Charlene had actually managed to win the diamond.

Even though Moran had braced himself for the possibility, hearing the final result still left him in a daze.

It wasn't until the auction officially ended, and Charlene left with Maisie to handle

the paperwork, that he snapped out of it. He quickly messaged Thorne: *Charlene just spent 1.8 billion and took the diamond...*

Thorne replied: *Yeah.*

Moran stared at his phone, speechless.

Something this shocking, and all he got in return was a casual “yeah”?

And another thing-

*What was with that random period you sent me earlier?*

Thorne must have been busy, because it took a while for him to respond: *It meant stop gossiping.*

Moran was left even more exasperated.

Wasn't it normal to be shocked by this?

After all, maybe to prove she hadn't married Thorne for money, Charlene had always dressed modestly in the years since their wedding. She never showed off, never flaunted her wealth.

Maureen and Laverne were just as stunned by Charlene's bold move. For a long moment, neither of them could find their voices.

It wasn't until Dalton stood to leave and came over to say goodbye that Maureen finally snapped back to the present.
