Both Jasper and Jameson turned to look at Alyssa, knowing she was pissed now. So, they

“Congratulations, Ms. Alyssa! This one-of-a-kind necklace is yours!” The auctioneer

gestured happily,

swiftly knocking the gavel to halt all other bids.

There was a two-second silence before the hall erupted into clamorous applause.

Alyssa’s flat expression never wavered, however.

“Alyssa bought the fake, Mom! Do you think she saw through it?” Betty asked frantically,

heart pounding

like a frightened rabbit.

“Be quiet! Do you want everyone to hear you?” Sophia hissed venomously, pinching

Betty’s arm.

Sophia added, “Alyssa wouldn’t have noticed it was a fake, nor would she ever anticipate

“Didn’t you check all the donated jewelry before the auction started, Ms. Alyssa? What’s

going on?” Yves

asked worriedly, not blaming her in any way.

“It’s always so much more fun to take everyone by surprise, Madam Yves,” Alyssa said
