Insulted By Billionaire, Blind Sculptor Reveals Diamond Worth Millions!
The penthouse dining room was a symphony of wealth and excess, a stark contrast to the tempest raging outside. Rain lashed against the floor-to-ceiling windows, blurring the neon cityscape into streaks of vibrant color. Inside, the warm glow of a crystal chandelier cast dancing reflections on the dark mahogany table. Victoria Sterling, a woman whose sharp features seemed carved from ice, surveyed the scene with a patronizing smirk. Her emerald satin gown shimmered, a testament to her status. Across from her sat Martha, a serene blind sculptor, her face a roadmap of time, her hands dusted with the familiar grey of terracotta clay. Martha wore a simple, faded linen apron, a stark contrast to Victoria's finery.
The Condescending Offer
Victoria Sterling: "Take the fifty dollars, Martha—it’s charity for worthless dirt."
Victoria’s voice, cold and sneering, cut through the ambient sounds of distant thunder and muted clinking glasses. She slapped a crumpled fifty-dollar bill onto the table, her manicured fingers pressing into the polished wood. It lay beside an unbaked, cracked clay bust, Martha’s latest creation. Victoria leaned forward, her contempt palpable. Martha, unmoving, her sightless milky eyes gazing serenely forward, remained silent, her mouth firmly closed. The only sign of her awareness was a slight twitch of her ear, attuned to the rhythm of the rain.

Victoria Sterling: "You cannot even mold symmetry in the dark."
Victoria aggressively snatched the bust, her crimson stiletto nail digging into a hairline fissure on the sculpture’s neck. The brittle terracotta fractured with an audible dry snap, showering fine clay powder onto the table. Martha’s posture remained spine-straight, her weathered lips curving into a faint, knowing smirk as Victoria’s mocking laughter filled the air. But Martha’s calm was a silent defiance, a testament to a strength Victoria could not comprehend.
