She didn’t show any of her disdain on her face. Instead, she plastered a fake smile on her face as she asked, “Is that a branded necklace? It looks so expensive and classy!”

Penelope’s eyes glinted maliciously despite her gentle smile.

“Oh, this old thing? It’s just a regular necklace. It wasn’t expensive at all,” she said in a casual tone. “It’s a design by X called Azure.”

She instinctively began to stroke the pendant hanging from the delicate chain. “This is a pretty rare blue diamond, too. I’ve always loved her work. You know what a big fan of hers I am.”

However, Azure wasn’t a recent design. In fact, it was quite an old design⁠—a classic from X’s earlier years.
