It was only then that Celia reluctantly walked over to Grace and said, in a voice softer than a mouse’s,

“Um… I’m sorry.”

Emily protested angrily, “Louder! We can’t hear you.”

Celia’s hands balled into fists as she raised her volume. “I said I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!”

Then, she turned to look at Ben. “Is that enough, Ben?” she asked, looking like she had swallowed a

bug.

Ben replied coldly. “Ask Grace, not me.” So Celia looked in Grace’s direction pitifully.

“If apologies were enough, what do we even need cops for? Did I say an apology would spare you from

the police? You think too highly of yourself, Mr. Hawkins,” Grace said.

Her smile was so full of mockery that Benjamin couldn’t help but feel like he didn’t understand her at all.

“Why should I let go of being accused without reason so easily? Is her status a Get Out of Jail Free

card?” Grace said.

After all, Celia was only this bold because the Hawkins had let her off the hook again and again. There

was no way Grace would pass on the chance to punish her.

After Lydia heard Grace’s stance, she immediately called the cops. Some time later, the police dragged

Celia away for the second time. She kicked and screamed the entire way out.

As the police stuffed Celia into the police car, Benjamin’s face had fallen far enough to hit rock bottom.

“Why all this fuss over a diamond bracelet?” He looked at Grace in confusion. “When did you become

such a heartless person?”

Before the divorce, she had tolerated everything that happened to her. After the divorce, she had

begun to treat the Hawkins like they were her mortal enemies.

This version of Grace was getting more and more unfamiliar to him by the day. He had already asked

Celia to apologize and even offered to buy Grace something.

So why was Grace still unhappy?

“Is that so? I’ve always been like this. You just never noticed.” Grace smiled without a care in the world.

She didn’t bother explaining herself to Benjamin because he didn’t deserve it.

Benjamin didn’t argue and left for the police station. However, the moment he disappeared, so did her

smile.

A few days later, Lydia held her jewelry exhibition right on schedule. The tickets were hard to get, but

Lydia had reserved the best seats for her best friends.

Before the exhibition started, Grace and Emily showed up backstage wearing the latest custom

made Prada accessories.

Lydia was deep in thought at the time, but the second they arrived, she looked like a weight had been

lifted off her shoulders,

“Two of our models backed out at the last minute for emergency reasons. I was worried I wouldn’t find

replacements in time to display the exhibition jewelry,” Lydia said.

Then, she stroked her chin and looked at them. “You two would be perfect.”

“Are you sure?” Grace asked.

Lydia winked in response. “Absolutely. You two are more charming than those models are. Believe me,”

Grace and Emily exchanged smiles. They hadn’t known that they were here to be free labor for their

friend. “Alright, then. Let’s give it a shot.”

The exhibition’s theme was “Close to Nature“. Most of the jewelry was inspired by colors found in

nature itself.

International critics had pointed out how these pieces of jewelry challenged traditional ideas and

brought something new to the industry.

Because of this, every guest present refused to take their eyes off the stage for fear that they would

miss out on one of Lydia York’s masterpieces.

Emily was a lively woman, so Lydia had arranged for her to wear a yellow diamond piece called

Sunflower. Combined with her loose clothing, she looked like a forest fairy.

As the music began playing, Emily showed up with a cheerful gait that attracted everyone’s attention.

Everyone was blown away by both the jewelry and the model’s perfection.

Emily smiled. As she caught Lydia’s eye in the distance, she lifted her chin confidently. After that, the

professional models calmly went onstage one by one.

Finally, it was the moment everyone had been waiting for. The collection’s defining piece was about to

be revealed.



Under the dreamy spotlight, a gorgeous woman made her way onstage. When Benjamin realized who

it was, his black eyes widened, and he found himself unable to look away.

Grace had a slight smile and makeup that emphasized her beauty. Resting on her pale collarbone was

the crown jewel of Lydia’s newest jewelry collection–Tears of the Ocean.

It was a necklace made with the best blue diamonds, which shone brightly. But they still couldn’t

compare with Grace’s own radiant beauty. If anything, both of them complemented

each other.

The necklace attracted everyone’s attention, and Grace made sure they couldn’t look away, She looked

stunningly elegant, with an aloof beauty that kept people staring.

The audience had never seen someone beautiful enough to touch their hearts and souls.

They had even forgotten to breathe or look away. They had no choice but to keep following Grace’s

movements and her smile.
