บททั้งหมดของ Scorned Wife No More: A Queen Pampered by Three Tycoons: บทที่ 581 - บทที่ 590

Everyone's attention was captured by the sandalwood box when Timothy opened it. Intrigued, Mia looked at it, and she was surprised once she saw what was inside the box. It was a diamond tiara. It was antique, yet the stunning array of diamonds still glimmered under the light, portraying an ethereal glow which rendered the nearby guests breathless. Sharon almost toppled over when Timothy opened the box. She yearned for the tiara, longing for the day she would finally own it once Laura passed. Someone next to her steadied her and asked, "Is this the diamond tiara? I heard it belonged to a queen from the Victorian era, and the Barrett family bidded it at an auction to add it to their collection."As speechless as Sharon was, she was still seething. She was well aware of the tiara's history, and she knew what was in it once she laid eyes on the box. Her blood boiled when she realized Timothy was going to give this to Mia. This was hers! How could he give it to someone else?Mia was equal

Mia's fingers grazed past the jewelry on her wrist. It didn't seem like it was a set with her necklace. Doris' eyes were glued to her wrist as she exclaimed, "Is this Lumiere by Van Boucheron? The bracelet he designed for his crush? It's truly one of a kind!"Feeling perplexed, Mia looked at her wrist. She was no jewelry designer, but she had heard of Van Boucheron. He was renowned in the world of jewelry design, after all. The Lumiere was among the top ten of his best designs, so monumental that it inspired one of Vior's jewelry designs.The other socialites inhaled sharply. Envy bubbled in Sharon's eyes as she realized how much the Lanes pampered Mia. Eva replied calmly, "Yes, it's Lumiere. I don't have a lot of hobbies, but collecting jewelry is one of them. I longed to have a sister, and now that I finally have one, I can doll her up with my collection."Doris chuckled and said, "Ms. Delgado is a renowned jewelry collector in Nord City, but she keeps a really low profile. If it w

Seeing how everyone swooned over Mia, Shelly stomped her feet in frustration as she whined, "Aunt Sharon, look how smug she is now!"Sharon snorted. "No one asked for your two cents." She was aware of it too. "Aunt Sharon, it's not like I'm wrong. Anyone here would think Mia's actually the host, instead of you. She's already divorced from Timothy, she doesn't have the right to steal the show today!"Sharon was well aware of this, but she couldn't afford to offend Mia since she was the daughter of the Lane family now. Sharon might be the Lady of the Barrett family, but Laura was more superior than her. Timothy couldn't care less about her either. There was nothing she could do.Struggling to mask her defiance, she said with an awkward expression, "Right, I assume everyone's tired from all that talk. Why don't you all grab something to eat?"In fact, Mia felt quite hungry. She strode toward the dining area and grabbed some food. Eva was standing next to her. "Mia, did you see Mrs. Barr

Feeling helpless, Timothy croaked, "Grandma, you're making it worse.""Fine. As your grandma, I've already done what I can to help you out."Timothy was perplexed. "Grandma, why doesn't she let me court her?""Why does she have to? Did you tell her that you're going to court her because you've fallen in love with her, or did you offer her an apology and swore that she's your only love, and you simply can't give up on her?"His expression grew awkward. He cleared his throat and spluttered, "D-Do I have to say that?" He couldn't bring himself to say that out loud with a crowd watching them. "What else did you expect? Are you assuming she's going to go back to you after giving her a gift? Is she your pet?"Laura stared at Timothy, utterly exasperated at how dense he was. She knew how daunting it was for him to make a heartfelt confession to Mia. She sighed. "I'm a bit tired. I need to rest.""Go ahead." Timothy watched Laura enter the elevator as he remained rooted on the same spot. Her

"There's a murder! Help!"Amidst her grogginess, Mia heard a clamor of noises around her. She struggled to open her eyes, but her vision swam. She couldn't see anything clearly. Pain hummed in her head as she was overwhelmed by dizziness. She sat up and leaned against the railing behind her. Her hand paused midair. What was she doing outside?She vividly remembered she was in Laura's bedroom when she was attacked. She fainted after the attacker hit her head. Why was she outside after she regained consciousness?Locating the noises around her, she chanced a glance at the weathered figure lying in the puddle of blood at the end of the staircase. The color drained from her face as she shrieked, "Grandma Laura!"What happened? How did Laura fall from the stairs?Mia clenched her jaw as she hauled herself up, but her effort was in vain. She crawled her way toward the staircase. She glanced over at Laura, who was drenched in blood, and screamed, "Somebody! Please help!" Soon, a group of pe
