Chapter 198 Orion’s Gift
Orion had already been one of the event’s focal points. His presence naturally drew a lot of attention.
To make matters even more intriguing, he was accompanied by three bodyguards. Each of them carried a finely crafted and costly gift box.
Seraphina frowned.
Her mood quickly plummets as her cheerfulness from earlier is gone.
Three gifts
Someone nearby couldn’t help but comment, “Mr. Dros is really generous, isn’t he? Three gifts at once?”
Seraphina pursed her lips slightly, a hint of disdain showing.
She wasn’t exactly eager to receive gifts from Orion.
If anything, she felt more inclined to throw them back in his face.
Giving her gifts in front of everyone–was he trying to trap her into accepting them?
She stared at the boxes in front of her, secretly clenching her teeth.
Sensing the tension, Sarah stepped forward with a smile. “Why don’t you open them first and see what’s inside? If Seraphina doesn’t like them, she can just refuse.”
Olivia chimed in, “Exactly!”
She leaned in closer to Seraphina and whispered, “If it’s valuable, we could always sell it. No need to waste good money, right?”
Seraphina lowered her eyes slightly and smirked. “Alright then, let’s see what’s inside.”
The crowd gathered around, eager to see what Orion had brought.
After all, any gift from Orion was bound to be impressive.
Orion stood calmly. His tall figure appeared even more striking under the harsh lighting. He was distant and indifferent.
Seraphina casually walked over and opened one of the boxes.
Inside was a diamond necklace with a design that echoed the grandeur of ancient Mecrar. It was a masterpiece of craftsmanship, with large, pale sapphire diamonds set in a silver casing where the gem. sparkled brilliantly.
The necklace was both exquisite and mysterious, as if it had traversed centuries of history to arrive in her
hands.
The moment she saw it, she felt the weight of history embedded in its design and materials.
In that instant, the value of the diamond necklace soared to an almost unimaginable level in her mind.

Chapter 198 Orion’s Gift
Seraphina’s eyes shrank in shock.
She had seen many diamonds before; those that could be considered world–class were already rare.
Yet all of them paled in comparison to the one on this necklace.
Finished
Sarah stepped forward in shock. She gasped and asked, “Isn’t this the Tears of Venus? Is this a collection of classic pieces from the Oclianian royal family?”
Seraphina was shocked, as she suddenly recalled seeing a photo of it in a magazine. Hadn’t she once commented on how beautiful it was?
A Snoigro general claimed this treasure from the Tustistan Palace after the fall of the Oclianian monarchy. Felipe executed that general, causing the necklace to disappear until it reappeared at an auction. A private collector purchased it for a staggering sum.
Was that collector Orion? Is Orion now presenting it to Seraphina?
“Seraphina, does Orion still need an ex–wife?” Olivia whispered mischievously, so quietly that only the two of them could hear.
She gazed admiringly at the necklace. If someone gave her something like this, she’d be willing to be an ex–wife.
Seraphina snapped out of her shock, casting a cold glance at her friend Olivia, who had no sense of loyalty.
She retorted quietly, “Haha! His ex–wife would have to drain her blood just to escape the misery of marriage.”
Olivia shrank back and conceded, “Alright, maybe not a good idea.”
Their quiet exchange did not escape Orion’s notice.
He narrowed his eyes slightly but remained expressionless,
Meanwhile, the crowd continued to marvel at the stunning appearance of the necklace.
“Money no longer serves as a measure for something so precious.”
