Chapter 246
Agnes had already planned to avoid her,
Agnes responded: “It’s nothing”
Then she was about to turn around and leave.
“Hold on.”
Agnes turned back “What’s up?*
“Agnes, I don’t care what Ivan promised you, but you better steer clear of him. He’s been buddies with
Jared for a long time. If you cause a rift between them, I won’t let you off the hook.”
Agnes felt uncomfortable: “Why would they fall out because of me?”
Mamie strode over, her haughty and cold gaze scanning Agnes: “I can’t figure out what’s so alluring
about you. But you better behave yourself. I can’t stand women like you who appear innocent but are
actually manipulative. I’ve seen enough tricks in the entertainment industry, don’t even think about Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
trying to outwit me.”
With that, Mamie strode off in her high heels.
Agnes was left puzzled.
She could tell that Mamie was hinting at something, but she had no clue what it was.
Since they’d already argued, Agnes decided to head downstairs.
She took out her phone from her purse to text Jared.
All her accessories were sponsored by luxury brands, including the small bag in her hand, studded with
expensive pink diamonds. It was worth a fortune.
So Agnes was extra careful.
So bored Agnes texted Jared.
In a while, Jared texted back[Then come back early, I’ll pick you up.]
[No can do, it’s work. But it’d be nice if you were here]
Agnes added a sighing emoji.
After waiting a while, Jared didn’t text back.
Agnes figured he was probably working overtime and didn’t want to disturb him.
At that moment, Ava came over. “Agnes, why are you here alone? The auction is about to start, let’s go
watch together.”
Agnes went with Ava to another showroom.
The precious jewels displayed earlier were being auctioned off one by one.
The starting bids were over $100,000
Some antique jewelry even shot up to millions of dollars.
Ava enviously commented: “I wish someone would gift me a necklace like that one day. I bet wearing it
would feel like being a British princess.”
Agnes teased her. “Wearing such a heavy thing around your neck, aren’t you tired?”
Ava rolled her eyes. “Agnes, you’re such a dummy!”
Agnes also found the necklaces beautiful, but to her, these luxuries were just embellishments. She had
no obsession over them.
In fact, she didn’t wear necklaces or bracelets unless necessary, feeling they were constricting.
The jewels were auctioned off one by one.
Mamie bought three pieces in a row, worth over $5 million in total, making everyone envious.
Finally, the last segment arrived.
The host announced “Now, for the most exciting part, I know you’re all eager. Let’s move to the second
floor showroom to admire the top-tier jewelry “The Heart of the Kingdom I hope your visit is
worthwhile.”
Everyone perked up
This necklace named “The Heart of the Kingdom” was rumored to be a beloved item of a queen. It’s not
just a ruby necklace, but also symbolizes supreme power and honor. Only a true queen deserves to
own it.
