Chapter 352
“Don’t you even think about it! She is Winston Taylor’s daughter. Besides, she’s also
someone whom Mr. Jasper cares for deeply. Do you want to get fired? Pay more attention
to your surroundings and report any discrepancies to me immediately!”
“Oh my goodness!” Ada gasped suddenly. “Is that Alexa’s ‘Ragnarok’ that you’re wearing,
Ms. Alyssa?”
“Yes, ma’am,” Alyssa acknowledged, gesturing toward her brooch. Amid their intense
focus on her, the yellow diamond-studded, internationally award-winning piece in her
breast pocket remained entirely
overlooked.
“Alexa’s ‘Ragnarok?’ The renowned and elusive jewelry designer, Alexa?”
“Haven’t you seen the news? This brooch is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars! A
single ten-carat yellow diamond studded on it is worth over ten thousand. Every jewelry
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcollector wants their hand on this
amazing piece!”
“She truly does present herself well as Belbanks’ richest heiress!”
“Not even Sophia Kirkman’s ‘Halcyon’ can compare. Forget it. No jewelry can even hold a
candle to
Alexa’s creations!”
Sophia nearly bit her tongue in frustration.
Javier had gotten her this AAA, gem-grade sapphire pendant from an auction. It was the
most exquisite
piece in her collection, and they were implying it couldn’t compare?
Sophia cursed and seethed at Liana and her family internally. If it weren’t for her having to
help them clear
their debts, she wouldn’t have to endure this embarrassment tonight!
“I’ve been looking for ‘Ragnarok’ everywhere, Ms. Alyssa. I remember seeing it at an
exhibition two years
ago. I had no idea it was in your possession!” Ada exclaimed with admiration in her tone.
Zoe felt like she might implode from anger. Her eyes were shooting daggers into Alyssa’s
back.
She wasn’t sure what she should be more envious of: Alyssa’s earth-shattering beauty, the
priceless and
highly sought-after jewelry piece designed by the internationally renowned jeweler, Alexa,
that she was
wearing, or the fact that Jasper’s eyes hadn’t left her once since she arrived.
“I went through a tough time two years ago, so I figured buying a piece of art would better
cheer me up,” Alyssa said lightly. “That’s when I saw this piece at the exhibition. I fell in
love with it the moment I laid

eyes on it. It even lifted my spirits at the time. That’s why I decided to buy it.”

She had opted to address Ada as “Madam” to show respect, particularly due to their age
difference and the formality of the situation.
“Of course not, Ms. Alyssa.” Jasper could only nod in her direction. “I would’ve sent you an
invitation if I had known you were joining us tonight.”
Alyssa’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. “No need to trouble yourself with that, Mr. Jasper. I
have no intention of participating in your party tonight.”
That made Jasper’s expression fall just the slightest.
Behind him, Xavier was frantically texting the guards outside the hotel.
“What is going on?”
“We’re so sorry, Mr. Xavier! We have no idea where Ms. Alyssa entered from either…”
“What? Were any of you doing your jobs properly? She can’t have appeared out of thin
air!”
“We will take full responsibility for our mistakes, sir. We’ll get Ms. Alyssa out right away!”
