Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 70

Cade’s mind was spinning. “But you gave it to me!”

He paused, then added, “You never said it was a family heirloom?”

Raven’s voice was sharp with anger. “You’ve got some nerve! When did I ever say I was giving it to you?

“I just lent it to you to look at. Do you really think I would mistake my family’s heirloom?

“Even if I did give it to you, does that mean you can just hand it out to others to win favors?”

“That’s not what I meant, Raven. There’s been a misunderstanding,” Cade said, trying to calm her down.

“I don’t care what the misunderstanding is. Give it back, and we’re through,” she said firmly.

“No way!” Cade shot back immediately.

He had finally managed to find a new girlfriend who was better than Myrtle Morrison. There was no way he would let her go that easily.

Raven turned to the auction house staff. “This belongs to the Simon family. Cade had no right to put it up for auction.”

The staff looked completely lost. They never expected something like this to happen. The manager rushed off to report to his higher–ups.

Meanwhile, everyone who overheard their argument went wild.

Someone whispered, “Wait, the painting Cade just bid on was the one he donated? No wonder the host didn’t say much about where it came from.”

Another person chimed in, “The painting isn’t even his to begin with! Now the real owner showed up to claim it. That’s just next–level embarrassing.”

“Seriously, what’s the point? He donates it and then buys it back?” someone else snickered.

Someone explained, “He got it for nothing, donated it to look good for charity, then bought it back cheap to score some brownie points.

“As long as nobody figures out what he donated, he gets to milk it both ways.”

“Wait, did none of you catch the real twist? Cade is actually dating Miss Simon!” someone piped up, eyes wide.

If it weren’t for today’s mess, they would’ve looked like a pretty decent couple, though Cade was definitely reaching way up.

The Turner family was top–tier, but Cade didn’t have much say in things.

The Simon family wasn’t quite on the Turner family’s level, but Raven was the one running the show in her family.

The investor Cade brought along was right at the eye of the storm. He was seriously regretting ever agreeing to come with Cade today.

He’d actually wanted to check out Cade’s company, hoping it might open the door to a legit partnership with Turner Group.

However, not only did his plans fall through, but he also ended up in a whole mess he never signed up for.

Right now, all he wanted was to bolt out of there.

Denton forced a smile as he looked at the two facing off. “Mr. Turner, Miss Simon, I just remembered something urgent I needed to handle. I will see you.”
