The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 378

The guest Nora had invited was Leona York.

Before the new year, Nora had collaborated with The National Silk Research Institute to complete a custom silk gown designed specifically for Leona.

Leona had spent the entire holiday month filming at a studio backlot. Having just secured a single day off today, she immediately drove over to see Nora.

The studio wasn't far from Southampton; it was just a little over a two-hour drive.

As soon as Leona stepped into the estate, she was practically in tears. "Capitalism is truly right in front of my eyes."

Nora laughed. "It's not like you just met me yesterday."

"I knew you were rich, but I didn't know you were this rich!" Leona followed Nora through a garden that felt like a maze. "How many millions of dollars is this place worth?"

"I don't know, it's my husband's property." Nora led Leona into the guest wing. In the center of the walk-in closet hung the exquisitely crafted silk gown.

Nora helped Leona put it on, adjusting the fit and details on the spot.

"I borrowed a vintage sapphire tiara for this. Since it's extremely valuable, I couldn't bring it home. It's safely stored at the Institute, and I'll bring it over on the day of the shoot."

Nora continued softly, "Also, I've contacted a master crystal artisan. When the time comes, you'll need to cooperate and film a video of yourself learning how to make a crystal floral crown."

Leona stared fixedly at Nora without saying a word.

Confused, Nora asked, "What is it?"

"Nothing," Leona said solemnly. "When I make it big, I will never forget you."

Nora was speechless.

"I mean it," Leona clarified. "Once I hit the big leagues, I will definitely repay the favor."

"Okay." Nora smiled and nodded. She then mentioned that after the promotional campaign ended, there would be a charity auction, and all proceeds would go toward training new apprentices in heritage crafts.

In modern society, many niche traditional crafts couldn't provide a lucrative livelihood, leading to a lack of successors and the threat of extinction.

Nora had even established a foundation for this exact purpose.

Since the auction had commercial elements, Leona called her agent to discuss it.

While Leona was busy on the phone, Nora contacted the kitchen to prepare afternoon tea.
