It was clear that everything changed after Chloe made that call.

Right beneath that announcement was a custom order for the Duchess of Cambridge, and Princess Tess. These three announcements were put together in a unique column, making it especially eye–catching on QUEEN’s official website.

Tara was beside herself with excitement. Holding her phone, her hands trembling, she brought it to Chloe. “Chloe, is that really me on there?”

Chloe smiled gently. “Of course, it’s you, Mom.”

Tears were about to spill from Tara’s eyes. Though she was a wealthy socialite, her influence was confined to the small town of Riverbrook. In bigger cities, she was practically a nobody.

She had always eyed high couture with envy, unable to secure an order even if she had the money. The Moncada family wasn’t wealthy enough to afford jewelry worth millions or even billions on a whim.

Now, her name appeared on the official website of a top global luxury jewelry brand. The feeling was indescribable. Her pride and vanity were satisfied to the fullest. It was a mix of disbelief, wonder, and a surreal dream. And, of course, there was a deep sense of emotion

and comfort.

Below that announcement, comments from all over the world had amassed, reaching tens of thousands in just a few minutes. Everyone was discussing who this Madame Tara could be, Some even speculated she might be a queen.

At that moment, Tara’s phone rang. It was Grace calling. Tara immediately answered.

Grace’s serious voice came through. “Good heavens, QUEEN’s official website just released a list of custom orders for Miss Y. Is that you, or just someone with the same name?”

“Chloe is so considerate. She says it’s a wedding anniversary gift for me…

“I told her she didn’t have to, but she insisted on giving such an expensive gift and even made Miss Y break her rule of only taking on five custom designs a year…

“Chloe is brilliant and so thoughtful… alright, alright, alright… I’ll host a dinner tomorrow… invite everyone…

“Call Mrs. Ford, Mrs. Ronda, Ms. Williams, all of them…

Tara was fully immersed in her phone call. The expressions around the table varied. Lucas watched Chloe with a complex gaze as if looking into a fog. Leah’s expression wasn’t pleasant either. Hearing Chloe call Tara “Mom” made her feel uncomfortable.

Plus, the fact that Chloe generously gifted Tara such an expensive bracelet and custom

else.

Moreover, she was surprised. How did Chloe have such connections now? She knew QUEEN’s designers and even their executives.

Of course, the one with the sourest face was Lisa. “Impossible, absolutely impossible! Chloe, what kind of trick are you playing on everyone?”

Chloe glanced at her lightly. “I might deceive people, but could I possibly control QUEEN’s global website? If I could, wouldn’t that mean you have to admit I’m even more impressive?” Lisa’s face turned from red to white and then to an ashen tone. Chloe watched Lisa’s face go through a gamut of expressions and calmly said, “Come on. Now, you must respect me, kneel, and call me queen”
