His Ex wife is a billionaire Chapter 227

Chapter 227

The appearance of the emerald and diamond n*ecklace instantly ignited the room!

Anyone with eyes could tell from the purity of the diamonds to the craftsmanship of the cut, it was top tier. Its value could reach several million dollars!

To bring such a treasured piece of jewelry to a charity auction, the Chambers Group was indeed showing off their extravagance!

At that moment, a dazzling spotlight shone on Avery’s upright and handsome figure

Curous gazes followed, and upon seeing the man’s handsome face, they couldn’t help but admiral

Yet Avery’s eyesfied with hidden charm, were brazenly fixed on Evadne’s direction, as if the only person he could see in his field of vision was her Only her

“This man is so handsome! His face is flawless, just like a perfect marble statue Who is he?”

“He must be the young master of the Chambers Group, right? How else could he afford such an expensive piece of jewelry?

“The young master of the Chambers Group? I’ve never seen him before

“Does he have a thing with Ms Evadne?”

“So what if they’re an item? Ms. Evadne is a beauty in her own right, a match for this young man. They’re like a perfect lid for a perfect pot!

The murmurs and whispers buzzed like mosquitoes in Thaddeus ear.

A perfect lid for a perfect pot. What kind of ridiculous analogy was that?

Avery’s pale beardless face and those eyes could only remind him of the treacherous characters from history!

“The emerald and diamond n*ecklace, starting at two hundred thousand dollars let the bidding begin!”

As soon as the auctioneer’s words fell guests began to raise their paddles.

“Three hundred thousand dollars!”.

Tour hundred thousand dollars!”

Tour and a half hundred thousand dollars!”

Tive hundred thousand dollars!

The atmosphere was heated, the competition fiercel

Intaly, Evadne had been feeling a bit queasy

But seeing the first item being bid up to five hundred thousand dollars in a blink, she instantly felt better. Her back didn’t ache anymore, her stomach didn’t feel sick anymore! Money was the best medicine, after all

Elspeth and her daughter Glynnis, on the other hand, wore heavy expressions of resentment, asid they were in hell.

They had come to watch Evadne make a fool of herself, but they didn’t expect the auction to be so successful fight from the start. Their previous attempts to smear Evadne now seemed like a tickle, how uninteresting!

Mom! Avery is here on behalf of the Chambers Group to support that batch and he even donated such a precious piece of jewelry He’s really burning money for her!” Glynnis, watching Evadne chatting with tris, spoke with resentment

Elspeth sneered. “Are you jealous?”

“How can I not be jealous?”

Glynnis fiddled with her dress, looking very upset, “From childhood to now, apart from my dad, no man has ever been so attentive and spoiled me. Not only does Evadne’s brothers pamper her, but even Mr. Jareth and this Avery have become her knights in shining armor. Even Thaddeus nas cold to her as he used to be I don’t understand what’s so great about her that all the men keep circling around her. With her always suppressing me. I wake up every morning feeling grey!”

She dreamed of living Evadne’s life, with suitors ining up outside, brothers who would do anything for her at home.

But what did she have?

All she had was a stupid unlucky little sister!

“Stop sulking You’re my daughter, Elspeth’s daughter. Why do you always belittle yourself? You’re becoming a real wet blanket!” Elspeth, irritated, gave her daughter a pinch on the thigh The pain made Glynnis shriek, attracting the attention of those around them.

“Jareth is my future son-in-law. Your marriage to him is a done deal. No one can ruin my plan unless they’re tired of living!”

Elspeth glared at Exadne, sneering quietly. “As for this Mr. Avery, you don’t need to worry about him. It would be best if Evadne messes around with that good for nothing, cutting off Thaddeus thoughts about her and not messing up our plans. It’s a win-win situation!”

“But Mom, he’s the legitimate young master of the Chambers family. His mother is Mr. Jeff’s wife. If Evadne really gets together with him, wont that give her more power?” Glynnis asked, looking confused

“More power? I think it’s more like digging her own grave”

Elspeth crossed her argis, “Avery is the son Mr. Jeff looks down upon the most, and his mother isn’t well-liked either. His mother and him have been neglected abroad for years. Despite his title as the young master of the Chambers family, he’s actually penniless. He neither owns shares in the Chambers Group nor holds any position in the corporation. It would be great if such a useless second generation rich kid gets together with Evadne.”

She smirked, her mind filled with cunning plots, I really hope they can make it official, so that Evadne will be stuck with this trouble for ife”

At this point the emerald n*ecklace had been bid up to six million.

Everyone stopped bidding.

Evadne was overjoyed, very satisfied with this auspicious start

“Seven hundred thousand dollars”

A calm magnetic voice, golden and sonorous, suddenly came from behind.

Evadnes breath hitched, and the smile on her face vanished in an instant.

Everyone gasped in surprise.

In the last row, Thaddeus was holding up his paddle high, his face cold, and his movements filled with confidence

its My Thaddeus from the Abernathy Group!”

When did he arrive? He’s so mysterious!”

Hex low key but extravagant!*

Thaddeus paddle remained aloft his eyes fixed on Evadne too deep to be plucked away Vet, she didn’t even turn her head to look back?

Seven hundred thousand dollars, and he couldn’t even get a glance from Ms. Ashbourne,

It seemed, he had to spend more!

“Seven hundred thousand dollars for this n*ecklace seems a bit overpriced. Money shouldn’t be spent like this Iris wasn’t too fond of this behavior and shook her head in disapproval

“More of these hypocrites, and children in impoverished regions might stand a better chance “Evadne muttered under her breath, her red l*ps curled into a sneer. In her mind, she had already cursed Thaddeus, the unfaithful man, into oblivion.

“Congratulations to Mr. Thaddeus from the Abernathy Group! Thank you for your support to the charitable causert

The auctioneer brought down his gavel, and the room erupted into applause.

When the camera turned towards Thaddeus, he barely lifted his thin l*ps, offering a half hearted smile in risponse.

Not far from him, Avery adjusted his glasses, his eyes cold as ice

The auction continued smoothly.

The jewelry that was donated was sold at high prices, even Elspeth symbolically bid on one of the items.

But what really got under Evadne’s skin was Thaddeus intentional act of bidding high on the pieces nob*dy else wanted

In just an hour, he had already bought three pieces of jewelry, spending over three million!

Evadne was fuming, wishing she could throw this despicable man out of the mom!

Then, another piece of jewelry that didn’t worth much was bought by Thaddeus, and whispers began to circulate

Ts that piece really worth four hundred thousand dollars? Does Mr. Thaddeus lack a discerning eye?”

He’s handsome and rich. If he’s a bit foolish, let it be. Nob*dy’s perfect

“Bullshit! Haven’t you noticed? Mr. Thaddeus buys all the worthless pieces. Even if he were blindly bidding, he couldn’t possibly avoid all the valuable ones. It’s clear he’s doing this on purpose One keen observer pointed out

Everyone gasped, indeed! So, you’re saying?”

“Mr. Thaddeus is buying these cheap pieces to help Ms. Evadne and add value to her auction. He is throwing money for his love

Edith watched with wide eyes as Thaddeus, the man she had been pining for, was bending over backward to please Evadne She was so angry her eyes were bloodshot

What she had been yearning for, Thaddeus presented it to Evadne on a silver platter, only to be ignored. The stark contrast made her feel utterly humiliated

Everyone nodded in agreement

Thaddeus faintly heard the gossip and his thin l*ps curled into a smirk.

It seemed there were still some people who understood his actions

Unfortunately, Evadne hadnt so much as glanced back at him from the beginning.

The man’s smirk faded

“Boring Avery snorted, his disdain for Thaddeus’ actions clear

Throwing money around, did he think Evadne was one of those shallow gold diggers?

“Up next, allow me to introduce our next item!”

The auctioneer’s voice rang out clear and loud, as he dramatically unveiled the piece under a red cloth

What appeared was an exquisitely cut, teardrop shaped white diamond n*ecklace, with hundreds of small blue diamonds surrounding it. It was breathtakingly beautiful!

“This piece was generously donated by Miss Ada, and was personally designed by the world class jeweler, Miss Aleal We thank Miss Ada for her generous donation!”

The moment the n*ecklace appeared on stage, Glynnis face turned ashen. She spring to her feet in shock!

At the same time Edith’s expression gradually froze, her fingers intertwined tightly, turning redt
