Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 647

Barrett had once teamed up with Chloe on a reality show. Maybe that’s when he got close to Claire. But in the upper echelons, that’s hardly surprising. Even the biggest stars are just playthings to the real power players.

When Lisa walked in, she took it all in. The exhibition hall was massive, yet had a charming vintage vibe. Besides the dazzling jewelry, there were also precious artifacts from long-gone royal palaces on display. Stepping inside, she was immediately wrapped in an aura of unique Western luxury—subtle, traditional, but with a rich history.

Before long, they reached the central exhibition area. The centerpiece featured several display cases crafted from agarwood, each encased in bulletproof glass. Inside, a treasure trove of jewelry sparkled. Just one look and Lisa’s heart was racing, dazzled by the brilliance. The collection was stunning: diamond necklaces, crowns, gem brooches, sapphire scepters—you name it. Each piece was a masterpiece, worth a fortune by just a glance.

The arrangement was meticulously done to form a petal shape, with a central display case at the heart. This case was the largest and took center stage, also covered in bulletproof glass. Yet, it was empty. Lisa found this puzzling. Why was the focal point devoid of any display? She wasn’t alone in her curiosity, though.

Barrett, standing beside Claire, asked, "Ms. Claire, why’s the main display case empty?"

Claire replied with a calm air, "That’s today’s grand reveal. The Queen Group is set to unveil the showstopper, 'The Queen's Tears.'"

"'The Queen's Tears'? Barrett was intrigued.

"It’s said to be a masterpiece by MISSY, a 309-carat Kashmir periwinkle sapphire, once given by the Saudi royals to Queen Elizabeth for her coronation. Strangely, it never appeared at the ceremony and only resurfaced half a century later."

Barrett was taken aback. "Ms. Claire, you're really interested in 'The Queen's Tears'?"

Lisa's flattery was a bit sudden. Claire turned to her, easily reading her intentions. Claire chuckled, "You can pick something for yourself too. I'll give you the same budget of fifty million."

Lisa’s eyes sparkled with surprise. "Thank you, Ms. Claire, thank you."

She hadn’t expected that a few compliments could earn her fifty million just like that. If she became one of Claire’s favorites, the wealth would be unimaginable. Her mind buzzed with excitement at the thought.

Just then, she spotted Chloe and Connor making their way over.
