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

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