girl? Justin was quite surprised.

He carefully took the ring out of the box.

Ten shining diamonds embraced the main diamond, like a groom merging his hands to hold his beloved girl in his palms, full of beauty and not at all ostentatious.

Though the concept was cliché, it was much loved by women.

”Is this the only one?” Justin guessed.

”For now, yes.” Ed had a gratified smile, ”This is my daughter’s first work. She wants to create an original brand, specializing in custom wedding rings where each adult man can only use his ID to custom order one in his lifetime.”

”It’s a great idea, and the design is very special.” Justin, an expert in jewelry, gave his approval, ”Young people should have dreams, and as a father, you should support her.”

Mr. Ed was very pleased to hear those words.

”Could you do me a favor and film a promotional video for my daughter? Just tonight,” Mr. Ed revealed his plan. ”While all the media are here, put the ring on Monica, and do a romantic proposal. Everyone thinks you two are a perfect match, a handsome and talented couple. Of course, I know you’re married, but it’s just an endorsement for the brand, fake, as long as the audience buys it.”

”I have no problem with endorsing.” Justin picked up the bone china cup and took a sip of tea.

”Thank you!” Ed was very pleased.

Justin put down the teacup, looking at him with calm eyes, ”But I can’t cause misunderstandings for others. As a husband, I especially don’t want my wife to be troubled by such news.”

”I think Mrs. Kingston can definitely understand; it’s just filming a promo,” Ed thought in a modern way. ”You even have kids together, so your relationship must be very stable.” After all, having lived abroad for many years, his thinking was westernized.

”It’s not that she doesn’t understand,” Justin explained, ”It’s that I don’t want this for myself; it has nothing to do with her.”

”...” Ed’s smile slightly stiffened.

”As I said, there’s no problem with endorsing, and I can film the promo too,” Justin’s voice was gentle, ”But not now, absolutely not tonight. Another day, I will bring my wife to see you. You tell us where to film, and we will go there, however you want to shoot it, that’s how we’ll do it, okay?”

”...” Ed was speechless. Given the statement, persuading further would be inappropriate.

With a smile on his lips, Justin’s eyes shone with sincere light. He said, ”I love her, so I will reject any scandal for her, and I hope you can understand.”

Ed was shocked, a man known to keep away from scandal fully devoted when it comes to relationships.
