Chapter 666
Claire couldn't care less. But she sure wasn't going to let Chloe get away with it easily. After dropping a cool billion on jewelry she didn't even end up with, only to donate it under the QUEEN's name, there was no chance she'd let that slide without a fight.
With a sly laugh, Claire said, "Ms. Chloe, you've got it wrong. I don't want it. I'd rather pass it along to someone else. Just hand the jewelry over to her, would you?"
"Lisa, come on up."

Claire called Lisa's name, not even bothering to look her way. Chloe and Connor thought they'd cornered her with this setup, but she wasn't about to let them have the last laugh. The money was nothing to her-she tossed the billion-dollar treasure to Lisa like it was pocket change.
For Claire, it was about making a point. First, it showed her utter disregard for the jewelry. Second, it was a flashy way to flaunt her wealth in front of the world's elite. But above all, she was well aware of the dynamics between Chloe and Lisa.
The Queen's Tears was Missy's crown jewel, her most treasured and valuable masterpiece. And Claire was intent on treating it like rubbish, tossing it to someone who couldn't tell a diamond from a rock. That's how you really get under a designer's skin.
The crowd was gobsmacked.
Nobody saw it coming-Claire
gifting away & billion-dollar gem like it was no big deal. Everyone was familiar with Ms. Chloe's antics. She was clueless about jewelry, just a loudmouth with no class. Her getting this piece was a travesty. And it was clear there was bad blood between Missy and that lady. Giving her the jewelry was sure to mess with Missy's head.
But Lisa? She was on cloud nine. For a second, she couldn't believe her luck. Claire was really handing her a billion-dollar piece of bling. A billion! Can you imagine?! This was one of the priciest pieces on the pl. Something the world's wealthiest couldn't snag was now hers. It was like a fairy tale. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
In that moment, Lisa couldn't care less about who designed it or what beef Chloe had. Whether Chloe was Missy didn't matter anymore. All she could think about was that billion-dollar windfall. A billion dollars, literally falling into her lap!
Stunned for a few seconds, Lisa finally sprang into action, rushing to the stage. She was so eager she nearly took a tumble on the stairs. Claire watched with disdain, but what choice did she have right now?
Chloe's face remained unreadable, not a flicker of anger. This left Claire a bit let down.
Lisa stood next to Chloe, smugness radiating off her, eyes dancing with mischief. “Chloe, hand over the Queen's Tears, will you? Thanks for crafting such a stunning piece for me."
Lisa felt like she was living her best
et
life, even more electrifying than almost winning that Paris Design Contest back in the day. Chloe's pride and joy were hers now. A billion bucks in her pocket. Top-tier financiers and even royals could only watch from below, green with envy. She felt like she was on top of the world, finally in the spotlight, looking down on everyone else. Even the holographic screen behind the stage was zoomed in on her face, the entire world fixated on her at that very moment!
