Chapter 47
Adrian and Belle shortly arrived at the headquarters of Southrive’s Swallowston Jewelers.
There, Belle brought out a ne to show Adrian and said, “This ne is called the Heart of the
Sea. It’s made from Graff Pink diamond, also known to be the most precious gemstone in the world.
“Its cut, color, and rity make one feel like they’re looking at the ocean. Its heart–shaped design is
how it got its name.
“This ne is the most precious piece of our collection. It was previously auctioned at Paolo
Auctioneers with a starting price of twelve million dors, but nobody was able to afford it.
“After that, this ne was crowned to be fit for a goddess and has been in numerous exhibitions
bothrge and small. You could even say that it’s as popr as a celebrity, holding the love of
countless people.”
Adrian took a look at the ne.
“She’s right, it does seem very outstanding. With how it’s able to exhibit a woman’s elegance, it’s
specially made for women. I doubt any ordinary woman would be able to handle its effect.”
Belle then continued, “Mr. Adrian, I’m sure the Heart of the Sea has been made especially for someone
mature, beautiful, kind, and elegant like Ms. Samantha.”
Belle had a very keen eye for women since she was one herself.
Adrian took another look at the ne and came to believe Belle’s judgment even more.
“All right, I’ll take it. Remember to state in the receipt that the ne cost three thousand dors and
pack it in an ordinary–looking box. I’ll pay you whatever price you ask.”
The ne was a priceless piece, so much so that it was said to be invaluable throughout all of
Southrive seeing how Belle had chosen to put it up for exhibition rather than sell it off. However, since
Adrian was the one who made the request, it was only natural for her to oblige.
With a smile, Belle said, “This ne had a starting price of twelve million dors back at the auction
before I decided to not sell it. So, I’ll now charge you that exact price without any interest since you
want it. Consider this a present from me to Ms. Samantha.”
Money was not important to Belle. Instead, what she aimed for was to build a connection with the
legate.
“I’m not sure if you know, but Mr. Lucas has asked me to sell this piece to him many times, but I
couldn’t bring it upon myself to do it.”
Adrian merely smiled. Naturally, he was not going to take advantage of Belle by taking the ne for
free. However, he now owed Belle a favor.
Adrian then said, “Thank you for your kindness. I’ll have Lucas personally bring over your moneyter.”
“Understood, Mr. Adrian.” Belle nodded.
Belle knew that people like Adrian no longer cared for meager things like money, unlike people like
herself who conducted business for the sake of it.
That night after Adrian left with the Heart of the Sea, Swallowston Jewelers posted on their social
media ount that the ne had been bought by a mysterious man at twelve million dors. This
caused a huge stir among the people.
After all, the Heart of the Sea was a piece that has always been limited to exhibitions. The fact that
Belle had chosen to sell it off must mean this mysterious man had an extraordinary identity.
“I doubt even Donald Kushner, the richest man in Swallowston, would be willing to spend twelve million
dors on a single ne!”
Many people from Southrive began a heated discussion.

There were even rumors that the identity of this mysterious man who bought the ne was the
legate himself.
Adrian simply had no idea how big of a stir he had caused.
Samantha woke up early the next morning. Rue already had breakfast prepared, waiting for the
younger ones to wake up.
Adaline and Samantha were standing before the bathroom mirror and doing their makeup when
Adaline said, “Did you hear? Someone bought the Heart of the Sea from Swallowston Jewelers. It’s
said to be the most precious piece they had, and it was sold for twelve million dors!”
Both women had heard of the ne before. They had even seen it at exhibitions in the past.
