Chapter 339: What a Joke!
They had brought out the Tears of the Rose and the Starlight Sapphire, yet were they still inferior to
ire 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 ne, leaving them momentarily
stunned…
A diamond ne?
Sure, the centerpiece diamond seemed quiterge, possibly around seven carats, surrounded by
smaller diamonds. But it seemed iparable in value to their Tears of the Rose and Starlight
Sapphire.
“Bursting intoughter, Sasha Felix was the first to react. She pointed at the diamond ne on
disy, barely containing her mirth, “Seriously, ire Donovan thinks she can win with this
ne? 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 ne with a frown
suddenly eximed, “Ah!” Covering her mouth with one hand and pointing at the ne 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 ire Donovan would bring apetition–winning piece to the exhibit. It felt almost
like a direct challenge.
The purpose of the jewelry exhibition was to showcase eachpany’s proudest creation, reflecting
the strength of different nationalities andpanies in the industry. It was more than a showcase; it
was apetition among the designers from various countries andpanies.

The purpose of the jewelry exhibition was to showcase eachpany’s proudest creation, reflecting
the strength of different nationalities andpanies in the industry. It was more than a showcase;
it was apetition among the designers from various countries andpanies.
With ire Donovan’s move, if thepetition were solely based on design, who could outshine her
Mia Ashworth’s face turned a shade paler, looking bitterly at the ne. But then, ncing at her
own Tears of the Rose, her anger subsided. No matter how extraordinary ire Donovan’s design was
the intrinsic value of the diamond ne 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 ne surpass her piece? “Absolutely,” she said,
tapping the disy with a hint of disdain. “To think it’s ced after ours, I wonder what the
organizers were thinking.”
The exhibition attracted worldly and affluent guests from various nations – tycoons, high society
while others frowned in dissatisfaction. The girl who had recognized the ne earlier red at
them, her eyes zing with fury. “What do you know? This ne is a COCO design, handcrafted b
her! You must realize, in this world, there are only two creations handcrafted by COCO. One is this
ne 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 exmations 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 ne with even more intensity.
“This means the design and craftsmanship value of this ne 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
ne! How dare youpare 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 andvish 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 ne’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 earlierments sounded naive, something only an outsider would say. True insiders would
never
utter such words.
But Mia Ashworth couldn’t let this girl glorify ire Donovan’s ne unchallenged. Narrowing her
eyes, she retorted with a sneer after a moment, “And who might you be? Surely not a nt hired by
COCO?”
“Is she a nt?
