Pero ningún habitante de aquellas regiones de
miseria era tan feliz como Adoración, ni excitaba tanto la envidia entre
las amigas, pues la rica alhaja que ceñía su dedo y que mostraba con el
puño cerrado, era fina y de ley y había costado unos grandes dinerales.

But no inhabitant of those regions of poverty was as happy as Adoración, nor did she arouse such envy amongst her friends, for the precious jewel that adorned her finger, which she showed with a clenched fist, was fine and of the highest quality, and had cost a small fortune.

Discussion
In Spanish it’s clear: Adoración is happier than everyone else and it is the piece of jewellery that arouses envy, but in English negatives work differently and I get confused. So thank you, I will take your suggestion.
by soybeba 2 weeks, 4 days agoHello Beba. I think something should be slightly altered in. 'nor did she arouse such envy amongst her friends,', because she did arouse envy.
by marina 2 weeks, 4 days agoMaybe : 'nor did anyone else arouse such envy...' ??
