Chapter 196
"I got you a birthday present. Have a look. I hope you'll like it," Connor said, lifting his hand slightly.
Teddy, who had been following behind, stepped forward, holding a square, black velvet gift box with both hands. He carefully opened it, and a dazzling light flashed, eliciting envious gasps from everyone around.
Inside the box was a pink diamond necklace. The centerpiece was a huge pink diamond carved into a heart shape, surrounded by countless tiny diamonds sparkling brilliantly.
Someone with a keen eye immediately exclaimed, "It's QUEEN's latest design, 'Heart of Sakura.' I remember it was auctioned off last month at the Kobe Jewelry Center for 80 million. So Connor bought it as a gift for Diana!"
"How romantic! Connor had been planning this surprise for Diana so early. An 80 million surprise, my goodness."
"Connor must know Diana loves pink. This is so thoughtful."
Diana was clearly moved, tears welling up in her eyes. But she still looked at Connor uncertainly. "Uncle Connor, this gift is too precious." Connor smiled softly, his eyes full of affection. "80 million is nothing to me, as long as you like it."
"I love it, thank you."
Someone in the crowd teased, "Connor, put it on her!"
Connor took the 'Heart of Sakura' out of the box. Then, he gently lifted Diana's hair and placed the necklace around her neck. Her slender neck instantly shone brightly, so beautiful it was hard to look away. After putting it on, Connor thoughtfully adjusted her hair.
Diana looked blissfully happy, and compliments began to flow from everyone around.
Chloe saw all this from the sidelines. A hint of sarcasm suddenly appeared on her lips. The 'Heart of Sakura' was also her design. So, when he went to Japan, he did not just buy her 'From Darkness to Light.'
Winston had encouraged her to open up to Connor. She had really wavered. Fortunately, that 'I love you' had not yet been spoken.
After giving the gift, Connor received a phone call. He stepped away from the crowd, going behind a rockery to take the call.
The scene around Diana remained lively. People surrounded her, showering her with compliments and envious glances, until Eve arrived and broke the harmony.
Eve was late. In fact, she hadn't received an invitation from the Gilbert family. Her aunt Julie had gotten her into the Gilbert family's mansion. As soon as she arrived, she heard everyone discussing the 80 million necklace Connor gave to Diana. She went straight to Diana and indeed found the priceless pink diamond necklace around her neck.

Eve was furious, pointing at Diana's neck. "Diana, take off that necklace!"
Diana's friends blocked Eve. "Eve, look closely. This is Connor's gift to Diana. Why should she take it off?" "Connor is my fiancé; how could he give you such an expensive gift?"
The Nagel family had been somewhat stronger than the Gilbert family in recent years. Indeed, there were rumors that Jeffrey intended to ally with the Nagel family through marriage.
