Chapter 319: Chapter 319

"In that case, Butler, please go and invite Master Lowe over now to have him appraise whether this necklace is ’Swan’s Dream’ or ’Aurora Encounter’!"

Old Mrs. Quinn herself also enjoyed collecting jewelry, and the old mansion had extremely professional jewelry appraisers.

The butler immediately complied respectfully, "Yes, ma’am!"

"Serena, don’t worry, your grandmother won’t let anyone wrong you!"

Old Mrs. Quinn naturally believed Serena, but to convince everyone and to clear Serena’s name, it was necessary to have the appraiser brought in.

Serena obediently nodded, "Uh-huh."

Seeing her so calm and composed, Mrs. Langley couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious in her heart; could what she said be true?

The moment this thought appeared, Mrs. Langley immediately shook her head in denial in her mind, impossible! How could she have the Aurora Encounter gemstone necklace!

Back then, a wealthy businessman was willing to spend nine figures to buy the necklace, but designer Serena Sanders did not agree to sell it! So, Serena must be lying!

Thinking this over, Mrs. Langley immediately calmed down and regained her previous smugness, waiting for the appraiser to arrive, anticipating Serena being exposed as a liar!

Crystal Joyce didn’t speak, quietly standing to the side, but clearly agreed with Mrs. Langley, her lips curling slightly.

The appraiser came quickly, bringing professional equipment and started the appraisal, and the entire living room fell silent, holding their breath in anticipation of the results.

Luke Lowe’s expression grew more solemn, and Mrs. Langley was anxious, unable to resist asking, "Master Lowe, is this necklace the Aurora Encounter?!"

"Indeed, this necklace is precisely the Aurora Encounter gemstone necklace crafted by designer Serena Sanders!" Luke Lowe could not contain his excitement and spoke up, "I never expected to see such an exquisite necklace, truly worthy of being a work by Serena Sanders!"

Mrs. Langley did not expect that the necklace in Serena’s hand was actually the Aurora Encounter, and her smug expression instantly disappeared, swallowing the taunt she was about to utter.

The words she had said earlier turned into invisible slaps on her own face.

Crystal Joyce also flickered with surprise in her eyes, her gaze darkening; the necklace in Serena’s hand was actually the real Aurora Encounter!

The servants watching were equally astonished, then upon realizing the truth, cast Serena glances filled with complexity.

If it were anyone else, they would treasure such an incredibly precious, invaluable, and unique necklace, but she carelessly tossed it into her backpack!

This was truly squandering an artifact!

"Miss Everett, may I boldly ask how you obtained the Aurora Encounter gemstone necklace?" Luke Lowe asked full of curiosity, "How did you persuade designer Serena Sanders to sell it to you?"

After all, regardless of the high prices offered by the merchants back then, designer Serena Sanders refused to sell, yet now this incredibly precious necklace appeared in the hands of a young girl, which was truly puzzling.

Serena’s bright, rosy lips lazily curved, her tone indifferent, yet what she said shocked everyone present.

"Isn’t it possible that I’m Serena Sanders myself?"

The identity of Serena Sanders was merely an alias, nothing crucial to hide, so Serena leisurely revealed the truth.

"What, Miss Everett, you’re the globally renowned jewelry designer Serena Sanders?!"

"Oh my, we’ve actually had the privilege to meet Master Sanders!!!"

Everyone present didn’t want to believe it, but only this explanation made sense as to how the Aurora Encounter gemstone necklace ended up in her hands.

"Serena, you are actually designer Serena Sanders!" Old Mrs. Quinn was both happy and excited, clasping her hand, "Why didn’t you tell grandma earlier? I really love your work, I bought every design of yours available on the market, I am your die-hard fan!"

Seeing Old Mrs. Quinn so enthused, Serena’s lips curved into a small smile, "Grandma, in a few days, I’ll design a jewelry piece exclusively for you." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ⓝovelFire.net

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Quinn became even happier, her smile growing so wide she could hardly close her mouth, "Alright, alright, Serena, you are so good to grandma!"

Everyone immediately cast envious glances at Old Mrs. Quinn, knowing how rare it was to have designer Serena Sanders design a piece of jewelry, let alone one exclusively for her!

Serena cast her gaze on the now troubled-looking Mrs. Langley, speaking slowly, "Now you’ve already searched my backpack, and I’ve proven that I didn’t take your Miss’s necklace, now it’s time to search you."

"Exactly, exactly!" Before Mrs. Langley could speak, Old Mrs. Quinn immediately nodded in agreement, "Butler, go search her!"

The butler immediately complied, directing a few other servants to grab Mrs. Langley and begin searching her.

Mrs. Langley felt humiliated to the extreme, struggling unwillingly, "I’ve been taking care of Miss Crystal for so many years, how could I possibly steal Miss Crystal’s necklace..."

Before she could finish her shouting, the butler pulled the necklace from her inner pocket.

"Ma’am, Miss Everett’s necklace was found on her!"

The butler’s words naturally turned into a heavy slap, landing hard on Mrs. Langley’s face.

Mrs. Langley was on the verge of breaking down; she had clearly planted the necklace in Serena’s backpack, but why was it now on her?

"You stole Crystal’s necklace and then even accused Serena of it!" Old Mrs. Quinn angrily raised her cane and hit her with it, "Truly despicable!"

"Ah..." Mrs. Langley cried out, hurriedly protesting her innocence, "Ma’am, it really wasn’t me, I didn’t steal Miss Crystal’s necklace!"

Old Mrs. Quinn did not believe a word she said, fuming, "And you still dare to lie, if you didn’t take it, how did the necklace end up on you?"

Indeed, why was the necklace on her? Mrs. Langley pondered deeply and finally recalled Serena bumping into her earlier; she hadn’t given it much thought at the time, but looking back, Serena must have slipped the necklace into her pocket then!

Seeing Mrs. Langley’s sudden realization, Serena’s delicate eyebrows raised lazily.

Not too dumb after all, she finally figured out why the necklace ended up on her.

Serena had long noticed Mrs. Langley’s ill intentions, so she paid attention to her moves, and after seeing her slip the necklace into her backpack, she deftly took it out and stealthily placed it into her pocket.

It was merely giving her a taste of her own medicine in return.
