    Chapter 207


    Dear guests, please move forward in an orderly manner, pay attention to safety, and avoid stepping on


    each other. We are all excited for this moment, but please remember: Safety first. Please put away


    your phones. No photography is allowed, as the sh will affect the disy of the Luminous Pearl. We


    have a professional camera crew that will record the entire process and share it with you afterwards.”


    So, the Luminous Pearl was about to be disyed.


    Celeste couldn’t help but move forward, with Liam following closely behind.


    When all phones were turned off, the lights above gradually went out, leaving only the faint red light of


    the infrared surveince and the green light from the emergency exit.


    The room were pitch ck, and people couldn’t see each other’s faces even if they were close.


    Thank you for your cooperation,” the host’s voice sounded again. “Now, let’s have our staff remove the


    cover and enjoy this treasure that has been sealed for more than two thousand years”


    As the cover was removed, a faint light emerged, and it gradually spread out. When the cover was


    completely removed, a soft purple light enveloped the stage, emanating from a tennis ball-sized pearl


    inside the ss cover.


    The room gasped.


    Although everyone had seen Luminous Pearls before, most of what they’ve seen were green or yellow-


    white. This pale purple light was extremely rare.


    People who were far away couldn’t see clearly and squeezed forward.


    Celeste was pushed around in the crowd. Someone quickly supported her, shielding her between the


    disy case and himself.


    Liam was really something today, knowing to protect her. Was it because what she had just said made


    him feel guilty?


    The host introduced the origin of the Luminous Pearl on stage while people around continued to


    squeeze forward, bumping into Celeste from time to time. At this point, she had to lean back.


    Feeling Celeste leaning, Liam stiffened and unconsciously stepped back, keeping the distance


    between them.


    Celeste frowned. What was up with this guy? Why did he get all cuddly with her before if he didn’t want


    her to be close to him?


    She gritted her teeth and leaned even closer to him, but Liam still tried to avoid her. Annoyed, Celeste


    wrapped her arms around his waist, “If you push me away, I’ll tell grandma you have a mistress outside


    and want to divorce me!”


    Liam stopped dodging her.


    Celeste maintained this position while watching the Luminous Pearl on stage.


    The pearl emitted a beautiful glow, and the host on stage calmly exined its origin.


    It turned out that Krista saw it at an auction and then spent 8 million dors to buy it.

    To allow audiences from all over the country to appreciate the beauty of the Luminous Pearl, an


    exhibition would be held every mid-month, and it would be officially donated to the National Museum at


    the end of the year.


    After listening for a while, Celeste finally understood that the exhibition of the Luminous Pearl was just


    a gimmick. It’s real purpose was to attract people to the exhibition and sell jewelry.


    The jewelry sales alone tonight should far exceed the money spent on buying this pearl. If they hold ten


    more exhibitions like this one, they can make enough money to buy dozens of pearls. Now that I think


    about it, Mr. Fletcher’s aunt and you are quite simr, both heartless business people”


    The person being hugged suddenly froze, and Liam’s voice came from behind. “Celeste, who are you


    talking to?”


    Celeste was taken aback. The voice wasing from behind?


    Liam was at the back?


    Then who the heck was she hugging?
