The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 87

“Were there any other bidders for this piece of Tanzanite?” Garrett spoke up again.

No one answered, and no one stepped up.

Waited for about 30 seconds, Garrett nodded and went on, “Good, now let me ask you two, did you bid voluntarily?”

Both of them raised their hands at the same time to signal.

Like this, Garrett raised his hand, and the lights suddenly changed.

With an exciting sound of drums and gongs, Garrett spoke again: “Everyone, I know the situation on both sides. I, Garrett, and the Conway Group guarantee to you all, with our reputation, that there was no malicious price–raising in today’s bidding between the two parties.”

Everyone looked at me and I looked at them.

This situation got even weirder, okay.

There was no malicious price–raising, and no marketing involved. Both people just wanted this Tanzanite!

So, all the bids from No. 823 just now were real bids from the heart!

What was going on!

Of course, the people there didn’t know, and Maxwell frowned a little and looked at the woman standing there calmly.

Stephanie didn’t look at Maxwell, she just lowered her eyes a little.

Garrett knew who she was. Before, she had asked Jeremiah to hide the real seller info of this Tanzanite, but none of that could fool Garrett.

After all, Jeremiah was Garrett’s grandson.

Even Garrett might have known that this Tanzanite was actually the birthstone she picked out for her own kid.

A wife didn’t want the mistress or her husband, who helped the mistress, to win the kid’s birthstone at the auction. This was a totally real and urgent bidding intention, not a case of malicious price–raising.

No matter where it was talked about, nobody would doubt her motives.

But was it really like that?

There was a hint of mockery in Stephanie’s eyes.

She knew it couldn’t be done, but did she still try to force a bid?

She, Stephanie, wasn’t that dumb.

Looking up again, Stephanie glanced at Maxwell standing over there, her red lips slightly curved.

And he was looking at her, too.

At that moment, it felt like an invisible force field surrounded the two

of them.

At that moment, we shut out everyone else, and it was just us.

This was a mind game!

One had the upper hand with money and power, the other was mysterious and hard to figure out.

Maxwell frowned.

Who was this woman, anyway?

He had been in business for years, but this was the first time he’d met someone so hard to figure out.

“Very good.” Just then, Garrett spoke again from the half–floor platform on the second floor, “Next, this auction will be hosted by me, Garrett, in person.”

The crowd that had just calmed down a bit exploded again.

“Sir Conway hosted it himself! Oh my god, how many years had it been since Sir Conway last showed up? This time he actually hosted for the two of them himself!”

“This was really a historic moment!”

“Was the scene of Garrett dominating the auction house twenty years ago about to happen again!”

“Clang clang clang clang clang…”

Another round of loud knocking came, and everyone slowly quieted

down.

Everyone looked at these three places.

Second–and–a–half floor platform, Seat 888, Seat 823.

“Now, the bidding continued, bidder 888 offered 12 million dollars, is there any higher bid?” Garrett’s voice echoed through the whole hall.

As Garrett’s voice came, everyone looked at those two seats again.

Maxwell looked at the woman not far away. She just stood there
