Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time (by Zora Pradeep) novel Chapter 493

**Freedom 493**

**Chapter 493**

Sophia found herself captivated by the diamond ring, its brilliance drawing her in like a moth to a flame. Each time she glanced at it, she felt a rush of excitement, a flicker of hope that perhaps this could be the perfect piece for her collection. Yet, as she turned her gaze toward Julia, a wave of reality washed over her. Julia’s expression was one of calm detachment, almost as if the ring were a mere trinket—beneath her notice, beneath her standards. In that instant, Sophia realized that Julia deemed this ring unworthy of her attention.

Of course, Julia would think that way.

Since the moment Julia had crossed paths with Franklin, her life had transformed into a parade of luxury. Each gift she received was a testament to the highest quality, the best of the best. Franklin had reportedly spent a jaw-dropping sum on a top-tier diamond for his upcoming proposal, a fact that loomed large in Sophia’s mind. In stark contrast, the diamond adorning this ring seemed almost trivial.

As these thoughts swirled in her mind, the sales associate, noticing the opulent attire of both women, rushed over with an eager smile. Her enthusiasm was palpable, as if she were about to unveil the secrets of the universe.

“If you’re interested in diamond rings, we have even more exquisite pieces right this way. Please, allow me to show you!”

Julia, however, was not swayed. Her lack of interest was evident, and her desire to continue browsing had evaporated. Yet, Sophia felt a spark of curiosity igniting within her, compelling her to follow the associate, hand in hand with Isabella, who was blissfully unaware of the adult dynamics at play.

The store was a treasure trove of jewelry, with pieces that could easily fetch over a million dollars. As the associate guided them through the glimmering displays, one diamond necklace caught Sophia’s eye, its center stone radiating an irresistible allure. She couldn’t tear her gaze away; it was as if the diamond was calling to her, whispering promises of elegance and beauty.

“How many carats is the center diamond on this necklace?” she asked, her voice tinged with eagerness.

The sales associate, sensing Sophia’s interest, beamed with delight. “Miss, you have impeccable taste! The diamond on this necklace is the largest, finest, and most breathtaking stone in our entire collection. It weighs—”

Before she could finish, Isabella, who had been mostly uninterested in the sparkling treasures surrounding her, stood on tiptoe, curiosity momentarily piqued. However, as she listened to the associate’s enthusiastic claims, her brow furrowed with skepticism.

“This is already the biggest in the store? But it looks really small,” she interjected, her innocence cutting through the sales pitch like a knife.
