The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 444

Chapter 444

Justin and Christopher’s hearts trembled as they looked at Bella in unison.

They were both very attuned to Bella, so they realized right away that she was angry.

Thus, they both caved and backed out of the bid.

It was not a big deal. Why get angry? They would just give in to her.

“Congratulations, Ms. Thompson! The necklace is yours!”

The auctioneer was also very good at judging the situation. Before anyone could even react, he banged his gavel, which meant the necklace went to Bella.

The hall was silent for two beats before it erupted into roaring applause.

Bella, however, remained calm, with not a trace of happiness on her features as her eyes remained dull.

“Mom! Bella Thompson bought the fake necklace! Do you think she’s realized it’s a fake?” Bethany was panicking so much that her voice. was trembling. Her heart was beating as fast as a rabbit’s.

“Shut your mouth! Are you trying to yell that for the whole world to hear?!” Shannon viciously pinched Bethany’s arm, spitting venomous. fury from her eyes. “She definitely hasn’t. She won’t expect a fake item to appear at her auction. Let’s just consider her $150 million as accumulating good karma for you!”

Bethany was still worried. “What if she notices after taking it back-”

“It’ll have nothing to do with you once the auctioned item leaves this place! Who would know if someone swapped it out after she took it home or if she was deliberately slandering you?”

Shannon sneered sinisterly.

Bethany admired her mother’s ability to twist the truth without batting an eye. She secretly cursed herself and wondered why she could not have shared a brain with her mother.

Ada Wang could not help but smile in satisfaction when she saw that the piece of jewelry she donated was bought by Bella at the auction’s highest bid so far.

She even thought that Bella must still be dreaming of working together with her, or else she had no other reason to go that far.

Ah, youth!

Right then, the youthful Bella’s cold eyes darkened as she took out her phone to text Steven.

Then she adjusted her position, as if waiting for a good show to start.

“The next piece of jewelry is from-”

The moment the red cloth was taken off, the auctioneer’s excited words suddenly cut off.

He looked at the teardrop-shaped diamond in the display case and then looked at the flow sheet in his hand.

There was a mistake. These were not the right goods!

When the dazzling spotlight shone on the glass display, the crowd made sounds of astonishment.

“I’m not seeing things wrongly, am I? Isn’t that necklace the one that Ada Wang just donated?!”

“That’s right, it is! It’s exactly the same!”

“There’s no way! Each one of Alexa’s designs is completely unique!

How could there be two of one design, and how could they appear at the same auction?!”

“So… Is it possible that one of them is a fake?!”

The crowd hotly debated as they pointed and gestured at the necklace in the display case.

Ada Wang leaned forward in complete shock, thunderstruck, as she looked at the necklace on stage.

Shannon and Bethany were both frozen in terror as they held each other’s hands tightly. Bethany could even feel the cold sweat slide. down her spine.

The necklace she gave Ada Wang was fake.

So there was only one possibility. The necklace on stage right now. that she did not know who had donated had to be the real one!

“Ms. Thompson, didn’t you check the lots before the auction? How could such a mess have happened?” Alice did not mean to reproac Bella but was purely concerned for her.

“Was I the one who didn’t follow the rules? Was it not Ms. Ada?” Bell smiled and asked in a thought- provoking manner.

Alice was taken aback. “That necklace… Could it be-?!”

Amidst the crowd’s suspicion, Bella gracefully stood up and walked onto the stage.

Justin narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Bella smile charmingly and dazzlingly.

His heart, which had been lying dormant under his suit, thumped strangely, and every inch of his skin started burning like he had been scorched by fire.

“Everyone, I would first like to apologize as the organizer of Mint’s charity auction, and I bear responsibility as the person in charge of the hotel for the error that has happened, which has given everyone a bad experience.”
