Outcast Queen: Her Return from Hell novel Chapter 200

By this time, Sebastian and Phoebe had already moved to the front to intercept Charles Vane.

"Mr. Vane. It's a pleasure to see you again," Sebastian offered a polished smile and a slight bow.

"Oh, Sebastian! My friend, it's been far too long." Charles gave him a warm, enthusiastic hug.

This interaction sent a jolt of shock through the onlookers. It seemed the championship was already locked in for the Prescott family. To receive such high praise from Charles meant Sebastian's skills were undeniable.

"Mr. Vane, please allow me to introduce someone," Sebastian said, stepping aside to reveal Phoebe. "This is my sister, Phoebe. She's currently acting as my studio's special liaison to manage our partnership with Prescott Group."

"A pleasure to meet you, Ms. Prescott." Charles extended his hand politely. "Sebastian speaks of his elegant sister often. Seeing you in person, I can confirm his praises are well-deserved."

"You're too kind, Mr. Vane," Phoebe beamed, her smile radiant as she shook his hand with practiced grace. "My brother also talks about you constantly. He always mentions what an impeccable gentleman you are."

"Haha, Sebastian, your sister certainly knows how to flatter a man," Charles laughed heartily. "The expo is about to begin. I'm very much looking forward to your presentation."

He paused, adding with a meaningful look, "As long as your pieces earn the crowd's approval, I am fully prepared to officially sign a major partnership between you and MK Global."

Sebastian and Phoebe exchanged a quick, covert glance. Neither could completely hide the wild ecstasy burning in their eyes. Victory was finally theirs.

Charles excused himself and walked toward the main stage at the front of the hall. The spotlights and the attention of every single guest followed him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is an absolute honor to host you all at the industry's most prestigious gala. Today, you will witness the absolute pinnacle of craftsmanship and visionary design. I hope that over the next few hours, each of you discovers a piece that speaks directly to your soul."

Charles's voice echoed with powerful resonance before he made the final declaration. "I now officially declare The International Jewelry Expo open!"

He took a golden mallet from a waiter and struck the ceremonial brass gong. The sharp, triumphant ring echoed through the massive hall, officially lifting the curtain on the luxurious event.

On his command, the event staff moved in perfect synchronization, swiftly pulling the black velvet cloths off every display case in the room.

In an instant, the hall exploded with brilliant light. The glare of perfectly cut diamonds and the breathtaking artistry of the designs overwhelmed the crowd, drawing gasps of pure awe from every corner.

Unsurprisingly, Sebastian's display immediately became the epicenter of the room.

The moment the black cloth fell, his jewelry demanded absolute attention with a bold, overpowering aesthetic.

"My god... this is an absolute masterpiece!"
