My Toyboy 333
Chapter 333
Everyone followed her gaze. A man walked onto the stage from the back and finally stopped next to Cynthia. It was Simon Wright.
Simon was the founder of QUEEN Jewelry. Cynthia seemed to be close to him. Simon’s eyes were cold and sharp. He glanced around the room with a cold face. Wherever his gaze fell, there was total silence.
In the end, his intense, sullen gaze fixed on Shirley’s face. Their eyes met, and Shirley shivered unexpectedly. She felt a chill run down her spine, as if she was possessed by a ghost. Her heart trembled with fear.
Simon said, “Ms. Cynthia Jones is indeed Miss Y, the chief designer of QUEEN Jewelry. There’s no doubt about it. If anyone still doesn’t believe it, they will be permanently removed from the QUEEN’s VIP client list.”
Simon’s words shattered the last bit of doubt in everyone’s minds.
Simon was the founder of QUEEN Jewelry, so his words held the most authority. Shirley was completely stunned. She stepped back in disbelief.
At this moment, she knew that no matter what she said, no one would believe her anymore. Moreover, the looks people were giving her were now filled with disdain and contempt. Shirley’s fingers trembled with anger.
She wished she could pounce on Cynthia and tear her into pieces right now. She kept wondering why Luke failed to kill Cynthia last time. She really hated Cynthia so much.
Whitney wasn’t happy to see that Shirley was already defeated. She didn’t want to accept the fact that Cynthia was actually Miss Y because that would make her look foolish. She had spent 300 million dollars only to buy a design by her enemy.
Seeing that the situation had calmed down, David said, “Now, please hand over the Queen’s Tears to Ms. Bennett, Miss Y.” Cynthia walked toward the display case and placed her hand on the transparent glass alongside Simon.
In an instant, the glass on the display disappeared. Cynthia took out the sandalwood box holding the Queen’s Tears and walked up to Whitney.
Cynthia gave her a bright smile and said, “Congratulations, my dear sister–in–law. You’ve got what you came for.” She never called Whitney that in private, but now, in front of the public and millions watching in the live room, she did.
Her words would inevitably put their relationship in the spotlight and would likely make Whitney a global laughingstock.
Her sister–in–law was the renowned Miss Y, and she was completely unaware. She even spent 300 million dollars to buy one of her works. Everyone knew she was Jonathan’s sworn enemy.
Yet she eagerly pursued his wife’s work without knowing it, making herself look like a fool. Or perhaps it was a trap tailor- made for her.
She unknowingly fell right into their trap. There was no way she would let them humiliate her like that. So Whitney didn’t take the necklace from Cynthia’s hand.
Whitney said, “I’ve suddenly lost interest in this piece.” Cynthia’s expression didn’t change, as if she had expected Whitney’s
reaction.
Cynthia said calmly, “The auction rules are simple: both sides agree, and once the gavel falls, there’s no turning back. Whitney, if you don’t want this jewelry, I can resell it through an agency, but the money must be donated.
“That 300 million dollars is non–refundable, and you know the rules of the QUEEN Jewelry Auction.”
Whitney knew that, of course. Everything was in writing. Once the gavel fell, no one could back out unfless that person was willing to pay double the bid amount.

Even though 300 million dollars was not a small sum, Whitney wasn’t really worried. However, she wasn’t going to let Cynthia off the hook so easily.
85%
Spending 300 million dollars without receiving the jewelry and having it donated under QUEEN’s name–there was no way she’d quietly accept such a loss.
Whitney chuckled, “Ms. Jones, that’s not what I mean. I don’t want it, but I plan to give it to someone else. Just give the jewelry to her directly.”
“Shirley, come up here,” Whitney called out Shirley’s name without even glancing at her. Cynthia and Jonathan had set up for her.
Of course, she wasn’t going to let them have their way. She didn’t care about money at all. She would casually give the jewelry worth 300 million dollars to Shirley.
First, it showed her disregard for the jewelry. Second, it was a demonstration of her immense wealth in front of the world’s top capitalists.
Most importantly, she knew the relationship between Cynthia and Shirley. Queen’s Tears was Miss Y’s most cherished piece of jewelry, not only because of its high value but also its great collectability.
Whitney just wanted to throw Cynthia’s life’s work away like trash to a nobody, letting someone with no understanding of jewelry trample on it. That would be the ultimate insult for a designer.
The audience was stunned. No one expected Whitney to casually give away jewelry worth 300 million dollars. And everyone had seen what kind of person Shirley was.
She had no clue about jewelry and was just a noisy and rude person. Giving her this jewelry was like throwing pearls before
swine.
Moreover, it was clear to everyone that Miss Y and Shirley had some disagreements. Giving the jewelry to her would surely make Miss Y extremely upset.
But Shirley was overjoyed, almost unable to believe her ears. She thought, ‘Whitney is actually going to give me jewelry worth 300 million? ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“That’s 300 million! This must be one of the most expensive pieces of jewelry in the world. It’s something even the richest people haven’t gotten their hands on, yet now it belongs to me!‘
This was just like a dream. At this moment, Shirley didn’t care if this piece was designed by Cynthia. Whether Cynthia was Miss Y didn’t seem so important anymore.
All she was thinking about was 300 million. She just had it without any cost! Shirley stood there stunned for a few seconds, and then she dashed toward the stage.
She was afraid that Whitney might change her mind at any second. She rushed so fast that she even tripped on the steps. Whitney felt really scornful inside. But there was no better choice now. Cynthia’s expression remained unchanged.
Whitney couldn’t see any trace of anger on Cynthia’s face, which left Whitney a bit disappointed. Shirley was already standing beside Cynthia.
With a smug expression, she provocatively looked at Cynthia and said, “Cynthia, hurry up and give me Queen’s Tears. Thank you for creating such a beautiful design for me.”
Shirley felt like this was the highlight of her life. It was even more thrilling and exciting than when she almost won the Pillere Design Competition.
Cynthia’s prized creation ultimately became hers, and she had earned 300 million dollars. Countless top global financiers

and even royal princes and princesses could do nothing but stand below the stage, looking at her with envy.
Shirley felt as if she was standing on the highest cloud, finally shining brightly and looking down at everyone.
Even the holographic screen behind the stage was zooming in on her face. At this moment, all eyes in the world were on her!
