Chapter 339: What a Joke!

They had brought out the Tears of the Rose and the Starlight Sapphire, yet were they still inferior to

Claire Donovan? This thought propelled both women toward the third exhibit. As they made their way

through the crowded area, their gaze fell upon a diamond necklace, leaving them momentarily

stunned…

A diamond necklace?

Sure, the centerpiece diamond seemed quite large, possibly around seven carats, surrounded by

smaller diamonds. But it seemed incomparable in value to their Tears of the Rose and Starlight

Sapphire.

“Bursting into laughter, Sasha Felix was the first to react. She pointed at the diamond necklace on

display, barely containing her mirth, “Seriously, Claire Donovan thinks she can win with this

necklace? Has she lost her mind?”

Mia Ashworth couldn’t help but sneer, “Winning with this diamond? What a joke!”

Almost immediately after their remarks, a girl who had been studying the necklace with a frown

suddenly exclaimed, “Ah!” Covering her mouth with one hand and pointing at the necklace with the

other

she cried out in astonishment, “Isn’t this the winning piece from the Charm Designers‘

Competition?”

Her words triggered a wave of excited murmurs.

“Yes, I thought it looked familiar! It’s indeed the champion piece from the Charm Designers‘

Competition!”

“Wow, that’s incredible! It’s really the pinnacle of jewelry design, isn’t it?”

Hearing the rising chorus of admiration, Mia Ashworth and Sasha Felix’s faces fell. They hadn’t

anticipated Claire Donovan would bring a competition–winning piece to the exhibit. It felt almost

like a direct challenge.

The purpose of the jewelry exhibition was to showcase each company’s proudest creation, reflecting

the strength of different nationalities and companies in the industry. It was more than a showcase; it

was a competition among the designers from various countries and companies.

The purpose of the jewelry exhibition was to showcase each company’s proudest creation, reflecting

the strength of different nationalities and companies in the industry. It was more than a showcase;

it was a competition among the designers from various countries and companies.

With Claire Donovan’s move, if the competition were solely based on design, who could outshine her

Mia Ashworth’s face turned a shade paler, looking bitterly at the necklace. But then, glancing at her

own Tears of the Rose, her anger subsided. No matter how extraordinary Claire Donovan’s design was

the intrinsic value of the diamond necklace was evident. It wouldn’t fetch a price higher than its

actual worth.

With a smug curl of her lips, she scoffed, “Pretty as it may be, those diamonds aren’t worth much,

maybe a few tens of millions at most.”

Hearing Mia’s words, Sasha Felix’s mood slightly improved. Her Starlight Sapphire was worth over a

hundred million. How could this mere diamond necklace surpass her piece? “Absolutely,” she said,

tapping the display with a hint of disdain. “To think it’s placed after ours, I wonder what the

organizers were thinking.”

The exhibition attracted worldly and affluent guests from various nations – tycoons, high society

ladies, and heiresses. Hearing Mia Ashworth and Sasha Felix’s remarks, some nodded in agreement,

while others frowned in dissatisfaction. The girl who had recognized the necklace earlier glared at

them, her eyes blazing with fury. “What do you know? This necklace is a COCO design, handcrafted b

her! You must realize, in this world, there are only two creations handcrafted by COCO. One is this

necklace here, and the other…”

She paused, her lips curling into a sardonic smile as she looked at Mia and Sasha, leaving her

sentence hanging and piquing everyone’s curiosity. “What’s the other one?” someone eagerly asked.

Her smile widened, her voice rising theatrically, “The other is The Empress‘ Scepter!”

Gasps and exclamations of awe filled the air.

“Oh my!”

“Can you believe it?”

“I’m going crazy over this!”

As her words settled, a wave of renewed interest swept over the crowd, their gazes returning to the

diamond necklace with even more intensity.

“This means the design and craftsmanship value of this necklace is almost on par with The Empress‘

Scepter?” someone questioned aloud.

“How is that possible!” Mia Ashworth’s face flushed with rage. “It’s just an ordinary diamond

necklace! How dare you compare it to The Empress‘ Scepter?”

Sasha Felix nodded in agreement, “You can’t seriously believe that just because COCO touched a

stone

it turns to gold?”

The crowd’s attention shifted to them, confusion and bewilderment evident in their eyes. The girl,

her eyes glinting with scorn, addressed them, “Whether it’s a diamond, ruby, or sapphire, in essence,

they’re just stones. Without ingenious and lavish design, they’re nothing. Their true value lies in

the soul the designers breathe into them, brought to life through meticulous craftsmanship.”

Pointing at the necklace’s pendant, she challenged, “If we gave you this diamond, could you make it

as breathtaking as it is now?”

Mia Ashworth and Sasha Felix’s faces turned shades of red and white, their expressions a mix of

embarrassment and anger. As jewelers themselves, how could they undermine the importance of desig

Isn’t that why they tirelessly seek renowned international designers – to showcase the most beautiful

aspects of the jewels and add value through the designers‘ fame?

Their earlier comments sounded naive, something only an outsider would say. True insiders would

never

utter such words.

But Mia Ashworth couldn’t let this girl glorify Claire Donovan’s necklace unchallenged. Narrowing her

eyes, she retorted with a sneer after a moment, “And who might you be? Surely not a plant hired by

COCO?”

“Is she a plant?
