"Guys, that piece is made of alloy, and the jade on it is just leftover scraps. It’s so thin that the raw materials
probably cost only a few hundred bucks. This is just a marketing strategy to entice people into spending. What's
there to brag about?” Someone from the crowd said.
"Well, someone's bitter. We have to factor in labor costs. Sure, this thing isn't worth much, but they're giving away
thousands of it for free. It still costs over a million dollars. And besides, it's not like they're forcing you to buy from
them. There's no need to be so petty."
'Cartier uses alloy material too. Why didn't anyone think that was cheap? The Velvet is considered high-end jewelry

criticize a local brand?"
'Exactly. Why not donate a million dollars to show your wealth if you think it's too little?"
The person's face turned ashen. He was unable to utter a single word in response to the people's taunts.
Stella made a brief statement and then left the stage, leaving the introduction of the new products to Maggie and
the others.
When Wenham saw his daughter stepping away, he quickly waved for her to come over.
Stella walked over with a smile and asked in a soft voice, "Hey, dad. What's up?"
Wenham took Stella's hand and proudly introduced her to a few people nearby. They were about his age. "This is
my daughter. What do you think? She is beautiful and courageous, just like me, right?"
Stella remained silent.
One of the middle-aged people laughed, "You really know how to flatter yourself. Since when did anyone describe
you as beautiful?"
Another person chimed in and said, "He's been like this since he was young! He married a beautiful wife and
bragged to me about it every day when I was still single back then. What kind of a friend is that?"
"Thank goodness his daughter doesn't take after him. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so pleasing to the eyes."
Jaylene listened to these compliments about Stella, and her lips were tightly pressed together.
Wenham was very pleased with himself. "You guys are just jealous that I have a daughter."
He turned to Stella and introduced her. "Stella, these are my friends. We had a reunion recently, and a few couldn't
make it. Let me introduce you to them."

Wenham proudly presented Stella to everyone, and she politely greeted them.
After the round of introductions, someone asked, "Wenham, does your daughter have a boyfriend? My son is about
to graduate with a Ph.D. and is about the same age as her."
Stella's eyelid twitched. 'Parents always want to play matchmaker.'
Wenham thought of Keegan and pursed his lips. "I think she does.”
'You think? What do you mean by that? Does she have a boyfriend or not?"
"Yes, she does. But, he's not as highly educated as your son, nor as eloquent. And, he's not as kind-hearted as your
son either," Wenham said indignantly.
His words left Stella taken aback.
