Never Blinded by Love (Linda and Wilson)

"We don't need the money, so why bother with the hassle?" Linda asked.

"But Linda, when money is right in front of you, it feels impolite not to take it," Chloe replied.

Chloe knew well enough that she didn't need the money, but it wasn't just about necessity. It was about the principle of seizing an opportunity when it was presented.

"I show you the gemstones we've received recently," Chloe said.

With the ongoing issues in Southern Gysland, many gemstones had become scarce. The ones Chloe had access to were top-tier. Thanks to William's robust support in the many gemstone suppliers prioritized Radiant Jewelry. So, Chloe had no trouble sourcing whatever gem she wanted.

"Do you have any cornflower blue sapphires?" Linda asked.

She wanted to make a blue sapphire necklace for Lexi

While Lexi had plenty of other jewelry, including emeralds from Luke and a lot of black diamonds, she didn't have a pure cornflower blue sapphire.

Chloe led Linda into a secure room filled with gemstones.

"We definitely have comflower blue sapphires, but it depends on the carat size you want. If you're looking for something very large, I might not have it here since such pieces are rare even in the market.

"For a medium size, I should have it. If not, I can check with my mentor, who is likely to have it," Chloe explained.

Luke, although not particularly invested in hobbies, had a passion for collecting gemstones.

Whenever Chloe had trouble finding a specific gem, she would check with Luke first, and he usually had what she needed.

Linda gazed at the array of gemstones on display.

Even in their raw state, they were breathtaking. She could only imagine how much more stunning they would be once crafted into jewelry

"Actually, you might want to consider this 25-carat princess cut diamond," Chloe suggested, pointing to the highest-grade raw stone nearby.

The diamond's briliance was truly exceptional.

As Linda examined the gem, a sense of déjà

javu washed over her. It reminded her of the diamond ring she had bought for her wedding-another high-grade princess cut diamond, though smaller. Joanne had called ite

textravagant at the time.

What no one knew was that Linda had paid for that ring herself.

*1 had a similar one for my wedding, but I don't know who ended up with it," Lindasaid.

chloe grew quiet, sensing Linda's curiosity about the fate of that ring-whether it had gone to Joanne or ida

Back then, the jewelry market wasn't as unstable, and finding diamonds was easier. Prices were also more reasonable.

"Linda, I feel the you often think about the past and the people you once loved," Chloe remarked.

Her intuition was sharp Erely due to their sibling bond, allowing her to read Linda's emotions easily.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"Sometimes, I wonder if the world is really this unfair," Linda sald,

chloe's tone turned serious as she said, "If the world were fair, would your relationship with William have ended the way it did? Life isn't fair, and dwelling on that won't change anything. Focus on thing your life now." Chloe always had a way of snapping Linda out of her thoughts, grounding her in the present. It could be blunt, but she always had her reasons.
