The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 90

But Maxwell just glanced at her when he heard what Roxanne said and didn’t say anything else.

That Tanzanite.

At first, he just asked Roxanne if she liked it, but after the

intermission, he realized that the Tanzanite wasn’t something he bid on for Roxanne.

Maxwell looked up at the woman who was slowly sitting back into the shadows of her seat, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

This woman always could easily affect his judgment and mood.

A few words on the rooftop made him realize he wanted that Tanzanite not because of Roxanne.

There were also bidding tactics and mind games.

She was always so mysterious, and he was an open book in front of her.

What flashed in Maxwell’s eyes was coldness.

On the rooftop, he had already told her not to follow anymore. Was it at that moment that she had already figured out everything that would happen next?

After his unlimited bidding, her bids were 5 million and 10 million, which were 5 times and 10 times. Everything was just right.

When Garrett showed up, the two started bidding right there. She bid

fifteen million, then twenty million, watched how he reacted, and then pulled out at the right moment.

She totally had him figured out.

Even Maxwell had to admit, even though she made him spend more money to get that Tanzanite, even though he got outbid right there.

Okay, but at that moment, what he felt for her wasn’t disgust.

But appreciated.

Whether it was courage, skill, or her grasp and understanding of his mind, she was top–notch.

He won, but he also lost.

She lost, but she also won.

Who was she, anyway?

Meanwhile, on the two–and–a–half–story platform, the lights slowly dimmed, and Garrett watched the woman below walk into the shadows.

“No wonder she’s his daughter, if he were still alive…”

Right then, as the lights went all the way out, Garrett let out a long sigh, and he shook his head.

There was no what if.

It was just like when his once–proud son died at the bottom of the sea, that young and promising man had also fallen from a tall building and died right in front of his beloved daughter.

“Go back. I felt a bit tired.” Garrett’s voice sounded a lot older in that

Second floor, seat 823, Stephanie sat calmly in her seat.

Suddenly she felt a bit tired, and she leaned back on the sofa.

She had just lost the baby in a car accident and fallen down the stairs not long ago, so her body still couldn’t really handle it.

Jeremiah just watched all this, and he was so excited he almost jumped

1. up.

“Serena, I was really proud of you!”

Jeremiah whispered excitedly, “You fixed my grandpa’s problem. Even in the face of Maxwell’s unlimited bidding, you still managed to do so much when things were tough.”

“You solved all the problems that I thought were impossible to turn around and felt extremely tricky.”

“How did you do it!”

Stephanie looked at the lit scented candle on the table, and the flame burned a bright yellow.

How did you do it?

Her father’s gentle, smiling face appeared in her mind again.

It was just that I lost mere.

So I slowly understood.

It was just because I once loved deeply enough, so I could understand enough.

She already understood when she heard Maxwell’s advice to her on the rooftop.

It couldn’t be done.

But she insisted on doing it.

The training from the Shelton family, all the struggles and lessons she went through for years, were no joke.

She was Stephanie.

It wasn’t Mrs. Humphrey, it was the Shelton family’s daughter, Stephanie.
