Goodbye, My Love

No one made a higher offer. The entire hall was just silent. The auctioneer raised the gavel and looked at the audience.

“The ring is mine!” Marco declared. “Everything Loraine donated came from me.”

Rivals

All heads turned in the direction where the voice came from.

When the guests saw Marco sitting next to Loraine, they were shocked to the bones.

“Oh my God! Is that really Marco? Why is he sitting next to Loraine instead of in a private room?”

“He just said that the items Loraine donated came from him.”

“Something smells fishy. During their marriage, he barely took Loraine out. Only a few people knew about her. Why are they always seen together after their divorce?”

While a few of them were examining the relationship between those two, the wise ones realized something.

It didn’t matter who donated the items. The fact remained that Marco bought them with his money. It was obvious he mentioned that detail to change the narrative Vickie was propagating.

Anyone who purchased the ring would stand a chance to be in the books of the CEO of Bryant Group.

This fact piqued the interest of all those who had previously lost interest.

The unwanted emerald ring became a sought-after item in the blink of an eye. Several bids began to flow in.

“I’LL pay two hundred thousand dollars!”

“Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars!”

“Five hundred thousand dollars!”

The offers soon exceeded the actual price of the ring.

At the sight of this, Vickie was embarrassed and infuriated. Her face was as red as a tomato.

She wanted to put a stop to the bid, but she couldn’t dare to challenge

Marco openly. She held Curran’s arm and rubbed his chest so he could stand up for her.

“Honey, are you just going to watch them humiliate me in this manner? Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Stick up for me.”

Curran didn’t give a hoot about her bruised ego now. He was also looking to please Marco, so he give in to her request.
