Chapter 1083:
âJust who is Ms. Clarke? Is there anything in this world she canât do?â someone murmured in awe.
Another added, âYou realize that brooch is worth hundreds of thousands! And the most remarkable part is the design and craftsmanship.â
âSheâs a genius,â someone else exclaimed. âThis isnât just a brooch; itâs a masterpiece!â
The astonishment swept through the crowd, with whispers of admiration and disbelief filling the air.
Even Colton, who stood quietly among the onlookers, couldnât tear his eyes away from Allison. His mind drifted back to the time they were together. He had carelessly discarded so many of the things she had given him. Among them was a brooch.
At the time, he hadnât cared about the effort she had poured into creating each design, every detail painstakingly crafted, stroke by stroke. The thought hit him like a cold wave. He hadnât cared.
Now, Colton was in agony. It wasnât until this moment that he finally realized how deeply he had hurt her, the woman who once had given all her heart to him. Jealousy and possessiveness consumed him as he watched Kellan stand so confidently beside Allison.
On stage, Fabianâs enthusiastic voice cut through the room. âWonderful! This is the most exquisite brooch Iâve ever seen!â The cracks on the golden cheetahâs head had been repaired so flawlessly that not a single sign of breakage remained. Furthermore, Allisonâs clever addition of jade stripes not only concealed the damage but also enhanced the design.
âI must admit, at first, I thought the repair would fail,â Fabian continued, marveling at the piece in his hands. âA crack that big wouldâve left a visible flaw. But youâve taken an unconventional approach. Using small diamonds to outline the unrepairable areas and recutting the design â it now resembles the natural pattern on the golden leopardâs face. Itâs a stroke of genius!â

His admiration for Allisonâs expertise in jewelry was evident.
The shimmering diamonds formed a delicate halo around the golden cheetahâs head, giving it an ethereal, almost otherworldly allure under the banquet hallâs lights.
Fabian turned to Allison, his expression filled with respect and genuine admiration, and extended an invitation to her that shocked everyone. âMs. Clarke, would you consider joining my company?â
Allison was indeed eager to join Fabianâs venture, especially after the recent sighting of her mother at the Aröme Tower. Yet, it quickly became evident that Fabian was referring to another opportunity entirely.
âI was so swept up in excitement that I completely forgot youâre currently part of Charisma Company,â he said, realizing his mix-up, and smiled gently at Kellan. âI trust you wonât mind, Mr. Lloyd, but I have plans to open a jewelry business in Ontdale, and Iâd love for Ms. Clarke to join us as a special consultant,â he explained. âShe can continue her work at Charisma Company, visiting our new venture occasionally to share ideas and offer insights when her schedule permits.â
Fabian paused, his admiration for Allison clear. âAfter all, Iâve yet to meet anyone with such raw, remarkable design talent as Ms. Clarke, and that certainly sparked my enthusiasm.â
