My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 944

Chapter 944 Return It To Me

It was an eye-opening moment for everyone at the auction. It's so unlike Mr. Yates to be this agitated. This is definitely not an ordinary piece of jade.

“Why are we not fit to have it? It belongs to my dad. He kept it for more than twenty years. How could you take it away just like that? Ryan, you're no different from a bully!” Sisley bellowed furiously.

“Shut up!” Suddenly, a frail voice of an elder sounded.

Everyone looked toward the door at once and saw Bob walking toward the auction stage supported by his butler.

Hera's expression changed drastically when she saw her grandfather.

“Grandpa...”

She had barely taken a few steps forward when a loud slap rang out across the auction hall.

Bob had slapped Hera across her face. Disoriented by the sudden impact of the slap, Hera staggered a few steps backward. A trace of blood could be seen in the corner of her mouth.

That was one of the most humiliating moments of the woman's life. Looking extremely miserable, Hera covered her face with one hand and said, “Grandpa... You...”

Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she gazed at Bob tearfully.

All she could feel was a hot, searing pain on her cheek. Having been slapped by her grandfather in front of so many wealthy and influential individuals, Hera desperately wished for the ground to swallow her up.

Sisley immediately stepped forward to support her daughter to prevent her from falling. Simmering with anger, she looked at Bob and said, “Dad, we can talk this out. Why did you hit her?”

“It's all because you didn't teach your daughter well!” Bob roared furiously. “This piece of red jade was Alice's most prized possession. She had always carried it with her. I have been taking great care of it and planned to give it to Ashlyn after I pass away. How dare the two of you steal it and even sell it! How can you still be so self-righteous after committing such an act? The two of you are a disgrace to the Chapman family. From now onward, you are no longer a part of our family!”
