Lily sneered with a sarcastic edge, "Sure, it's not my money, so why should I care? Lucky you didn't sell it to me, or I'd be the one left holding the bag!"Daisy was fuming, her face flushed with anger. "You! How dare you!"Claire, spotting a glimmer of hope, quickly presented the ganoderma to Lily. "Miss, didn't you want to buy the ganoderma earlier? Alright, we'll sell it to you. Just add another two million."Lily scoffed, curling her lips. "Do you take me for a fool? A piece of junk, and you want me to add two million? Hmph, even if it were two million cheaper, I wouldn't take it!"Though she had money, she wasn't foolish. A withered hundred-year-old Crimson Ganoderma had no medicinal value whatsoever.Claire glanced at her niece, then took a step back. "If you think it's too expensive, how about we stick to the original price of one million?"At this point, she just hoped to sell it off quickly, or else the loss would be too great!Lily flatl

Claire erupted in a full-blown tantrum, her voice rising to a fever pitch, "I don't care! The Crimson Ganoderma is mine, and you must return it to me today!" She was ready to throw a fit, complete with tears and drama.Seeing her aunt backtrack and act shamelessly, Daisy's eyes flashed with anger as she hissed, "You, Gabriel! I'm warning you, hand over the Crimson Ganoderma right now, or else you'll regret it!" Such a priceless treasure was enough to drive anyone mad.Gabriel's expression was as calm as a still lake, his words cutting through the chaos like ice, "You sold it of your own accord, and you got your money. Now that I've uncovered the treasure, it's like winning a gamble. You can't just change your mind like that, can you?"Claire, seething with rage, shouted, "Gabriel, enough with the nonsense! If you hadn't been so despicable, tricking me out of my Crimson Ganoderma for four million, I would never have sold it to you!"Daisy chimed in with righteous

Sophia, beaming with pride, declared, "Tyler said this is a wedding ring, custom-made, the only one in all of Calonia, and it costs 3.8 million yuan.""Really? That expensive! Mr. Nelson sure knows how to splash the cash! No wonder he's the mayor's son! Evelyn is so lucky to have found such a perfect boyfriend," Daisy said, her eyes twinkling with mischief as she picked up the ring and slipped it onto her finger. "Auntie, how do I look with it?"Sophia quipped, "Daisy, you're naturally beautiful; it looks even prettier on you.""But it's a wedding ring, you can't wear it." Daisy paused, then with a mischievous smirk, said, "It's not like my cousin is marrying Mr. Nelson today, so what's the harm in me trying it on?""Hehe, thanks, Auntie!" Daisy said as she boldly flaunted the emerald ring on her finger, choosing to wear it on her left middle finger instead of the ring finger.Daisy knew she wasn't Mr. Nelson's girlfriend and shouldn't wear it, yet she acted

"Today was supposed to be a joyous birthday celebration, but it turned into a nightmare!" Ms. Mitchell's voice echoed through the hall as she scanned the room with steely eyes. "This is a precious wedding ring, stolen from me. It's a custom-made piece, the only one in the city, and to me, it's priceless!"As soon as her words echoed through the hall, the room erupted into chaos."What? Someone actually had the nerve to steal Ms. Mitchell's wedding ring? Who's that bold?""Investigate! We must get to the bottom of this!""Yes, yes, such a thief must not be let off!""Damn! If I find out who swiped Ms. Mitchell's ring, they're gonna regret it!"The banquet hall buzzed with a mix of outrage and eagerness to please Ms. Mitchell.Ms. Mitchell spoke again, her voice cutting through the din: "Everyone, calm down. I've already found the thief.""Who? Who did it?!" Eyes darted around the crowd, faces twisted in anger.With a cold smile, Ms. Mitche

"By the way, why didn't my brother come today?" Ms. Mitchell casually inquired.Samuel, ever the gentleman, explained, "Mr. Mitchell is currently in seclusion, unable to step away. He sent us to offer his congratulations and to extend his regards to you.""I see," Ms. Mitchell nodded, gesturing with her hand. "Please, take your seats. If you need anything, just let me know.""Thank you, Ms. Mitchell," Samuel nodded slightly, as he and Marvin sat down with an air of grace.Ms. Mitchell's warm reception drew curious glances from the surrounding guests."Who are these two? They must be someone important to have Ms. Mitchell personally greet them.""I don't know. They seem unfamiliar, probably not from Calonia.""So, they must be big shots from the Capital?"The crowd whispered among themselves, their curiosity piqued.As time passed, more and more guests arrived.The atmosphere in the banquet hall grew increasingly lively.At that
