Previously, Alex had appeared on a variety show with Cynthia Shirley wondered if it was that when Alex got close to
Whitney
But such things weren’t unusual at the top In the entertainment world, even the biggest stars were just the playthings of the top tycoons,
Once inside, Shirley looked around. The entire exhibit hall was fast and had a very vintage vibe. Besides the jewelry on display, precious artifacts from an old palace were showcased.
As Shirley stepped in, she was surrounded by a uniquely luxurious Clusia–style atmosphere–subtle, traditional, yet rich in history
They quickly reached the central exhibition hall, Inside were several display stands made of sandalwood, each covered with bulletproof glass. Various jewels were showcased inside,
After just one glance, Shirley felt her heart race and her vision blur. Everything was so dazzling and beautiful. There were dozens of exhibits, including diamond necklaces, crowns, gemstone brooches, and sapphire scepters.
Each piece was an exquisite masterpiece, and a look suggested immense value. All the exhibits were arranged in a petal–like fashion, forming the shape of a flower.
In the center was a stand, the largest and most striking one. It was also covered with bulletproof glass, but nothing was displayed inside.
Shirley found it pretty odd. It seemed like the centerpiece was the main attraction, but nothing was inside. Of course, Shirley wasn’t the only one with this question.
Alex stood beside Whitney and asked, “Ms. Bennett, why is the central stand empty?”
Whitney calmly replied, “This is the highlight of today. QUEEN will unveil today’s main attraction: the Queen’s Tears”
“The Queen’s Tears? Alex asked with surprise.
Whitney explained, “It’s said to be Miss Y’s masterpiece, a 309–carat Kashmir Sapphire that was once a coronation gift from the Saudland Royal Family to Queen Elizabeth.
“However, it never appeared at the coronation and only resurfaced half a century later.”
Alex was quite surprised. He asked, “Ms. Bennett, are you interested in the Queen’s Tears?” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Whitney smiled and said, “All the jewelry displayed here today will be auctioned off one by one, including the Queen’s Tea It’s the piece I value the most this year, and I plan to take it home tonight.”
Alex said, “I hope Ms. Bennett comes out on top and returns triumphant.”
Whitney said with a smile, “Among today’s auction items, you can choose one as well. I’ll give you a budget of 16 million dollars. If you find something suitable, just go ahead and bid on it.”
Alex’s face lit up with joy as he said, “Thank you, Ms. Bennett.”
Shirley, standing nearby, initially looked down on Alex for his flattery and dependence. But her eyes lit up when she hear about the 16–million–dollar budget.
Shirley quickly stepped forward and said, “Ms. Bennett, who would dare to compete with you for something you like? The Queen’s Tears is surely meant for you. Only you deserve the title of Queen.”
TU, INOV ZI
Shirley’s abrupt words caught everyone off guard. Whliney hit her head to glance at Shirley, easily perceiving her true
intentions.
Whitney gave a cold chuckle and said, “You can also choose something you like, and I’ll give you the same 16 million budget
Upon hearing this, Shirley’s eyes lit up. She said, “Thank you, M Bennett She couldn’t believe that saying a few kind words to Whitney could earn her 10 million dollars effortlessly.
She thought. If I become Whitney’s favorite, will 1 accumulate undless wealth? Shirley became increasingly excited at the thought.
In the blink of an eye, Cynthia and Jonathan were headed this way. Upon seeing Cynthia, Shirley’s face fell. However, remembering she was about to acquire a 10–million–dollar piece of jewelry, she felt smug again.
Jonathan walked up to Whitney, looking quite respectful. He greeted, “Whitney. You’re here too.”
Whitney gave Jonathan a good look over and said, “Looks like you’ve been doing well lately.”
Jonathan’s voice was calm and steady, saying, “Thanks to you for going easy on me, Whitney.”
Whitney seemed amused by his words. She said, “But I’m getting a bit bored lately. Your peaceful days might be over soon.”
Jonathan didn’t show any particular expression. He replied, “Then I am ready to accompany you until the end.
There wasn’t a hint of fear in his tone. Instead, it exuded calm confidence and a touch of disdain.
Whitney found it quite amusing. She thought, Jonathan seems little different from before.”
Soon, Whitney’s gaze landed on Cynthia. She said, “I heard you two already got your marriage certificate?”
Cynthia responded openly, “Yes, Ms. Bennett.”
Whitney said, “Since you’ve gotten your marriage certificate, shouldn’t you call me Whitney?”
Cynthia smiled slightly as she said, “Everyone is aware of pretenses. It’s just too fake.”
your relationship with Jonathan, so there’s really no need for thes
Whitney mocked, “No wonder you’re just a country girl without any manners.”
Jonathan was about to say something when Cynthia gently took hold of his arm.
Cynthia wasn’t bothered by Whitney’s words at all. She smiled lightly and said, “I am an uncultured country girl, so if I ever do something inappropriate that offends you, I hope you won’t mind, Ms. Bennett.”
Whitney was momentarily at a loss for words. Deep down, she truly Cynthia. Despite her small– town background
Cynthia had a natural elegance.

Standing beside Shirley, their attitudes were worlds apart. One was like a proud swan and the other a quacking duck from the reeds.
Whitney quite liked Cynthia and had tried to win her over. Unfortunately, Cynthia chose to oppose her. So, she wouldn’t b

Whitney gave a slight smile. At that moment, the lights in the exhibition hall dimmed a bit, and everyone fell silent.
With feathers on his chest, the host slowly rose from an underground lift. He greeted, “Welcome, everyone, to the annual grand party of QUEEN.”

After finishing a long monoleqturs, David continued. “Theday, our jewelry show will be broadcast live worldwide, including auctions, which will be completely open.”
David’s words caused quite a . Everyone present woutered, we ran an event of this magnitude be live streamed Marcy attendees are secretive inillionaires who highly value their privity, and there liar been no prior notice:
The audience was in an upmar. Even Whitney furrowed her brows.
To Whitney, live streaming seemed like a publicity stunt from the entertainment industry. She wondered. Why would QUEEN suddenly decide to livestream at this event? It will upset many people
Sure enough, wealthy individuals worldwide began to protest, throwing the whole scene into chaos.
Cynthia, however, remained calm. The live stream was a request she had made to Simon. Indeed, it could offend those privacy–conscious high–end clients.
Today, Cynthia had to use this method to expose Shirley’s wrongdoings to the world. It was the best punishment for Shirley, and no matter how powerful Whitney might be, she couldn’t save Shirley.
