After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 69

It seemed like the jewelry was going to be either of them.

Franklin was surprised to see that well-reserved set. And he wanted it too as he thought that Master Keturah was a big fan of such things.

Meanwhile, what Mrs. Wright had said came to his mind, "Give the people what they want."

And for sure, he would have to bring a decent gift when he came to visit Master Keturah.

He just didn't expect Sylvia liked it too.

He looked at that set with a reluctant look in his eyes for a while. "Well, just let her have it."

The dining room was silent as no other bid was made.

Sylvia beckoned to Logan, "Go pay for it."

Logan soon rose from his seat with a credit card, while Paul got up faster than him. "I get it! I get it!"

The emcee said to the two respectfully, "There is no need to pay for it anymore, sirs. It's been paid by Mr. Maskelyne."

Both Logan and Paul were shocked.

Clark looked at Franklin carelessly, with a vicious smile on his sinister face. "I wonder what Mr. Maskelyne's lot is."

Franklin glanced at Sylvia from the corner of his eye and said in a dry voice, "Just some bauble that my wife doesn't like. I think it can be used for charity."

He was still upset as he remembered how Sylvia had tossed on the table his well-selected present for her when he had returned to the Townyer Villa.

Something that Mrs. Maskelyne didn't like?

What could it be?

Everyone's curiosity was instantly aroused.

When a lady came out with a red velvet box, a diamond necklace of at least six carats shone gorgeously under the limelight.

Everyone gave an exclamation of surprise!

Mrs. Maskelyne didn't want a diamond as huge as that?!

Then what did she like?

No woman could resist a diamond!

A tinge of desire flashed across Tiffany's eyes. Ever since they had met, the only thing Franklin had ever given her was a bunch of flowers, although there were 999 flowers in it, it was nothing compared to that diamond...

She felt tortured, wondering what on earth that legendary Mrs. Maskelyne was like.

There really had been no love between them during their four years of marriage?

Tiffany had been certain that she was special to Franklin and believed that Franklin would divorce his wife.

But at that moment...

Why was she feeling so insecure?

Why was she feeling uneasy?

There was Mrs. Maskelyne, and then Sylvia.

God knew how jealous she was when she heard Franklin pay 20 million dollars for that set of jewelry for Sylvia.

She just didn't understand. That woman was just frivolous eye candy.

Couldn't Franklin see it? That woman was fooling around with Logan and Paul.

Tiffany was furious!

At the same time, Paul was also pondering. Wasn't Sylvia Franklin's wife? If she was, why wouldn't she be together with Franklin? If not, then why would she have taken James away from Kennedy's Villa?

He was confused.

But he didn't think an elite like Logan would have wooed a married woman.

So, Sylvia couldn't be Mrs. Maskelyne!

The emcee continued with the auction and coincidentally enough, or purposely, the starting price was five hundred thousand dollars.

What had been tossed away by Mrs. Maskelyne was worth Tiffany's proud painting...

Tiffany seemed to feel some mocking stares from the people around her.

The corners of her mouth were twitching with fury.

Just when people were hesitating over their bid, Sylvia made hers, "One million dollars."

Sylvia glimpsed at him with a smile on her rosy cheeks. "No one dislikes diamond."

'Then why didn't you take it away?'

Franklin gritted his teeth.

Did that mean that she didn't like it to be given by him?

The more Franklin thought about it, the more his anger built up.

So was she implying that she didn't like him?

Then why did she get married to him if she didn't like him?

Franklin gritted his teeth so hard as if to break them.

Flames of fury were raging inside him. He wished he could just snatch the woman away and confined her, regardless of all the possible consequences, so that she would not have had any chance to mock him.

With Sylvia's involvement and the effort of Franklin's toadies, the diamond necklace was inflated to nine million dollars soon after.

Eventually, the necklace belonged to a rich businessman who was looking to cooperate with Maskelyne Group.

Franklin stuffed the check into Sylvia's hand. "Donate it to Keturah foundation, and I wonder if it can be exchanged for a meeting with her?"

Sylvia gave the check a careless flick. "What for?"

"I need a favor from her," Franklin said in a dull voice.

"Since I've got your money, it would make me look bad if said no. I will schedule it for you." With that, Sylvia put away the check.

More money was always better.

Everyone watched the two enviously.
