Chapter 52 Lucy was smart and observant. She noticed the changes in their expressions and deliberately asked,” Why didn’t you both come together?” Naomi heard Lucy’s question and felt confused. She smugly wrinkled her nose. “Lucy, I came here as the daughter of the Green family, not Mrs. Hough.” “Hmph! You complained about me, and you even refused to bring me here! I also despise my identity as your wife! Lucy deliberately used a scornful gaze as she swept past him. As she expected, Daddy’s face grew darker. “Ah… Why don’t we get a seat first?” Lucy saw the couple was still angry with each other. She quickly changed the topic and distracted them. The crowd gradually entered the hall from behind. “Clarissa! I told you to come here to socialize with influential people. I didn’t ask you to be an embarrassment!” Scott had heard of the earlier incident and reprimanded Clarissa in displeasure.
“Dear, it was all Naomi’s fault! Why did you allow her to join the event? She embarrassed Clarissa!” Lilian complained unhappily. “That’s just a way to keep the Hough family happy. How would I know that you can’t even win against her?! Scott rolled his eyes and mocked her. “I didn’t expect you to be so useless even after all the effort | poured into you!” Scott glanced at Clarissa in disgust and went to sit at the other side. Clarissa felt wronged and angry. Her eyes were full of tears. “Mom…” “Your dad is just angry. He has always loved you the most!” Lilian suppressed her anger and comforted her daughter.

necklace from her neck and handed it to Clarissa. Clarissa stared at her mother with a troubled look. She asked, “Isn’t this the Ocean Star? This belongs to Naomi’s mother. Mom, what do you plan to do with it?” Lilian sneered. “Her mom is dead! This is now my Ocean Star!” A sliver of viciousness flashed in her eyes. “I’ll make you shine at the auction later! Let’s give the little b* tch a good lesson and shame her!” As she said that, the host got up on stage and officially announced the start of the product launch conference. Clarissa and her mother quickly found a seat and sat down. A commercial featuring Naomi was shown on the big screen in the hall. It surprised the guests. The guests gasped. The media correspondents were quick to write their posts! The commercial was a great success. Lucy smiled the whole time at the commercial’s terrific response Jack looked at the girl shining on the screen. Her radiance sent ripples across his quiet eyes. He never expected to see such an outstanding side to her. She had good medical knowledge and was good at modeling. Did she have more sides to her that he had yet to learn? The press conference soon ended. It was time for the auction segment. Clarissa suddenly stood up. She raised her hand and showed the necklace in her hand to the crowd. She deliberately raised her voice and announced, “I would like to donate this necklace to the auction. I sincerely hope this would be of help to the poor children in need.” A necklace? Naomi instinctively turned around. She froze when she saw the necklace in Clarissa’s hand! It was her mom’s Ocean Star! How could they?! The guests recognized the world-famous treasure as well and gasped in shock. “Oh, dear! Isn’t that the Ocean Star? Miss Green is such a charitable person.” “She’s willing to donate the Ocean Star for auction? Wow! Seems like the Green family is actually very rich!
All the spotlight was on Clarissa for her generous donation. The staff walked toward her. Clarissa was proud to hear the praises leveled at her. She was particularly exhilarated to see Naomi’s sad but helpless expression. “Haha, Naomi, just look at how your dead mother’s necklace became my stepping stone into the world of high fashion! You must be heartbroken, right?’ “Wait a moment!” Naomi suddenly got up and glared at Clarissa. Her eyes were filled with hatred. Her eyes were red and her voice was cold. “That’s my mom’s necklace! Who gave you the right to auction it?!”
