The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret

At that moment, Mandy, unable to assist Frey directly, whispered urgently, "Ms. Frey, let's step away for now."

Frey rose slowly, her gaze fixed on the emerald necklace adorning Daphne'snoveldrama

neck.

With a loud voice, she declared, "Yes, I've been in prison, but my designs have won recognition on their merit. Unlike some people who flaunt fakes and pretend to be something they're not!"

Daphne's face darkened. "Who do you think is wearing fake jewelry?" she snapped.

Both women were acutely aware that at a jewelry event, the revelation of fake jewelry could severely damage a company's reputation. D

daphne's fury was evident; despite Frey being Nathaniel's wife, Daphne was too enraged to care.

Coldly, Daphne demanded, "Ms. Frey, what are you implying?"

"After three years in prison, you'd think you'd have learned some decorum. Instead, you've resorted to baseless accusations."

"Ms. Daphne, show some respect!" Sawyer interjected, stepping in front of Frey with a cold glare.

Daphne, already on edge, didn't back down. "What? Mr. Sawyer, are you defending a married woman now?"

Daphne was determined to tarnish both Frey and Sawyer's reputations today.

If she succeeded, she vowed to make Frey's name a disgrace.

Daphne's aim was to confuse and undermine Frey, making it easier for her to capitalize on the situation.

Despite the chaos, Frey's demeanor remained composed and unshaken. She addressed Daphne with a cold smile, "Ms. Daphne, there's no need to drag other issues into this. Let's stick to discussing the emerald."

Daphne raised an eyebrow, "Do you know anything about emerald?"

Frey responded with a smile, "I understand a bit."

In reality, her knowledge was extensive.

Her father had supported her in starting a jewelry company, and during her high school years, she had traveled with experienced craftsmen to Buranda to source emeralds. en

She had also participated in emerald gambling in the largest emerald city and

acquired many valuable pieces.

impressed her father, who then entrusted her with leading the new jewelry venture under the Gomez Group's banner.

Daphne looked at Frey with disdain. Despite her extensive time abroad and knowledge of Frey's high-profile past, Daphne still underestimated her.

She couldn't fathom how someone so seemingly insignificant could have once been manipulated by Abigail
