Chapter 246


    Agnes had already nned 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 ufortable: “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 maniptive. I’ve seen enough tricks in the entertainment industry, don’t even think about


    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 essories 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[Thene 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 disyed earlier were being auctioned off one by one.


    The starting bids were over $100,000


    Some antique jewelry even shot up to millions of dors.


    Ava enviouslymented: “I wish someone would gift me a ne 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 nes beautiful, but to her, these luxuries were just embellishments. She had


    no obsession over them.


    In fact, she didn’t wear nes 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, thest 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 ne named “The Heart of the Kingdom” was rumored to be a beloved item of a queen. It’s not


    just a ruby ne, but also symbolizes supreme power and honor. Only a true queen deserves to


    own it.
