[2] The Warm Breeze is not as Warm as You

Chapter 219

The other lady was also startled. She said in disbelief, "It can't be? Could it be a fake?"

"How could that be a fake? Look at that blue diamond. It's clear that it has never been touched by a craftsman. The perfect round shape is completely natural. Look at the clarity. With how much we know about diamonds, it should be clear with one glance that it's real!" As the first wealthy young lady spoke, she glanced at Jennie in suspicion. She suppressed her voice to continue: "The entire jewelry industry was startled when this blue diamond was initially found. My family works in the jewel business. Back then, my father was even contemplating heading overseas to study it. But before he could have the opportunity, this diamond was already bought. Who would have thought that it would be with her."

The only other noise in the room came from the air-conditioner. Although the two ladies kept their voices soft, they could still be heard clearly.

At this time, the two makeup artists standing behind Mina and Jennie did not dare the speak. In fact, the makeup artist by Jennie's side was still trembling in fright after accidentally touching the aforementioned blue diamond.

Jennie knew that this blue diamond was especially precious. However, back when Grandfather Manoban handed it to her, she did not expect that it was actually costly to this degree. She took another look at the round, blue diamond that was reflecting radiant blue rays, and strangely felt that her initial estimation of up to several billion was too little. A diamond like this with a clarity grade of FL was one that could shake the entire jewelry industry; one could only hope to find one every thousand years.

On the other side, Mina's expression could not be simply described as 'poor.' She took the opportunity while no one was watching her, she tugged off the pink diamond necklace from her neck. She shoved it into her bag and glanced toward the side at Jennie's blue diamond. Her teeth were itching from the hatred she felt.

Although she had never heard much about this blue diamond, as she saw the way these two notable young ladies were discussing it and heard about the period when this diamond was discovered, she immediately understood how this diamond came to be in Jennie's hands.

It was Lisa.

It was the Manoban family.

Mina tightened her grip around her purse. She had thought that after enduring through all the turbulent days outside, she had already learned to conceal and tolerate in front of Jackson. However, she never thought that she would experience this much injustice with Jennie around.

Before leaving the makeup room, Mina intentionally brushed past Jennie's side. She intentionally lowered her voice to say: "You had such a precious gem in your bag, yet you didn't bring it out to wear. It seems like you were too embarrassed to put it on. After all, it's a gift from your ex-husband. The person you knew is already far away, and when you reunite, you reunite as strangers. How could you possibly dare to display it out to the world?"

Jennie paused in her footsteps. Just as Mina assumed that she had successfully landed a blow to her heart, Jennie blinked. Her eyes were curved with a smile. "If you have the spare energy to worry about me, you should take the time to check out the source of your pink diamond properly. The pink diamond auctioned off at Edinburgh was originally gifted to me by my mentor and investor. I found the pink diamond too youthful for my tastes and never wore it. Afterward, I received my mentor's permission and auctioned it off at Edinburgh. The proceeds were all donated to charity. I didn't pay much attention after it was auctioned off, but who would have thought that Jackson would buy it and actually gifted it to you."

Although Mina's expression was unchanged, her heart was beating frantically.

Jennie shifted her gaze away, lifting one corner of her lips to say, "It's true that I don't enjoy wearing accessories. But it's unavoidable that I'll occasionally experience the urge to collect diamonds. We're women after all. We'll always have a few pieces that we admire. Unfortunately, the diamond you brought out to show off today is precisely the one that I don't enjoy. Back then, we sent it off to Edinburgh under JM Group's name and donated it to the International Children's Heart Foundation. In fact, when my mentor first gifted it to me, he paid more than two billion won for it. Who would have thought that the price would be pushed up to sixteen billion won. It seems like I should really thank Jackson and you for your generous donation to the young children suffering from heart disease."
