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 dors! A single ten-carat


    yellow diamond studded on it is worth over ten thousand. Every jewelry collector wants their hand on


    this


    amazing piece!”


    “She truly does present herself well as Belbanks’ richest heiress!”


    “Not even Sophia Kirkman’s ‘Halcyon’ canpare. 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’tpare?


    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 eximed 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, particrly 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!”
