She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 239

“Next up, is our last item for today! I present to youuuuu -- Tear of the Ocean Queen!!!” The host’s sudden raise of voice pulls Scar over, and instantly she snaps out of the illusion of the dreamy family--

She’s here with a mission!

On the velvet in the display case left rear to the host, lies quietly Emma Vanderbilt’s necklace. Its deep blue stone glares a modest premium shine under the spotlight, caught perfectly by the telephoto lens before being projected onto the big screen behind the host.

Everyone gets to appreciate its beauty now.

Rumor is, Johnny Vanderbilt got it designed specially for the love of his life. A billionaire proposed to a nothing girl in New York’s luxurious revolving restaurant on the rooftop of the 48th floor, with the most expensive necklace ever made. Yes, Emma Vanderbilt was Emma Green, an ordinary girl who happened to enter the same school with him, and charmed over the billionaire. The story that enters every dream of girls longing for the perfect love.

That’s why Scar is Scar Green now.

Scar Green snorts coldly. The biggest lie of that story is in plain sight when instead of a name, it’s “for the love of his life”. Sebastian’s ring was for the love of his life, too. Does he even know who it’s for himself?

“How could they even list it?” Damian frowns, glaring at Ava and Jack Fuller. The item is listed under the name of Ava Knight, who apparently provided a string of files proving the origin of the necklace that passed the examine when everyone knows who it belongs to.

If in most auctions, the riches come shopping. This is not the case. They are here for this show, starred by Johnny Vanderbilt. The auction announced this item one week in advance, especially to give time for him to react. If anyone could have protested or stopped auctioning this item, it’s him.

He didn’t.

That’s why this auction got more attention than ever. If anyone can walk out of here with that piece, it’s under Johnny Vanderbilt’s silent approval. Another theory is that he allowed this to happen just to fish out whoever kept his necklace hidden for all these years.

Either way, a good show.

“I just want to make sure,” Scar glances at Damian, “...she...Mom, she didn’t sell it to anyone, right?”

Only Damian witnesses how much effort Scar puts in forcing that word out of her. To believe, though she never had any good experience with the word.
