Mable had casually picked the diamond ring from her jewelry box to match her gown tonight. The diamond was a rare natural yellow diamond, and the market price was estimated to be close to seven figures. Blair looked deeply at the ring she took off. Howard called for the staff to register the ring donated by Mable. Soon, the charity dinner officially started. Mable looked at the agenda and noticed Hannah was the guest of honor for tonight. She would be singing a song during the intermission. After the leader gave his speech, the auction began. Everyone present was reputable, so the items they donated were valuable. After all, this occasion was more than just for charity. It was also a display of their family’s reputation. Everyone wondered what Blair had donated. At this moment, Old Master Morse’s collection was being auctioned on the stage. After a few rounds of bidding, the famous landscape painting was auctioned off for a million dollars. Mable also wondered what
With that, the auction continued. Howard raised the bid. “1.6 million dollars!” Blair followed suit. “1.8 million dollars!” Mable shook her head at Howard and whispered, “Stop raising the bid!” If it went on, it would not be worth it. Although the money was for charity, money did not fall from trees. The ring was worth 1.3 million dollars at most. It would not be worth it if it cost any more than that. Howard nodded and stopped. In fact, he knew when Blair started bidding for the ring that Blair would eventually have it. Howard only raised the bid several times to raise the final price. Even if he could not have the ring, he could not let Blair have it easy. “1.8 million dollars, going once, going twice, going thrice! “Sold! Congratulations, Master Blair! We’d also like to thank you for your contribution to charity…” Amos followed the staff to complete the procedures and soon returned with Mable’s ring. “Master Blair.” Blair took the box. Lesley stared at
‘I won’t let this bitch go! ‘Never!’ Lesley thought. The auction items after that were unique in their own way. Mable was no longer focused on the auction. She wanted it to end so she could teach Blair a hard lesson where no one was around! “The last item is a pendant of suet jade donated by Fowler Enterprise. The starting price is 700,000 dollars.” Mable was stunned. At this moment, the big screen on the stage showed a close-up of the jade pendant. The pendant was only the size of a cherry. It was round and white, faintly shining with colorful light under the light. Two words were engraved on the pendant, and they were vaguely visible. Blair frowned and turned to ask Amos, “What’s going on?” That was not what Fowler Enterprise donated. Amos was also baffled. He clearly remembered that the item he sent for auction was an antique vase Blair had acquired at a high price abroad the year before. How did it turn into a jade pendant? Amos did not dare to delay the m
Mable looked coldly at Blair. “Blair, what’s there to explain? “You don’t know how the jade pendant came to be in the charity auction? Or you simply didn’t know it was a…” She could not bring herself to say it was a wedding gift. In any case, they were divorced. “It’s true. I don’t know why the jade pendant is here. Mabes—” “Stop it. I don’t want to hear it!” Mable did not want to listen to his nonsense and pushed him away. “I don’t want to hear it. Get out of the w— Ah!” Before she could finish, she was lifted into the air. Blair ignored everyone else and directly carried her. While walking outside, he said overbearingly, “If you don’t want to hear it now, let’s go home and talk!” “Blair, let go of me!” Mable was furious. However, she could not do much as she was wearing a gown. Many people were watching, but he carried her just like that. What would they think? He might not care about his image, but she did. “Blair, don’t think I don’t dare make a move on yo
Mable thought, ‘I can’t lose it again.’ Before long, she arrived at her apartment building. Before she got out of the car, she looked in the rearview mirror. Blair’s car was parked on the opposite side of the road. Though, he did not seem to want to get out. That saved Mable the trouble. After thanking Howard, Mable went upstairs. Her phone rang as soon as she entered her place. It was Rahman who called. Mable accepted, but before she could say anything, Rahman shouted, “Mabes, are you serious?! How could you auction Jarius? Are you nuts?!” ‘Isn’t he abroad? Why is he so well-informed?’ Mable frowned. “How did you know?” She asked while looking at the jade pendant in her hand. Jarius was its name. No one would have thought that it was Secret’s token. “I saw a picture posted by a guy from Richworth on social media. He said there was a charity dinner in Richworth…” Mable poured herself a glass of water and said indifferently, “Don’t worry. I bought it back.”
Blair wanted to go upstairs to find Mable. However, he was in a terrible mood at the moment and was on the verge of raging. Since Mable was also mad, they would definitely argue if he were to find her. He was afraid he would not be able to control his emotions and hurt her. Blair took a deep breath. His aura was cold and was surrounded by negative emotions. He had never been so conflicted before. He had a mad desire to get close to Mable but was never able to. “Head back to the company!” Blair said to the driver. Work might be able to distract him and relax his emotions. On the way back, Amos answered a call. After saying a few words, he hung up and looked at Blair. “Master Blair, the donated item was swapped by Anthony.” Blair pursed his lips tightly. A dark glint flashed across his eyes. “How did the jade pendant end up with him?” Amos was clueless too. Blair narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered something. After he and Mable got married, the two of them
The jade pendant had Mable’s name engraved on it. So, Anthony guessed it belonged to her. When he asked the servants, he learned that Mable had given it to Blair when they got married. Anthony wondered what Mable thought when she saw the wedding gift she gave Blair donated for auction. “Mable and Master Blair argued at the dinner. He forcefully carried her out of the hotel, but she got into Howard’s car in the end,” Robert continued.Anthony chuckled softly. “Interesting.” It was a pity he missed such a wonderful show. “Blair must’ve been mad when Mable got into Howard’s car.” Robert nodded. “For sure. I saw his face change.” “Ha.” Anthony smiled even brighter. He knew it was going to happen. He had long known Blair’s weak spot. So it was easy to deal with him. Now that everything was prepared, all that was left was the missing piece. Anthony looked outside the window and smiled. “Tomorrow’s weather will be great.” Robert could not understand why he was sudde
Mable gave Jacob a detailed checkup and found that his condition was much better than she expected. “You’re recovering well. It seems you’ve been disciplined with your rehab and acupressure massages. Keep it up, and you’ll be fully recovered in three months at most.” Jacob was finally relieved after hearing what she said. “That’s great!” Hannah looked at him as she blurted with excitement. Mrs. Murphy held Mable’s hands and said, “Thank you, Dr. Jefferson. “You too, Hannah. It has been hard on you during this time. You came to massage Jacob’s acupoints whenever you were free, so his speedy recovery is really thanks to you.” Hannah stole a glance at Jacob and smiled. “Aunt Debra, you’re too kind. I ought to do it for him.” The Murphies and the Thompsons were close neighbors. Mrs. Murphy watched Hannah grow up and knew she was interested in Jacob. So, she had been trying to set them up many times, but Jacob was simply slow and ignorant. Mrs. Murphy was dying of anxiety.
