Chapter 457

After the holidays, the newly established brand A&L of Astral Enterprises launched its SpringCollection, “Gleam & Shadow Love".

"You are the gleam in my life, and I am the shadow etched in your heart. Just as light casts ashadow, we too are inextricably intertwined.”

Under the illumination, jewelry sparkled with an extraordinary radiance. Between the interplay ofgleam and shadow, there lay an ancient tale, a mysterious indigenous symbol.

A&L was a brand exclusively for Aurelia. The brand name was coined by Leopold. At first, Aureliadidn't understand the meaning, but later she she recognized it as an amalgamation of their twonames.

What a cunning man!

As one of the most creative jewelry designers, Aurelia always exceeded expectations. Furthermore,her designs were highly sought after in an auction held earlier this year, which significantlyincreased their value.

The “Gleam & Shadow Love” collection may be pricey, but upon its release, it was an instant sell—out.

The Astral Enterprises official website and various e-commerce platforms urgently launched thesecond batch of pre-sale.

Limited editions also started their pre-sale.

For a while, social media platforms were flooded with videos showcasing the jewelry andspeculation about the secret behind Aurelia’s Gleam & Shadow Love design

In the CEO's office at Ethereal Gems.

Elvis called in Zina, the chief design officer, holding a “Gleam & Shadow Love" wedding ring that hisassistant had just managed to snag.

He turned off the office lights and shined a flashlight on the ring, and a brilliant light shone fromthe diamonds, reflecting on the wall. As the ring moved slightly, a mysterious pattern graduallyemerged from the intertwining light and shadow.

“This is astounding,” Elvis marveled, “I've never seen such an ingenious design before.”

Zina whispered, “The high-end products of the Gleam & Shadow Love series use diamondfragments, while the mid-range products use cubic zirconia. The arrangement of the diamonds iscrucial to create the effect. This requires the designer to have a profound understanding of opticsand physics, and also a masterful micro—carving artisan. I heard Aurelia even went to the factoryherself to train the artisans.”

She paused and lowered her voice, “The Gleam & Shadow Love series might be impossible toreplicate.”

Elvis glanced at her, “I never asked you to replicate Aurelia. Even if you could, I would rather youcome up with a unique design of your own, like this one. It doesn’t matter if we can't surpass thesales of Astral Enterprises, what's crucial is having our own unique creations at Ethereal Gems.”The pressure on Zina was immense, especially since Aurelia’s return.

“I will give it my all for this new collection.”

One morning, while Aurelia was having her breakfast, she received a message from Evelyn,[Something happened to Katie.]

She was taken aback, [What happened?]

[Last night, a dump truck hit Katie's Lamborghini, a gift from Leopold.]

[Was anyone hurt?]

[The driver jumped out at the last moment and someone was seriously injured and was in the ICU][Was it Katie?]

[No, it was her stunt double. The dump truck driver ran away, crossing the road, and got hit by a car.He died on the spot.]

A sharp chill flashed in Aurelia’s eyes, [Do you think it was just a traffic accident?]

[No way. It's clear that someone tried to kill Katie. She's carrying Leopold's child, and do you thinkMegan would let her off?]

Evelyn's thoughts echoed with Aurelia’s.

[Unfortunately with the driver dead, there's no way to prove anything.]

Evelyn sent an angry emoji, [The police found alcohol in his system and concluded it as a drunkdriving accident.]

Aurelia warned, [Megan likely has a powerful criminal group behind her. We need to be extracareful]

[Did they replace anything useful on her phone?]

[Not yet, but I suspect she has a secret phone somewhere. But it doesn’t matter, as long as shetakes the bait, we'll replace other ways.]
