Lisa couldn't help but feel a little triumphant inside. She'd definitely hitched her wagon to the right star. If Chloe kept harping on about this, she'd just come off as petty and waste everyone's time, turning them against her. Lisa wondered how Chloe would deal with that. Chloe's expression didn't change a bit. In fact, a tiny smile tugged at her lips. "I get what you're saying, Ms. Claire. You don't kick a dog without thinking about its owner. Since Lisa is your loyal pup, I suppose these few barks don't really matter." With that, Chloe turned and graciously said to David, "Let's get back to the auction."

David stepped up on stage and asked the guests to take their seats. Claire had been hoping for a bit of a showdown with Chloe. She hadn't expected her to agree so easily. It was like punching air. Sure, Claire got what she wanted, but she was still oddly unsatisfied. But nobody was more upset than Lisa. Even though Chloe didn't make her bark like a dog, being publicly labeled as Claire's pet left a mark. The way everyone looked at her was full of disdain and contempt, as if she'd truly become a nobody's dog.

Lisa was boiling inside. Reluctantly, she slinked back to the outskirts of the gathering. Watching Chloe at the center of the room, basking in attention, Lisa's resentment was almost tangible.

Finally, David took the stage. The previous display podium had disappeared, leaving only a single stand in its place, still empty. The crowd shifted between confusion and anticipation. With excitement, Mr. David announced, "The Queen's Tear, designed by the brilliant MISSY, is truly a wonder of the jewelry world. Now, let's welcome Mr. Grant to unveil its mystery..."

Grant stepped up for the second time, greeted by spontaneous

applause. Eyes filled with

anticipation, many guests couldn't help but stand, eager to witness the unveiling of The Queen's Tear.

Grant stood beside the display. As he placed his hand on the glass, a sparkling piece of jewelry slowly came into view. The display stand and the big screen behind the stage synced up.

The holographic display offered a 3D, magnified view of the jewelry, revealing every intricate detail. The audience collectively held their breath, many rising to their feet.

Though they'd seen MISS Y's design

sketches online and had been

wowed, the final piece was still breathtaking. A rare 392-carat Kashmir sapphire, perfectly shaped like a teardrop, nestled within a brilliantly cut diamond tassel necklace.

It shimmered with a bright, dazzling blue tinged with purple, like a queen awakening from a long slumber, opening her majestic blue eyes, elegant and regal, radiating a stunning brilliance.

"This truly is a marvel of the jewelry world. I'm completely captivated."

"MISS Y is phenomenal; it's like she breathed life into this gem. Its beauty is unimaginable."

"I need to own this masterpiece today, no matter what it takes."
