The Wife He Dumped, The Queen She Returned As novel Chapter 147

The moment the words left her mouth, Jenna's smile completely froze.

The crowd's eyes dropped back to her ring. But this time, there was no envy or awe—only thinly veiled amusement and judgment.

Swallowing her rising humiliation and fury, Jenna forced a rigid, defensive tone.

"Mrs. Shaw, wherever did you hear that? That can't be true..."

Mrs. Shaw offered a faint, elegant smile. Her gaze drifted right past Jenna, landing squarely on Chloe, who was sitting just behind her.

"The finished necklace is currently resting against that young lady's neck."

Instantly, the entire room gasped, turning in shock to stare at Chloe.

Jenna's voice pitched into a frantic shriek.

"Mrs. Shaw, you must be joking! There's no way she could afford a necklace like that! It's an obvious fake! A cheap replica!"

A wealthy socialite standing nearby immediately rolled her eyes in absolute disgust.

"Watch your mouth. Mrs. Shaw is close friends with Master Sylvain. Do you honestly think she can't tell a fake from the real thing?"

"And that gown she's wearing is a custom original by Master Sylvain. Are you completely blind?"

Jenna's face burned a violent shade of red. She glared at Chloe in absolute disbelief.

"What custom design? It doesn't even have a brand logo! It's just a regular dress!"

Several society women covered their mouths, chuckling. The contempt in their eyes was entirely unhidden.

"Sweetheart, when you've seen a bit more of the world, you'll realize the best things in life don't have price tags."

"True masterpieces don't need logos to announce their worth. They are priceless."

Ignoring Jenna entirely, the women practically swarmed Chloe, their voices dripping with admiration.

"No wonder Master Sylvain parted with this legendary piece. It looks custom-made for you. It's utterly breathtaking."

"Ms. Reed, how do you know Master Sylvain? Do you think you could introduce us?"

Jenna was humiliated beyond words. She looked up at Preston, tears welling in her eyes.

"Preston, why didn't you tell me... you're so good to her..."
