The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 442

They had planned for every possibility except for this one-Ada Wang donating that necklace openly infront of everyone!

How could this be?!

Bethany hurriedly looked back to meet Zoe’s gaze from a few meters away, wanting to speak butunable to.

The reveal of Alexa’s work truly pushed the atmosphere of the auction toward its climax.

Those present who were part of the jewelry industry and enthusiasts all leaned forward and cranedtheir necks just to catch a glimpse of the legendary designer’s brilliant work.

Justin and Christopher had both heard of Alexa, and their eyes, which had been dull the whole night,sparked to life at that moment.

The two men gripped their paddles tightly, already eager to place their bids.

“Bethany, why did you stand up? Hurry up and sit down. Can’t you see the people surrounding us arelooking at you?” Shannon saw that Bethany was doing something undignified again and tugged at herarm hard.

“Mom, something’s happened!” Bethany collapsed into her seat. Her voice was even trembling.

“Something? What thing?”

“The necklace Ada Wang donated… gave it to her.”

“You gave it to her?! Where did you get an Alexa piece?!”

Shannon was shocked, but she quickly became furious. “You gave her such an expensive necklace?She’s basically wasting it and dismissing your goodwill! Is she trying to offend you?! Also, why didn’tyou bring it home to me if you had a piece of Alexa designer jewelry and gave it to that actressinstead? I raised you for nothing!”

“Mom… That necklace… It’s fake.” Bethany had broken out into a cold sweat as she spoke weakly.

Shannon was shocked. “What did you say? It’s fake?!”

“Zoe helped me get Alexa’s apprentice to make that counterfeit necklace…” Bethany stuttered. “AdaWang was taking a long time to sign the contract, so out of desperation, I came up with the plan to dowhat Bella Thompson did and use Alexa’s jewelry to get her favor… The fake is very well done, and it’sone of Alexa’s less popular works, so Ada Wang didn’t notice. I know the truth gets out eventually, but Ithought that even if it got revealed in the future, the contract would have been signed, and Ada Wangwouldn’t be able to go back on it even if she wanted to. But I never expected her to donate thenecklace to charity! If this gets out, Salvador Corporation’s reputation will be ruined!”

“You really are dumb as a rock!”

Shannon said in a furious whisper, jabbing her sharp nails at Bethany. “It’s better to not give anythingthan to give fake goods! Our family name will be ruined by you if this gets out. Don’t you know that?!”

“It wasn’t my idea… It was Zoe’s! You can’t put the whole blame on me!” Bethany pursed her lips inindignance, actually feeling aggrieved.

“You can’t even tell that Zoe is just using you as a tool?!” Shannon was so angry that she stomped herfoot, her eyes reddening. “If the fake isn’t discovered, you’ll have managed to get the rights to organizeher wedding. That aligns with her goal of moving against Bella Thompson. If it’s discovered, thenecklace was given by you under Salvador Corporation’s name, so what does it have to do with her?

She’d be able to make a full retreat from the situation, leaving you to clean up the mess. You won’teven be able to cry about it!”

Realization finally dawned on Bethany, and she cursed herself for allowing herself to get used by Zoejust because she wanted the contract signed.

“Mom! Then what should I do now?”

“We’ll just have to adapt to the situation as it develops.”

Shannon forced herself to take a deep breath to calm down. “There are so many of Alexa’s worksspread all around the world, so who knows if they can tell this one’s a fake? Even Ada Wang didn’trealize, so there’s no way anyone else will be able to!”

Bethany finally relaxed a little, but she was still worried the fake would be discovered.

“I want to say a few words about this piece of jewelry.” Ada Wang took the microphone and stood up toface the audience with a smile.

Her gaze finally fell on Bethany’s pale face. “I’d like to thank Ms. Bethany Salvador from SalvadorCorporation for giving me this necklace.”

Bella leisurely dug out her phone to text Steven, who was backstage.

In the next second, a bright and piercing spotlight shone on Bethany’s face, which was as stiff as astatue.

Meanwhile, the large screen overlooking the stage also began to display her face, which accuratelycaptured her every expression.

Bethany had no choice but to force a smile, cursing internally.

“Although I like Alexa’s works very much, I think donating a piece to give back to society and helpingmany more people in need is better than simply keeping it in my possession.”
