Reborn to Marry My Best Friend's Uncle novel Chapter 107

Christian stood still before Annie, taking in the way her ears flushed pink. The corners of his lips couldn't help but lift into a smile.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a velvet ring box before slowly opening it.

A massive diamond ring lay quietly inside. Under the lights, it refracted a brilliance far more dazzling than the scattered diamonds on her wedding gown.

Annie's eyes widened, and she stood frozen in place. "I can't accept that," she murmured, instinctively taking a step back and waving her hands in refusal.

Christian's smile deepened. He reached out and gently took her hand before saying in a low, soothing voice filled with reassurance. "Relax, dear. It's fake. We need props, don't we?"

Annie shot him a doubtful look, then glanced at the "fake" ring that looked anything but. The cut and clarity… None of it screamed imitation.

But he was right. He was just a manager who made about 100 thousand dollars a month, so how could he possibly afford the real thing? She figured that this was probably one of those hyper-realistic replicas.

The thought seemed to ease the uneasiness in her chest slightly. So, she stopped resisting and let him slide the ring onto her finger. It fit perfectly.

Annie ultimately accepted it.

Not far away, Elise stood rooted to the spot and hardly dared to breathe. She kept her head lowered, but her peripheral vision never left the ring. Her mind was reeling.

If she remembered correctly, that ring had appeared at a top-tier auction in Arboria, named "Eternal Heart".

It had been bought by a mysterious bidder for the astronomical price of 30 million dollars, and now, it turned out that Christian was that mysterious bidder. And here he was, casually telling Annie that this 30-million-dollar ring was fake.
