I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 393

Zeke attempted to say something, but before he could get his words out, Courtney cut him off with a smile. "Thank you so much, Mr. Pena. You're so generous!"

Without giving him any time to react, she did what Zeke had done earlier and waved her hand to get the crowd's attention before calling out loudly, "Mr. Pena said he wants to buy me the watch that costs five hundred grand! Don't you think he's so amazing?!"

Naturally, the crowd broke out in discussion once again.

"Another guy says he's going to buy that watch? Is he going to be another poser?"

"I don't think so. Look, he's dripping in branded apparel. There's no reason why he would slap himself in the face with a statement like that!"

All at once, the crowd began to cheer.

"What a generous guy you are, Mr. Pena! What luck! We're going to get to see what a watch that costs five hundred grand looks like!"

"Yeah! Hurry up and pay for it! Teach that loser a lesson! You'll get to walk away with your arms around the woman too!"

Meanwhile, Catherine was still busy perusing the display to choose which watch she wanted.

As soon as she heard what Courtney said, she froze in shock!

After standing in a daze for quite some time, she rushed over at once and grabbed Zeke's arm. "Darling, what's going on? Why are you buying her such an expensive watch?!"

All the color had drained from Zeke's face. "I didn't say that! She's making it up!"

Catherine heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. Then, she turned to Courtney and berated her viciously, "What kind of an evil b*tch are you?! How can you try to come between me and my boyfriend like that?"

Courtney shrugged. "He just said that all I had to do was say the word and he would dump you, and he would buy me a watch too. Catherine, have you ever heard me tell lies?"

"You… Stop trying to cause a rift in our relationship! What a nasty b*tch you are!" Catherine screeched, "I won't believe your bullsh*t!"

That was what she said, but deep down inside, her heart was pounding! Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She shared a dorm room with Courtney for nearly four years now, and she knew very well that Courtney was not the kind of person who would make up a story like that.

However, she could not back down now.

All she could do was lie to herself and pretend that Courtney was the one lying about it because if she lost Zeke, she would once again be nothing more than an ordinary woman on the street.

There would be no more expensive makeup nor luxury brands for her.

She could not bear to go back to that kind of life.

Meanwhile, Zeke was brewing up a storm inside as well.

He finally realized that Courtney had fooled him.

Zeke's face began to burn at the crowd's pointing and comments.

"Courtney Bullock! You're f*cking lying through your teeth! Take a look in the mirror! Who the f*ck would spend five hundred grand to buy a watch for someone like you?"

As soon as he said that, Kingsley piped up coolly, "Me!"

He stepped forward and said to Julie, "Didn't you hear Courtney asking you to bring that watch out?"

"That's…" Julie's lips trembled. "Are you sure you're buying it?"

Kingsley threw her an icy stare. "What's the matter? Do you think I can't afford it?"

"No… That's not…"

Julie caught Kingsley's gaze and felt like her soul was being sucked out of her.

She stepped back instinctively and said in a terrified voice, "I'll go and get it right now! At once!"

Julie immediately jogged to the VIP store room at the back of the store.

Zeke stared at Kingsley like he was a fool. "Are you f*cking mad? All this for the sake of defending a woman? Let's see how are you going to get yourself out of this when she brings the watch out!"

Catherine also barked out her threat. "Courtney, if your man can't pay for it, I'll go and post all about what you did on the school forums!"

She bit down on her lips and glared at Courtney. "I want to let everyone know that you brought a beggar over to Tellavie Plaza and tried to talk big! Let's see if you're shameless enough to continue attending college!"

Courtney paid them no mind. Instead, she muttered to Kingsley, "Kingsley, are you seriously going to buy it? Do you have that kind of money on you?"
