Thaddeus and Avery’s hearts skipped a beat, their eyes instinctively darting towards Evadne

Both of them had a soft spot for her and could instantly tell she was upset. So, they withdrew from the auction, hands raised in surrender The auctioneer, sensing the moment, didn’t wait for other reactions before making the final call, smoothly securing the necklace for Evadne After a moment of silence, the room erupted in applause

Despite the applause, Evadne remained stoic, her eyes calm and unexcited

Mony Evadne bought the fake necklace we put in! Does the know it’s a counterfeit Glynnis was in a panic, her heart pounding like a rabbit’s

“Shut your mouth! Do you want the whole world to hear?’ Elspeth hissed, her eyes filled with resentment. Tvadne certainly didn’t realize the jewelry is fake She didnt expect to encounter a countered in her own auction. She just donated a million dollars to your good causal

Glynnis remained uneasy. “What if she finds out?”

“Once the auction item leaves here, it has nothing to do with you! Who knows if it was switched or she’s deliberately trying to smear you” Elspeth whispered maliciously

Seeing the necklace she had donated being bought by Evadne for a high price, Ads couldn’t suppress a satisfied smirk.

She even thought that Evadne might still harbor some illusions about cooperating with her, otherwise, there was no reason to go this far

At this moment, Evadne’s young and spirited eyes darkened. She sent a message to Jason, and then casually adjusted her bitting posture like a spectator waiting for a show to begin

As the red cloth was lifted, the auctioneer’s enthusiastic speech came to an abrupt halt. He looked at the teardrop diamond in the display case, then back at his script Something was wrong!

When the spotlight shone brightly on the glass case, people in the room gasped in surprise.

“Am I seeing things? Isn’t this the necklace that Ada just donated?”

“That’s right! It’s the same one!”

Ada leaned forward in shock, staring at the necklace like she had been struck by lightning

Elspeth and Glynnis were shocked to their come, their hands tightly gripping each other’s, Glynnis had a cold sweat trickling down her spine.

The necklace she gave to Ada was a fake

That only meant one thing. The necklace on stage must be the real one!

“Ms. Evadne, didn’t you verify the items before the auction? How could such a blunder happen? Iris asked, her tone more of concern than accusation

“Am I the one who didn’t play by the rules? Or was it, Ms. Ada?” Evadne replied with a meaningful smile,

Inis gasped, “This necklace could it be?”

As the room filled with astonishment, Evadne elegantly rose and walked to the stage

Thaddeus watched the enchanting Evadne, his heart pounding under his tailored suit. Every inch of his skin felt like it was on fire.

Ladies and Gentlemen, as the organizer of the Ethereal Vogue charity event, Lapologize for this unfortunate mix-up that has caused a disruption to your experience” Evadne said, bowing deeply to the audience

The room gradually fell silent

“Secondly, the “Whispering Waters Jewels was donated by me personally, Evadne continued, her l*ps curling into a smile

Everyone was taken aback, all eyes turning to Ada

Ada was dumbstruck, her gaze shifting to Glynnis for help
