Not bothering to explain anything , she sat across from Judith and put on a greedy look . " You want my silence ? Sure . I want 800 thousand dollars . " Judith snapped at once . " Seriously ? You , a cheap slut , want that much ? Dream on ! " Sandria crossed her legs elegantly , her curvy figure perfectly outlined by the sleek cut of her attire . She tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear , smiling captivatingly . " What a pity - Florentino is obsessed with me even after eight years . I wonder … If Courtney knows he's still involved with me after getting engaged to her , will she still help with the Burnham Group's dilemma ? " Judith's expression immediately darkened . Sandria sensibly changed her strategy . " Mrs. Burnham , you know all my family , right ? So , you do know I'm in desperate need of money . I do have self- awareness . I can assure you that . " For Judith , 800 thousand dollars was just spare change . It wasn't a bad deal . She pulled out her checkbook and signed the check without hesitation . " You can take the money after you write me a guarantee . " Sandria took the check with a smile . Then she picked up a piece of paper and a pen from the desk , wrote the guaran- tee , signed it , and even pressed her thumbprint onto it . Judith nodded with satisfaction . Just then , Courtney knocked on the door and entered . " Mrs. Burnham , I heard you were here . I … " Her expression changed slightly when she saw Sandria . " Ms. Farley ? " Judith's eyes flickered as she immediately stood up and walked toward Courtney with a warm smile . " Courty , I called her in to carry our bags . Accompany me to go shopping , alright ?

" After saying this , she turned around to Sandria , scolding icily , " What are you waiting for ? " The stark contrast in her attitude pleased Courtney a lot . She smiled , " Tino can tag along . I wanna know his opinion . " Though she had acted harmless all this time , Sandria , who had dealt with different people over the past eight years , knew it was just her facade . Judith didn't have any objections at all . She said with a smile , " You have no idea how happy I am , seeing you two so in love . " On the way to the mall , the three were just like a harmonious , sweet family , which sickened Sandria so much that she wanted to retch . Since she hadn't handed in her resignation letter , she wisely chose not to say anything , following them expressionless- ly . Unfortunately , though she wanted no trouble , Judith hated to leave her alone . When Courtney was trying on a diamond necklace , Judith beckoned her to walk over . " Sandria , this is probably your only chance in this lifetime to see something this exquisite . Why don't you take a nice look ? It'll be a memory to live by . " Courtney appeared very enthusiastic . " Ms. Farley , diamonds cut this perfectly are almost all from Iazia . The engagement ring Tion gave me … " Suddenly , she smiled apologetically . " I'm sorry . I grew up around these since childhood , and I forgot someone like you probably knows nothing about them . Surely , you won't blame me , right , Ms. Farley ? " Judith burst out laughing . This was exactly what she wanted - to make sure Sandria realized she could never be a match to Courtney , the daugh- ter of a prominent family . After this , Sandria wouldn't pester Florentino anymore . She immediately echoed , " Courty , she should be grateful that you can spare time to explain things like this to her . What does she know about diamonds ? " Standing behind Courtney , Florentino glanced over , his gaze displeased . Sandria couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly . She said , deliberately raising her voice , " Oh ? " Mrs. Burnham , I may not know that much about diamonds , but I do know one thing - this necklace is just a display replica . Ms. Mosley , how could a rich heiress like you fail to recognize it ? " 42.3 % 07:06 Chapter 11 Chapter 11
