Chapter 131 You're Clueless! Before long, a cluster of people made their way into the store.

As a boutique specialising in private designer brands, the store exuded the distinct personal flair of the designer.

Annie had a preference for elegant yet straightforward jewellery, showing an affinity for designs that displayed a harmonious sense of balance.

Maggie quietly scrutinised the layout of the entire brand store. Despite being a few years ahead of her past existence, the overall aesthetic remained remarkably consistent.

While designers frequently revamp their spaces, minimal changes have occurred in recent years, resulting in many aspects still aligning with her recollection.

The store boasted an overarching colour palette of black and white, with intricate layers of white lines evoking a contemporary vibe. Three-dimensional origami sculptures, frames, triangles, and other geometric shapes adorned the space, lending it the ambience of an art exhibition rather than a conventional jewellery store.

"Dear guests, welcto Annie's personal jewellery boutique. It's my pleasure to be of service to you. Please feel free to refer toas Emily." A young and captivating sales representative greeted them warmly.

"We admire Annie's designs very much. Our purpose here today is to pick out sjewellery for our loved ones, Joseph expressed in a soft and cordial manner.

"I'm glad you like Annie's designs. She'll be thrilled to hear that. Letintroduce you to her designs then," Emily said enthusiastically, her joy evident.

Although the store didn't boast the expansive space of major luxury brands, the jewellery on offer was diverse, reflecting a range of styles and types due to its delicate nature.

These display cases exhibit our classic collection, highlighting an array of luxurious gemstones coupled with diamonds. Take, for example, the Eternal Love collection and the Timeless collection...

Glancing downward, Maggie observed that the jewellery in the display case predominantly featured classic and understated styles. At first glance, she found herself particularly captivated by an emerald necklace." The entire necklace featured emerald gemstones as the main stones, with the centrepiece being an oval-shaped cabochon emerald. Surrounding the emerald were diamonds interspersed with small, pea-sized emeralds, emitting a radiant and immaculate appearance.

She also noticed another sapphire necklace, more modest than the one before. The necklace consisted of two parallel platinum chains linked by scattered diamonds forming a cross shape, with a square centrepiece stone, emitting a bright and lively aura.

"This one looks good too, Vanessa expressed, indicating that she had discovered her favourite piece and was eager to share her opinion.

"Miss, you have a great eye! This piece features an abstract design of a human face profile, with the red lips. adding a striking touch. It's sure to be a real head-turner when worn," Emily remarked, acknowledging Vanessa's astute observation.

After being praised and acknowledged, Vanessa couldn't help feeling proud, unconsciously casting a glance in Maggie's direction.

In that instant. Maggie stood before another display stand, exhibiting various pieces that appeared disconnected. Nonetheless, she recognised them as artworks Annie wasn't pleased with or had crafted during moments of creative stagnation.

"Maggie, what has captured your attention?” Noticing Maggie across the room, Vanessa motioned for Joseph Cameron to join her, intrigued to see if she had spotted something noteworthy.

"I'm sorry, esteemed customers, but these items are not available for sale to the public," Emily expressed her regret Vanessa was briefly surprised, as she hadn't anticipated coming across items on display that were unavailable for purchase.

Her eyes scanned the display, her thoughts whirling.

Usually, items not for sale are either exceptionally valuable or carry great significance. Given that these pieces were showcased but not up for sale, they likely were reserved for more distinguished individuals.

Immediately, Vanessa's mind started working on a plan.

"May I take a look at this sapphire necklace?" Vanessa asked, pointing to a necklace on the display case.

Even though the necklace wasn't available for purchase, Emily responded warmly, "Of course." Before long, Emily put on gloves and fetched the necklace along with a matching bracelet. Vanessa couldn't resist draping the necklace around her neck to see how it looked.

"Joseph, what's your opinion? I personally find this one really beautiful." Joseph furrowed his brow slightly, confused about her choice to try on a necklace that was not available for purchase.

Vanessa gently pulled at his sleeve, prompting Joseph to start piecing things together, "Not bad, indeed as dazzling as the myriad stars, it suits you well," Joseph praised earnestly.

Though he had acquired sfamiliarity with jewellery through years of buying and family discussions, he remained ignorant abour the intricacies of design.

I agree. This necklace, named 'Starry River, highlights a sapphire as the focal point, encircled by an array 2/3 BL, 18 May Chapter 131 You're Clueless! of scattered diamonds of varying sizes. The design is both distinctive and elaborate, Vanessa tried to sound more professional.

But regardless, flattery seemed to be the right approach.

"Maggie, what are your thoughts?" Vanessa turned to look at Maggie, secking her opinion.

Maggie's eyes were calm as she carefully examined the necklace in Vanessa's hand. She commented be gently, "I think it's missing something. If it's named Starry River, then what's the significance of the blue sapphire as the main stone? Additionally, the refractive index and transparency of the sapphire are not sufficient. Even though it's meant to resemble the Starry River, it feels imperfect to me." When she spoke, a woman with loose-fitting clothes, messy hair, and oversized black-framed glasses appeared by the railing on the second floor, clumsily gripping onto something while wearing high heels.

"Maggie, even if you have issues with me, intentionally opposing me, would you really joke about a designer's work?" Vanessa frowned, her tone icy as she clearly expressed her disapproval of Maggie's critique. "Maggie, now is not the moment for personal grudges or outbursts. If we can't secure Annie as the designer this time, I wonder how you'll explain it when we return home." Joseph's tone was firm as he addressed Maggie. Maggie pressed her lips together, her gaze chilling as she looked at Joseph. "Are you implying that one should pretend to be understood even when they don't? That one should commend something they find disagreeable? Joseph, pardon my frankness, but you're completely clueless!" "Maggie!" Joseph's face darkened slightly. He didn't expect her to be so disrespectful in front of others, even joking about family matters.

Seeing Maggie and Joseph arguing, Vanessa found it amusing, but she kept up a diplomatic front, suggesting, "Let's put it behind us.

om Maybe it's just a matter of differing viewpoints, and Jianing might not be well-versed in jewelry. There might be spersonal emotions involved."

With that, she promptly directed her attention to another bracelet on the counter. "This one is exquisite. The sun motif design exudes an air of mystery and antiquity, yet with a contemporary and bold flair. The yellow gemstone in the centre is also of excellent quality. What are your thoughts, Maggie?"
