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.
