“Ah?” Sophia’s slightly surprised expression made James a little embarrassed.
He paused and said, “We haven’t found the woman who tried to hurt you last time. To prevent this from happening again, I’ll go with you.”
It was the largest bookstore in the city of Paris, The Last Stop Bookstore.
Sophia looked a little depressed.
“I’ve visited so many strange bookstores, but there’s nothing. This is the most famous bookstore in the city. There are many customers every day.”
James smiled. “We’ve already visited so many shops. This one is not a big deal. Let’s go and ask.”
James had accompanied him for so long, but he was not impatient at all. Instead, he patiently comforted him.
Sophia took a deep breath and braced herself. She could look forward to the GM competition for a long time. She could not be discouraged!
She walked up to the cashier and asked, “Excuse me, does the bookstore have the book ‘Magical Metal Clay Jewelry’?”
The cashier looked up at Sophia and muttered, “This book was an existence that no one cared about before. Why have so many people asked about it these two days?”
When Sophia heard this, she immediately felt hopeless.
With so many people asking, there was definitely none left.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard the cashier’s voice. “You’re so lucky, this is the last treasure of our shop! If he had come a little later, there would have been none left!”
“Heavens, what a coincidence!” Sophia said excitedly.
Then, he said mischievously to James, “Today, you are my lucky star.”
“Then please help me hold it, thank you.” Sophia said to the cashier.
The cashier nodded. He was also infected by Sophia’s happy smile.
“Ah, this is the book! It was this book! How did you know I wanted this book? Thank you! I’ll pay.” On the way back with the book, the cashier suddenly heard an excited woman’s voice beside him.
Because it was loud, Sophia naturally heard it.
She looked over when she heard the voice, and her expression darkened instantly.
“Yo, sister, you’re here too? She even brought her brother-in-law along? Why? Are you planning to apply for the position of a page boy here?” Jessica looked at James, who was walking out of the door, and sneered.
Next to Jessica stood a young girl in her twenties. She wore a white, deep V-shaped dress that outlined her figure perfectly.
Sophia also knew this girl. She was the class beauty, Vivian, who had been showing off in the group the day before.
“Long time no see, Sophia..” Vivian looked at the door of the bookstore and smiled. “Is that your husband? I didn’t expect you to really get married.”
“We all thought that you would have some achievements in your profession. I didn’t expect you to get married so early! But that’s good too. You said you wanted to get married when you were in school. Now, your dream has come true, haha.” Vivian said and smiled arrogantly.
Then he looked at the cashier and said, “This is the book. Pay the bill. I’m in a hurry.”
Sophia sneered. Vivian must be relaxed now. Finally, I don’t have to compete with her.
However, how could a person grow without some stimulation?
Sophia looked at Vivian indifferently and said, “I asked for this book first.”
Vivian looked at Sophia in disbelief and exclaimed, “You’re already married. Why do you still need this book? Are you deliberately making things difficult for me just to anger me?”
Vivian turned to look at the cashier, hoping for a negative answer.
However, the cashier nodded awkwardly and said, “Ma’am, it was indeed this lady who came first and specially asked about this book.”
Vivian thought it was true, so she smiled and said, “Sophia, it’s like this. I received an invitation to a competition from the WMT. I really need this book as a design reference. You’re married now, and your husband looks so handsome.”
She didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning behind her words was that she wanted Sophia to give her the book.
Without waiting for Sophia to speak, Jessica couldn’t help but take the opportunity to mock, “Sister, you’re already married. Why are you still reading? The most important thing is to look after my handsome brother-in-law!”
“Hehe, don’t let some sexy young woman seduce you! If you want to cry, you can’t come to our house!”
“Besides, Vivian is going to participate in the GM competition! Did you know about the GM competition? The world’s top jewelry competition! Vivian is going to become famous in one battle.”
As he spoke, he did not forget to look at Vivian affectionately.
Looking at Vivian’s expression, it was obvious that she enjoyed it.
Sluts are always pretentious!
Sophia now knew who this sentence was appropriate for.
It was people like Vivian and Jessica who could speak freely!
She looked at the two of them and sneered. “What a coincidence. I know about the GM competition too. Besides, I bought the book for the competition!”
After saying that, Sophia glared at the two b * tches who had yet to react. Then, she took out cash from her bag and said, “Hello, bill!”
“Wait!” Jessica was the first to react. She quickly stood in front of Sophia and said to the cashier, “Sell the book to us! I can’t sell it to her!”
The cashier didn’t know what to do when she saw Jessica and Sophia pulling at each other.
“I…I’ll get our manager to come out,” she said carefully.
Soon, the bookstore manager came out.
He looked at both sides and felt that both sides were not weak. For a moment, he did not know what to do.
Seeing that the manager didn’t speak for a long time, Jessica hurriedly said, “Manager, I advise you to think carefully about who to sell this book to.”
“After all, if you sell it to the beautiful Ms. Vivian beside me, you’ll get the most promising jewelry designer of the new generation. Especially since she’s going to buy the book for the W M Jewelry Competition. When she wins the award, won’t you take the opportunity to organize a bookstore promotion?”
“As for this Miss Sophia…” Jessica looked at Sophia and smiled contemptuously. “She’s a homeless woman who was chased out by her biological father and married a poor man. Think carefully about who you should sell this book to!”
Sophia snorted coldly in her heart. She did not expect her half-sister to be so good at bewitching people.
Sophia was about to retort when a cold voice came from above her head. “I think that businessmen should be honest and follow the basic quality of first come, first served. Otherwise, this business won’t last long! I’ll give you ten thousand dollars. Sell me this book. I’ll pay now!”
James did not expect Sophia to meet Jessica again while he was on the phone.
The bookstore manager was moved by Jessica’s words.
James directly raised the matter to the level of the bookstore’s reputation. He wanted to see how the bookstore manager would choose!
Hearing 10,000 dollars, even the manager, who was used to seeing big scenes, could not help but be stunned!
Spending 10,000 dollars to buy a book? Was this person crazy?
The three women who heard the voice instantly looked at James. After all, the daily price of this book was only about 100 dollars, and James actually offered 10,000 dollars. Although everyone was not short of money, they could not raise the price like this!
“Yo, Brother-in-law, you can’t make money, but you’re learning to be rich quickly!”
“It’s just a book, and you dare to pay 10,000 USD? The nightclub business has been very good recently. Did Mrs. Rich give you a tip?”
Hearing Jessica’s words, Sophia was furious. She pulled Jessica away and pointed at her. “If you continue to spout nonsense, I won’t let you off!”
Then, he held James ‘hand and said, “We don’t want this book anymore! It’s just a lousy book. I can still win the competition without it!”
“Look! As expected of a married couple, this couple didn’t even blush when they were bragging. They actually wanted to win the GM competition! Who gave you the courage?”
Jessica continued to mock him coldly.
When Vivian saw this scene, she could not help but laugh coldly in her heart.
Seeing the faces of these two women, James’s mouth twitched. He pulled Sophia and handed the bank card to the bookstore manager. He said coldly, “Ten thousand dollars, pay by card!”
