The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 136

Well, there was definitely no reason for Nora to be in a bad mood.

Cassidy: 'Your husband just dropped hundreds of millions of dollars at this auction today.'

This year's autumn auction featured a total of one hundred and thirty-seven jewelry pieces, but the exclusive inner circle was only presented with fifteen top-tier lots, each valued in the tens of millions.

Maloney had single-handedly bought ten of them.

Nora: 'It's the end of the year. He probably has a lot of corporate gifting to do.'

Nora and Maloney had always kept their finances strictly separate.

Their marriage had originally been a strategic arrangement, so their assets were clearly divided. Even though their romance was now heating up, Nora never had any intention of managing his money.

She wasn't after his wealth.

Keeping things separate prevented unnecessary friction.

Cassidy: 'He's definitely bought them for you. Just wait and see.'

Nora: 'How do you know?'

Cassidy: 'Gut feeling.'

Nora: '...'

Why would he buy her millions in jewels for absolutely no reason?

Nora quickly brushed the thought aside.

After the auction concluded, the winning bidders were required to go backstage to sign the final purchase agreements.

And to inspect the items one last time.

Since Maloney was the highest-spending client of the night, a swarm of staff members escorted him to the back like royalty.

Cassidy, guided by another staff member, was also heading toward the backstage area.

Before they could even exit the main hall, Seraphina stormed forward, brushing past Cassidy to block Maloney's path.

"Maloney! You did that on purpose, didn't you?!"

Seraphina stood with her hands on her hips, neck flushed, cheeks puffed out in indignation. "That set of Pigeon Blood rubies was worth fifty million at most, and you bid eighty! Do you just have money to burn?!"

"Do you have any idea how important that jewelry was to me?! Mrs. Chandler in Havenport is obsessed with Pigeon Blood rubies, and I came here today specifically for that set!"
