Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 551

The continuous stream of praise completely satisfied Helena's lifelong vanity and obsession.

Her expression relaxed even further, her posture growing more ostentatious.

Helena moved to the next cabinet, her gaze falling on the Crimson Heirloom Bracelet.

"This Crimson Heirloom Bracelet is a royal collection piece from ten years ago. I won it at a high price from a private auction in Europe.

Senior collectors in the circle know that this kind of heirloom ruby is a hard currency that appreciates every year. It's a foundational treasure you can only come across by chance."

The surrounding socialites nodded in amazement, whispering their endless admiration, their eyes full of envy.

Helena thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere.

She then pointed to the center of the stage and the matching sapphire set she wore around her neck.

"The rarest is this Royal Windsor Sapphire set, which is also the grand finale of all my collections today.

It was once the private jewelry of a European princess, passed down for nearly a century. Both its craftsmanship and the gemstone's condition are textbook perfect.

I traded three of my prized jewelry pieces just to get it from a seasoned collector.

Let alone in this country, you couldn't find a second complete set of the same caliber anywhere in the global collecting world."

Helena held nothing back, fully displaying the vision, wealth, and foundation she had built over half her life to everyone present.

The waves of flattery rose and fell, completely filling her vanity.

Meanwhile, by the side of the stage, Celeste sat quietly in her wheelchair.

Her posture was humble and proper, looking entirely calm and composed, playing the part of an attentive younger generation.

But no one knew that beneath her calm and obedient facade, her mind was in turmoil.

Though Celeste's body remained seated.

Her thoughts had already wandered off with the wealthy women crowding around Helena's display cases.

She pricked up her ears, listening carefully to everyone's discussions.

Her eyes didn't dare miss a single subtle expression.

It was only when all she heard was praise and no one noticed anything unusual.
