Applause erupted. The next item to go on auction was still from Taylor Jewelry. After a few items, the highest price for jewelry from Taylor was $263,000,000, far more than any other item. The screen showed a peacock blue necklace next. When Kennedy saw it, he nervously looked toward Maisie. Helios, who seemed to have noticed his gaze, looked toward Maisie through the corner of his eyes too. Seller: Willow VanderbiltThe crowd booed and whispered among themselves. The sellers here were either well-known companies or famous jewelry designers. Willow was a name that many did not recognize. Only a few people had followed the ‘drama’ on Twitter and learned about her fiasco with Ms. Santiago.However, the item on the screen was pretty unique.The peacock blue necklace had a brilliant teardrop-shaped sapphire. The melee blue diamonds on the tail of the peacock were a beautiful addition. This item was ‘Peacock’s Pride’ that Maisie had designed. Too bad Willow just copied the
That meant that there were two ‘Peacock’s Pride’.That was the first time a situation like this had occurred at Summerton. “Would the international designer copy someone’s work?”“They’re a world-renowned designer. Why would they plagiarize? It was probably the new designer Willow who plagiarized.”The discussion grew louder and louder. Larissa waved for one of the bodyguards to approach, whispered something to him, and he left. The bodyguard said something to the crew, and the crew made an announcement. “I’m sorry, we are facing some technical issues. I’m afraid we need to put the auction on hold. We suspect that one of the items has been plagiarized, so we’ll launch an investigation immediately.”“So it really was plagiarism?”“It’s so rare for plagiarized items to show up at an auction,” someone said out loud. The two items were placed on stage, and an appraiser was asked to do an appraisal. If there really was plagiarizing, it would be a huge problem. Helios looked
‘Maybe it’s because of the incident at the Michelin restaurant?’Louis’ words changed Willow’s expression.Fortunately, Larissa did not say anything, which made her calm down a little.The price on the screen stopped at $266,000,000!And the last person to tender a bid was Madam Nera from the Peach Room.Maisie was surprised and curiously looked at the distinguished guest of the Peach Room. The person who was sitting at the window turned out to be Madam Nera!The price that had stopped rose again to $282,000,000 abruptly!The audience was astounded.The auctioneer was stunned for a moment and then slowly said, “Congratulations to the distinguished guests from the Stork Room located on the second floor…”Maisie turned her head and looked at Helios. “Mr. Boucher, you...”Helios gave off a faint smile. “A brilliant masterpiece is worth the price.”Madam Nera frowned when she looked at the person who was sitting in the Stork Room.‘It turns out to be that kiddo from the Boucher
“Sometimes, I really dislike the things that come out of your mouth.”“Then don’t kiss me.”Nolan did not expect that she would say so. He frowned and pinched her chin. “You’re the one who’s asking for it.”He sealed her lips with his immediately.Maisie resisted a little in his arms, but she was suddenly crushed tightly by him. He then lowered his voice and stared at her passionately and greedily. “Don’t move around. Do you want this to turn into something even deeper?”Maisie did not say a single word.“Mr. Goldman.” Quincy’s voice came from outside the door.Maisie quickly got up and away from him.‘This man is really too contemptible!’Quincy pushed the door, came in, and said, “Mr. Goldman, Madam Nera from the Peach Room invites you and Ms. Vanderbilt… to go over to her room.”Maisie and Nolan walked out of the Bamboo Room and ran into the Lucas family and Willow in the corridor.When Willow saw that Nolan was still holding Maisie’s hand, her eyes could not help but tur
Probably because Madam Nera had underestimated Maisie before this, the former felt rather embarrassed because she had almost made a bad judgment.However, she still had to maintain her reputation, so she said proudly, “So, get Kennedy to come over tomorrow to renew the contract. I’ll share my tanzanite supply chain with you, but in return, don’t let me down.”Maisie laughed. “Yes, Madam Nera.”Nolan stared at Maisie, who Madam Nera deeply appreciated.‘Although this woman likes to play tricks, she was able to obtain Madam Nera’s recognition without any assistance from anyone. It’s difficult to dislike her independent and tough temperament.’However, Nolan also felt very defeated and frustrated deep down because his woman did not want to rely on him!…#Zora Outclassed New Designer Willow Vanderbilt#After the two identical auction items had been announced at the Summerton Auction Hall last night, Zora and Willow had successfully secured themselves a spot on Google Trends.It w
‘How could they have manuscripts that look exactly like Freddy’s!? And the date when the manuscripts were created is earlier than those Freddy gave me!’“Willie, what the hell is going on?” Leila started acting fidgety.Willow quickly took out her cell phone to call Freddy but could not reach him because his cell phone had been turned off.She was stupefied at that moment.‘It must be Freddy’s doing!’She immediately issued a clarification, pushed all the blame on Freddy, and claimed that Freddy Fuller was one of Hailey & Co. Jewelry's designers.However, Hailey & Co. Jewelry posted a statement on Twitter within a few hours.#Hailey & Co. Jewelry Official#: Hailey & Co. Jewelry doesn’t have a designer whose name is Freddy Fuller, and we’ve never cooperated with @Vaenna Jewelry. A gentle reminder, all companies should remember to keep their eyes wide open and get to the bottom of all collaboration details before they enter a collaboration with other companies.Hailey & Co.

Nolan’s gaze landed on her computer’s monitor, which happened to be showing the video of Stephen's apology.He frowned and placed his hands on her shoulders.But when his fingertips touched her skin, she trembled from head to toe as if an electric current traveled through her body.The man stood behind her and kneaded her shoulders gently for her. Anyone would definitely suffer from a jaw-drop if they were to witness this scene.The exceptionally regal Mr. Goldmann would actually give someone else a massage?Nolan suddenly suggested indifferently, “Do you want me to accompany you back to the Vanderbilt manor for a meal?”“I’m sorry, but the Vanderbilts don’t welcome me. You should go to Willow if you’re looking for a free meal— Ugh!”‘It hurts! This dbag is actually giving it all he has!’Nolan leaned over and approached her ear. “I know that you’re jealous of Willow, but I’ve never taken the initiative to go back to the Vanderbilt manor with Willow before this. Judging solely
A glimmer of sulkiness flashed across Willow’s eyes.Willow’s face was pale. “Aunty, I know I’m inferior to my mother. You should also know that my mother died when I was very young. I—”“Alright.” There was a hint of impatience in Larissa’s eyes. "Just behave yourself and keep your nose clean in the future, don’t embarrass your mother. Your grandfather will definitely not like your over-compliant personality.“The women of the de Arma family always have to be tough. But judging from how you’re carrying yourself, you’ll never amount to anything.”“Understood,” Willow responded while clenching her fist.‘D*mn it, if it wasn’t for the identity and status that I’ll get from being the daughter of the de Armas, why would I stay here and take all this nonsense from her?’“You can go back now if there’s nothing else. I’m tired and need to get some rest already.” Larissa got up from the couch and went upstairs.Willow came out of the Lucas family's mansion with a solemn face. Madam Luca
