Chapter 167

Chapter 167:
“She truly embodies kindness in its purest form. I could never summon that level of magnanimity within myself.”
“I remain completely baffled by Serena’s behavior patterns. She consistently projects this icy demeanor toward Vivian—whether during team selection processes or at the glamorous gala. She radiates this aloof indifference, yet honestly, her stage presence lacks that special spark.”
“Absolutely correct. I cannot comprehend why the live audience votes soar so dramatically high in her favor. Certainly, she possesses talent, but she hardly reaches the pinnacle of excellence everyone claims.”
“Perhaps she’s simply leveraging powerful connections behind the scenes?”
“Who can say for certain? Isn’t Serena currently under contract with the prestigious Evans Entertainment agency?”
As the spirited chatter continued to build, everyone’s attention shifted toward a new spectacle.
“Wait, is that the identical 6-carat ruby pendant adorning Vivian’s neck—the same magnificent piece Brandon purchased for an astronomical $28 million at the charity gala?”
“It absolutely is! And Brandon has made another unexpected appearance at the show, despite his well-known aversion to attending events of this nature. He keeps making these remarkable exceptions exclusively for Vivian!”
“He lavishes her with such devoted attention. What an absolutely enchanting love story unfolding before our eyes!”
Once again, #VivianRubyPendant rocketed to the summit of trending topics across all social media platforms.
Time seemed to dissolve into moments, and soon the intensive recording session reached its natural conclusion. Millie and Charles began making their way toward the waiting sedan, their footsteps echoing against the pavement.
They had barely crossed the threshold into the cool evening air when someone’s voice rang out clearly. “Serena!”

Millie pivoted gracefully to discover the three Elliott siblings approaching, their warm smiles illuminating their faces.
Jayceon, the most spirited and vivacious of the trio, bounded over with infectious enthusiasm radiating from his every step. “You delivered an absolutely phenomenal performance!”
Adriana followed closely behind, offering an appreciative nod of approval. “I witnessed your presence at the charity gala, but I never imagined your live performance would reach these incredible heights of artistry.” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ.net
Millie, fully aware of the Elliott family’s reputation, had always held deep admiration for their strong family values and principles. Following the charity gala’s conclusion, she hadn’t asked Jayceon to keep the fact that she was the original owner of the tanzanite a secret. After all, she had attended the event as Serena—a persona who wasn’t even supposed to know Millie. Yet, Jayceon had chosen to honor that discretion anyway. He might occasionally present himself as a bit of a chatterbox, but his loyalty had proven absolutely unshakeable.
Millie allowed a genuine smile to bloom across her features and nodded graciously. “Thank you both for extending such generous kindness toward me.”
