His assessment was quite fair; he didn’t belittle Mia Ashworth and Claire Donovan’s work just because
the Starlight Sapphire was his. However, Sasha Felix’s heart was seething with even more hatred.
Clenching her teeth, though she tried to suppress it, anger was evident in her voice, “I won’t
mention the Tears of the Rose, they’re inherently expensive, but what about Claire Donovan’s diamond
necklace? Just a diamond worth tens of millions, and it dares to compete with our Starlight
Sapphire?”
Not just Joseph Felix, but even the Wind Wolf sitting on the other side frowned upon hearing this. He
turned to glance at Sasha Felix and shook his head in disbelief. Joseph Felix’s expression darkened
instantly, anger rising in his eyes, “Jinxiu, we’re in the jewelry business. If you don’t understand
the soul that designers imbue in jewelry, how can you take over the Felix family’s business?”
His words undoubtedly struck a chord in Sasha Felix’s heart. Her fingers dug deeper into her palm,
and a thin mist seemed to cloud her eyes. “Dad, no matter how skilled a designer is, isn’t the value of a piece of jewelry ultimately determined by the jewel itself? I don’t believe that if you give
Claire Donovan a stone and ask her to design a necklace, it could sell for a fortune!” Her defiant words were somewhat illogical.
Sasha Felix had never talked back to Joseph Felix before, let alone in such a tone. Joseph Felix’s expression grew even colder. He opened his mouth slightly but then said nothing more.
As time passed, the show was nearing its end. Claire Donovan had some doubts about Sean Vanderbilt’s words, but now, she believed them. This time, one of the three families‘ jewels would undoubtedly be the finale. Claire Donovan, usually composed, couldn’t help but feel nervous, even more so than when she attended the Charm Designers‘ Competition.
Not just her, but Mia Ashworth and Sasha Felix were also on tenterhooks, knowing the results would soon be revealed. As a country’s jewelry display concluded, the climax finally arrived! Everyone knew there were only three models left to walk the stage.
On the right side of the catwalk, a tall model stepped forward. Though distant, the necklace around her neck, glittering with blue starlight, was unmistakable. The Starlight Sapphire shone dazzlingly under the lights of the venue. Immediately, there were exclamations from the audience, evidently amazed and deeply interested in the Starlight Sapphire necklace.

“Wow! The Starlight Sapphire is so large!”
“Yes, indeed, it looks stunning on the model!”
“This must be worth a fortune, right?”
“Of course! The Starlight Sapphire is rare, especially one of this size.”
Hearing the discussions behind her, Sasha Felix’s face turned pale with fury. She had brought out the
most valuable Starlight Sapphire of the Felix family, even the hidden gem of Joseph Felix, and it was
the first to be presented? Losing to Mia Ashworth’s Tears of the Rose was bad enough, but to be
outdone by Claire Donovan was unbearable. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“What’s going on?” Her face stiffened with anger as she blurted out, “Has the organizer’s brain been
squashed in a door? Don’t they know the value of this Starlight Sapphire? If they lack knowledgeable
appraisers, I can find them some. What in the world is this?!”
A girl, dressed beautifully and with a decent demeanor, burst out with a curse, drawing attention
from those in front, beside, and behind her. Clearly, from her words, many deduced that the Starlight
Sapphire necklace was hers, and disdainful glances were thrown her way. However, no one spoke up:
after all, why offend someone over something that had nothing to do with them?
Joseph Felix, sitting beside her, also caught some of these looks. He slowly closed his eyes, his
face twitching slightly, evidently suppressing something. With the appearance of the Starlight Sapphire, the suspense now lay only with the Tears of the Rose and Claire Donovan’s diamond necklace
and the answer would be revealed by the next model to walk the stage.
Although the Starlight Sapphire had appeared and Sasha Felix was livid, she still stared intently at the stage, preferring the Tears of the Rose to win over Claire Donovan’s victory. Soon, after the model with the Starlight Sapphire posed in several styles and was introduced by the host, another figure emerged from the right side of the catwalk.
The woman, with long black hair and a tall figure, was too far and poorly positioned for Sasha Felix to see what was around her neck. Sasha widened her eyes further in an attempt to see… At this moment Mia Ashworth’s hands were firmly on the armrests of her chair, her upper body leaning forward. She stared unblinkingly at the right side of the catwalk, trying hard to identify the woman under the lights.

In contrast to her tension, Claire Donovan appeared calmer, but only on the surface; her heartbeat accelerated at this moment. As the woman slowly emerged from the lights, Claire Donovan’s fingers gradually tightened, and she stared unblinkingly at the figure. In this extreme silence, Claire Donovan could even hear the fierce pounding of her own heart.
As the woman officially stepped onto the catwalk, the venue seemed to ignite instantly. Many recognized the face that emerged and the necklace around her neck.
“Ah! It’s Luna Lyons!”
“Ahhhh… It’s really Luna Lyons!”
“The necklace she’s wearing is the Tears of the Rose! Oh my, which company dared to bring such a
valuable jewel!”
“Luna Lyons is truly a goddess! Already beautiful, and with that necklace, she’s absolutely
stunning!”
“So beautiful!”
“Wow! This is incredible! Tears of the Rose and Luna Lyons, a perfect match!”
The noisy excitement erupted, but Mia Ashworth’s ears suddenly rang. A buzzing sound filled her ears
as if draining all her strength. She leaned back against the chair with a thud. Her face turned pale
as she stared at the emerging Luna Lyons, her fingers gripping the armrest so tightly that they might
have pierced through if it weren’t sturdy.
“How… how is this possible?”
Yesterday, when Vivia made her statement, she was merely upset because she knew the true value of the
necklace wasn’t determined by Vivia alone but by the collective appraisal of the five judges from the
organizing committee.
