The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 75

Maxwell closed his eyes, his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, and when he opened his eyes again, he picked up the drink next to him and took a sip.

I didn’t know who ended up with that last Tanzanite, or why it showed up at this charity auction.

Just as Maxwell calmed down a bit.

Suddenly, a snow–white hand reached out from the seats not far away. The fingernails had pale blue nail polish, looking mysterious,

beautiful, and pure. This hand was holding a number card.

“After bidder No. 888 made an offer, bidder No. 823 also joined the bidding and offered 900,000 dollars!”

Maxwell and Roxanne looked over there together.

That hand, that seat.

It was Serena!

And everyone’s eyes were on it again, and the loud buzzing of people talking filled the whole villa.

“This was Maxwell’s first time attending a charity auction dinner in two years, his first bid tonight, and it wasn’t even for anything special. Who would be dumb enough to bid against him?”

“Yeah, when this piece of Tanzanite just came out, I was honestly amazed for a second, but it’s just Tanzanite, so it still wasn’t eye- catching enough. I didn’t even think about making an offer.”

“That’s not right, guys, wasn’t it just Roxanne next to him who made the bid?”

“It didn’t matter, he was using Maxwell’s number plate, and Maxwell himself didn’t stop him, so wasn’t it the same? Even if it was his girlfriend who liked it, buying it to please her was the same.”

Everyone nodded. This was kind of an unspoken thing between them.

Unless you really had to get it, giving face to the right people was just how things were done.

“Heard about it, the one who made the offer was that woman called Serena brought by Mr. Jeremiah.”

Everyone was confused.

“What was this all about? Did Mr. Jeremiah want to pick a fight with Maxwell again?”

“I don’t know, he’s always had a bad temper, who knew what kind of crazy thing he was doing this time?”

While everyone was talking, on another secret seat on the second floor, Simon was practically doubled over with laughter.

“My stupid little brother, you already pissed off Sir Conway, and now you’re being dumb again! LOL, I don’t even need to do anything, you’ll get yourself killed all on your own!”

Another person, hidden in the shadows nearby, listened to Simon’s loud laughter and calmly took a sip of his drink.

On the other side, Roxanne just couldn’t believe that someone was

actually bidding against her.

She was planning on that all along.

At this charity auction, if something was too expensive, she wouldn’t go for it. If it was too cheap, it would embarrass her and Maxwell.

This piece of Tanzanite was just right.

You could say she bought it for fun with Maxwell’s card, it was her way of showing some love.

This piece of Tanzanite was going to be the symbol of their love from

now on.

And Maxwell wouldn’t let her lose out, what she gave here today, he’d give her even more.

Not to mention, just from online marketing, she could make a lot of

money.

This was their first time bidding, so normally people would go easy on them. She even added an extra 100,000 to the starting price and called out 800,000, but unexpectedly, Serena actually dared to follow!

Whose idea was it? Serena’s or Jeremiah’s?

Was it a test?

Still wanted to go against her or Maxwell?

Why was that?

Roxanne couldn’t figure it out, should she add more?

This Tanzanite was worth a million. Her highest price in mind was 1.2 million. If it went over 1.2 million, she felt it wasn’t worth it.
