No Evil Lady in the World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 180

The Valterminster family’s jewel—it was something Joslyn herself had seen only once, when she was very young.

That diamond….

A magnificent diamond passed down through generations of the Valterminster family heads, which shimmered with a faint pink hue when touched by sunlight, and a delicate golden glimmer when turned another way.

Even His Majesty the King did not possess such a thing. Joslyn recalled her childhood memory. She had been young then, and so had the previous Duke. It was Sediloi’s grandfather—the previous Duke’s father—who had shown her that diamond.

But to have that diamond newly crafted—what on earth could this mean? It was a gem so perfect in itself that it needed no further work.

Joslyn’s gaze moved slowly, like a stiff doorknob. Upon velvet boasting a luster both enchanting and alluring lay a beautiful tiara. Countless diamonds, like stars, were embedded along its rim….

It was small—not deliberately made small for ornamentation, but clearly sized to fit its wearer, who must have been petite.

Joslyn’s face turned ashen. The moment sunlight streaming into the shop coaxed the dormant golden and pink hues within the diamond to bloom like a flower, she screamed and collapsed onto the floor.

“Madam! Are you alright?”

Startled staff rushed to help her up, but Joslyn shook them off as if burned, lashing out like someone scalded.

“Don’t touch it! What is this… what is all this! This diamond! This precious diamond belongs to the ducal family! The one and only unique jewel! How dare you!”
