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.
