Mia Ashworth nodded vigorously, clutching her laptop as she stood up to follow Claire Donovan. Afte Claire’s departure, Julia Sanders and the others were quite concerned about her, their earlier jesting mood gone. The three women sat on the bed, anxiously watching the door.

In contrast to them, Sean Vanderbilt and Frederick Vanderbilt were much calmer, continuing their drinks but occasionally glancing towards the door. Finally, the door opened, and Claire Donovan entered first. Sean Vanderbilt put down his glass, and Julia Sanders and the others leapt off the bed, “Claire!”

“I’m fine,” Claire reassured them with a smile, then retrieved her purse, selected a card, and handed it to Mia Ashworth. Mia placed her laptop on the coffee table, entered the card number, and quickly transferred the money.

“Claire Donovan, look.” She rotated the laptop screen towards Claire, who glanced at it and then walked over to the bed, picking up a jewelry box. After inspecting it, she handed it to Mia Ashworth. “This is your ‘Tears of the Rose“”

Mia Ashworth eagerly took the box, her heart settling as she saw the ‘Tears of the Rose‘ necklace inside. She exhaled deeply, nodded to Claire Donovan, “Thank you.”

After obtaining the item, she took her laptop and left without another word. The door closed with a bang, and Julia Sanders exploded after Mia Ashworth’s departure, “Claire, why did you give her the ‘Tears of the Rose‘? It was hard–won at the auction!”

Cassie Palmer also frowned, “Claire, six hundred million, and you’re down ten million.”
