She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 245

Tears flow down Anna Fuller’s cheeks, the plate raised halfway in her hand is shaking hard because she was not expecting Johnny Vanderbilt to be so cruel to her—

He knew she was going for the necklace, and he did not only bid for it, but actually gave her a price that told her to keep away from it.

One billion. What a cold number.

Jack Fuller didn’t want her to come. In fact, Jack Fuller didn’t tell her about the auction of the necklace. But she knew. She knows everything about Johnny Vanderbilt, the man who was supposed to be on the sacred altar with her. How could Jack Fuller expect her to not come?

Ava is beyond excitement at Johnny Vanderbilt’s bid – to Ava, it’s just a number unnecessarily high for an item they stole with a reserve price low as 30 million. But whatever. Maybe the riches just like to brag about how much money they have. The more the better – for her.

The item is listed under her name, and she takes the bigger part of the final price.

Scar raises her plate in a haste, huffing at her useless brother. She sent him over to distract his dead Daddy, not to piss off the man to go for an unnecessary price! Ugh! She must do everything herself?!

Before she could even announce a price, Damian charges into her room, and ignoring her rage, he grabs her wrist in haste: “Wait for one second, trust me!”

“I don’t freaking have one second!” Scar snaps, fighting with him, “No one is getting Mom’s necklace, the least of all--”

She purses her lips at the slip of tongue, but Damian is not looking at her, but at Anna Fuller—

“You will get the necklace today, I promise!”

“How could you promise that when--”

“No. 27 calls it!” The host points in Anna Fuller’s direction, barely out of the shock of Johnny Vanderbilt’s price yet, “This item is going for a record today!”

Shocked, Scar pauses. The situation forces her to trust Damian’s words, mostly because the unexpected party joining the battle.

Ava’s smile freezes at an ugly twist. She darts her eyes to her father, her mouth open wide enough for an egg. “What’s Mom doing?!”

Jack Fuller closes his eyes, a heavy desperation on his face.
