“What!” Riana said, her gaze growing darker as she stared at the shopkeeper“How can you call this treasure? It does not hold any value. We don’t buy valueless objects”“How can you call this valueless? Do you know the original owner of this treasure chest? It’s the queen of England, Queen Victoria.” Jessica screamed.The man laughed.“How dare you belittle our dear Queen Victoria? She can’t possibly use this low-quality object. The original Treasure Chest was brought here a few days ago and we are preparing it for the AE auction." “Able Copper bought this chest for me. How can a man of such integrity lie about the value of this treasure?” Riana said.“We know Mr Copper as a man of integrity, but we also know Ms Meghan as a dubious woman. How can you say that this valueless object was given to you by Mr. Copper when your mother already sold the original Treasure Chest to us?” Jones said. He looked at Riana suspiciously.Riana staggered backward and slapped her back on the wall. Her

“Riana, I just got a job in the auction house. I don’t even know where valuables are kept “ Jessica said.“All I required from you is to let me in," “I hope you know what you are doing because the AE auction house is no place to mess around”“Just help me get in and I will take care of the rest.” Riana insisted.“If that’s the case, we need to depart immediately, Celina mentioned that the auction will start in twenty minutes. From experience, the most treasured valuables are sold last. If we hurry, we can get there just in time”“What are you waiting for? Let’s hurry?”Jessica and Riana left the pawnshop to seek Celina. When they came outside the shop, Celina had gone. They quickly got into their car and drove to the AE auction house.AE auction house belongs to Avery and Evanston.

“Without her significant contributions, this auction house wouldn’t be in existence. She is no other person but Ms Avery Clinton, my good friend and a brilliant partner,” Evanston said.The people roared and clapped their hands. Avery strode with confidence towards the stage. A smile spread across Evanston’s face as he welcomed Avery into his arms and planted a kiss on her cheek.Abel’s heart throbbed, and his vein bulged under his skin. His hand vibrated when Evanston’s lip touched Avery’s skin.“Why would he do that? How dare him touch my Avery?” He scowls.Avery looked gorgeous in her simple but classy dress. Her beautiful face stared in Abel’s direction and their eyes met for a split second before she looked away and took the microphone from Evanston. “We appreciate everyone’s presence at this auction event as we celebrate the launch of our new business. You won’t be let down as we have amazing treasures you will be happy to take home.”Avery was confident and charming, and Abe

Everyone gasps as they behold the beauty of the Chest. Abel knitted his brow. Immediately, he saw the Treasure Chest. Anger poured out of his soul. He held his breath for a long time without remembering to breathe.Is this what he got from Riana after he made so much effort to bring home the chest?Abel was snapped back to reality by the auctioneer. He explained the value of the box and its origin.“This is a Treasure Chest of Queen Victoria the 5th. The Queen of England with her image engraved and the name of the first person ever to buy the Chest out of the royal family, Abel Copper, well written inside, a gift he brought to his fiancee on her twentieth birthday. This Treasure Chest was brought to the AE auction house by the Valuable pawn shop. The Treasure Chest is worth more than a hundred million. The base price is one hundred fifty million”Abel’s anger boiled over, his hands shaking and his face empty and void of any emotion as he stared at the Treasure Chest.His mind went bac

“Three hundred million,” Avery said.The crowd roared. Riana clenched her fist and glared at Avery.As the crowd praised Avery, Riana’s hatred grew stronger.“Ms. Clinton is a true heiress; who else can bid this high if not her?” someone from the crowd said.“Honestly, no one can compete with the Clinton family”Abel knitted his brow. He bought the Chest one hundred million dollars three years ago, even though many thought he bought it five hundred million. How could Avery raise its price to three hundred million? Abel never thought she would be interested in the Treasure Chest.He clenched his chest when he realized how she wished him well and prayed that he return home with the Treasure Chest.Abel recalled the night he returned without the Treasure Chest. Avery was really sad and couldn’t eat anything, but he never regarded her feelings as significant, so he went to bed without even inquiring about the cause of her distress.Like always, Avery never mentioned the Chest again or co

Avery walked out on Abel and went looking for Evanston. But Evanston was nowhere to be found. When she asked one of his workers, he told Avery that Evanston had gone out in a hurry.Avery came out of the auction house and saw Matthew Evanston’s assistant coming out of his car and approached him.“Matthew, you are here. Where is Evanston? I have been looking for him.”“Mr Stone is in the hospital”“What happened to him? He was at the auction a few minutes ago. How did he end up in the hospital?”“Someone attacked Celina a few hours ago, and he was there with her ““What? Who attacked Celina? Where is she? Is she hurt?” Avery panicked; her heart skipped at hearing of the ugly news.Why could anyone attack Celina? She is such a sweet soul and can't hurt a fly.“We are yet to find the culprit. Unfortunately, Celina is unconscious and unable to tell us what happened.”“Please, I want to see her. Which hospital was she admitted to?”“Good Shepherd private hospital. She is in room 5”“I wil

Riana returned home exhausted. She slumped on the couch while she removed her shoes. Jessica heard her voice and came out.“I was worried when the alarm was raised. I wanted to call, but I was afraid it might implicate you.”“Is alright, I’m home now”“What happened to Celina? Did you hurt her? Why did she end up at Good Shepherd Hospital?” Jessica looked worried “It’s a minor thing, she will come around soon”“What if she didn’t? What if she died?”“Why would she die,? Come on, don’t panic, get me something to eat”“The police were investigating the matter and Evanston was determined to find the culprit. He suspected all the workers. He made sure we were questioned and investigated. Right now, two security men were sent to guard Celina’s ward. Riana, I’m scared”“Relax, don’t be scared. No one will find out what happened. I destroyed the camera when I entered the valuable room. Besides, I didn’t hurt her much”“I don’t think so. According to the doctor, she has a low shock absorber,

“Find out who killed Celina. The culprit should not go unpunished,” Evanston said, looking at Officer Ben. Ben was in charge of Celina's case. He just arrived at the hospital where the crime had taken place.Evanston was furiously looking at the two security men. His face was dark and his veins bulged under his suit.He rushed into the hospital as soon as he heard the news. Looking at the two security men who were supposed to guard Celina, his eyes turned red.“What kind of security men are you? How could you allow yourselves to be deceived despite your experience?”“Forgive us, Mr Stone. The doctor looked young and innocent. There is no way we could be suspicious,” the taller guard said.“Besides, she came with her medical equipment. How could we not trust her?” the second guard said.“Shut that your useless mouth, aren’t you shameless? What stopped one of you from being inside that room with her?” Evanston was boiling with rage.“We were told not to bother Ms Celina. So we thought

Chapter 100

Abel woke up late in the morning and strode to his study. He saw the majestic treasure chest on top of the table where he dropped it last night. He stared at the box for a while and opened it. He recalled being asked what he wanted to be written inside the chest by the royal designer. The first name that came into his mind was Nicole, however he didn’t come all the way to England to get a gift for his low life wife, but for Riana, still he couldn’t bring himself to inscribe Riana’s name in the golden chest so he wrote his name instead.Thinking of it now, Abel realized why he was skeptical about it. He ran his hands over the Treasure Chest and opened his drawer. Inside the drawer was the wedding gift Avery bought the day after their wedding. He took the rings and stared at his name beautifully engraved on the smaller one, which was meant for Avery and her name on the bigger ring that was meant for him.“I will not only wear your name on my finger, Avery, but will always wear it in m
