Chapter 676 May Deep Affection Be Worth Remembering

It’s quite impressive if you can catch up half as quickly as I did, rushing to the party after sitting on a plane for hours!

Cecilia Vaughn silently grumbled, but didn’t plan to retaliate with this.

“Madam Daisy, didn’t anyone ever teach you that being an invited guest at a banquet simply requires wearing a clean and elegant gown and having a fresh, tasteful makeup to be qualified for entry?”

“I wonder which rule I’ve violated?”

Madam Daisy snorted lightly; in her eyes, all yellow-skinned Asians were more or less the same. Although Cecilia Vaughn and Adrian Law had features that could be accepted by both Veridia and the West, she just couldn’t stand Cecilia Vaughn.

“You think you have no problems? Ridiculous! When you can’t even afford a decent piece of jewelry and still covet others’ jewels, that’s your original sin!”

“When have I ever coveted your jewelry?”

Cecilia Vaughn coldly flicked her sleeve. She pulled out her phone and casually googled Madam Daisy’s family background.

“If the information I found is correct, your so-called extravagant family background might just mean running a small jewelry shop, right?”

“Small? Are you referring to high-end jewelry brands like Starlight as a small workshop?!”

Madam Daisy originally thought Cecilia Vaughn would be more humble after researching her background and current company, yet Cecilia showed even more contempt instead of doing that.

She completely didn’t understand what made Cecilia Vaughn so arrogant.

A woman with ordinary attire, wearing a simple and unbranded evening gown, without a single jewel, dared to look down on her?!

…

Cecilia Vaughn pointed towards a prominent winery sign at the party.

“See that?”

Madam Daisy was stunned; she had no idea what Cecilia Vaughn was trying to say.

“Château Valois? It’s the host of this party, right? Are you trying to say you have some intricate relationship with the founder of this event? Laughable, his wife is a Vessarian noble lady, and they’ve never intermarried with anyone from Veridia within three generations. So it’s impossible for you to have any blood connection with them!”

Cecilia Vaughn glanced at her with pity.

“So, you came to this party without knowing why Château Valois is hosting it?”

Hosting parties in high society is quite common; the most it could be is a more grand affair today. Madam Daisy was indifferent.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

A Vessarian woman with long blonde hair frowned.

“Are you implying you have connections with the big Veridian group partnered with Château Valois?”

“Pfft…”

Cecilia Vaughn had long guessed the other party had no idea about her and Adrian Law’s identity. But even if they knew, this woman would likely keep arguing. Cecilia was already unconcerned about clearing the suspicion of theft; she purely disliked this woman named Daisy, who carried herself high solely based on her white skin.

“That’s right, my husband and I went to Caelus to celebrate this cooperation. If you check, the Law Group’s asset ranking globally might make you take back the comment that all Veridian people are poor.”

In fact, Veridia’s economy has surged remarkably these years, now the second-largest after Vesperia.

In recent years, the Law Group has thrived commercially, becoming a globally influential company. Out of all the worldwide groups, how many can dare to say the Law Group is poor?

Even the world’s richest wouldn’t dare make such a judgment.

For markets are unpredictable; the gap between the top five and number one is not that obvious. Whoever masters core technology and a widespread global market can quickly grow capital and climb to higher rankings.

…

Madam Daisy is typically face-blind regarding Veridian people’s appearances, but Adrian Law and Cecilia Vaughn are definitely not ordinary. Even if you ignore their features, their stature and aura are beyond the reach of others.

Thus, Daisy quickly realized how laughable her constant accusations of poverty towards the other party were.

But the words were already spoken, and Madam Daisy was unwilling to embarrass herself, so she grunted a few times, her tone finally becoming somewhat forced.

“That only proves your husband is wealthy! What does it have to do with you? Looking at you, your outfit doesn’t have a decent piece of jewelry to elevate your status. No wonder you wanted to steal my ring!”

Cecilia Vaughn smilingly watched the other’s flushed face.

“Mm, maybe my husband is indeed reluctant to spend on me. But fortunately, I’ve also inherited my grandfather’s company, which possibly earns twice as much as yours.”

This statement was made based on the year-end profitability rate of Madam Daisy’s company published this month, easily searchable in the news.

Although Starlight is high-end jewelry, it has always been niche, with high-quality designers leaving. In recent years, failing to recruit new talents, leading to its steady decline in market share.

Even a medium-sized, nationally obscure company like Radiant Group can overpower it.

…

“You—”

Madam Daisy was furious, almost to the point of vomiting blood.

And Cecilia Vaughn couldn’t resist throwing in another jab.

“Oh, sorry. Also, it’s not that my husband is unwilling to buy me jewelry, but that we hurried here after landing today. You’re welcome to check my wedding ring, a blood diamond that appeared on the world’s top jewelry rankings, valued several dozen times more than your emerald ring. Your ignorance is understandable.”

Cecilia Vaughn’s tone was quite acerbic, yet her face always wore a smile. Too bad, she’s just such a ruthless and petty person.

She’s already been cordial two or three times, but the other party repeatedly insulted her, even her country. Can you blame her for being so sharp?

Purely asking for it.

The thrill of retorting is undeniable!

…

Veridian’s live-stream viewers erupted again.

The bullet-screen comments were partially unlocked, filled with “hahaha” and words of satisfaction.

Some questioned Cecilia Vaughn’s arrogance, claiming it was just her ancestors’ legacy, but some fans retorted.

—What’s wrong with Cecilia Vaughn’s words? That Vessarian woman asked for it. Isn’t she just benefiting from her ancestors? At least Cecilia was polite and didn’t escalate to the other’s nation! If I were her, I’d be even harsher!

…

By now, the live stream had clearly become the source of joy for the netizens.

Fiona Vaughn never expected Cecilia Vaughn to gain fans despite being so rude, causing her to slam the table in anger!

—No, no, she cannot let Cecilia Vaughn turn the situation around! She must come up with a plan!
