NovelEnglishNobody could peel their eyes away. A voice from the crowd murmured,
“This crown’s Lineage must be illustrious. Was it worn by any of the royalty?”
Florence's eyes widened in astonishment. “This is Queen Victoria's crown!”
Kassidy, unable to digest this reality, protested, “A brooch couldn't have been lost to the world. How did Loraine
end up with the crown? It has to be counterfeit!”
Loraine cast a dismissive look her way and scoffed, “With your vast understanding of fine things, shouldn't you
be able to identify the style of a royal crown? This crown is not an official regalia, but a fashionable accessory for
the queen to wear at banquets.”

Murmurs resonated among the spectators.
“How could Kassidy lack such basic knowledge?”
“It seems her family isn’t as powerful as the Cruz family.”
“Kassidy, although wealthy, falls short in comparison to Loraine.”
“Don’t say that. Her family isn’t that influential. How could they possibly match the Torres family? She’s merely a
distant relative of
Mrs. Cruz. Her family’s glory days are long gone. Now, they can only rely on the goodwill of the Cruz family to
maintain their status.”
These biting remarks sent a ripple of sneers in Kassidy’s direction, causing her to seethe in silent fury.

Kassidy’s rage was palpable, her nerves on edge. She yearned to counterattack, yet a frosty gaze from Florence
held her back.
Florence, after issuing a silent reprimand to Kassidy, pivoted and extended a radiant smile towards Grady, “Dear,
why not take Loraine on a tour of our gathering? We are the hosts, after all, and it's unseemly to neglect our
duties.”
The recent spectacle had revealed something extraordinary to Florence.
Loraine was in possession of a crown once worn by the Queen herself.

This new discovery amplified Florence's enthusiasm for bringing Grady and Loraine closer.
Grady, naturally, was keen on bonding with Loraine. He gazed at Loraine with anticipation, fearful she might
reject his offer, and swiftly proposed, “Loraine, wouldn't you like to witness Endy Hewitt's masterpiece? Let's
head there right now.”
Loraine offered no resistance. She was indeed interested in observing
Endy’s work.
Watching the pair depart in unison, Kassidy was filled with envy and resentment, a profound disdain for Loraine
boiling within her.
However, Loraine remained oblivious to Kassidy’s feelings, merely trailing Grady to the exhibition hall.
As they traversed the exhibits, Grady, with an infectious enthusiasm lighting up his face, enthusiastically
detailed the origin and backstory of each displayed item to Loraine.
