Chapter 598

Sharon replied in a haste. “Exactly! Kaleb, put the box away now. Be careful with this preciousheirloom.” A weight had been lifted off her chest upon Mia’s refusal. Otherwise, she doubted that shecould rest well

tonight.

This was their family heirloom. How could Timothy act so flippantly by giving it away to someone like

Mia?

Laura let out a subtle sigh, and immediately proceeded with easing the atmosphere. “Alright, everyone.

Let’s dig in!”

The guests played along, giving no heed to the awkwardness lingering in the air. The tiara stillremained

the center of

f conversation for certain guests. Their tone was laced with envy and desire as they spoke.

expressing how fortunate Timothy’s future bride would be.

One of them showered Sharon with flattery. “You’ll inherit the tiara eventually, and some lucky girl in the

future will get it as well!”

Sharon’s spirits were lifted. “My daughter–in–law has to be from a prominent family as well! Shedoesn’t

deserve my son if she’s a peasant.” She chanced a glance at Mia again.

She might be the daughter of the Lane family, but there were plenty of girls coveting Timothy as well.

Sharon suddenly detested the idea of letting Timothy remarry Mia. Judging by how arrogant the Lanes.were, she could already picture Mia having full control over her in the future. She wouldn’t let thathappen.

Another guest chimed in instantly, “Then isn’t Ms. Lane the right match?”

Sharon’s expression shifted as she faltered. “Well, she sort of is, but she has to abide by the Barrett

family rules once she marries into our family.”

A hint of scorn flickered across Mia’s features. She was aware that Sharon’s implications were directed

at her, but the last thing she’d want right now was to remarry Timothy.

a smile at Sharon. “Mrs. Barrett, we appreciate your hospitality toward

Mia in the past three years as well. Our gratitude for you is beyond words!”

Sharon’s expression stiffened as she stammered, “I–I might have been quite strict with Mia back then.

but I did it for her sake.”

Another guest, Tabitha, chimed in servilely, “Exactly. It’s not easy being the daughter–in–law of a

prominent family.”

Just then, all the Lane brothers strode up to Mia, fixating their gaze at Sharon and the other socialites.Tabitha immediately rephrased her words amidst the rising tension. “But Mia’s already brilliant to beginwith. She didn’t accept the gift earlier–that says a lot about her excellent mannerisms.”

“Yeah! Ms. Lane, the jewelry you’re wearing is extremely lavish as well.”

Sharon’s gaze drifted toward Mia’s necklace, but she couldn’t tell what was so special about it. Anothersocialite approached Mia, saying. “I’ve noticed it for some time. Ms. Lane, are you wearing the piece ofjewelry worn by Queen Elizabeth herself before?”

Astonished, Mia threaded her fingers through her necklace. She knew it wasn’t cheap, but she didn’texpect its staggering value.

A pang of jealousy surged in Sharon’s chest. She’d participated in several similar auctions, yet it was adaunting task to bid Queen Elizabeth’s jewelry since they were highly coveted.

Little did Sharon expect Mia to obtain it with a breeze, easily surpassing the value of the jewelry she

wore.
