The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret novel Chapter 439

Daphne felt that continuing her confrontation with Frey would only tarnish the reputation of Aurell Jewelry and diminish her own status.

Deciding she had made her point, she turned to leave. Her strategy was to spread the rumor of Frey’s imprisonment, which she hoped would deter the wealthy clients from purchasing Frey’s designs, thus driving down their value.

However, just as Daphne was about to walk away, Frey’s taunting voice reached her.

"Ms. Daphne, are you afraid that the truth about your fake emerald might be exposed? It must be embarrassing. After all, you've managed to rise from being an 18th-tier starlet to a model, undergone plastic surgery, and ended up as Mr. Michael's mistress for years."

"That would indeed be quite humiliating if you were caught with a fake."

Daphne spun around, her eyes cold. If there hadn’t been so many people around, she would have slapped Frey on the spot.

"Frey, how dare you boast? Everyone knows how you climbed into Mr. Nathaniel’s bed. What makes you so superior?"

The surrounding guests were momentarily stunned, whispering among themselves, unaware of the full story.

Frey merely chuckled. In the past, she might have reacted with anger, but after all she had been through, she now knew how to strike back effectively.

She had learned to target her attacks precisely, minimizing any collateral damage.

She looked at Daphne with a cold gaze. "Yes, we both made our way to the top through our relationships, but there’s a difference."

"Aside from the chain around your neck, what else do you truly own? Your shares in Aurell Jewelry are probably all under Mr. Michael’s name. Even if he were to become ill, he hasn’t transferred any shares to you."

Daphne’s face went pale.

Daphne was taken aback. Frey’s calm, steady gaze did not waver. "One more thing—you will have to declare publicly, 'I'm crazy and delusional,' three times in front of everyone."

The crowd erupted in laughter, finding the condition childish.

Daphne hadn’t anticipated Frey’s naive terms, but she was confident she wouldn’t lose.

Her extensive experience in the jade business and her familiarity with numerous jade appraisers made her confident in her position.

As the eldest daughter of the Gomez family, Frey made mistakes, including bringing Nathaniel back, which caused turmoil for the Gomez family.

Despite her troubles, Daphne was determined not to be outdone.
