As their voices trailed off, another comment filled the air, “One billion, huh? Is Sinclaire Jewelry

that desperate for fame? A billion for a mere diamond necklace – do they think we are fools?”

Many eyes turned to Claire Donovan with skepticism and a hint of schadenfreude. If she couldn’t handle this well, her hard–earned reputation in the industry might crumble overnight. Tomorrow’s fashion news headlines might accuse COCO of using shills to artificially inflate her auction prices.

Julia Sanders and Cassie Palmer’s smiles stiffened. They knew Claire hadn’t employed any shills, but

being associated with her, their words wouldn’t be credible to the crowd.

Sean Vanderbilt frowned slightly and leaned towards Claire, whispering, “Can you handle this.

Claire?”

Claire waved her hand nonchalantly, then her gaze settled on the first row’s mysterious woman. With a

playful tone, she addressed her, “The lady in the first row, do you genuinely like this diamond

necklace?”

The woman, who had not turned until now, let out a soft chuckle, stood up gracefully, and turned to face Claire directly. With a smile, she replied, “Of course.”

Gasps and whispers erupted as she revealed her identity. Mia Ashworth’s eyes nearly bulged out of

their sockets in disbelief. “She’s here? How did no one know?”

Sean Vanderbilt watched the woman with an amused smile, not uttering a word.

Claire blinked, recognizing the woman but unable to place her. Turning to Sean, she whispered. “Who

is she?”

Sean cleared his throat and replied seriously, “Alice, the owner of YJYO.”

Julia Sanders couldn’t help but burst out laughing upon hearing the name. Cassie Palmer quickly

covered her mouth with a tissue, “Calm down, watch your image.”

Julia nodded, wiping her mouth and trying to compose herself, “I’m not excited, not at all.” But she

couldn’t suppress her laughter, “Sorry, I just can’t help it!”
