Chapter 32
Once they reached the Angelworld Jewelry building, each one of them stepped out of the car and Polly looked at the entrance of the buildings in excitement and pulled Emely along with her while Dahlia looked smug.
Dahlia knew everyone was looking at them and knew who they were–the VIPS of Angelworld Jewelry, a membership that only a few could afford or had been extended to for their spending there.
Hudson stood behind them, looking at the towering building in front of him, and he felt bitterness in his heart.
Who knew he would come back here only a few days after terminating their cooperation? The worst part was that deep in his heart, the reason he wanted to be here was to catch a glimpse of his ex–wife, and that was if he was lucky.
Sighing, he followed his family to the entrance of the building.
The Angelworld Jewelry had two separate entrances located side–by–side. One was for the employees, and one was for the
customers.
The staff recognized the Amery family, and they were escorted straight to the elevator, a special treatment reserved for VIPS.
With her smugness and confidence, Dahlia looked at Emely with a hint of contempt because she knew Emely would never enjoy such treatment if not for being with Hudson.
“Be used to this kind of treatment and establishment, dear. This is one of the perks of being an Amery.”
Polly, who always agreed with her mom, nodded and clung to Emely’s arm. “Mom is right, Emely. Once you are married to Hudson, you can get the best of everything you want.”
Emely clenched her fists slightly as she saw the contemptuous look in Dahlia’s eyes, but she nodded with a blush and said, “Alright”
are
“And see that we are brought to level 5, Emely?” Polly kept talking proudly. “It’s a level for us VIPs while the commoners a not allowed in. They are only allowed to be on the fourth floor.”
Hudson frowned as he heard his sister’s words, wanting to warn her how to speak properly. Even though they were indeed VIPs, they shouldn’t have outrightly talked about the differences in social classes in front of others as there was a staff there.
He hated being gossiped on, especially if it was because people thought he couldn’t teach his family members proper public manners. But before he could do so, the elevator sounded, and the door opened.
The staff ushered them to the main hall and left them there for the jewelry staff to deal with them.
The room was adomed with purple and gold colors, a mix of colors that was supposed to look terrifying, like a lair of a vampire or something. Still, Angelworld successfully made it into something that looked like the room belonged to royalty.
There were shelves of jewelry, from limited editions, those specially designed for runways and not for sale, to those new collections that were for sale.
On one side of the wall, there was another door, and it was where the more senior staff would show the clients the jewelry they wanted to see from the catalog, and deals and payments would be made.

As per usual, they sat on the plush couches and were served champagne, fruits, and a variety of small cute cakes.
The jewelry staff presented them with a catalog of their latest collection and one that had yet to be released.
Dahlia purposely took the latest collection to show off to Emely and the staff, who actually was already used to such customers and rolling his eyes inwardly at such disgusting behaviors.
“See this, Emely?” she pointed to one of the most expensive necklaces in the catalog. “I have this at home in my vault.”
“This is so beautiful, Dahlia,” Emely caressed the photo and pictured herself wearing such expensive and beautiful jewelry soon. She would be the envy of every woman in Country B, and she couldn’t wait for the time to come.
“Yes, and it is a limited edition,” Polly chimed in. “You do know the jewelry on this floor is all limited edition, right?”
Emely, who didn’t know about it, blushed in embarrassment. She had been away from Country B for a while, and neither Luis nor Hudson had ever given her any jewelry from Angelworld.
This was the first time she had heard of this high–end local brand, and to be honest, all the jewelry was very beautiful, even more beautiful than international branded jewelry.
Seeing the embarrassment on Emely’s face, Dahlia scoffed internally. First Cherise, now Emely. Her son seemed to always choose someone who would embarrass their family name
But since Emely was someone like her, she could manipulate her, and she was still better than Cherise in that aspect.
“Don’t worry about not knowing anything for this moment, Emely,” Dahlia assured her in a soothing way. “You’ve been away for too long. You have time to learn about all these things.”
Emely looked at Dahlia and breathed in relief. “Thank you, Dahlia.”
“You are going to be my daughter–in–law soon, Emely. You don’t have to be so polite, Dahlia patted Emely’s hand and
stretched out her hand to take the second catalog
Hudson looked at both catalogs and frowned. The latest catalog was indeed the Angelworld Jewelry collection that hadn’t
been released, but it was the collection that still involved their cooperation.
He crooked his fingers to the staff, gesturing to him to come.
“This collection,” he said as he tapped the catalog. “This is not Angelworld Jewelry’s newest collection.”
The staff, whose only job was to serve them with this latest collection, assured him it was ind newest collection, which was not even on the market yet and only available for VIPs like them to preview
‘world Jewelry’s
“No, it is not,” Hudson said calmly, but his gaze brought chills to the staff.
“Please let me ask the other staff about it first, Mr. Amery, the staff said before asking all his colleagues about it, and all of
them said the same thing as him there was no other newer collection
He went back to Hudson and told him about it.
Hudson, still with his calmness, ordered him, “Call your manager for me
Knowing who he was, the staff didn’t hesitate to call the manager for him.
Chapter 32
Once the manager arrived, Hudson went straight to the point and told him, “I want to see the “True Love‘ collection.”
The manager was surprised that Hudson asked to see it. For all he knew, Hudson should have seen the collection, but he also had heard that Amery Group was no longer involved in the collection due to their contract termination.
He deliberated whether to show Hudson the collection, as each piece of jewelry had yet to be inspected by their boss, but his thoughts were interrupted by an annoyed female voice.
“What is this talk about a newest collection?” Dahlia glared at the manager. “We are VIPs here, and yet you don’t want to show it to us?”
“That’s right,” Polly said. “Are you looking down on us? Don’t you know who my brother is? He is Hudson Amery, the most powerful CEO in Country B. Do you want to go against his wishes? Are you sure you want to do it?”
Hudson’s brows furrowed together in the middle of his forehead. He didn’t like how Polly was using his name to threaten other people. It wasn’t right to flaunt his name for others to do their bidding except if they were his employees or business
associates.
He himself had never done it and loathed doing it, because he knew his presence alone could bring fear to others in the business circle. He thought about talking to his sister about it once they were out of the public eye.
“You know we are wealthy enough to buy the collection,” Polly said with annoyance and impatience as she still saw the hesitation in the manager’s face. “What’s the harm in us looking at it anyway?”
Thinking about Polly’s words, the manager decided to show them the catalog. As she had said, there was no harm in just showing it.
Even though his boss had explicitly told him no one could pre–order them, they were VIPs who would most probably buy the collection the moment the collection was released.
The manager went to the other room and brought back a catalog, but it wasn’t enough for Dahlia.
“It seems your level of service has lowered,” she scoffed.
The manager looked at her with confusion. What else did this woman want? He had brought out the collection for them to see, but she was still complaining.
“We have never needed to wait for more than ten minutes before being ushered into the VIP room,” Dahlia pointed out. “But this time, we’ve been out here in the waiting room for more than thirty minutes, and I’m sure no one is in there at this
moment.”
“My mom is right,” Polly huffed. “This time, we are not treated like VIPs at all. And what’s so special about this “newest collection” that you hesitated to show us?”
She snatched the catalog from the manager, but it dropped to the floor and opened to a page with photos of rings for couples
Everyone looked at it, and before anyone could react, Polly squealed and scooped the catalog up in her hand. “Oh my God, this collection is for couples! This is perfect for Emely and you, brother!”
Seemingly forgotten about not being treated like VIPs, she dragged Emely back to the couch to see the catalog.
se are so great,” she gushed and said dreamily. “I wish I had someone to wear these couple bracelets with.”
“These

Curious about why her daughter seemed to change in a split second, Dahlia returned to the couch and took the catalog
from her.
She turned the pages slowly and carefully and couldn’t agree more with her daughter on how perfect this collection was. Even if one had no partner, they could still wear the jewelry themselves.
For her, this was the best collection of Angelworld Jewelry had produced so far. Every plece still had the same Intricacy and Angelworld’s specialness, but this collection seemed to ooze with something else… What was it, she thought?
Then, one word popped into her mind love. Now she understood why it was called ‘True Love“.
She kept turning the pages until she reached the last page, which showed a simple yet stunning pair of rings. The man’s ring would fit her son’s personality to a too–it was like it was created for him.
“I want to get this couple ring for my son and his fiance. Bill it up to my son,” she said as she pointed to the rings.
Hudson was used to his mom using his money, and he didn’t care for rings, so he let her be.
“I’m sorry, but none of the jewelry in this collection is allowed to be purchased or even pre–ordered yet,” the manager said politely.
Dahlia once again felt angry at the way they treated her today. She was never denied anything, but now she has been denied twice within less than an hour.
“We have to wait in the waiting room for a long time, and we are not allowed to buy anything. Do you still treat us as VIPs? Do you want to lose your VIP customers?” she asked contemptuously.
The manager wanted to explain, but then they all heard the elevator ding and a familiar feminine voice coming from the elevator.
All the Amerys and Emely turned their heads, and Polly was the first to speak in shock. “You!”
