Chapter 227
The appearance of the emerald and diamond ne instantly ignited the room!
Anyone with eyes could tell from the purity of the diamonds to the craftsmanship of the cut, it was top
tier. Its value could reach several million dors!
To bring such a treasured piece of jewelry to a charity auction, the Chambers Group was indeed
showing off their extravagance!
At that moment, a dazzling spotlight shone on Avery’s upright and handsome figure
Curous gazes followed, and upon seeing the man’s handsome face, they couldn’t help but admiral
Yet Avery’s eyesfied with hidden charm, were brazenly fixed on Evadne’s direction, as if the only
person he could see in his field of vision was her Only her
“This man is so handsome! His face is wless, just like a perfect marble statue Who is he?”

“He must be the young master of the Chambers Group, right? How else could he afford such an
expensive piece of jewelry?
“The young master of the Chambers Group? I’ve never seen him before
“Does he have a thing with Ms Evadne?”
“So what if they’re an item? Ms. Evadne is a beauty in her own right, a match for this young man.
They’re like a perfect lid for a perfect pot!
The murmurs and whispers buzzed like mosquitoes in Thaddeus ear.
A perfect lid for a perfect pot. What kind of ridiculous analogy was that?
Avery’s pale beardless face and those eyes could only remind him of the treacherous characters from
history!
“The emerald and diamond ne, starting at two hundred thousand dors let the bidding begin!”
As soon as the auctioneer’s words fell guests began to raise their paddles.
“Three hundred thousand dors!”.
Tour hundred thousand dors!”
Tour and a half hundred thousand dors!”
Tive hundred thousand dors!
The atmosphere was heated, thepetition fiercel
Intaly, Evadne had been feeling a bit queasy
But seeing the first item being bid up to five hundred thousand dors in a blink, she instantly felt better.
Her back didn’t ache anymore, her stomach didn’t feel sick anymore! Money was the best medicine,
after all
Elspeth and her daughter Glynnis, on the other hand, wore heavy expressions of resentment, asid they
were in hell.
They hade to watch Evadne make a fool of herself, but they didn’t expect the auction to be so
sessful fight from the start. Their previous attempts to smear Evadne now seemed like a tickle, how
uninteresting!
Mom! Avery is here on behalf of the Chambers Group to support that batch and he even donated such
a precious piece of jewelry He’s really burning money for her!” Glynnis, watching Evadne chatting with
tris, spoke with resentment
Elspeth sneered. “Are you jealous?”
“How can I not be jealous?”
Glynnis fiddled with her dress, looking very upset, “From childhood to now, apart from my dad, no man
has ever been so attentive and spoiled me. Not only does Evadne’s brothers pamper her, but even Mr.
Jareth and this Avery have be her knights in shining armor. Even Thaddeus nas cold to her as he
used to be I don’t understand what’s so great about her that all the men keep circling around her. With
her always suppressing me. I wake up every morning feeling grey!”
She dreamed of living Evadne’s life, with suitors ining up outside, brothers who would do anything for
her at home.
But what did she have?
All she had was a stupid unlucky little sister!
“Stop sulking You’re my daughter, Elspeth’s daughter. Why do you always belittle yourself? You’re
bing a real wet nket!” Elspeth, irritated, gave her daughter a pinch on the thigh The pain made
Glynnis shriek, attracting the attention of those around them.
“Jareth is my future son-inw. Your marriage to him is a done deal. No one can ruin my n unless
they’re tired of living!”
Elspeth red at Exadne, sneering quietly. “As for this Mr. Avery, you don’t need to worry about him. It
would be best if Evadne messes around with that good for nothing, cutting off Thaddeus thoughts
about her and not messing up our ns. It’s a win-win situation!”
“But Mom, he’s the legitimate young master of the Chambers family. His mother is Mr. Jeff’s wife. If
Evadne really gets together with him, wont that give her more power?” Glynnis asked, looking confused
“More power? I think it’s more like digging her own grave”
Elspeth crossed her argis, “Avery is the son Mr. Jeff looks down upon the most, and his mother isn’t
well-liked either. His mother and him have been neglected abroad for years. Despite his title as the
young master of the Chambers family, he’s actually penniless. He neither owns shares in the
Chambers Group nor holds any position in the corporation. It would be great if such a useless second
generation rich kid gets together with Evadne.”
She smirked, her mind filled with cunning plots, I really hope they can make it official, so that Evadne
will be stuck with this trouble for ife”
At this point the emerald ne had been bid up to six million.
Everyone stopped bidding.
Evadne was overjoyed, very satisfied with this auspicious start
“Seven hundred thousand dors”
A calm maic voice, golden and sonorous, suddenly came from behind.
Evadnes breath hitched, and the smile on her face vanished in an instant.
Everyone gasped in surprise.
In thest row, Thaddeus was holding up his paddle high, his face cold, and his movements filled with
confidence
its My Thaddeus from the Abernathy Group!”
When did he arrive? He’s so mysterious!”
Hex low key but extravagant!*
Thaddeus paddle remained aloft his eyes fixed on Evadne too deep to be plucked away Vet, she didn’t
even turn her head to look back?
Seven hundred thousand dors, and he couldn’t even get a nce from Ms. Ashbourne,
It seemed, he had to spend more!
“Seven hundred thousand dors for this ne seems a bit overpriced. Money shouldn’t be spent
like this Iris wasn’t too fond of this behavior and shook her head in disapproval
“More of these hypocrites, and children in impoverished regions might stand a better chance “Evadne
muttered under her breath, her red lips curled into a sneer. In her mind, she had already cursed
Thaddeus, the unfaithful man, into oblivion.
“Congrattions to Mr. Thaddeus from the Abernathy Group! Thank you for your support to the
charitable causert
The auctioneer brought down his gavel, and the room erupted into apuse.
When the camera turned towards Thaddeus, he barely lifted his thin lips, offering a half hearted smile
in risponse.
Not far from him, Avery adjusted his sses, his eyes cold as ice
The auction continued smoothly.
The jewelry that was donated was sold at high prices, even Elspeth symbolically bid on one of the
items.
But what really got under Evadne’s skin was Thaddeus intentional act of bidding high on the pieces
nobody else wanted
In just an hour, he had already bought three pieces of jewelry, spending over three million!
Evadne was fuming, wishing she could throw this despicable man out of the mom!
Then, another piece of jewelry that didn’t worth much was bought by Thaddeus, and whispers began to
circte
Ts that piece really worth four hundred thousand dors? Does Mr. Thaddeusck a discerning eye?”
He’s handsome and rich. If he’s a bit foolish, let it be. Nobody’s perfect
“Bullshit! Haven’t you noticed? Mr. Thaddeus buys all the worthless pieces. Even if he were blindly
bidding, he couldn’t possibly avoid all the valuable ones. It’s clear he’s doing this on purpose One keen
observer pointed out
Everyone gasped, indeed! So, you’re saying?”
“Mr. Thaddeus is buying these cheap pieces to help Ms. Evadne and add value to her auction. He is
throwing money for his love
Edith watched with wide eyes as Thaddeus, the man she had been pining for, was bending over
backward to please Evadne She was so angry her eyes were bloodshot
What she had been yearning for, Thaddeus presented it to Evadne on a silver tter, only to be
ignored. The stark contrast made her feel utterly humiliated
Everyone nodded in agreement
Thaddeus faintly heard the gossip and his thin lips curled into a smirk.
It seemed there were still some people who understood his actions
Unfortunately, Evadne hadnt so much as nced back at him from the beginning.
The man’s smirk faded
“Boring Avery snorted, his disdain for Thaddeus’ actions clear
Throwing money around, did he think Evadne was one of those shallow gold diggers?
“Up next, allow me to introduce our next item!”
The auctioneer’s voice rang out clear and loud, as he dramatically unveiled the piece under a red cloth
What appeared was an exquisitely cut, teardrop shaped white diamond ne, with hundreds of
small blue diamonds surrounding it. It was breathtakingly beautiful!
“This piece was generously donated by Miss Ada, and was personally designed by the world ss
jeweler, Miss Aleal We thank Miss Ada for her generous donation!”
The moment the ne appeared on stage, Glynnis face turned ashen. She spring to her feet in
shock!
At the same time Edith’s expression gradually froze, her fingers intertwined tightly, turning redt
