Chapter 44 Secret of Ocean

"Find a place to stay, and come out when it's time to cut the cake. If I see you at other times, I'll throw you out."

He threatened her again and even looked menacing.

At that moment, Henry, who had just been pestered by Blanche, actually walked over.

Henry was just nearby, sipping his drink and watching the show.

"I apologize for not congratulating you on getting married yet. Blanche looks lively, though I don't know what she looks like. This banquet is much more interesting with her around." Henry raised his glass to Louis.

Blanche was stunned. She knew Henry deliberately emphasized the words "lively" to imply that she was a troublemaker. Besides, he meant she was ugly by saying that he didn't know what she looked like.

"No need to congratulate me. I've already received your gift. I'll also give you a gift when you marry Miss Yonng." Louis replied coldly.

"I'm looking forward to it. But I'm curious. How can you repay me with an equally valuable gift since Vivi has such a nice background and character?"

Henry's face twitched, and then turned and left. However, he deliberately paused and turned to look at Blanche teasingly.

"Keep a watchful eye on your wife. Unlike you, I don't discriminate between women."

Blanche was stunned, and her lips twitched slightly.

These two men were crazy. They were actually attacking her appearance while competing with each other.

She now fully agreed with Eric's words. Henry was a jerk.

"This man is insane." Blanche lowered her head and muttered softly.

"What are you muttering about again?" Louis's face was already gloomy, and now he looked even more indifferent after being provoked by Henry.

Blanche's heart shrank when she met Louis's gaze.

"Nothing."

"Mr. Herbart." Ryan quickly settled Jolin and hurried back.

"What did I just say? Why are you standing here?"

Blanche was startled by Louis's cold gaze and left, heading toward the lounge.

When she passed the dessert area, several women gathered there and surrounded Cathy. Blanche paused and took a closer look.

Cathy had just played a trick on her and caused her to make a fool of herself, and even deliberately let her go to deliver wine, making her think that Louis had an illegitimate child. How could she not retaliate?

After listening for a few sentences carefully, Blanche roughly understood. The women surrounding Cathy were complimenting the diamond bracelet on her wrist.

"Miss Bird, the diamonds on your bracelet are so beautiful."

"Of course, this diamond is called the Secret of Ocean. It's been passed down since the 18th century. There is only one in the world, so it's naturally precious. Even if you are rich, you can't buy it."

Cathy proudly raised the necklace in her hand.

The Secret of Ocean?

Blanche became very interested. If she remembered correctly, the Secret of Ocean was still overseas and had not even reached the domestic market.

"What? Is there only one in the world? Miss Bird, you're really amazing to get such a rare item."

Blanche turned her head and looked around the center of the banquet hall. Louis was busy talking to Ryan and didn't have time to look over here. Nice! She quickly walked over to Cathy and pretended to be curious as she looked at the blue gemstone.

"The Secret of Ocean, let me see. It's indeed beautiful."

When Cathy saw Blanche approach and even look envious, she became so proud.

"Of course! Don't touch it with your dirty hand, or you can't afford to pay for it."

Being teased by her, Blanche wasn't angry but instead spoke mysteriously, "You know what? The Secret of Ocean has a characteristic. When it's exposed to a strong light, it emits seven colors of light, which is especially beautiful."

"What? The Secret of Ocean emits seven colors of light. That's so amazing."

But Cathy's expression changed when she heard this. She instinctively withdrew her hand.

Blanche nodded seriously.

"Yes, it's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can ask anyone who knows about jewelry. There's a legend that says whoever sees the seven colors of light will be very lucky."

"Wow, that's wonderful. I have to see the seven colors of light. Luckily, I brought a small flashlight."

Saying that, the girl took out a mini gold flashlight from her bag and shone it on Cathy's hand.

Cathy, feeling guilty, tried to pull her hand back.

"I suddenly feel a little unwell. I won't want to talk anymore."

But the girl heard that seeing the seven colors of light would bring luck, so how could she let Cathy go?

"It won't take long. Let me see it too. If I see the seven colors of light, I'll be lucky... Wait, why isn't it emitting any light?"

"Yeah, why isn't it emitting any light?" Another girl was also puzzled.

The girl was puzzled and shone the flashlight on the diamond a few times, but it didn't emit seven colors of light. She tried a few different angles but still couldn't see the light.

She then looked up and asked Blanche, "It's not emitting any light. You said it would emit seven colors of light, didn't you?"

Blanche smiled mysteriously.

"If it's not emitting any seven colors of light, it can only mean that this blue diamond isn't the Secret of Ocean. If it were the real Secret of Ocean, it would definitely emit seven colors of light. As I said, if you don't believe me, you can ask someone who knows about jewelry."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Blanche, shut up."

Cathy's face darkened immediately as she glared angrily at Blanche. It was strange. How did Blanche know so much about the Secret of Ocean?

The real Secret of Ocean was so rare. How could she get it so easily?

"Ah, Miss Bird, is this a fake Secret of Ocean?"

Cathy began to argue.

"It's real. There's obviously something wrong with your flashlight."

"Humph, I think you're just making an excuse out of anxiety. Your diamond is fake. You're lying."

"That's right. You deceived us because you thought we knew nothing about jewelry. It's outrageous and unethical."

Cathy couldn't outargue the few of them. She became angry and embarrassed, glaring at Blanche.

Blanche wasn't afraid and instead glanced at Louis. Oh no, she saw Louis turning his body to look over.

Blanche left immediately.
