Dear Ex-Wife, You Are MINE! Chapter 33 Wait a minute!

VICTORIA’S POV

I watched him in surprise. Jayden wasn’t present during the whole auction time and suddenly appeared at the last announcement.

His soft brown eyes locked into mine as he flashed his handsome smile toward me.

“I said the bid, Miss Williams. Hope I am not late?” His brow raised in amusement, and I was pushed back to my senses.

My eyes fell on the audience, especially the last bidder. Camilla’s face was pale in disbelief, which was a refreshing sight for me.

Soon, I digested the shock, and with a nod, I started sealing the bid. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“The gentleman set the bar high with ten million. Ten million one, Ten million two…”

All the while, my eyes kept fixated on Alessandro and Camilla. The distress on Camilla’s face was fairly visible. She started shaking Alessandro’s arm and saying something.

Maybe urging him to raise the bid. Yet, Alessandro only shook his head.

Afterward, I exclaimed, “Ten million three,” and joyfully rang the last bell. I then announced, “Sold! The ‘Beloved’ now belongs to this gentleman.”

People in the audience started watching Jayden with new admiration, and some with jealous eyes. But he was only looking at me.

I don’t know why he did that, but I just realized that the old Jayden never changed. Always dramatic with appearance and loves to stand up beside friends. If I’m not mistaken, he only bought ‘Beloved’ to insult Camilla and Alessandro.

“Wait a minute!” At that moment, Camilla suddenly shouted, earning all the attention on her as she stood up.

Ignoring all other eyes, she turned her gaze to Jayden with her always arrogant attitude as she spoke,

“Mr, I am willing to trade you the other jewels I got in today’s auction for this diamond because it is what my boyfriend Aless wanted to give me.”

Her words confirmed my previous guess, and I felt drenched for the first time after they appeared.

Even though I closed my heart to Alessandro, that particular news pinched a part of me. But that is not solely because of that ‘boyfriend’ remark but his action and thinking about my blinded love that I regret.

Once again, he proved that I had never been worthy in his eyes to receive any gifts from him. He has never purchased a small piece of paper for me in the entire duration of our three-year marriage, let alone anything else.

Even before our marriage, I bought our wedding ring by myself. When I asked him if he liked it, he just stated ‘whatever’ with a cold frown and never even looked at it.

“I heard that Mr. Devonte has just gotten divorced and got a new girlfriend in a really short time, huh?” I heard Jayden’s tone. He was polite, but the mockery in his words would hit the person’s heart.

Alessandro didn’t reply anything, only frowned at his remark. His eyes were still on me, and this wasn’t very clear. No matter what was happening, he was only watching me as if I were the only person present.

“Look, Mr,” Camilla spoke up when Alessandro didn’t defend himself. “We have been in a long relationship, even before he was married. His ex-wife was in between us.”

Camilla was harsh, and Jayden still found humor in them as he chuckled.

“Oh!” He raised his brow. “So you are saying that, even after getting married to someone else, you maintained your relationship?” Jayden sneered. “What an irony. I am glad the woman decided to walk away. After all, who would want a husband with a mistress?”

Jayden’s words were loud enough for people to hear, and in an instant, I could hear people’s strange gazes on the couple and their murmurs.

“What a shame. I never thought Mr. Devonte would be like that.”

“Today’s generation is shameless.”

“I never thought Camilla White was the mistress!”

At this point, I started feeling bad for them. Well, not for them but for Alessandro.

I know I shouldn’t, but deep down in my heart, I still have a soft corner for this man, and when he gets insulted, it feels bad.

Jayden’s eyes fell on mine, and I shook my head with a silent plead. He just shrugged.

“Well, ma’am. I am very sorry; I can’t help it.

I have promised this jewelry to a very important person. Moreover, this was a fair bid. He could have fought for it if he wanted. So please, ask your boyfriend to buy you other jewelry.” Jayden stated.

Throwing his words at Camilla, Jayden’s turned his gaze on me, and his mocking smirk softened.

He slowly walked toward me with a smile, saying, “please allow me to present this diamond to my close friend Victoria. I hope you can be happy every day and start a new life from now on.”

Saying this, he sends a wink in my direction, making me smile at his playful remarks.

At that moment, all I could hear were the sounds of camera clicks and flashes as the photographers became crazy with the sudden turn of the situation.

I am sure I will be in tomorrow’s breaking news and probably go viral on the internet.
