Chapter 136: The Star of Peace

The shock brought by the Ball of Blue Blood raised Percy’s and MonRoe’s status to a greater height . That was why their launch conference for their new product was followed by a lot of people in the upper society . A lot of guests attended it .

As the spokesperson, Yun Xiangxiang met a lot of New York’s elite along with Austin . They were an equal mix of men and women .

Austin prepared a raffle when the new product’s launch conference was reaching its climax .

The prizes were all MonRoe’s accessories . The biggest prize was a blue diamond that weighed 2 . 2 carats . Its value was around two hundred thousand yuan .

That sum of money wasn’t really big for them . However, a diamond that wasn’t cut or embedded and could be whatever they wanted really excited them .

The guests that had invitation letters all could take part in the raffle . Percy stood by Yun Xiangxiang’s side, “Yun, you can also go up and try . ”

The uniform scratchcard was shuffled by the vice president of the jewelry association who was invited . They were spread across the long table . The prize drawer picked it at random . Soon, some people got a pair of black pearl earrings, platinum pendant, crystal necklace…

Yun Xiangxiang held a glass of champagne in her hand . However, she basically didn’t touch her glass of champagne even though there were a lot of people constantly talking to her for so long . She could always distract them with smart conversation skills .

“Yes, Yun . You’re our goddess of luck . Try it quickly,” Austin encouraged her too .

Austin and Percy were the main attraction to start with . A lot of the guests’ gazes were on them . Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t reject them now that she got so many people’s attention . She put her wine glass down and slowly walked to the prize drawing area while lifting the hem of her gown .

“My birthday is on the second of February . I heard that the biggest prize, which is the blue diamond, is also 2 . 2 carats . I’ll pick the twenty second piece then,” Yun Xiangxiang said to the prize drawer smilingly .

The prize drawer immediately counted to the twenty second piece from the start and gave it to Yun Xiangxiang .

Yun Xiangxiang scratched it open by herself . The card read “The Star of Peace . ” She had an inexplicable bad premonition . Just as she was about to take the card away and said that she didn’t get the prize, the lady by her side who was also drawing a prize gasped audibly .

“Oh, heavens! The Star of Peace!”

The house became silent with just that sentence .

Austin, Percy, and the other persons in charge immediately dashed forward . The reporters that were invited to the launch ceremony also surrounded them .

“Is it true that MonRoe is giving “The Star of Peace” Away as a prize?”

“Mr . Austin, why did someone draw “The Star of Peace”?”

“Mr . Austin, are you guys really planning to give The Star of Peace to this Oriental angel?”

“…”

The string of questions cleared Austin from his state of confusion . Yun Xiangxiang had already been escorted by Percy to one side . Ai Li who was always following her blocked the reporters outside .

“Mr . Percy, what is the Star of Peace?”

Actually, Yun Xiangxiang had already hazarded a guess . A jewelry that could be called “The Star of XX” must be the world’s top jewelry . It must also be one of a kind .

Percy’s experience told him that their company was backstabbed . However, he didn’t lie to Yun Xiangxiang, “The Star of Peace is a piece of emerald green diamond that weighs a hundred and eighty-eight carats .

It was MonRoe’s collection’s highlights as well as MonRoe’s signature .

No other green diamond that had such an auspicious number and dazzling color existed in this world .

It was a priceless treasure .

“Your company has traitors,” Yun Xiangxiang was very sure about it . There might probably be more than one .

It would require a ludicrous amount of human and financial resource to be able to alter the prize cards that were already settled .

Someone actually got The Star of Peace in front of so many people’s eyes . The guests today might not be top billionaires, but they weren’t people who were desperate for money . If they could get The Star of Peace, they wouldn’t even give it for money even if MonRoe offered an exorbitant amount .

There was so much media too . This news must have spread by now . It wouldn’t take until tomorrow before everyone knew .

If MonRoe gave The Star of Peace away now, tomorrow MonRoe would be a joke . It would be a huge blow to the company .

If they didn’t give it away, MonRoe’s reputation would plummet .

The competition in business was this cruel . There would be people who can’t stand to see MonRoe being this successful .

Austin was still bombarded by the media . If he gave it away now, the whole MonRoe would be disappointed in him . The top executives might even terminate his position because of this . Perhaps this was a conspiracy where everyone would get what they needed through colluding with outside forces .

If he didn’t give it away, all the customers would be disappointed in him and this brand .

“Ai Li, make a path for me,” Yun Xiangxiang said to Ai Li .

Ai Li might be a woman, but she still opened a path through sheer force . Yun Xiangxiang walked to Austin’s side .

“I’m elated about drawing The Star of Peace,” Yun Xiangxiang took over the mic . She turned her head aside and asked Austin, “Mr . Austin, may I ask whether The Star of Peace belongs to me or not?”

Yun Xiangxiang asked something that everyone wanted to know . Their eyes fell upon Austin .

Austin’s face turned gray . He nodded feebly, “The Star of Peace…belongs to you . ”

Yun Xiangxiang smiled more, “Since it’s mine, then I have the right to do anything to it . The Star of Peace means peace . It is my wish that peace is what it brings forth too . ”

Everyone quieted down . They had an inkling about what this Oriental angel was trying to say, but they couldn’t believe it .

That was The Star of Peace! The jewelry that was one of a kind that nobody could resist!

Countless jewelry thieves lost their lives for it!

She didn’t steal nor rob it . She got it fair and square . However, she…

Yun Xiangxiang gave the prize card to Austin in front of their shocked gazes, “And now I will return it unconditionally to Mr . Austin . ”

Even Austin was stunned and he didn’t know how to react, let alone everyone else .

There was someone in this world who gave The Star of Peace away so calmly!

This matter was unrelated to Yun Xiangxiang in the first place . Austin couldn’t blame her even if she took The Star of Peace away . The responsibility lay fully upon him and the company .

However, this was too great of a cost . Until now, he didn’t know who had this ability to pull this conspiracy off .

“Mr . Austin, us from China have a habit of giving good friends gifts during the New Year,” Yun Xiangxiang still smiled calmly . “Even though your New Year has come and gone, the New Year that I want to celebrate is China’s . So please accept my New Year’s gift . ”

Austin finally recovered from the shock . Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked at this beautiful lady .

She not only had the most gorgeous face; she also had the most precious soul .

“I’m ashamed yet grateful to you, my goddess of luck,” Austin took it with his trembling hands .

The Star of Peace couldn’t be given away to Yun Xiangxiang, but he would try to compensate Yun Xiangxiang’s loss from other aspects .

Yun Xiangxiang completely saved MonRoe with a single move .

He believed that if somebody else got The Star of Peace today, they wouldn’t be as generous as Yun Xiangxiang to give it back with such a good reason too .
