Chatper 419

Chapter 419 A Knockoff The moment the box was opened, the item inside drew everybody’s attention.

A pink rose blossomed in Kiev’s hand, unleashing an eye-catching pink sparkle.

The object everyone saw was not a real rose but a diamond.

The diamond’s natural pink glow was further enhanced by its exceptional cut, making it even more vibrant and dazzling.

That was the reason why everybody mistook it for a pink rose at first glance.

The women in the private lounge were mesmerized by the diamond.

It was a beautiful rock, and diamonds were women’s best friend.

“Rose, what’s the pink rose?” Agatha asked her daughter excitedly.

Rose replied with a thrill, “That’s the name of the diamond necklace. A female celebrity lost the bid to get the Pink Rose at an auction few days ago, and the incident went viral online.

“Sources said that the Pink Rose was sold to a mysterious young and rich man for 10 million dollars. I can’t believe the man was you, Kiev.”

Everybody looked at Kiev in surprise. Kiev spent 10 million dollars to buy the Pink Rose for Darcy.

Darcy glanced at Kiev in shock. It never occurred to her that he would splurge on her.

“Darcy, I wanted to give you the Pink Rose the minute ! learned ! would be seeing you in Lilyrose. The necklace shouldn’t be wasted on the female celebrity. I believe only you are worthy to wear it.

“No, I should say that only the Pink Rose is good enough for you. Do you like it?”

“It’s too expensive. I can’t possibly accept it.”

Darcy shook her head without hesitation.

Kiev was not surprised by her refusal. He said, “The value of the Pink Rose is no different from the gifts I gave your parents. It’s just a little something for my old friend.”

“It’s too expensive for me. Thank you, Kiev, but we don’t need gifts to prove that we’re friends. It’s the thought that counts.”

Darcy declined once more and sat down.

Kiev’s disappointment was reflected in his eyes.

Still, no one expected what was to come.

Kiev put his arm up and dropped the necklace into the trash can.

Clang.

The group’s hearts sank.

Kiev had no qualms about throwing a 10-million-dollar diamond necklace away.

“Why did you dump the necklace, Kiev?”

Darcy arcy cocked her head back and looked at him in disbelief.

Kiev smiled without a care. “Since you don’t want it, the necklace has lost its value. I believe diamonds are worthless. Its value hinges on the wearer.”

“You spent 10 million dollars on it.”

Darcy, kind as she was, felt bad. She got up to retrieve the necklace from the trash can.

Nevertheless, someone else was one step ahead of her at scooping the Pink Rose from the trash can.

Holding the diamond necklace in his hand, Kaze turned to Kiev.

“You’re right, Kiev. This diamond is worthless. I won’t want Darcy to wear it because it’s a knockoff.”

He closed his palm.

The 10-carat Pink Rose, a diamond famed for its toughness, was crushed and reduced to powder.
