The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 74

When everyone looked at it, Stephanie looked too.

This was the gem she provided.

She sold it to Jeremiah first, and then he handled the personal info and put the item up for auction.

From the moment she decided to come over, Stephanie knew she had to bring something.

Because it was a charity dinner.

If she just came over and didn’t say anything, it was hard to get past Garrett.

And this time, she came just to get Garrett.

This Tanzanite wasn’t as expensive as most of the competitors, but it was still decent enough and matched her status as a new–generation artist.

And…

Stephanie lowered her eyes a little.

This was the birthstone she had prepared for that child who was gone.

When she got this piece of Tanzanite, she was really looking forward to the baby’s birth.

But now…

After she found out the charity dinner was for sick kids, she took out

the Tanzanite.

Just think of it as doing some good deeds for the child you already lost.

I hoped it could do well on the other side.

Under the light, the dark blue gem was shining.

“This Tanzanite started at 700,000 dollars, each bid increase…”

As the auctioneer finished speaking, a paddle went up, and then a number showed up on the board.

“Bidder No. 888 offered 800,000.”

As the auctioneer spoke, everyone looked at that bidder number 888.

“888“-this auction plate wasn’t something just anyone could get.

Then, everyone saw Roxanne holding up that sign.

This was the first bid for “888” tonight.

Roxanne was brought by Maxwell, so bidder 888 was actually Maxwell.

Stephanie also looked over.

Actually, it wasn’t just Stephanie–almost everyone there had their eyes on Roxanne.

The second floor was for more private people, but it was optional. There were some seats where you could choose to sit where others could see you, or you could hide in the dark.

Right now, Roxanne was out in the open.

Jeremiah knew this Tanzanite belonged to Stephanie, and he also knew why Stephanie took it out. Now, seeing Roxanne bidding, he just wanted to rush over and tear her apart.

Tonight she was going to sell this Tanzanite, but this Tanzanite could go to anyone, just not to Roxanne!

On the other side, at Maxwell’s seat, he looked at Roxanne holding up a sign in front of him.

“Like it?” he said calmly, his dark eyes showing no emotion.

Roxanne smiled and nodded.

Maxwell didn’t say anything, just looked down at the sparkling Tanzanite.

He remembered, he seemed to have seen this Tanzanite before.

That was in early March, when he saw it with Stephanie.

Back then, they had just dealt with another round of When are you having kids? from the grandparents.

On the way back to the villa, Aston Martin passed by the biggest jewelry store in Haraville and saw this Tanzanite.

The night in early March was still a bit chilly outside the car, but it was warm inside.
