My Toyboy 330
Chapter 330
After hearing that, everyone showed looks of disgust and even tok a step back. Shirley was also stunned.
However, David stepped forward to lighten the mood. “Ms. Jones, it seems like you accidentally lost it while you were, um, taking a break. Now that it’s returned, maybe you should make sure your jewelry is kept safe”
Shirley was absolutely furious. She couldn’t understand how the jewelry she personally hid in Cynthia’s bag and watched the whole time ended up in the toilet, only to be retrieved by the cleaning staff. The rose brooch was still dripping wet and might even have toilet water on it.
David reminded Shirley again to put away the jewelry, but she stood there without moving.
Cynthia spoke up. “I suppose my sister finds the jewelry too disgusting after it fell into the toilet. If she doesn’t want it, perhaps the organizers can donate it to charity.
As soon as Shirley heard this, she quickly reacted. ‘She spent fifteen million dollars on this piece of jewelry. Even if Cynthia tricked her, its true value is at least six million dollars. Donate it to charity. Cynthia must be doing this on purpose, she thought.
Shirley immediately rushed forward, grabbing the rose brooch right out of the attendant’s hands with the tray. Shirley said angrily, “Cynthia, this is my stuff. You have no right to make decisions for me.”
Cynthia just gave a slight smile, not bothering to argue back. But the onlookers were whispering among themselves. After seeing Shirley take the tray, some even deliberately covered their mouths and noses, as if the jewels in her hand had just been fished out of a toilet, or so they made it seem.
Shirley was fuming. She cared about her reputation, but she couldn’t just stand by and watch as Cynthia casually donated six million dollars.
David signaled that the auction for the Queen’s Tears was about to begin. But Jonathan stepped forward and said, “Ms. Jones should first apologize to my wife.”
The crowd suddenly remembered, with some playfully chiming in, “Oh right, if this lady slandered Mrs. Bennett, she had to bark like a dog three times.”
Everyone was there to watch the spectacle. Shirley’s face turned bright red. She thought, “Why is it that every time she tries
outwit Cynthia, it always ends up backfiring on her. In front of everyone, she’s supposed to bark like a dog?

‘Shirley knew today was being broadcast live worldwide. If she really barked like a dog, how she gonna fit in with the high society later?‘ Shirley looked at Cynthia and thought. Cynthia’s gaze was calm and cold, as if she was waiting for Shirley to ask her for help.
Shirley wasn’t about to beg her. Instead, she quickly turned to Whitney. “Ms. Bennett, I’m here with you today. Could you please help me out?”
Shirley felt she had a strong supporter, and that was Whitney. She had come with Whitney today, IF Cynthia wanted to trouble her, but that meant going after Whitney too. By escalating the confrontation, Shirley could get herself out of the situation.
Whitney noticed Shirley move closer, and a flicker of annoyance crossed her face. She thought. This Shirley… more trouble than she’s worth. But she also felt that Cynthia was purposefully trying
to challenge her by being difficult with Shirley. Whitney wouldn’t let anyone challenge her authority or show disrespect.
Whitney stepped out and said, “It was just a misunderstanding. Now that it’s cleared up, I believe Ms. Jones isn’t one to hold grudges. With so many honored guests here, it wouldn’t be wise to take up everyone’s precious time with personal issues.”
With just a few words, Whitney cut off Cynthia’s escape routes. Shirley was secretly pleased and thought, she had certainly

the corner of her mouth. “I understand what Ms. Bennet micans. You should respect the owner’s dog. Since Shirley is your faithful pet, there’s no need for her to bark at all:
Cynthia then turned around gracefully and said to David. “Please continue with the auction.
David stepped onto the stage, asking the guests to return to their seats. Whitney originally wanted to compete with Cynthia, but was surprised at how easily Cynthia gave in, feeling like she was hitting a pillow. Although she got what she wanted, but it still left her feeling a bit off.
Shirley felt even worse. Although Cynthia didn’t push her to bark like a dog, calling herself Whitney’s dog in front of everyone effectively labeled her. People’s looks were filled with contempt, as if she had turned into an unnoticed stray.
Shirley was fuming inside. Unwillingly, she returned to her spot at the very edge, gritting her teeth in anger as she looked at Cynthia, seated at the center stage and adored by everyone.
David finally took the stage. The previous display stands had disappeared, leaving only one stand. It remained empty. drawing surprise and anticipation from the guests below.
Mr. David eagerly spoke. The Queen’s Tear was personally designed by Miss Y. It’s a treasure and marvel in the jewelry world. Now, let’s welcome Mr. Wright on stage to unveil its mystery.”
Simon took to the stage for the second time. The audience couldn’t help but start applauding. Their eyes were full of expectation. Many were already standing, eager to the significant moment of the Queen’s Tear being revealed to the
world.
Simon stood by the display pedestal and gently placed his hand on the glass. It was as if he had triggered some mechanism. as a dazzling piece of jewelry slowly emerged before everyone’s eyes.
The jewelry inside the display was synchronized with the large screen behind the stage. The holographic platform provided a whole view of the jewelry and magnified a hundred times, exhibiting every detail to the audience.
Everyone present took a deep breath and couldn’t help but stand up. Even though they had seen Miss Y’s design sketches on social media and had been captivated by the ingenious design, the actual piece made them amazed.
A rare 392–carat Kashmir Sapphire was artfully set in a necklace with bright cut diamond tassels. The sapphire was shaped like a teardrop, radiant and dazzling, with a touch of purple in its blue. It
was like a sleeping queen slowly awakening and her blue eyes open with grace and nobility, radiating breathtaking brilliance,
“It’s truly a miracle in the jewelry world. I am completely captivated.”
“Miss Y is amazing. It’s like she brought this gem to life. Its beauty is beyond imagination.”
“I’m determined to get this gem today, no matter the cost.”
