Chapter 338: Deceiving the Devil!
Just as she turned, Julia Sanders felt two menacing gazes fixed on her. Freezing, she followed their direction and saw Cassie Palmer glaring at her with narrowed eyes, looking as if she could devour her
whole.
“Ca… Cassie…”
“Julia Sanders!” Cassie Palmer erupted, furiously tossing her snacks onto the bed and jumping down.
“Weren’t you supposed to be injured? You seem pretty lively to me!”
Julia, gulping nervously, suddenly remembered her earlier lie about being injured, which explained the stares from Mr. Vanderbilt and Mr. Sean. Panicked, she dropped her snacks and attempted to flee
“Cassie, I didn’t lie to you, my foot really is hurt!”
But Cassie, incensed, lunged at her. “Injured and still running that fast? You’re deceiving the
devil!”
Julia’s scream echoed as Cassie pounced. “Ah… I was wrong, okay? Ah…”
The room wasn’t large, and with Cassie’s height advantage, Julia barely had a chance to escape before
being caught and tossed onto the bed. Claire Donovan, eating snacks, watched the spectacle unfold.
“Hmm… Girlfriends fighting is way more entertaining than any drama.“”
Cassie’s force and Julia’s screams left Sean and Frederick wide–eyed. This was their first time
witnessing a female brawl of this magnitude.
“You little b*tch, how dare you lie to me!”
“Ah, it tickles! Cassie, I’m sorry, really sorry, ah… haha…”
Sean covered his face, turning away from the fierce battle on the bed. Frederick coughed lightly and
looked aside, not meant for his eyes.
In truth, Julia and Cassie weren’t seriously fighting. It was mostly Cassie tickling Julia
relentlessly, causing quite a commotion.
Claire laughed heartily, even playfully kicking Julia away when she struggled towards her, then
continued laughing

Claire laughed heartily, even playfully kicking Julia away when she struggled towards her, then
continued laughing.
After about fifteen minutes, Julia was completely drained. Cassie, finally stopping, grabbed Julia’s face and demanded fiercely. “You won’t dare do it again, will you?”
Julia, mouth contorted into an ‘O, swallowed hard and nodded weakly, “I won’t.”
Cassie released her grip and patted her hands triumphantly, stepping off the bed. After catching her breath, she turned to the exhausted Julia, suddenly laughing and extending a hand.
This unexpected gesture brought a hint of warmth to the chaotic scene, symbolizing their unspoken
bond as friends, despite their playful quarrel.
Julia Sanders saw her hand and couldn’t help but smile. She reached out to grasp her hand, using the offered support to sit up from the bed. Then, the three girls grabbed some snacks and continued watching the TV series together!
Sean Vanderbilt gasped in disbelief, “What?!”
Frederick Vanderbilt echoed the sentiment, “Is it over already? And they’ve made up?”
Watching the three girls laugh and enjoy themselves, it seemed as if the earlier intense argument was
nothing but their imagination.
Sean and Frederick exchanged a knowing look, chuckled together, and both sighed. “Ah, to be young!
After a week of preparation, the Jewelry Exhibition officially began. This exhibition was of an impressive scale, with tickets selling out immediately upon release. Despite the high price, the event‘ s popularity was undeniable, with a bustling crowd filling the venue. Business magnates and high society ladies from various countries gathered around the exhibits, admiring the displayed jewels.

The two front stands were packed, and behind them, in a more prominent position, was the third stand, showcasing the most valuable pieces according to the organizers.
At one of the front stands, a woman exclaimed in awe, “Wow! This is the Tears of the Rose! This ruby necklace was auctioned off for three hundred million over twenty years ago. I can’t believe it’s here!”

society ladies from various countries gathered around the exhibits, admiring the displayed jewels.
The organizers had arranged the exhibits by nationality, placing jewels from the same country in one area. Soon, the venue buzzed with excitement, especially around three particular stands. The two
front stands were packed, and behind them, in a more prominent position, was the third stand, showcasing the most valuable pieces according to the organizers.
At one of the front stands, a woman exclaimed in awe, “Wow! This is the Tears of the Rose! This ruby
necklace was auctioned off for three hundred million over twenty years ago. I can’t believe it’s here!”
Next to her, a young girl with sparkling eyes excitedly tugged at her hand, “Mom, I love this one,
you have to bid for it for me!”
As their words faded, surprised voices came from the adjacent stand. “This Starlight Sapphire is
huge! Must be worth a fortune!” A man nearby nodded, lightly patting the hand of the woman who h:
spoken, “You like it? If you do, I’ll bid for it.”
Meanwhile, Mia Ashworth approached from the left side of the venue, and Sasha Felix from the back.
They both heard the exclamations and headed towards the respective exhibits. Mia’s expression turned
cold as she reached the Starlight Sapphire display, labeled Felix Glory Corp., a piece showcased by
the Felix family.
Simultaneously, Sasha arrived at the Qin Group’s exhibit, her expression changing upon seeing the
Tears of the Rose. She hadn’t expected the Ashworths to bring out such a significant piece, reputed
to be their family heirloom.
Their eyes met, filled with a fierce determination, each convinced of their victory, only to be
surprised by the other’s bold move. Their gazes then simultaneously shifted towards the third exhibit
– Sinclaire Jewelry’s. The fact that their exhibits were positioned in front, with Sinclaire
Jewelry’s at the very end, sent a wave of urgency through them.
