At the same time, Boden also got curious.

“Vivian, why do you want to borrow her jewelries?”

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Boden felt that Vivian was just a spontaneous girl, but she had no bad intentions.

Vivian smiled and said, “Cousin Boden, I'm telling the truth. I just want to try them on. Is Miss Rodriguez so unwilling to let me borrow them? Is she really your friend?"

Luella swallowed hard. Was this girl deliberately sowing discord between her and Boden?

She couldn't utter a word, but she was annoyed at that Vivian was trying to make it seem Like she was a bad guy.

In her mind, she already wanted to shout at Vivian. She was only Boden's cousin. How dare she take advantage of her position to bully her? Was this Vivian's scheme to try and take away her necklace and watch?

Sensing the tension between the two women, Boden was seriously thinking about how he could resolve the situation.

He then asked once more, "Vivian, what is the specific reason that you want to borrow the jewelry? If you have a good reason, I'm sure Miss Rodriguez may give it some thought." Then, he turned to Luella this time.

“Won't you please Lend the necklace and watch to my cousin for my sake? Please be assured that if they were somehow damaged, I'll take full responsibility and replace them."

Seeing Boden almost beg her, Luella felt that she couldn't refuse anymore.

However, as she looked around the venue, she found that all women in the banquet were well-dressed. If she didn't have these precious accessories, she would become an ugly duckling in a sea of swans.

In fact, compared with the other female guests, her face wasn't that beautiful and charming. So, why would she do something that would Lower her level even more?

Although Boden was not that bad at communicating with women, he also didn't know too much about them. He wasn't able to figure out what was really bothering Luella. For him, since he had shown utmost sincerity, he felt that it was enough.

Now, Luella thought that if she still refused, she would look bad in front of Boden.

But while Luella was still hesitating, Vivian suddenly spoke in a bold manner.

“Miss Rodriguez, to be honest, I am only borrowing your necklace and watch for your own sake. Do you know who I really am?"

Luella became nervous upon hearing Vivian.

She stammered, “Who... Who are you?”

Vivian was quite satisfied as this was the reaction she wanted. With smug satisfaction, she looked at Luella but said nothing.
