Goodbye, My Love

Chapter 1001

Kassidy’s expression shifted abruptly. In a fit of anger, she shot back, “How dare you doubt our family’s

treasure?”

Loraine shook her head and assumed a serious demeanor as she proceeded to provide an explanation.

“The Blue Moon you speak of is specifically stated in the Queen’s will as an inheritance piece. In other words,

only the royal successor can possess it. It isn’t available in the public domain. To my knowledge, the Blue Moon

has never gone missing.”

Taken aback, Kassidy found herself speechless. The royal family’s heirloom was undoubtedly genuine. Did that

mean hers was a fraud?

She wouldn't stand for it. With a stamp of her foot, she exploded,

“Rubbish! You're envious of my family’s invaluable heirloom and are purposefully trying to devalue it!”

Florence interjected, “I vouch for the veracity of Loraine’s words. The

Cruz family does indeed share ties with Eplistan’s royal bloodline. And yes, the Blue Moon is their ancestral

her angrier. She blurted out

“Loraine, if you're such an expert, what have you prepared?”

Eyes turned toward Loraine in anticipation.

Loraine emitted a soft laugh. She regarded Kassidy’s weak attempts to provoke her as childish bluster, bearing

no real menace.

Before all eyes, she casually unveiled the gift box she had brought along.

As the box lid lifted, the hall echoed with collective gasps.

Inside lay a breathtakingly beautiful crown

Adorned with rubies and diamonds, each jewel as large as a pigeon’s egg, the crown glistened under the Light.

Its dazzling splendor could nearly cause a person to squint.

No matter how intricately designed or attention-grabbing the brooch was, it paled before the majesty of the

crown.
