Chapter 16

Susan took a deep breath and then turned around.

Behind her, Yana was holding Timothy’s hand and looking at her in surprise.

Timothy clenched his hands slightly before quickly loosening them.

Beside them were several girls, whom Susan recognized as Yana’s close friends whom she often hung out with.

“What a coincidence,” Susan said lightly.

A sweet smile appeared on Yana’s face. “Susan, we are going to get engaged. And I suggested buying some ordinary jewelry, but Timothy insisted on getting me the best. I couldn’t persuade him, so I had to come to the auction to take a look.”

Susan was silent for a moment and said in a soft voice, “Are you getting engaged? Congratulations

to you.”

“Thank you, Susan. Yana’s smile grew sweeter. “Timothy and I will definitely be very happy together. And you must also have a good time with your husband, Susan.”

Susan nodded casually, offering her response.

Yana looked around and suddenly said, “Susan, where is Ben? Why isn’t he here with you?”

Susan’s lips moved, as she was unsure of how to answer.

One of Yana’s friends chimed in with a smile, “Yana, don’t ask such questions. Ben is not the type to accompany his wife to buy jewelry, you know.”

“Yeah, not everyone is as gentle and considerate as Mr. Leen.”

“Speaking of luck, Yana, you’re the lucky one.”

Yana’s friends were all flattering her.

A trace of triumph flashed across Yana’s eyes.

But Yana said, “Don’t say that. Ben is actually very good; he might just be busy with work.”

“Mr. Leen is busy too, but he still made it here, didn’t he? That’s the difference between caring and not caring.”

“That’s right.”

Those girls kept talking.

Susan lowered her gaze and said lightly, “I have something else to attend to. Excuse me.”

Since Yana was there, Susan didn’t want to stay in this auction anymore.
