The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret

Chapter 438 The Emerald Showdown

When Frey started discussing emeralds, Daphne nearly burst into laughter.

Daphne gestured toward the emerald necklace she was wearing a striking pendant, the Imperial Green Onyx, a top-tier emerald.

It was a gift from Michael, who had spent 12 million to acquire it from Buranda.

Despite his flaws, Michael was known for his generosity.

Frey had audaciously suggested that Daphne's emerald was a fake.

Daphne, fuming with indignation, cast a derisive glance at the piece of yellow jade hanging from Frey's neck. It appeared to be an ordinary piece, likely worth only tens of thousands of dollars, vastly inferior to her own.

"Ms. Frey," Daphne said with a sneer, "since you're involved in the jewelry industry, you should refine your taste. If you can't afford Imperial Green Onyx, perhaps you should opt for something less pretentious."

"You're flaunting a piece of yellow jade, embarrassing yourself. Do you think we, the esteemed guests here, can't afford your company's products? Isn't that humiliating?"

Daphne's words had a profound effect, causing many of the high-profile guests to lose their interest in Frey's designs.
