Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 106

With the host's hopeful eyes on her, Nellie got to her feet. Suddenly, a murmur rose from the crowd behind her. “Isn’t that Mrs. Dawson, who’s clueless about everything?”

“What does she know about fashion? I bet she’s never even heard of the Sapphire Necklace.”

“Shh, let’s not embarrass Mr. Dawson. Just drop it.”

Cameron’s face darkened with embarrassment.

Nellie flashed a subtle smile, thinking about how those who looked down on others often forgot that fortunes could change like the tides. She carefully chose her words to keep her knowledge under wraps. “I might not be a fashion expert, but I do happen to know about this necklace. Miss Greta is both right and wrong. It was indeed a gift from Her Majesty to her daughter, but it’s not about power. It symbolizes ‘a lifetime of love,’ the most heartfelt blessing from Her Majesty to her daughter.”

“Nellie, how do you know this is what the necklace means? Her Majesty is so ambitious, so trivial love matters wouldn’t tie her down. Seems like you made this up just to grab attention,” Greta’s friend challenged, standing up to dispute her claim.

Nellie remained unfazed. “The sapphire is flanked by two cherry blossoms made from pink diamonds. One is larger than the other. The message behind the cherry blossoms is that you should love one person your whole life.”

The host was taken aback. “Wow, there really are two cherry blossoms, and one is indeed bigger than the other.”

The audience erupted in applause. Greta's friend turned green with envy.

Nellie turned back, giving her a teasing smile. “You're mistaken. The flowers here symbolize not romantic love but a mother's love. It's the Queen’s deep affection for her daughter.”

The applause roared once again.

Many daughters from elite families raised their paddles, knowing this necklace would be perfect for pleasing their mothers.

Greta’s face was flushed with embarrassment.

Cameron, however, watched Nellie sit down. He never realized Nellie could hold her own so brilliantly.

The next item was a bracelet.
