His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 228

They’d never quessed that Ada would donate the necklace, 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 necks 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 necklace 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 necklace 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 necklace”

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 necklace 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 necklace to the auction! If it’s found out, our family’s reputation will be ruined”
