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

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. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Abigail pursed her l*ps, and her fighting spirit was finally evoked. This diamond might be nothing but a
collectible 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

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