The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 786

“I'd love to wait until you finish the design, Ophelia. Seeing the final piece will definitely be stunning.”

Ophelia raised an eyebrow, her fondness for her niece growing by the second.

She was a highly tactful person who knew the unspoken rules of the design industry.

Even though Ophelia had sincerely invited her to look at the drafts, the girl hadn't been the least bit tempted, proving her stellar character.

“There's no harm in showing it to family.”

Ophelia was now even more eager for her to see them.

Unable to decline, Claire let Ophelia persuade her.

It was just a preliminary sketch, but it showcased Ophelia's deep foundation in design.

It had a vintage feel without losing its modern flair.

“This is a retro jewelry piece, right? I think it's going to spark a huge trend over the next couple of years.”

Claire clearly possessed high-end taste, even offering Ophelia a few minor suggestions.

Ophelia was pleasantly surprised.

“If you weren't so dead-set on studying medicine, I'd want you as my apprentice. How about a minor in jewelry design in college?”

Claire smiled and shook her head. “I studied a bit of design before, Ophelia, but it was fashion, not jewelry.”

“Aesthetics probably share common ground. That's why we can appreciate each other's work.”

So that was it.

Ophelia nodded. “Your mother always had impeccable taste in clothes. Her fashion sense was completely on point.”

“Padgett hid all the photos she left behind, so we haven't seen them either, but you can always ask him.”

“Every single outfit your mother put together was meticulously matched and absolutely gorgeous.”

Melissa truly loved beauty, but no one expected her to choose such a grueling, unadorned path after starting college.

Ophelia often felt it was a heartbreaking shame for Melissa.

“Then I guess I inherited that from my mom,” Claire chimed in with a bright smile.

After their chat, the two stepped outside, where the three men were waiting for them.
