The Ross family.

Charlene had already discussed auctioning the diamond with Helena Ross before heading out to the auction itself.

When Helena finally saw the dazzling stone Charlene had spent a fortune on, she stared at it in silence for a long time before she spoke. "Your mother always did love diamonds," Helena said quietly. "But if the diamond really has any effect, it could just as easily bring her clarity as it could push her deeper into... madness. So, Charlene, keep it safe for now. As for using it to help your mother-let's wait a while and see how things go."

Charlene had considered that possibility herself.

She agreed with her grandmother's caution.

Still, a diamond this rare might not come up for auction again anytime soon. And since money wasn't an issue for her at the moment, she bought it anyway, even if it ended up sitting unused for now.

She nodded at her grandmother's words. "Alright."
