Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover
Chapter 662

After Claire made her bid, no one else dared to compete. David, barely containing his excitement, brought down the gavel. "Congratulations to Ms. Claire for snagging 'The Queen's Tears' at a cool billion!" The live stream audience was absolutely floored.

[Are these folks even living on the same planet as us? Why are they throwing around billions like it's pocket change?]

[I'm over here hustling for a three-dollar discount on my morning coffee, and you're telling me a necklace is a billion-dollar deal?]

[Is there a rich benefactor out there willing to toss a million my way? Might be a moment of whimsy for them, but it'd make my whole life!]

[Please, a million wouldn't even make them blink.]

David invited Claire to the stage. She stood, walking with the kind of grace that made heads turn, right to the center.

Unlike his usual style, David didn't pluck the jewelry from its display case. Instead, he leaned into the mic, "Ms. Claire is one of our esteemed guests at QUEEN Jewelry. Let's first applaud her for securing her dream piece today. From what I hear, she's been quite a collector of MISSY's masterpieces over the years. So, we've got a little surprise for Ms. Claire." Curiosity rippled through the crowd.

"MISSY is here with us today, and she'll be personally handing over this piece to Ms. Claire."

David's words sent waves through the crowd. MISSY was actually here?

Guests from across the globe buzzed with excitement. QUEEN Jewelry had shot to stardom, thanks to MISSY's distinctive designs and cutting-edge aesthetics. MISSY was practically the soul of the brand. Yet, she was more elusive than the CEO themselves.

She'd never stepped into the public

style that no one could replicate net

folks might suspect MISSY was just a clever marketing gimmick by QUEEN.

But today, she was here? You could see the shock etched on every face.

Those who had planned to leave after missing out on "The Queen's Tears" suddenly changed their minds and rushed back in.

Getting a glimpse of MISSY in person? That would be the highlight of a lifetime.

The energy in the room skyrocketed, even surpassing the moment when "The Queen's Tears" was first revealed.

Claire was taken aback. MISSY was actually going to hand over the jewelry in person. This was a huge honor.

This was MISSY's debut appearance, sure to cause a media frenzy. Claire realized she'd be etched into jewelry history right alongside MISSY.

A once-in-a-century genius in jewelry

design, and apparently very young

with a limitless future. Sure, she was a business mogul, but even capitalists need the weight of a

good reputation.

MISSY was one of those rare talents with worldwide acclaim. Her mysterious aura was sure to make waves globally. Claire could ride this wave to boost her capital's allure. Eldridge Entertainment's stocks hadn't been looking too hot lately. But today's live stream? It was bound to put Eldridge Entertainment on the map.

A billion was just the tip of the

iceberg when it came to market

value. That's why, upon learning the auction would be globally broadcasted, Claire was dead set on snagging "The Queen's Tears" It was all about strategy.

After all, she was a businesswoman through and through. Profit was her guiding star.

David, practically bouncing with excitement, announced, "Now, let's welcome the most beautiful, talented, and dazzling MISSY to the stage..."
