Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 871

Aurelia’s face burned as she stood there in shame.

Carmella got up and around the long table to slowly make her way to Aurelia. She pointed at one of the garments and told her, “This is one of the gold-couching techniques. The raw material for the gold thread used here comes from a neighboring country of Southeast Aciatic. The annual yield isn’t a lot, so it’s very precious.
