Capítulo 280: Chapter 280: Conflict of Emotions

On the bustling 18th of July, Ariel's highly anticipated debutante ball finally took place. To mark the occasion, her mother spared no expense and booked the most luxurious hotel in the city, ensuring it would be a memorable event.

The atmosphere was charged with expectation, and the hall quickly filled with eager guests. Among all present, Ariel stood out not only as the hostess but as a true gem. Dressed in a spectacular outfit, the young woman proudly displayed a set of diamond-studded head ornaments, so translucent they resembled glass. These unique jewels had been meticulously carved from the rare rock she had acquired at a prestigious auction. And, under the hall's lights, the stones glittered in an almost hypnotic manner, drawing the gazes of all.

The jewelry connoisseurs present quickly assessed that the set was worth a fortune – certainly hundreds of millions in local currency.
