Chapter 518

That was the reason Clare had to buy it?

When she heard Isaac's words, Skyla snapped out of her shock, her

face froze, and she stared incredulously at the ruby, which was crystal

clear in the light.

Her face was white inch by inch and her heart was pounding.

No ... No, how could that ruby be the property of Hipps family? It

belonged to the young lady of Hipps family? How was that possible?

No ... Impossible!

Isaac must have been wrong.

Tammy was also stunned that her mother didn't know about the ruby.

What did that mean? Did it mean that her mother was not the young

lady of Hipps family?

A terrible thought crept into her mind.

Could ... her mother be an impostor?

That meant that her mother was not the young lady of Hipps family?

No, definitely not.

Tammy looked at Skyla with a pale face, biting her lower lip.

Everyone in the room was staring at Clare, trying to get the truth out of

him, to know where the ruby came from.

Tiffany never thought that a ruby would be auctioned for $20 million.

What was the secret on Monica?

Mr. Carr said that the ruby was a ruby that only the Hipps family

deserved to have ...

But Monica was clearly one of the Evans family.

This ...

Tiffany stood on the auction stage with her head in a tizzy.

Her mind went blank, almost forgetting exactly where she was and

what she was doing.

She didn't come to life until Neve rushed up to the stage, grabbed the

ruby and said with a pale face, "We're not auctioning off this ruby."

Clare frowned and stared at her closely, "All the lots are signed on, and

you regret auctioning it now?"

“It's not for sale. She stole this ruby from her grandfather for fun, and it

cannot be sold ..."

Neve grasped the ruby in his hand, his face looking terrible.

"Mr. Hipps, this ruby means everything to the old Evans... You can't buy

it. You can't buy it."

“The rules of the auction are not up to you Evans family.” Clare reached

out and grabbed the ruby from Neve's hand, then stared fixedly at her,

"Calling once; Calling twice; Sold!"

"No one offers a higher price. It's mine.” A hint of dominance surfaced

on Clare's ever gentle face as he held the ruby in his palm, and before

he could survey the ruby, Neve lunged towards him, trying to snatch it

again.

Clare stepped back and dodged her.

Neve lunged, her eyes red, "It doesn't matter if it belonged to your

Hipps family or not before, but now it belongs to the Evans family. Mr.

Hipps, please return it."

Clare swept her up with a mocking glance, took out a bank card

directly, and swiped it to pay the ruby.

Neve and Tiffany just watched him spend $20 million!

"Now that I've paid for it, it's mine!" Clare smiled coldly, "I just want to

know now why this ruby ended up in your Evans family. Think you

deserve it?"

The Hipps family had always done things in a low-profile manner, and

this was the first time that Clare, as the heir, had humiliated another

family so emotionally in public.

Instantly everyone felt it was an eye-opening experience. Master Clare

would also be so excited.

It seemed that this ruby really had an unusual origin.

"Why are our Evans not worthy of it? Clare, don't be too far."

Neve growled angrily.

"Shut up!"

Suddenly!

An old and frail voice rang out from the entrance of the auction hall.

Everyone could not help but look over towards the door, only to see the

old Evans wearing a gray suit and being helped by the housekeeper,

towards the auction stage.

Seeing the old Evans suddenly appear, Tiffany instantly went pale.

"Grandpa ..."

She just took two steps forward, ready to meet them.

The old Evans raised his hand and slapped her, causing her face to tilt

to the side.

A trace of blood seeped from the corner of her lips, Tiffany looking

wretched.

Tiffany reached up in humiliation and covered her face, "Grandpa ...

You..."

She looked at the old Evans with tears in her eyes and an incredible

glint in her eyes.

She only felt a hot pain in her face. She was slapped by the old Evans

in front of so many bigwigs. She really wished the floor would open up

and swallow her.

As soon as Neve saw her daughter being beaten, she anxiously held

Tiffany who was trembling, then looked angrily at the old Evans, "Dad,

let's talk properly. How can you hit Tiffany?"

"Look what a good daughter you've raised!" the old Evans yelled in

anger, "This ruby is Monica's personal belongings. I have been

carefully treasured it. I thought that I would return it to Sylvia after my

death. How dare you steal this ruby and put it up for auction!"

“You are so justified in stealing from others. How despicable you are! I

don't have children like you in the Evans family!"

The old Evans was so angry that his chest rose and fell, and he was so

furious that he could not wait to strangle Tiffany on the spot.

"Monica, the owner of this ruby is Monica?" Clare stared at the old

Evans in shock, "Is Monica the daughter of the Evans family that

amazed the whole Larro back then?"

Hearing this name, many of the bigwigs in the audience all widened

their eyes in shock.

The Evans family had a talented young daughter called Monica, who

was famous in Larro ... But then she disappeared, and then ... they

heard that she died.

Since then, the name Monica had never been mentioned in Larro.

Now she was suddenly mentioned. Some older could not help but

begin to reminisce, "Back then, Monica is stunningly perfect. She's not

only beautiful and elegant, but has a great talent in the piano, chess,

calligraphy and painting.”

"The entire building of Crown Techs Group was designed for us by Miss

Monica back then. The interior was also designed by Miss Monica. She

... is really a genius!"

Adriel couldn't help but sigh, it was a pity she was gone so young!

The Evans family was thriving thanks to Monica!

Only Sylvia sat silently in her seat, her calm face betrayed a touch of

pallor.

Her mother’s kind face came into her mind.

She sat there, but it was as if everything around her was far away from

her, her eyes and heart were occupied by her mother's face.

Suddenly, a warm hand took hold of her cold hand, and the man's

magnetic familiar voice rang out with concern, "Why is your hand so

cold?"

She woke up like a dream and took a deep breath, "It's nothing. I just

miss my mother a little.”

At this time, the old Evans looked at Clare with an apologetic face after

scolding Neve and Tiffany. “Mr. Hipps, this ruby is my youngest

daughter's relic. I hope you can return it to me."
