Chapter 42
In an instant, Grace turned pale as if she had been struck by lightning! Willow was also shocked. All the blood vessels in her body seemed to freeze!
“Mom! What happened?”
“Didn’t you sell this necklace? Why did it appear in the auction” Grace asked, her forehead covered in cold sweat.
“I, I did sell it. It’s impossible!” Willow muttered in shock.
“What should I do now? Brother Joseph is sitting below the stage. Now that he saw that the things he gave me were taken up and sold, what should he think of me? He will definitely be angry with me!” Grace filled her chest with resentment and was about to cry.
“It’s okay! There can’t be only one necklace in the world. Maybe it is exactly the same…”
“There is only one in the world! The auctioneer just introduced it to me. It is the one that Brother Joseph gave me! How can you lie to him like this?”
The mother–daughter pair’s mind was filled with comments.
Grace was thinking about how to explain it to Joseph.
Willow was wondering why this necklace that she had sold to the pawn shop would appear here. It was also donated in the name of KS Group.
Suddenly, she sat up abruptly. This inappropriate action attracted the disdainful looks of the surrounding people.
Could it be that the pawn shop was also Thorp family’s property?
There were so many treasures flowing into the pawn shop every day, but Thorp Group chose such an unremarkable necklace and donated it to a charity auction. How could there be such a coincidence in this world!
Willow’s mind was buzzing, and her eyes became more and more fierce as she stared at Chloe’s beautiful back.
It must be that bitch!
Only she might know that “Heart of Crimson Flame” was a token of love that Joseph had given to Grace, so she couldn’t love it. With resentment in her heart, she used Thorp Group to deliberately donate this necklace to the public so that she could drive a wedge, revenge, and disgust them

in this way!
On the other side.
Joseph’s handsome face was already as cold as snow.
His chest, which was hidden under the suit, rose and fell, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
“Joseph? Are, are you okay?” Vincent was frightened by his abnormal appearance, but he was confused.
“Heart of Crimson Flame!” From the design to the selection of materials, to the self–condescension to find a designer to personally carve them, every step was a painstaking effort.
This was the first time in his life that he, Joseph, had fallen in love with a
Woman.
But now, his sincere love had been openly announced on the stage. This was no less than stripping him naked and nailing him to the pillar of shame. In front of everyone, he would be executed!
“KS Group donated. It meant that this ‘Heart of Crimson Flame‘ is a love token given to his lover by a man. It had an extraordinary significance.”
“Sincerity love couldn’t be marked, so this item was put on display at the end because of its special way of bidding.”
“In the end, we followed the proposal of the KS party. This necklace will be auctioned without any reserve price!”
Grace collapsed on the chair, her vision pitch–black.
Everyone’s interest was ignited in an instant, and the scene was even more lively than when they were bidding on the rosewood chair!
Joseph couldn’t bear it any longer, and his eyes were red as if they were weeping blood. He tightly clenched his teeth and spat out two words.
“Stop.”
“What?”
“Stop the auction immediately. This item is mine!”
Vincent was shocked and his mouth opened wide.
At this time, Joseph noticed that Oscar’s position was empty, and Raya had disappeared at some point in time.
The man clenched his fist tightly and smashed it into the support hand. The dangerous aura emanating from his body caused Vincent to be

terrified.
‘Raya, what a good method!‘
‘Are you satisfied with humiliating me to this point?’
A good show was about to start, but Chloe did not have the mood to appreciate it and left early.
She washed her hands and sighed faintly in the mirror.
In the past, Chloe was ignorant of the world and had a smooth and naive background. She had always been doted on by Thorp family and never used these methods.
But now that she was Sawle family’s daughter–in–law and had left Joseph, how could her mind be filled with schemes and plots?
She remembered that when “Heart of Crimson Flame” was taken up to the stage, the light in Joseph’s eyes was broken. At that moment, she felt that she had played too much.
In fact, she could pretend that she did not see that necklace. There was no need to put it in the auction to humiliate Joseph in public and make a scene like this.
But she was not reconciled.
It was not that she was unwilling to divorce Joseph. The love she had pursued for thirteen years had died, and she had already resigned herself
to her fate.
She was just unwilling. Joseph had been intelligent all his life, so why could he not see through the fact that he loved someone who was not a good person?
“Mind your own business. I definitely won’t do this next time.”
The tip of Chloe’s heart was filled with dense pain, and she laughed. bitterly.
This was the last time. In the future, she would no longer involve herself in the rotten matters between Joseph and Grace.
Suddenly, the bathroom door was kicked open, making a loud noise.
Chloe was calm and gave a cold glance.
She saw Grace holding her cumbersome skirt and angrily rushing to her front.
“Raya! You b*tch!”
“You’ve been scolding me for more than three years. your vocabulary so lacking?” Chloe raised her eyebrows coldly, not angry at all.
“It must be you! You were the one who took the necklace that Brother Joseph gave me to the auction! Why are you so contemptible and unscrupulous?”
Grace took another step forward. As a result, she stepped on her skirt and almost fell down. The momentum of revenge was reduced by more than half. She was embarrassed and her face was as red as a female monkey’s buttocks.
“I am doing charity donations honestly. What methods do I use? Miss Brown, you are not in the mood to slander me.”
Chloe took a step back, afraid that she would pounce on her and bite her.
It was so troublesome, and she had to get a rabies vaccination.
“Raya! You can’t get Brother Joseph’s love, so you use this kind of
despicable method to humiliate me and Brother Joseph, sowing discord between us!”
“Do you think you can win just like that? Do you think you can intervene between Brother Joseph and me so that Brother Joseph will fall in love with you? Dream on!”
