Chapter 255

Kyla’s sneer deepened as she said, “Why, can’t I say hello without an agenda?” She paused, her tone sharp. “I’m curious, though. How do you plan to deliver the ‘Ten Year Promise’ to your client without the Cardilla Pink Diamond? Can you afford to pay the penalty fee?”

A hush fell over the banquet hall as all eyes shifted to Sadie, their faces etched with curiosity.

Rumors about her predicament had already spread, and contrary to expectations, Sadie had appeared, surprising everyone.

Despite Kyla’s attempt to corner her, Sadie maintained her composure. She had prepared for this moment, fully aware of Kyla’s intentions to embarrass her, and she was determined not to falter.

Sadie offered a faint smile. “Miss Wade, you appear overly interested in my business. But you don’t have to concern yourself with the penalty fee and the ‘Ten Year Promise.'”

Her eyes moved across the gathering, finally settling on Kyla’s glass. “Miss Wade, perhaps you should concern yourself with the glass in your hand more. Don’t drop it.”

A cold seemed to creep into Kyla’s heart, unsettling her unexpectedly. The composed and assured look in Sadie’s eyes stirred an uneasy feeling in her, leaving her puzzled as to why Sadie appeared so confident.

“Really? Sadie, it’s you who ought to be concerned.”

Kyla lifted her chin, wearing a smirk filled with mockery.

“I shall see,” Sadie said, her tone even and unruffled.

Just then, Alex moved to stand by Sadie, his presence like a shield from the curious stares around them. His look of concern was directed toward her.

The hall immediately filled with whispered speculations.

“What is going on between Alex and Sadie?”

“Do they have a relationship?”

The crowd was abuzz with various theories and conjectures.

Kyla’s features subtly altered in response.

At that moment, the doors to the banquet hall were opened again.

Hand in hand, Hank and Leanna made their appearance.

Adorned in a sapphire blue gown, Leanna was decked with matching sapphire accessories—necklace, earrings, and a ring. Her jewels sparkled under the bright lights, drawing the gaze of every attendee. Silence enveloped the hall.

The dazzling jewels adorning Leanna captured everyone’s gaze, leaving the crowd speechless with admiration.noveldrama

Kyla stood motionless. She had assumed Sadie would present the “Ten Year Promise” design with a Cardilla Pink Diamond. She hadn’t anticipated this twist.

A chill of apprehension crept over her.

All eyes in the hall shifted among Sadie, Alex, and Leanna, filled with bewilderment and curiosity.

Breaking the hushed atmosphere, Kyla gestured sharply towards the sapphire necklace on Leanna’s neck and demanded, “Wasn’t this supposed to be the Cardilla Pink Diamond? What’s happening here? Is Miss Hudson pulling a fast one on Mrs. Lawrence?”

Kyla was stunned. She had meticulously plotted Sadie’s downfall, targeting her career and public standing.

However, things had not gone according to plan—how could she reconcile with this turn of events?
