Five hundred million was not a small amount of money. Even for the Felix family which had a great heritage, it was challenging to raise five hundred million in cash at once!
Sasha nodded happily, turned around and ran out. She would raise five hundred million by any means possible.
“Claire, what are you doing?” asked Sean.
On the coffee table in front of Claire laid eight necklaces in a variety of colors and gemstones, looking dazzling at a glance.
Propping her chin with her fingers, Claire carefully scrutinized the necklaces and replied absently, “I’m choosing a necklace to participate in the Jewelry Fair.”
With this, she looked up and waved at Sean who was standing next to her as she said, “Come on. Heli me choose one.”
Sean had heard of the Jewelry Fair before, which had a high reputation in the whole Southeast Asion and was a big event in the jewelry world.
He carefully sized up each necklace, and then asked, “Which one is your least favorite?”
“Least favorite one?”
Claire looked at the several necklaces, pouted and hummed with disappointment, “These are all my own designs, just like my children. How could you ask me which one is my least favorite?”
Sean’s brows twitched immediately. It seemed as if he had irritated Claire unintentionally. Clearing his throat lightly, he pulled Claire into his arms and said in a very serious manner, “I mean, the exhibits at the Jewelry Fair would be under the hammer, and since it is going to be sold, I think you should take your least favorite one and keep those you like most. Anyway, we don’t lack money.”
Looking at Sean’s serious look, Claire burst into laughter, raised her hand and gave a punch to his shoulder as she said. “Sir, others participate in the Jewelry Fair with their best things. Why should we bring a not–en–onnd one there? The lowelns Foir ie vant influential in the whole

Looking at Sean’s serious look, Claire burst into laughter, raised her hand and gave a punch to his shoulder as she said. “Sir, others participate in the Jewelry Fair with their best things. Why should we bring a not–so–good one there? The Jewelry Fair is very influential in the whole Southeast Asion.
We’d better take it more seriously.”
After saying that, Claire propped her chin with her hand again, looking at the several necklaces on
the coffee table, hesitating.
Sean raised his hand and held his forehead. It wasn’t that he didn’t know the importance of the
Jewelry Fair, but he did want to keep all the things Claire liked.
His line of sight once again fell on those several necklaces, each of which was well–made. gorgeous
and noble. Claire had perfectly displayed the brilliance of those gems with her excellent design. To
be honest, he really couldn’t see which one was better. Besides, beauty appreciation varies among
people.
The one that one likes should naturally be the best.
“How about…”
Seeing Claire’s difficulty in choosing, Sean stopped his slender finger on the ruby necklace and
said, “How about this one?”
The ruby on that necklace was made from the raw stone as a present to Claire and was as big as a
thumb. Even in the entire ruby world, it was the top of the line.
Claire pouted, a little reluctant to part with it in her heart, and said, “No, I’m planning to give
it to Belle as a dowry.”
“Dowry…”
Sean’s eyebrows twitched fiercely. Belle was only four years old, but Claire was actually already preparing her dowry. It seemed too early!

preparing her dowry. It seemed too early!

Pointing again at a necklace set with rarest diamonds and emeralds, Sean asked tentatively, “And how
about this one?”
However, Claire shook her head and explained, “I plan to give it to Julia as a dowry.”
Sean was rendered speechless.
What should he say?
If every necklace had a specific purpose, then why did she take them out?
Sean pursed his lips hard, feeling that Claire was just teasing him.
Claire struggled to make a decision for another while, but failed to figure it out, so she could only put this matter aside for the time being.
Actually, Claire had a lot of collections. She had met a lot of good raw stones over the years when she traveled around, and she made them into products after buying them. Julia knew this.
Seeing Claire at a loss, looking like she couldn’t part with any of them, Julia blinked at her and said smilingly in her ear, “Don’t you still have one more?”
Claire turned her head to look at Julia, confusion rising in her dark brown eyes, and asked, “Which
one?”
“Jesus!”
Julia smiled even weirder as she uttered, “You know it!”
Claire stared at the smile on Julia’s face and suddenly realized, saying, “I got it. How could I
forget it?”
There were a lot of formalities beforehand for the Jewelry Fair, one of which was that every participant company had to bring their jewelry to the exhibitor for an official appraisal.
After all, they were likely to be under the hammer, so they couldn’t be defective or fake, otherwise not only the company’s reputation would be undermined, but the organizer would also be questioned

A week before the Jewelry Fair was held, Claire started to pack her things and prepared to go there.
Julia naturally would go with her. Sean also intended to go with her after handing over all the work. in his hand. Besides, Frederick, who didn’t like to go out or join the fun, actually wanted to go
with them this time.
Looking at the serious expression on Frederick’s face, Claire was so surprised that the half–eaten apple in her hand almost fell on the ground, and she inquired, “Mr. Frederick, are you serious?”
Frederick lightly nodded his head, replying, “Absolutely.”
“Ahem…”
Claire laughed uneasily, turned her face away and blinked at Sean. She hoped that Sean could talk to Frederick later. After all, they were there to work, not to play.
Sean got what she meant and helplessly tilted his head, indicating that he couldn’t persuade
Frederick.
“Ahem…”
Claire had no choice but to cough dryly to hide her embarrassment. Taking a bite of the apple, she reluctantly agreed, “Alright then, Mr. Frederick, hope you won’t get bored.”
Frederick laughed softly, stood up and left.
The following day.
In late autumn, the temperature dropped rapidly. Claire was wearing a big white fluffy coat on top, a beige line skirt underneath, and a pair of boots, looking very youthful and sunny.
Julia ran out dragging her suitcase while saying. “I’m coming! I’m coming!”
Soon, Frederick also pulled his suitcase and walked out at an elegant pace.
Looking at them, Claire waved her small hand and called out excitedly. “Let’s go!”
