She was referring to the centerpiece of the exhibition, a one–of–a–kind diamond bracelet that had been drawing attention all evening and that she had been quietly coveting for quite some time.

“It’s right this way. I’ll take you over,” the staff member said politely.

“Mm.”

Catherine’s expression finally softened a little.

The staff member guided her forward. A small crowd had already gathered around the display case, studying the bracelet through the glass.

“Mrs. Hart, you’re here.”

Someone recognized Catherine and greeted her warmly.

“It’s been a while, Mira,” Catherine replied with a faint smile.

“I had a feeling you came for this,” Mira Carter said knowingly. “That bracelet suits your style perfectly.”

Mira knew Catherine’s hobby well. Catherine loved collecting diamond bracelets, and the diamond piece inside the display case matched her taste almost exactly.

“I’ll take it. What’s the price?” Catherine said, lifting her chin slightly as she instructed the staff to remove it from the case. The irritation she had felt earlier at Evelyn’s place seemed to vanish.

“Of course, I’ll just-”

The staff member who had brought her over reached toward the case, but a young man in a black suit hurried over.

“Mrs. Hart, I’m very sorry,” Adam said with an apologetic smile. “This bracelet has already been reserved. Perhaps you’d like to look at something else? There are several other high quality pieces at this exhibition.”

“Adam, did you not hear what I said? I want this one,” Catherine replied sharply. “Do you think I can’t afford it? We’ve known each other for years. You know I came specifically for this.”

“I understand, Mrs. Hart, but it has already been reserved…” Adam repeated, maintaining his polite tone.

Reserved?

Catherine felt her irritation spike again. Why did everything seem to go against her lately?

“I want this one. If I can’t get it today, I won’t be coming back in the future. You can weigh that however you like,” she said coolly.

There were plenty of people watching. If she failed to secure it, she would become a joke. She had made her position clear. Any sensible manager would prioritize her. She was a major client.

Adam sighed regretfully. “I understand how you feel. The bracelet is priced at a little over seven million, and the buyer has already paid in full. I truly cannot transfer it. I hope you can understand.”

Catherine’s pupils tightened. The price was higher than she expected, but with so many onlookers, she could only press forward. “Seven million? Paid in full? You’re not trying to inflate the price, are you? Who bought it?”

Adam was about to explain when his eyes lit up at something behind her. “Miss Sterling, you’re here.”

Miss Sterling?

Catherine turned toward his line of sight and froze for a second.

Elena had not expected to see Catherine either. Sophia had introduced her to the bracelet earlier, suggesting she purchase it. Elena had agreed it matched Evelyn’s aesthetic and had paid for it without hesitation. She had not anticipated that Catherine would also want it.
