?Chapter 595:
Meanwhile, Clifton, Kieran, and Damian had already switched to calctor mode. That many diamonds had to be worth a billion, easy. Cole really didn’t hold back. A billion-dor gift a day, with no repeats. Now that was next-level extravagance.
But Elliana’s face didn’t light up. If anything, her mood darkened. Diamonds? Now? She cursed Cole under her breath. He couldn’t have missed harder if he’d tried. She didn’t want gems—she wanted food. What was she supposed to do with the diamonds? Eat them?
Myles, like Hugh, had one job: watch Elliana’s reaction and report back to Cole. He studied her face closely. When he saw not even a flicker of joy, his heart sank. Cole was deep in his win-her-back campaign, and if progress stalled, his mood would sour. And when Cole was in a bad mood, everyone felt it. Elliana’s…
Approval was basically their lifeline. Right now, she seemed unimpressed by Cole’s offering.
Still unaware of Myles’ silent panic, Elliana turned a frostbitten stare on him.
“What’s that in your hand?” Elliana asked.
Myles snapped out of his daze and quickly held out a small, elegant box with both hands. “Ms. Marsh, Mr. Evans said that, since you’re the famous Master Rosa, known worldwide for your luxury jewelry designs, he’s gifting you a diamond mine. Now, you’ll never have to worry about materials again.”
Myles’ words stunned Clifton, Kieran, Heather, and Damian. Cole was giving Elliana an entire diamond mine? Eyes wide, mouths open—they were dying to see what was inside that box.
Even Elliana looked shaken. Just yesterday, Cole had given her a candypany worth billions. That alone felt over the top. But now, a diamond mine? Seriously? She opened the sleek box, pulled out the papers, and skimmed through them. Her eyesnded on the name: Kunani Diamond Mine. Her brows lifted slightly.
The Kunani Diamond Mine wasn’t just any mine—it was a legend. Anyone in the jewelry world had heard of it. Located in Sundara, it was famous for producing some of the world’s rarest diamonds. Thergest raw diamond ever found came from this mine. Experts estimated its value at around twenty billion.
Clifton, Kieran, Heather, and Damian weren’t clueless. As Elliana read the documents, the four of them leaned closer and inhaled sharply, all at once. Holy shit. Just a second ago, they were still gushing over how Cole spoiled Elliana, giving her gifts worth billions, never repeating the same thing twice. But now? Day one: a billion-dor candypany. Day two: a twenty-billion-dor diamond mine. At this rate, what was he nning to give her on day three? A continent?
While her four subordinates stood there in silent shock, Elliana showed no reaction. Not a hint of surprise. Not even a raised brow. “Please ry my gratitude to Mr. Evans for his… generous gift,” she said calmly, eyes fixed on Myles. “But do tell him—he should think twice before doing things like this. I’m not some girl he can impress with money. He might end up getting nothing in return.”
Myles offered a polite, slightly awkward smile and gave a small bow. “Understood.”

Just like Hugh the day before, Myles couldn’t help roasting Cole in his head. Cole brought this upon himself. Back when Elliana adored Cole—kissing him, hugging him, calling him Coley like he was her whole world—he had to keep his mental illness from her and divorce her to protect her. Now that they were divorced, she didn’t give a damn about him, and he was throwing mountains of money at her just to win her back. And it seemed his efforts didn’t sway her in the slightest. This situation was his doing.
Of course, nobody knew what was running through Myles’s head.
