Chapter b161 /bBe bclose /bbto /bbMarcelo /b

    Vivian froze in shock, her eyes widening.

    Paul caught the excitement and desire in her shocked expression.

    His smile turned triumphant. “It seems you do!Everyone knows Sebastian loved you deatly since childhood and before his death, but the one you’ve always been drawn to is Marcelo.”

    Vivian’s expression changed slightly, her fists clenched by her side as she fought to maintain herposure.

    She had known for a long time that Sebastian was in love with her And she had selfishly gotten into a rtionship with him before his death so she could be close to Marcelo.

    She had did all she could to make Sebastian believe that she actually loved him while deep down,she was hoping to get noticed by Marcelo.

    When Vivian replied, her voice was very serious. “Mr King, Marcelo is already married. I have no intention of interfering in their rtionship.”

    “What if I tell you that I want you to be my grand–daughter–inw?”

    “You…Why…”

    Vivian was too shocked to speak.

    Initially, she struggled with the idea of breaking up Marcelo’s marriage.

    But now, even Marcelo’s grandfather was supporting her!

    What was there to hesitate about?

    In this instant, she felt like she had struck gold, but she needed to maintain herposure and hide her excitement. “Youngdy, I don’t ask my grand–daughter–inw to side with me, but she must not oppose me.“Paul smiled.

    With those few words, Vivian suddenly understood what had happened. Renee was opposing Paul, a fact which Paul was obviously very upset about. Now, he sought to help her take Renee’s ceb. /bOf course, Vivian would never help Paul in his conflict with Marcelo, but her main priority right now was to disce Renee.

    Six years ago,Sebastian had a fatal car ident. When he was on his deathbed, he asked Marcelo to take care of Vivian for him. The outside world only knew that the daughter of the Lambert family had a good rtionship with the legitimate sons of the Thorpe family.

    It was said that Marcelo had always cherished Vivian since childhood.

    However, only Vivian knew that Marcelo’s care for her stemmed from Sebastian’s love for her. Marcelo being patient and always rendering help towards her was all because of Sebastian’s dying request.

    And this entrusted responsibility was her trump card!

    Vivian refused to believe that Marcelo hadn’t developed feelings for her over the years. She was convinced that Marcelo had buried his feelings because of Sebastian.

    What she needed now was a legitimate status!

    Backstage at the Light show.

    As time grew increasingly tight, the atmosphere became more oppressive.

    Chapter 161 Be close to Marcelo

    bThe /bproduction team reached out to various jewelry brands, but efter the styles didn’t align with the show or those brands had already mademitments to other projects.

    None were suitable.

    Jonah was in a state of panic, struggling to keep his emotions in check. He was determined not to settle for unsuitable jewelry, but the chance of getting the right jewelries was getting slimmer by the second.

    “Jonah, if yourpany doesn’t mind, I have jewelry here that matches the style, “Renee suddenly announced.

    She felt partly responsible for this issue.

    If she wasn’t Light’s head stylist, Vivian probably wouldn’t have breached the contract.

    “You… You have suitable jewelry?” Jonah raised an eyebrow, his skepticism evident in his tone. “Renee, just a reminder that the pieces for the show must not only fit our style guidelines, but also be free of any copyright issues.”

    “It’s a private collection, no copyright issues.”

    Where could she have suddenly found a private collection?

    Jonah was brimming with questions, but this was not the time to dwell on olliit. /li/ol

    “Okay! How many people do we need to send to pick up the jewelry? How many bulletproof vehicles do we need to summon? Where is it?”

    “No need for all that.“Renee was focused on her phone, typing away. “Cars are too slow,b” /bshe muttered, “I’ll have it sent over by helicopter.”

    Jonah was rendered speechless.

    He

    was also confused.

    He was slightly unsettled by Renee’s ideas, but she appeared to be mentally stable and not delusional.

    Two hourster, a chopper descended onto the empty area adjacent to the exhibition hall, and a group of sturdy men transported five or six wooden boxes measuring about half a meter in height.

    To save time, Renee instructed the models to get in position while opening the wooden boxes.

    One by one, Renee pulled out exquisite pieces of collector’s jewelry from the unassuming wooden boxes. Each piece was carefullyid out on a bed of ck velvet inside the box.

    Transporting jewelry in wooden boxes like ordinary goods?

    Everyone present had only one word in mind: Unbelievable!

    “This sapphire pendant looks strikingly simr to the Ocean Age that was auctioned off by a mysterious tycoon three years ago…. “Jonah murmured as his gaze fell on a sparkling sapphire ne.

    Renee nced at it casually and replied, “That is the Ocean Age.”

    She took out thest piece of jewelry from the box.

    A

    But Jonah was still stuck on the origin of the jewelry. Eyes a little wide, he pointed at another set ofvish diamond earrings and headband that Renee had just taken out and asked in a shaky voice

    “Is this the Snow Rose auctioned by Christie’sst year? This item is genuine?”

    “Of course.” Renee smiled.

    Over the past few years, Renee had instructed her fund manager to purchase these jewels for their collection value and potential appreciation.

    They could also be given out as gifts if needed, but at the moment, they served another purpose.
