Chapter 273 The Flagship Piece
While suggesting that they buy it, Casimir studied the expression on Raylee’s face.
He refused to believe that she would remain completely unmoved after he had spent a fortune on an engagement ring for Waverly.
In the end, he was still left disappointed as Raylee’s heart was truly as calm as still water.
Feeling incredibly agitated, he tugged at his restrictive tie.
Waverly, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, looked toward Casimir, excitement ringing in her voice as she exclaimed, “Is it true? Casimir, are you really going to buy it for me?”
However, Margaret disagreed with his decision. “Caz, if the engagement ring alone costs over eighty million, then what about the wedding ring? And the three pieces of gold jewelry? Isn’t it a bit reckless to splurge like this now? Just because we can afford it, doesn’t mean we should spend without considering the consequences.”
Casimir glanced at Raylee, persistent as ever, he continued to provoke her, saying, “Wavy is my future wife. As long as it brings her joy, no matter what she desires, I’m more than happy to buy it for her.”
Waverly was deeply moved, her hand covering her mouth as she quietly sobbed.
She had assumed she would be humiliated in front of a large crowd, but to her surprise, Casimir was exceptionally kind to her.
Ha! I’m not the loser here! Raylee is the one who has truly lost! It’s often said that a man’s heart resides where his wealth is. Casimir must have feelings for me, otherwise he wouldn’t be throwing money around for my sake!
“Caz, why do you insist on playing the fool?” Margaret asked, venting her frustration.
Although Casimir would be marrying the real heiress of the Goodridge family, Waverly did grow up in the countryside. To the Sutherland family, that alone was a huge loss for them.
As such, she couldn’t possibly she swallow her pride and let Casimir play the fool like this.
Raylee calmly chimed in from the side, “Mrs. Sutherland, there’s no need for you to get upset. Your birthday is coming up, isn’t it? Why don’t you let Waverly give you a birthday gift in return?”
Waverly nodded. “Raylee is right. Don’t worry, Mom. I’m not the kind of person who only takes advantage of others. I’ll definitely choose the best birthday gift for you.”
As she spoke, she turned toward Raylee and asked with a pleading expression, “Raylee, what kind of jewelry do you think we should give Mom? Please don’t suggest those that are only worth a few million or even thirty million. Mom deserves only the best!”
If the Goodridge family knew that Casimir had given her a diamond ring worth more than eighty million, they would undoubtedly want to reciprocate with an even more valuable piece of jewelry, such as something worth a hundred million or even two hundred million.
Waverly was brimming with confidence, thinking she would surely redeem her reputation in front of Margaret this time.
A hint of intrigue curled up the corners of Raylee’s lips. “The best, huh? That’s got to be the shop’s flagship piece, then! Have you heard of Blue Arctic Star? It’s an incredibly beautiful necklace. What do you think, Waverly?”
Upon hearing that, Waverly felt a pang of unease in her heart. “The flagship piece?”
If the best diamond rings from the Twin Blossoms collection are all valued at over eighty million, then the store’s flagship piece should be even more expensive, right?
She was incessantly filled with doubt, unsure if her family could cover the costs if it exceeded two hundred million.
Upon hearing that it was the flagship piece of the shop, Margaret’s eyes lit up with excitement. “I’ve also heard of the Blue Arctic Star. Rumor has it that the centerpiece is a flawless blue diamond weighing in at a massive four hundred carats! It’s incredibly rare!”

Raylee subtly signaled the store manager, who had started from the bottom as a salesperson, and had become adept at reading people.
The store manager immediately stepped forward and said, “You truly have a discerning eye, Mrs. Sutherland. This necklace is vibrant and elegant. A hundred diamonds, each meticulously cut from blue diamond, are individually set along the chain. The total weight of the necklace comes to an impressive six hundred carats. It took ten designers a hundred days to complete, with every detail meticulously crafted, showcasing exquisite workmanship.”
With that said, Margaret’s eyes sparkled even brighter.
No woman could resist the allure of jewelry, especially those of such a luxurious caliber.
This flagship piece of the store had evolved beyond mere luxury. It had become a symbol of wealth and s
Waverly felt a little relieved after hearing that.

A four hundred carat blue diamond? That’s just a little over half the weight of my diamond ring! The price should be less than two

Jeremiah managed to outbid–us for a pink diamond. It was as big as this, yet it was only worth just a little over two hundred million. A blue diamond couldn’t outshine a pink one, could it?
Determined to make an impression that day, Waverly slipped off to the restroom and made a phone call, asking her family for some money.
