The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins (Sean and Claire) novel Chapter 346

Chapter 346: Caught Between Laughter and Tears 

The host nodded in satisfaction and began, “This diamond necklace comes from Sinclaire Jewelry, 

designed by COCO…” Before she could finish, the audience erupted in gasps. Somewhat exasperated, 

the host waited for the noise to subside before continuing. “This necklace is COCO’s winning piece 

from the Charm Designers‘ Competition…” 

Foreseeing another interruption, she paused, and as expected, gasps filled the room again. She 

shrugged helplessly, waiting for the noise to die down before adding with a smile, “As many of your 

know, COCO’s breakthrough work was The Empress‘ Scepter. It stunned the world and mesmerized th empress. Like The Empress‘ Scepter, this necklace is a masterpiece personally designed and crafted by 

COCO!” 

“Wow…” “Ah…” “Oh my God…” The excitement was even louder this time, with many voicing their 

admiration, “No wonder I found this necklace so stunning. It’s COCO’s own creation!” “I knew Suzanne 

Jenkins was beautiful before, but never to this extent. It’s all COCO’s design. Amazing!” 

While the host spoke, all eyes in the second and third rows, filled with representatives from other 

countries‘ jewelry companies, turned towards Claire Donovan. Envy and admiration shone in their eyes. 

Surrounded by so many gazes, Claire Donovan just smiled, accepting the attention calmly. 

Meanwhile, Mia Ashworth, sitting beside her, turned visibly upset. She couldn’t fathom what the 

organizers were thinking. Why were they detailing Sinclaire Jewelry’s piece so meticulously, unlike 

others? Her discontent went unnoticed, and it didn’t affect Claire Donovan, who shone in her momen 

of glory, leaving Mia Ashworth to sulk alone like a clown. 

The host, seemingly intent on causing a stir, shifted the spotlight to the gown Suzanne Jenkins wore 

after introducing the necklace. “Besides the necklace, the gown worn by the model is designed and 

crafted by the renowned international fashion designer Summer…” The audience reacted with more 

cheers, clearly surprised by the grandeur of the event. 

Hiring Summer for a gown design was an extravagant affair, starting at millions. As expensive as it was for a dress that, unlike jewelry, couldn’t be passed down through generations, it was a 

significant investment. The host waited for the cheers to subside before continuing with a smile. Her 

eyes then mischievously turned towards Claire Donovan, “Of course, what many don’t know is that the famous international fashion designer Summer and the renowned jewelry designer COCO are actually the same person!” 

Up to 30% off! 

he reaction was more than just cheers; the gasps and screams nearly lifted the roof of the venue. ountless eyes, following the host’s cue, turned towards Claire Donovan amidst excited screams. Ever laire Donovan felt a bit embarrassed. 

he information about Sinclaire Jewelry and the diamond necklace was provided by her, but she hadn’t nentioned a word about the gown. She wasn’t sure how the organizers discovered this connection, eaving her feeling a mix of amusement and bewilderment. 

Despite her wish for a low profile, her talent simply wouldn’t allow it! At that moment, Suzanne enkins, standing on the catwalk, winked at Claire Donovan, who realized that the information about he gown and Summer must have come from her. 

Sighing, Claire Donovan shook her head, resigned to accepting the overwhelming attention and screams illing the room. Finally, the fashion show concluded amidst roaring cheers. 

As the audience gradually left the venue, Claire Donovan and those in the front rows remained seated. 

waiting for most of the spectators to exit. Mia Ashworth’s face was beyond description, as dark as 

the bottom of a pot, glaring hatefully at Claire Donovan. It seemed she wanted to say something, but 

then thought better of it, perhaps realizing it was pointless at this stage. Standing up, she shot 

Claire Donovan a final glare and huffed away. 

Claire Donovan helplessly shrugged at Sean Vanderbilt, who, smiling, took her hand and stood up. 

“Let’s go and get ready for the auction tonight.” 

As they stood, people in the front row also got up, turned around, and extended their hands to Claire Donovan with flattering smiles, “COCO, it’s an honor to meet you here.” Claire was briefly taken aback these were prominent figures in the jewelry industry, especially the man extending his hand, a major player in L country’s jewelry market with a brand presence across Southeast Asia and beyond.
