The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

In the crowd, a gasp cut through the chatter, and the crowd’s attention snapped into focus.

Vivienne had fashioned the rare Rainbow Opal into not one but two stunning bracelets!

Zelda gasped. “Vivienne, this… this is such extravagance!”

The Rainbow Opal was precious, and to craft bracelets from it required so much of the material it was enough to make one’s blood run cold.

Even Zelda, who never cared for the cost of things, felt a pang of remorse.

But Vivienne seemed unfazed. Rainbow Opal? Her storage was brimming with them.

All gifts from Mr. Wolf!

“Auntie, if you fancy, I’ll have a matching jewelry set made for you tomorrow. The Rainbow Opal has so many colors, I had them all worked into these jade-like pieces. Looks rather regal, don’t you think?” Vivienne said with a grin.

Percival’s gaze remained fixed on Vivienne’s waist. “Hmm, anything Vivienne gifts is her own design, unique in the market.”

That was when it dawned on everyone.

These bracelets were not just made of Rainbow Opal; they were the latest creations by the master jeweler, Jessica.

Jessica’s designs had gone viral online, and owning one was extremely lucky.

Since that event with the Ellingtons, she had not designed a thing.

But now, she had personally designed these bracelets!

Considering both the material and the designer, these bracelets were priceless treasures!

Natalia and Yasmine slid the bracelets back onto their wrists, cherishing them immensely.

The pair draped themselves over Vivienne, cooing rather slyly, “Vivienne, can I come to you for all my jewelry needs from now on?”
