The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeance
Chapter 183 The Weight of a Diamond
Naomi could never hope to compare.
“Eliza.”
Finished
Naomi leaned back on the school–provided lounge chair as she spotted Eliza walking in from outside the classroom. “Why don’t you come take a look too?”
Still sour from the humiliation she suffered from Henry earlier that morning, Naomi saw Eliza alone and seized the opportunity to try and reclaim some dignity.
It was the last class of the day, and Eliza had hoped to keep her mood intact. But Naomi’s constant provocation had worn down her patience.
Without a word, Eliza stood up and walked toward her.
Naomi assumed Eliza wouldn’t dare do anything in public.
She was wrong.
Eliza reached out and grabbed Naomi’s wrist–the one with the ring–and yanked it forward.
“Eliza! What are you doing?!”
Naomi’s face paled as Eliza calmly pulled the ring off her finger.
Before anyone could react, Eliza turned and walked to the window.
She raised her hand–and threw the diamond ring out.
It traced a perfect arc through the air… then vanished without a sound.
Everyone stared in stunned silence.
She threw it?
She actually threw it?
“Eliza!”
Naomi shot up from her seat, face twisted in fury. “That ring was a gift from Christian! You’ve got some nerve!”
“That cheap little rock doesn’t deserve to be worn by the Sue family’s Ms. Cassandra. If Christian really loves you, he can buy you something better. But don’t flaunt garbage like that in front of me–I can’t even be bothered to throw it away.”
“You-!”
Naomi turned ghost–white.

Chapter 183 The Weight of a Diamond
Her mother had told her that pink diamond was worth no less than fifty million.
And now Eliza had just tossed it like trash?
Panicked, Naomi shouted at her bodyguards, “Go–go find it, now!”
The guards didn’t dare delay and immediately went searching for the diamond.
Seeing them scramble, Naomi followed in a panic.
Finished
If someone else found it, there was no way they’d give it back. Something that valuable would vanish in an instant.
“Eliza! If that ring is lost, you couldn’t afford to pay it back even if you sold everything you own!”
“I doubt a single ring is enough to bankrupt me.”
Eliza said coolly, “But you–getting so worked up over it? That’s hardly fitting behavior for the Sue family’s Ms. Cassandra.”
At her words, Naomi suddenly noticed the stares around her.
Some students were whispering behind their hands, while others looked at her with thinly veiled
contempt.
Those eyes said it all: someone claiming to be the Sue family’s heiress shouldn’t act like this.
Naomi quickly forced herself to calm down. She glared at Eliza and snapped, “What do you know? That ring was a gift from Christian–of course I care about it!”
“Oh? So you’re upset because it was from Christian… or because it was expensive?”
Eliza’s words hit their mark.
Anyone watching earlier could see it–Naomi’s panic was all about the ring’s price tag.
For people like them, expensive jewelry was usually insured. Even if lost, it wasn’t a big deal–it could always be replaced.
No one would lose control like that in public.
“So what if it’s expensive? It was from Christian. Of course it’s precious to me!”
Just then, a bodyguard returned–along with a female student holding the ring in her hand.
“I think someone from your class dropped this?”
Naomi rushed over the moment she saw the pink diamond. “Yes! That’s mine!”
She snatched the ring back and quickly slid it onto her finger–only to narrow her eyes at the girl.
“Why would you return it so nicely?”

Chapter 183 The Weight of a Diamond
Pink diamonds were every girl’s dream. Who wouldn’t be tempted to keep it?
Yet this girl handed it back.
Seeing Naomi’s suspicious glare, the student frowned.
What kind of person questions someone for doing the right thing?
“I don’t need your thanks,” she said coldly. “I’ve got class. Don’t waste my time.”
With that, she turned and left.
A bodyguard quickly leaned over to whisper, “That’s Ms. Yvonne Zimmerman, from the Astrovia Consortium. Our families have close ties.”
Finished
The moment she heard that, Naomi’s tone changed in an instant. She hurried forward and said, “Oh no, Yvonne, that’s not what I meant. I really appreciate you finding my ring!”
She had hoped a softened attitude would smooth things over.
But Yvonne didn’t even spare her a glance.
She walked right out, ignoring her completely.
