Chapter 82 - Cat on hot bricks

Rose had been feeling like a cat on hot bricks since she found out the necklace belonging to Anne Petrova, which was supposed to be safely hidden by Romeo or discreetly sold, was being auctioned in a high-profile manner.She could not tell anyone why she was so agitated though Lester and the maids had realized something was off. She simply blamed the weather and mood swings.Rose had spent quite a sum of money to find out who had placed it in an auction, but she did not find anything. She had only come to know someone had done it anonymously.Finally, the day of the auction came.Everyone of some importance was seated in the largest auction house in P city, which had been the talk of the town for months. The organizers had spent over six months planning the auction. Every minor detail had been examined by a committee and approved by the head of the auction house.A committee of distinguished members examined every single auction item for authenticity. The management team vetoed each g

Chapter 83 - The bait and the fish 1

The auction started, and Liliana and Jonathan put their bets on a few items.Jonathan bought a set of vintage model cars for the twins and Kyle.Liliana bought a pair of vintage lamps made in the 17th century from gold, diamond, pearls, and crystals.The Aprices bid for a few items but most of the things in the auction were too expensive for them.But they still had to purchase something to show off.They started to bid for a small ring made of gold and jade. It was a beautiful ring, though not an antique, so it did not catch Liliana’s fancy.“Table number 13 says 200 thousand dollars.” The host announced, “Anyone else?”“We see the window open again. Three hundred thousand dollars from Box 1!” The host announced.“And Table 7 says - 500 thousand dollars.”“Table 13 - 600 thousand dollars.”“Table 2 - 700 thousand dollars.”“Table 13 - 800 thousand dollars.”“Box 1 - 900 thousand dollars.”“Table 13 - 1 Million dollars.”“Box 1 - 1.5 Million dollars.”Lester hesitated, but then he saw

Chapter 84 - The bait and the fish 2

Liliana pouted and blinked innocently at Jonathan as she said, “What? I am only getting help for the children in the rural mountains who would get hospitals and schools with this money.”“I believe you!” He chuckled.“You are only teasing me,” Liliana sniffled, making him laugh louder.Vivian heard Jonathan’s chuckle while passing through. She knew he was in Box 1 with Liliana, and she knew his voice.His happy laughter made her feel like someone had ripped her heart out.Unaware of her sufferings, Liliana and Jonathan continued to banter as the auction continued. Liliana also bought a few relics that the Jacobsens, Mariana’s parents, had fancied but gave up when some collector raised the bid much higher. That made Jonathan wonder how rich she was.He recalled his wife’s letters and the divorce agreement where she had given him so much alimony.The wheels started turning in his head again. He forced himself to calm down and pay attention to the task ahead.They had come to the auctio

Chapter 85 - The final item

Jonathan looked at Liliana, but she just stared at her necklace with determined eyes and a distant smile. She looked regal and untouchable.He looked around and saw the notable people looking at their boxes to catch sight of someone. Liliana! He immediately realized that they were trying to get a glimpse of her.Vivian could tell something was about to happen. She did not care about the auction or any other people there.She had come there knowing Jonathan would be there. But how everyone kept looking at Box 1 made her nervous - like something was going to happen. Something she was sure would not be in her favor.Rose and Lester, however, were immersed in their worlds. They would not have understood the significance of the necklace anyway.But even they could tell something was off as the host did not explain anything about the necklace. He very subserviently bowed at it and said let’s begin. His whole demeanor had changed, and he was utterly focused.Yet, he didn’t even announce th

Chapter 86 - On the stage!!

Another unexpected thing happened in the auction.Usually, after a bid, a staff member would go to them privately and ask them to pay.But the host called Jonathan on the stage.“See you up there!” Jonathan told Liliana as he made his way to the grand stage.All lights were on him as he paid for the necklace in front of everyone.The owner of the auction house and the main organizer had come to greet Jonathan on the stage. The auction house was well aware of their patron.They would have to pay their respect even if Jonathan did not know the truth.“Wow! I did not think we would be so privileged to see your cheque. Thank you, President Smith!”The organizer joked in a carefree banter - Jonathan suspected it was an intended relay of information.“The pleasure is mine! This affair is personal. It has nothing to do with Smith Group.” He said firmly, despite his suspicions.“May we ask?” The owner of the auction house said cautiously.Jonathan smiled, “This is a gift for someone I admire.

Chapter 87 - The Why

This time Jonathan did not hesitate.He went inside and asked the butler to inform his grandmother while he waited in the garden.Emma Miller-Smith, his grandmother, showed up looking very much fit at the age of 84.“To what do I owe this pleasure?” She said sarcastically.“I want to ask you something,” He replied just as coldly.“And I am expected to answer because?” she snickered.“I am getting a vasectomy tomorrow,” he answered calmly.Jonathan knew that was what mattered the most to her. After all, his very existence was the proof.“Don’t you dare!” As expected, she exclaimed.“Watch me!” He threatened.“What do you want to know?” She conceded.“The truth or for every lie I uncover later - I will donate 10% of the Smith Group shares in my hand to charity.” He answered.“You bastard!” She cried.“I am not. You made sure of that.” He said mockingly. “It’s about my wife.”“What about her? She died seven years ago.” She huffed.“Why did you force me to marry her?” He asked, hiding the

Chapter 88 - What happened to her?

“What’s that supposed to mean?”Jonathan asked curiously.If Lester had raised his son as a Petrova heir and changed the will, he was likely to succeed unless Liliana had enough proof to overthrow him. It was not unheard of in their class.His grandmother’s words stunned him.“Petrovas announce their heir publicly without actually specifying what it entails. It's been a tradition since they were Kings. Leon announced your wife as his heir at her 5th birthday party.” Emma Miller-Smith informed a clueless Jonathan.Jonathan's suspicion deepened.'They want what belongs to me.' Those were Liliana's words. No wonder she was furious.“I guess Lester and his mistress are too dumb to understand that all the Petrova property and resources belonged to your wife since she was 5. She could have claimed it all, including everything the Aprices are currently enjoying, on her 18th birthday. Even if Lester’s son is Anne’s, he does not get anything unless your wife wants to share.”Emma continued - h

Chapter 89 - The Bride’s Price

Jonathan was stunned, "You sent someone to follow her."She was unaffected, "So what?"Jonathan sighed, “What was the issue with the bride price?”Emma cocked her brows, “Lester tried to change the engagement from Anne’s girl to his stepdaughter. The audacity to humiliate the Smiths with a mistress's filth!”She sneered, “I refused, of course! Then - to scorn us - he said she demanded a hotel, a golf club, and a winery. We agreed but transferred them to your wife’s name instead of his.”Jonathan was surprised. No wonder she was drugged and framed to be violated on their wedding night.Emma continued when she couldn’t see any expression on Jonathan’s face.“Lester tried to get us to change it in a roundabout way. His mistress-wife directly asked to give those to her brood. The nerve of them to make such demands!”Emma became angry at the thought of them.“When I refused, the mistress demanded a 500 million cash gift. I reduced it to 100 million. Your wife returned it three days after y
