Chapter 246 Agnes had already planned to avoid her, Agnes responded: âItâs nothingâ
Then she was about to turn around and leave.
âHold on.â
Agnes turned back âWhatâs up?*
âAgnes, I donât care what Ivan promised you, but you better steer clear of him. Heâs been buddies with Jared for a long time. If you cause a rift between them, I wonât let you off the hook.â
Agnes felt uncomfortable: âWhy would they fall out because of me?â
Mamie strode over, her haughty and cold gaze scanning Agnes: âI canât figure out whatâs so alluring about you. But you better behave yourself. I canât stand women like you who appear innocent but are actually manipulative. Iâve seen enough tricks in the entertainment industry, donât even think about trying to outwit me.â
With that, Mamie strode off in her high heels.
Agnes was left puzzled.
She could tell that Mamie was hinting at something, but she had no clue what it was.
Since theyâd already argued, Agnes decided to head downstairs.
She took out her phone from her purse to text Jared.
All her accessories were sponsored by luxury brands, including the small bag in her hand, studded with expensive pink diamonds. It was worth a fortune.
So Agnes was extra careful.
So bored Agnes texted Jared.
In a while, Jared texted back[Then come back early, Iâll pick you up.]
[No can do, itâs work. But itâd be nice if you were here]
Agnes added a sighing emoji.
After waiting a while, Jared didnât text back.
Agnes figured he was probably working overtime and didnât want to disturb him.
At that moment, Ava came over. âAgnes, why are you here alone? The auction is about to start, letâs go watch together.â
Agnes went with Ava to another showroom.
The precious jewels displayed earlier were being auctioned off one by one.
The starting bids were over $100,000 Some antique jewelry even shot up to millions of dollars.
Ava enviously commented: âI wish someone would gift me a necklace like that one day. I bet wearing it would feel like being a British princess.â
Agnes teased her. âWearing such a heavy thing around your neck, arenât you tired?â
Ava rolled her eyes. âAgnes, youâre such a dummy!â
Agnes also found the necklaces beautiful, but to her, these luxuries were just embellishments. She had no obsession over them.
In fact, she didnât wear necklaces or bracelets unless necessary, feeling they were constricting.
The jewels were auctioned off one by one.
Mamie bought three pieces in a row, worth over $5 million in total, making everyone envious.
Finally, the last segment arrived.
The host announced âNow, for the most exciting part, I know youâre all eager. Letâs move to the second floor showroom to admire the top-tier jewelry âThe Heart of the Kingdom I hope your visit is worthwhile.â
Everyone perked up This necklace named âThe Heart of the Kingdomâ was rumored to be a beloved item of a queen. Itâs not just a ruby necklace, but also symbolizes supreme power and honor. Only a true queen deserves to own it.
