The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret

Chapter 531 The Cherished Necklace

Nathaniel felt as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over him, making him shiver uncontrollably.

"Alright! So you're really set on leaving me, aren't you?"

Freya observed him, noting how his demeanor crumbled before her eyes, leaving him looking like a ghost. He was fragile and as if he might float away.

She was surprised; she hadn't expected her divorce filing to shatter him so completely.

It puzzled her why he seemed so distraught when he was the one who had betrayed her first. If he was faking this display of anguish, he might have a future in acting.

Freya took a deep breath and replied, "Yes."

"Good!" Nathaniel's expression darkened, but he regained his composure quickly, as if the earlier moment of emotional breakdown hadn't happened.

He turned and walked back into the ballroom, with Grace scrambling to catch up, her high heels clattering as she hurried after him.

Nathaniel's actions weren't very courteous. He strode off, leaving his companion to chase after him.

Freya exhaled, still rattled by Nathaniel's intense presence.

"Are you okay?" Sawyer asked, coming over and steadying her arm.

She instinctively pulled her arm away from him, keeping her composure.

"We should head in as well; it wouldn't be appropriate for a jeweler to miss the auction," she said.

"Sure," Sawyer said, his hand falling away but still feeling the warmth where he had held her arm.

He accompanied Freya into the ballroom, where the auction was about to start. Today's auction focused on jewelry.

The collection included pieces from celebrities, items collected by charitable organizations from abroad, and new designs by Freya and Vault Corp.
