His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 228

Chapter 228

They’d never quessed that Ada would donate the n*ecklace, right in the middle of the auction!

Impossible

Glynnis quickly stole a glance at Edith, ther eyes met across the room, but neither of them could utter a word!

The unveiling of Alea’s piece sent waves of excitement through the crowd

Industry experts and jewelry enthusiasts leaned in, stretching their n*ecks like giraffes, to catch a glimpse of the legendary designer’s sparkling masterpiece

Thaddeus and Avery, who had long admired Alea, had their eyes it up at this very moment.

Both men tightened their grip on their bidding panels, ready to join the fray

“Glynnis, why are you standing? Sit down, can’t you see everyone’s looking at you?” Elspeth chided as she pulled Glynnis back into her seat.

“Mom, something’s gone wrong!” Glynnis slumped back down, her voice trembling

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

“The n*ecklace Ada donated is the one I gave to her”

“You gave it? Where did you get Alea’s piece?”

Elspeth was taken aback, then grew furious, That old hag is squandering a precious gift, and you let her! Are you okay with her slapping you in the face like this? And you, why didn’t you give me Alea’s piece instead of giving it to that actress? I cant believe I raised you!”

“Mom, that n*ecklace is fake Glynnis confessed in a shaky voice, a cold sweat breaking on her forehead.

Elspeth’s heart skipped a beat, “What did you say? Fake?”

It was Edith had Alea’s apprentice replicate the n*ecklace”

Glynnis stuttered, “Ada wouldn’t sign the contract, so I had to resort to this, to try and win her over just like Evadne did. The n*ecklace was a perfect replica, and it was from Aleas lesser known collection so Ada didnt notice. I knew the truth would come out eventually, but by then, the contract would be signed and it’d be too late for Ada to back out. But I didn’t expect her to donate the n*ecklace to the auction! If it’s found out, our family’s reputation will be ruined”

“You’re an absolute fool!”

Elspeth hissed, her sharp nails digging into Glynnis’s arm, “Even if you couldn’t give her a real piece, you shouldn’t have given her a fake one! If it’s found out, the whole Abernathy family will be humiliated, do you understand?”

It wasn’t my idea. Edith suggested it, you can’t blame me!” Glynnis pouted, feeling unfairly treated

“Cant you see Edith is using you?”

Elspeth stomped her foot in frustration, her eyes welling up with tears, if it’s not found out, you’ll get the contract and shell get rid of Evadne, if it’s found out, the n*ecklace was given in the name of the Abernathy Group, what does Edith have to lose? She’ll walk away scot-free while you clean up the mess!”

Glynnis realized her mistake, cursing herself for being so gullible.

“Mom! What do we do now?”

“We’ll have to play it by ear”

Elspeth took a deep breath, steadying herself, There are so many of Alea’s pieces around the world whos to say this one is fake? Ada didn’t notice, and no one else would ether!” Glynnis felt slightly relieved, but she was still worried about being found out

Td like to say a few words about this piece” Ada stood up, microphone in hard, and smiled at the crowd

Her gaze finally settled on Glynnis, who had turned pale, Tdike to thank Miss Glynnis for this n*ecklace was a gift from her”

Evadne casually took out her phone and sent a message to Jason backstage

The next moment, a spotlight dramatically illuminated Glynnus, who was frozen like a statue

And on the big screen overhead, there was a close up of Glynnis’s face capturing every detall of her expression.

Glynnis had no choice but to smile awkwardly, cursing under her breath.

“Although I’m a great fan of Alea’s work, I believe in giving back to society and helping those in need, rather than keeping this p

his piece to myself. This aligns with Aleat philosophy when designing her pieces, and as her fan, I want to follow in her footsteps. Thope Miss Glynnis won’t mind my decision, I really like the n*ecklace, but I believe it can do more good if its put to

use

Glynnis had no choice but to agree.

All she wanted now was for the spotlight to go out, for her embarrassed face to disappear from the big screen, and for herself to disappear!

Alea’s peces are rare and hold great significance. Thus, Ada has decided to begin the bidding for this piece at no reserve price!”

The bidding began, but the crowd was hesitant.

“Three million dollars”

A calm voice suddenly rang out. Avery raised his panel, a smile playing on his l*ps.

Three million dollars?

That was the highest bid of the night!

Although Ala’s piece was worth the price, the high starting bid deterred many potential bidders

“Five million dollars.” Thaddeus raised his panel, his expression as cold as ever

But the glint in his eyes betrayed his burning ambition and determination.

The crowd was stunned. Did Thaddeus have a money printing machine at home?

This was a leap of two million dollars.

Those who were still considering bidding now withdrew completely

“Seven million dollars. Avery raised his panel again, not even batting an eye.

Hi, too, raised his bid by twenty million, clearly challenging Thaddeus!

Thaddeus continued, “Nine million”

Avery followed, “Ten million”

The crowd gasped in disbelief, causing a start

Alright a’s settled them, this Mr. Avery must have a money printing machine at home”

Evadne crossed her arms over her chest, her long lashes fluttering, her l*ps pressed into a tight line. As the bids rose as fast as a skyrocketing stock market, not a hint of amusement played on her face “Ms Evadne, these two don’t seem to be bidding, more like they are arguing “Even tris could see it!

“Yeah, they’re treating this place like a freeway interchange, each one trying to outdo the other”

Evadnes brows knitted together in frustration, she seriously considered confiscating the bidding paddles of these two ostentatious men Meanwhile, Elspeth was left dumbstruck.

“Mom, didn’t you say this guy was a penniless man? But he’s calling out bids of ten million! Does he look like he’s broke?” Glynnis asked in shock Elspeth was lost for words

Could it be that she had misjudged him this time? Was he playing the old trick of acting like a sheep to devour a tiger?

“Twelve million” Thaddeus, expressionless, upped the bid again

Alea had always been a thorn in his side: Held been holding in his resentment for a long time, so he was determined to win the bid tonight Fifteen million

A clear pleasant voice rang out, like a pearl dropping onto a jade plate

Evadne’s beautiful eyes turned cold. She had finally reached her limit, and raised her paddle
