Everyone was stunned.

What was going on? Shares turned into a pebble?

Before Stella and her mother could react, Mason Pearson was the first to lose his composure.

He maintained a stiff smile. "Lily, since this Tristone is so important to your parents, how can you give it away?"

Stella also came to her senses and immediately said, "It's too precious. I can't accept it. Lily, why don't you choose something else!"

However, Lily looked determined. "I must give it to my cousin. This is Mom and Dad's best blessing!"

Beside her, although Olivia was 'heartbroken', she could only endure the pain. "Stella, just accept it. After all, Lily has already taken it out..."

With that, she reluctantly wiped away the tears she had managed to squeeze out.

Some of the people who were jealous of the Pearson family echoed in agreement.

"Miss Pearson, just accept it. It's not easy for her. You must preserve it well!"

Stella's temples throbbed with anger, but she was in a difficult position. She had no choice but to accept this pebble!

What Tristone? She felt like it was picked up from the flower bed at the entrance!

Just as she was suspiciously looking at Olivia, Olivia suddenly exclaimed,

"Stalla, are you having an allergic reaction? You have a rash on your collarbone!"

Hearing this, Stella's heart sank.

She had woken up this morning with marks all over her body, so she had to choose a more conservative evening gown and spent over two hours applying concealer.

Was it revealing now?

Stella hurriedly looked down.

But Olivia had already reached out and touched her collarbone.

Instantly, the red marks were revealed under Olivia's touch.

Everyone present was perceptive, and they could easily tell the difference between an allergy and a hickey.

In an instant, all the eyes looking at Stella were filled with deep meaning.

Even Kevin, who had been silent the whole time, frowned upon seeing this scene.

Stella was trembling all over, barely able to control herself from slapping Olivia.

But she could only maintain a forced smile and explain, "Oh, I'm allergic to pollen. I don't know if it's because I touched flowers today."

Megan couldn't care about anything else now. She hurriedly signaled to her daughter with her eyes.

"Stella, go apply some ointment quickly. What if it gets worse later?"

Stella could only suppress her emotions and nod. "Yes, please excuse me for a moment, everyone."

With that, she hurriedly left.

In the hall, Olivia stood beside Lily and secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Lily lowered her eyes to look, snorted, but after a few seconds, the corners of her mouth curled up.

Forget it. Her sister was the first to relent today. She just wouldn't argue with her in the future.

Behind them, the two lawyers, seeing that Lily clearly had no intention of transferring the shares, left.

The two Pearsons seeing this were cursing in their hearts, but they didn't dare to force Lily to sign in public.

But just then, a somewhat shrill voice rang out—

"Where is my diamond ring?"

The woman was Mrs. Wright, and the Wright family was known for their domineering attitude in the oil business in the capital.

Upon hearing Mrs. Wright's exclamation, someone hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Wright, is it the ring made from the exorbitantly priced diamond Mr. Wright bought for you eight years ago?"

Mrs. Wright immediately nodded. "That's the one! It was just in my handbag. I took it off because I went to wash my hands in the restroom earlier, and I was about to put it back on when it disappeared!"

Hearing this, Megan immediately said sternly, "Mrs. Wright, don't worry. Since it was lost at our party, we'll help you find it!"

Mrs. Wright acknowledged and said, "I've already called the police. They'll be here soon!"

Stella, who had just returned from touching up her makeup, was the first to take out her handbag for inspection upon hearing this.

Megan also followed suit and handed over her handbag, then turned to Olivia.

"Olivia, let Mrs. Wright see your bag too. As the hosts, we should first put Mrs. Wright's mind at ease..."

Olivia heard this and the corners of her lips curled up. "Sure."

Soon, everyone saw that Stella and Megan's bags only contained phones and cosmetics, so they turned their attention to Olivia's.

As soon as the bag was opened, a square jewelry box rolled out.
