The Million-Dollar Vendetta

Summary

I bought $1 million worth of gold jewelry for my wedding from a well-known downtown jeweler. As the wedding approached, my order still hadn’t arrived.

When I went to collect it, the saleswoman—Lily—told me the price of gold had risen and I had to pay the difference.

“Gold is up 98pergram.Foryour1,314grams,that’s128,772. Let’s call it $130,000,” she said, showing me her calculator.

I was stunned. “I paid in full two weeks ago. You offered delivery, that’s why I left it here. This is extortion.”
