Liliana pouted and blinked innocently at Jonathan as she said, “What? I am only getting help for the children in the rural mountains who would get hospitals and schools with this money.”


    “I believe you!” He chuckled.


    “You are only teasing me,” Liliana sniffled, making himugh louder.


    Vivian heard Jonathan’s chuckle while passing through. She knew he was in Box 1 with Liliana and she knew his voice.


    His happyughter made her feel like her heart was being ripped.


    Unaware of her sufferings, Liliana and Jonathan continued to banter as the auction went on. Liliana also bought a few relics that the Jacobsens, Mariana’s parents, had fancied but gave up when some collector raised the bid a lot higher.


    That made Jonathan wonder how rich she was.


    He recalled his wife’s letters and the divorce agreement where she had given him so much alimony.


    The wheels started turning in his head again. He forced himself to calm down and pay attention to the task at hand.


    Finally thest and the most anticipated item was put on disy.


    Rose felt like her heart dropped in the middle of the ocean.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Romeo looked at her mockingly and took her nervousness as her excitement at getting her hands on arge sum of money.


    Lester stared at the ne for a long time. It was dazzling.


    But his curiosity was aroused by the fact that it seemed familiar. He had never thought of Anne Petrova all these years, but seeing this ne reminded him of her gentle and beautiful face.


    But with that memory, he also remembered her inborn nobility which had made him feel less. He was a man, it was not his wife’s job to hide herself to make him shine.


    He had always hated Anne’s generosity and taken it to mean that she also thought he was inferior.


    Poor Anne only wanted her husband who liked being the center of attention to get what he wanted and did not want to be a hindrance.


    But Lester hadbeled her maniptive and given her colorful names for that.


    He never epted her, no matter how she behaved. If she was being her natural self, he felt small, if she moved to the side-lines, he felt he was being mocked.


    Seeing this ne, although he did not recognize it, all those bitter feelings came back to him.


    Consumed by his own emotions, he didn’t notice Rose’s uneasiness.


    The Petrovas had always been low-key. They followed traditions without letting anyone know what it meant.


    The ne was put on disy. All the bigwigs of the city immediately realized that showing a Petrova heirloom in such a conspicuous way meant only one thing – the Petrova heir was back to take his/her ce and with a partner to boot.


    Jonathan felt the change in the air and could sense there was a deeper meaning to what they were doingter.
