Chapter 719
“Which jewelry division p>
Mira’s eyes lit up, though she wasn’t entirely surprised. At this point, it was perfectly normal for Owen to own half the city’s premium assets.
“Serendipity Jewels is mine, but as of today, it will be rebranded as Everlasting Bond Jewels p>
“Oh? Let me guess, you rebranded it just for me p>
Even if he hadn’t, she was fully prepared to claim the compliment.
But this time, Owen didn’t dodge.
“To be precise, it was rebranded for my future wife p>
Mira shot him a playful glare, entirely unfazed by his smooth talk.
They stopped by the flagship store and picked up two breathtaking sets of jewelry Owen had pre-arranged.
After dinner back at home, Mira sat at her vanity, trying on the pieces.
She rarely wore accessories on campus, preferring a fresh, natural look.
Her clothes were always expensive but distinctly understated and low-key. Tomorrow, however, required full glam and an impeccable presentation.
If she didn’t dress the part, she’d look entirely out of place.
Satisfied with the look, she carefully placed the sparkling diamonds back into their velvet boxes.
Just then, her phone buzzed.
Expecting a text from Owen, she glanced at the screen while closing a box, only to see Sebastian’s name.
Was he calling to guilt-trip her into attending the engagement?
Mira knew Sebastian didn’t genuinely care about her well-being. Any affection he showed was deeply tied to family politics.
In his eyes, his niece’s happiness would never outweigh the Quinn family’s overarching interests.
In these wealthy circles, marriages were mergers. Character didn’t matter. As long
as the alliance was profitable and the families needed to join forces, the couple would never divorce.
As for romance? If they got along, great. If not, they took lovers on the side, and no one batted an eye.
They could play the field endlessly, as long as they smiled for the cameras and acted like a family at home.
But if one party fell in love while the other remained ruthless, it was a recipe for disaster.
And this engagement was terrible. Lawrence wasn’t just a bad match; he was a vicious bastard who would stoop to anything.
Mira wondered if Seraphina even realized what kind of snake she was marrying.
“Sebastian. What is it p>
“Mira, I heard you managed to secure a House of Laurent gown p>
“I did p>
“Tomorrow is Seraphina’s big day. Could you lend it to her p>
The powerful head of the Quinn Group was actually asking to borrow a dress.
Mira could bet a million dollars Seraphina was throwing a tantrum at home right this second.
“And what exactly am I supposed to wear p>
“You two could just swap. Seraphina is the star of the night, after all p>
“Unfortunately, I can’t. My boyfriend ordered this dress for me, and it’s a matching
set with his suit.
I have to decline p>
“Boyfriend?! Who is he p>
“Owen Lance. You’ve met him p>
“What?! You’re with Owen!
Seraphina is marrying into the Lance family, how can you p>
Everyone in Aethelgard knew
was a
of indeer genius, a brilliant titan
and the ultimate dream
bachelor for countless socialites
He had simply stepped out of the public eye in recent years.
Lawrence was decent, but he couldn’t hold a candle to his half-brother’s intellect or pedigree.
“You’re overthinking things, Sebastian.
My relationship with Owen is built on
mutual respect and genuine
affection has absolutely nothing to do with corporate alliances.
You guys carry on with your merger. Leave us out of it.” “Mira, is Solflare Group owned by Owen p>
