Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Ocean’s Heart

“What’s with all the rules? My butt’s getting sore.” Luna

couldn’t sit still anymore. If there was anything she hated in her life, it would be lectures and classes,

“And now, the answer to the burning question you’re having: the prize for the winner

Luna was about to take a restroom break, but that captured her attention.

“The winner will gain

a spot on Parovine Fashion Week’s top designer team, and the expenses for the trip will be sponsored

by East Joy Talent and its partner, Graham International.”

The host kept everyone in suspense for a minute before she announced the prize. It plunged everyone

into another discussion, and there was anticipation in their eyes.

Attending Parovine Fashion Week would give these designers a great boost in the industry,

especially when they were attending as a member of the top designer team.

Just when they thought

that was all the reward, the host held up her microphone again. “Other than that, the winner will also wi

n Ocean’s Heart.” She went to the cabinet covered by the red cloth and pulled it off, revealing what was

underneath.

Everyone stared at it in curiosity. There was a lacquered tray with a heart–

shaped diamond the size of a pigeon egg sitting in it. Under the light of the stage, the beautiful diamond

glimmered, spreading its light in every direction.

For a moment, that diamond was not just a precious stone; it was something filled with spirit andProperty of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

radiance.

The crowd went wild.

Luna stopped all complaining, her eyes as wide as saucepans. She stared at the cabinet in disbelief as

she held Abigail’s arm tightly. “I–I’m not dreaming, am I? Is that really Ocean’s Dream?”

Owww, too tight. Abigail had to

smack her friend lightly so that she would let her go. “Yes.” Even though there was some distance betw

een her and the stage, judging from her experience, the diamond was a valuable one because of the lig

ht that was shimmering off it alone.

The diamond’s origin story had something to do with the castle. Legend had it that this diamond was th

e accessory of the castle’s first master, and it was turned into a family heirloom that was passed down f

rom one generation to the next. However, due to the family’s bankruptcy, the

However, due to the family’s bankruptcy, the

diamond had to be auctioned off as well.

The diamond was auctioned off at a high price, and now it was used as this competition’s prize. Abigail

only wanted to join this competition to boost L.Moon’s fame, but now she and Luna had a

new target.

“Do your best to get that diamond, Abigail. You can get a whole villa if you sell that off, let alone a regul

ar house.” Luna stopped gaping out of disbelief and gave her friend a pat on the shoulder.

Abigail pursed her lips, and her fighting spirit was finally evoked. This diamond might be nothing but a c

ollectible for the rich, but it was valuable enough to set her up for life. If she could get that

diamond, she would have enough money for her grandmother’s treatment abroad.

When she talked to her grandmother’s attending physician, she was told that Johnson Hospital had

treated someone with her grandmother’s condition before, but the treatment alone would cost 15

million.

The doctor only brought

it up as a reference, but Abigail never forgot about that. As long as her grandmother could be healed, s

he was willing to leave this place and settle down somewhere she could live with her grandmother in pe

ace, even if life was dull.

The diamond was only on display for a few minutes before the guards took it back to the safe.

Tension was brewing in the air, and the contestants looked motivated. No longer were they friendly.

to one another.

With the rules explained in full, the host told everyone that they could leave now for a break, then

they would gather in the other hall.

Abigail took a deep breath. “This is no ordinary show we’re in; it’s a battlefield.”
