My Husband Is A Secret Billionaire By Wiuu

Chapter 32
Jane felt a knot in her stomach, exchanging a glance with Annie, whose gaze mirrored her own apprehension.
“What’s she up to now?” Annie knitted her brows, “Definitely not up to any good! Jane, be careful!”
“Well, it doesn’t matter.” Jane replied with a cool demeanor as she walked into Ava’s office.
Ava, in a calculated move, drew all the blinds and left the door wide open, to give all and sundry outside a clear view of the goings-on.
Jane was a tad puzzled. It didn’t seem like Ava was out to get her.
After all, all eyes were on them.
“Jane, meet Mr. Sherwood, from the Illumination Group,” Ava introduced, a smile playing on her lips. “Mr. Sherwood, this is our sales champion this month.”
Jane gave a polite nod with a smile, but the more she looked at Ava, the more Annie’s words rang
true.
Ava had no good intentions…
Carl Sherwood was a genteel middle-aged man. The moment Jane stepped in, his gaze fixed on the ring on her finger, never wavering.
“Jane, today’s your lucky day!” Ava smirked. “Though Mr. Sherwood is a businessman, he’s quite the connoisseur when it comes to gem and jewelry appraisal! He
an active board member of the Jewelers Association, and many jewelry firms have sought his expert judgment. His eyes, sharp as a hawk’s, can discern a genuine piece from a fake with just a glance!”

“Mr. Sherwood.” Ava turned her gaze towards Carl. What do you make of the ring on Jane’s finger?”
Jane’s heart pounded as she instinctively shielded her ring.
Carl stood up, offering a courteous smile. “Ms. Fallon, may I take a gander at it?”
Jane hesitated. A few curious coworkers had already started rubbernecking from the hallway. Ava stood with her arms crossed, a sneer etched on her face, the picture of schadenfreude.
“Mr. Sherwood, this ring is worthless, Jane said softly. “I wear it as a daily trinket. There’s nothing remarkable about it. It’s not worth your once-over.”
“Is that so?” Ava’s voice cut through the air like a knife. “Oh, but someone mentioned this is her wedding ring!
“Jane, why play hard to get? If Mr. Sherwood takes a shine to gems and jewelry, show him! He’s an important customer for our company. Don’t step on his toes!”
Jane took a deep breath, the penny finally dropping as to why Ava had opened all the doors and windows.
She paused for a moment, an Inscrutable look on her face, and then slid off her ring, placing it on the table.
Carl smiled, first donning a pair of white gloves, then extracting a professional Chelsea Filter from his bag to examine the ring up close.

However, the more he observed, the more his complexion seemed off.
Jitters bubbled in Jane’s stomach. Just last night, Dan had confided in her that this ring wasn’t valuable… Now with Ava bringing in a so-called jewelry expert, wasn’t it just to call out her ring as a cheap knock-off and humiliate her in public?
“Ms. Fallon, Carl piped up out of the blue, “where did this ring come from?”
Jane eyed his stern and startled expression, finding it rather fishy.
“It’s a gift from my husband, my wedding ring. Is there a problem?”
Carl’s eyes practically bulged out of their sockets. “May I ask your husband’s… surname?”
Jane, creasing her brows, found his question out of left field. But she maintained her courteous exterior and answered softly. “His surname is Murphy.”
Carl was stunned. The confusion in his eyes did not dissipate, but deepened.
Why would his surname be Murphy? The inconspicuous emblem on the ring shank was clearly the symbol of the Campbell family from Central City!
If he wasn’t barking up the wrong tree, this ring was a treasured heirloom of the Campbell family. once worn by one of their ancestors when she was a consort.
