Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 723

Chapter 723

Ruby City would hold a charity auction twice yearly where most items, ranging from jewelry to antiques, were donated anonymously.

There were no restrictions when it came to the auctioned items.

On such events, besides people who were here to build a reputation for themselves, some were here to coax their wives or lovers.

Elizabeth had her eyes on one of the necklaces a long time ago.

It was a tear-drop-shaped sapphire pendant surrounded by many small diamonds, making it look dazzling under the light.

After being with Joseph for so many years, she naturally had no shortage of jewelry.

However, Elizabeth's eyes burned with jealousy after seeing a big pink diamond necklace on Eloise the one time she attended an event with Joseph.

Since then, Elizabeth had been bugging Joseph to get her a more fabulous necklace.

Although he agreed, he could not find a suitable one and pushed this matter aside.

However, this was a thorn in Elizabeth's heart.If she could not be"Mrs.Tanner," she would have to be compensated in other manners.

She had to be better than that woman in all the other aspects.

Ultimately, she managed to badger Joseph to agree to take her to this auction.

Feigning pity, she cried about how it had not been easy for her to follow him around for so many years yet never had the opportunity to go to events like these.

All this while, she could only watch him bring his wife to countless events and occasions while she stayed in the shadows.

It was pitiful, indeed! As she cried, using her son as persuasion, Joseph finally softened and agreed to bring her.

It was not like his wife did not know about this.

It was a publicized thing.

If it were not for the law, he would have brought Elizabeth home to live with him.

What was the big deal of having another woman in the house? Elizabeth was onto something today.

She needed to get that necklace at the auction tonight to spite that woman.

With the latest dress, she was glowing as she arrived at the auction center around Joseph's arms, looking triumphant.

Everyone around noticed the couple.

Although they realized it was a different woman in his arms, it was not unusual for this circle.

This group of people was realistic; Ultimately, a mistress would always be just a mistress.

They had no place here.

These rich men's wives did not want anything to do with a mistress, as it would only tarnish their name.

Elizabeth, who had circled the place yet nothing fruitful came from it, was furious.

Now, she was even more determined to get that sapphire necklace.

‘Get off your high horses! The Tanner Corporation will belong to my precious son in the future, and you guys will be lining up to talk to me.Don't even think about currying favors with me next time"

With these thoughts in mind, she took a glass of red wine and snuggled up to Joseph.

"Honey, don't forget your promise to me.You need to get the sapphire necklace—"

"All right, don't worry!"

Joseph patted her back assuringly.

"It's just a sapphire necklace.I won't forget.I promise you'll be bringing it home with you today!"

Then Elizabeth beamed as she peacefully waited for her precious necklace to be hers.
