The Untouchable Ex Wife novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Inside the exhibition box shone a pink peach-shaped pendant, dazzling the eyes that saw it.

“As you can see,” said the host, “this peach-shaped pendant was cut from a single whole piece of pink. crystal, and it was given an incredibly romantic name-Everlasting Heart…”

This is far from being a normal crystal pendant,” the host continued. “Legend has it that it was specially made for the adopted daughter of the king of a small kingdom in Varangia, which means that this… is a royal treasure, ladies and gentlemen. It is absolutely one of its kind in this world. Currently, it’s being valued at around three million dollars!”

The host’s colorful descriptions endowed the already luxurious pendant with even more hype and splendor. The audience’s continuous gasps in awe were enough to show how highly regarded this crystal. pendant was. Numerous ladies even cast an envious look at Charlotte.

“So,” Micah took Charlotte’s hand and asked in a groveling manner, “do you like this surprise that I’ve given you, baby?”

Charlotte’s vanity was fully assuaged by that point, and the grin on her face could not get any wider.

Meanwhile, Liam was frowning slightly in the first row as he studied that pendant with a scrutinizing gaze. Disdainfully, he said, “The crystal’s coloring is mediocre at best, but I guess the label of being a royal jewelry managed to get it to be valued as high as three million dollars. Do these people think that we’re all idiots with too much money in our hands?”

“It is indeed a good quality crystal,” responded Renee in a half-smile and a vaguely mysterious tone, “but as for whether or not it comes from a royal family, well…” 1

“Right,” the host continued, “we have just presented to you all the items that will be auctioned off today, and among all the donated items, the most valuable one is the pink peach-shaped crystal pendant that Mr. Micah Larson donated in the name of his girlfriend Charlotte Milford, therefore, I’d like to invite Miss Charlotte to please come on stage.”

And so Charlotte appeared on stage like a celebrity amidst loud cheers and applause. She took the microphone and spoke to the audience in an obviously affected tone, “Thank you for your applause, ladies and gentlemen. I’m really happy to be here with you today in the name of charity. To spread the love, I would like to invite my cousin-in-law, Renee Everheart, to come on stage and share this beautiful moment with me.”

As she finished her sentence, she extended her arms toward Renee as an inviting gesture.
