The room had already fallen unusually quiet after Mason West’s arrival, and with the music lowered in the background, everyone heard the number clearly.

Fifteen point nine nine carats.

The second the words left his mouth, expressions around the room shifted almost in unison.

Because suddenly, everyone remembered the same thing.

Not long ago, at that famous auction, Navia Harrison had purchased the legendary pigeon-blood ruby.

And if they remembered cor

  • I Dumped My Cheating Fiancé and Married His Uncle   Three Questions

    Navia didn’t dwell on the matter for very long.She returned to the garden, clipped several fresh flowers, and asked a servant to bring her a beautiful vase filled with water so she could arrange them.Ever since taking a few floral arrangement classes, she’d unexpectedly developed a real interest in flower design.Unfortunately, after everything that happened—and now with her pregnancy and new status—it was no longer convenient for her to return to her old classes.Because she’d already witnessed firsthand how those wealthy socialites behaved behind closed doors.The gossip.The snobbery.The constant social climbing.Those classes had never really been about flowers.They were networking events disguised as hobbies.And with Navia’s current identity, if she showed up there now, she doubted she’d even be able to focus on arranging flowers anymore. Every few minutes, someone would probably in

    Leonel’s expression remained calm.“You’ll know whether it was a misunderstanding after you watch it.”The moment he said that, Navia realized he truly had done nothing wrong.Instant regret flooded her instantly.“I really misunderstood you…”Her eyes reddened immediately.Tears began gathering at the corners before she could stop them.Leonel sighed softly and reached over to wipe them away gently with his thumb.“You haven’t even watched the footage yet,” he murmured. “What if you weren’t wrong?”Even now, he still sounded more amused than upset.Navia immediately glared at him through watery eyes and slapped his hand away.“Get lost! If I wasn’t wrong, then I’m absolutely calling the police!”“I know,” Leonel replied calmly, though there was faint wounded humor in his voice. “You’d definit

  • I Dumped My Cheating Fiancé and Married His Uncle   The Surveillance

    Navia shivered uncontrollably.Even from this distance, she could somehow feel the terrifying darkness radiating from him.The violent aura surrounding him felt suffocating.Yet when Leonel realized she was standing there, he didn’t look particularly shocked.After a brief silence, he simply began walking toward her slowly.“Navia,” he said quietly. “Why are you here?”His voice remained deep and calm.Even gentle.But the closer he approached, the more frightened Navia became.Instinctively, she stepped backward.“Don’t come any closer!”Leonel’s footsteps paused immediately.A shadow flickered briefly through his eyes before disappearing again.Still, he softened his voice further.“You shouldn’t be here,” he said quietly. “This place is dangerous.”Then, almost casually:“Who brought you here?”There w

  • I Dumped My Cheating Fiancé and Married His Uncle   His Other Side

    After Jason gave her the address, Navia immediately prepared to drive there herself.The servants looked startled.“Mrs. Crawford, you’re driving alone?” one of them asked quickly. “Why not call for a driver?”“There’s no need,” Navia replied, frowning slightly. “I’ve been stuck inside all day. I just want to go out for a while.”Seeing how determined she was, none of the servants dared continue stopping her.Only after watching her leave did they exchange glances and quietly sigh among themselves.Clearly, they weren’t particularly pleased with her.After all, the Crawford Family had existed for generations. Rules and tradition mattered above everything else.Leonel ignoring convention was one thing.But his wife?Navia Harrison was even more outrageous.She had been spoiled her entire life and treated the Crawford Estate like her own home—coming and

  • I Dumped My Cheating Fiancé and Married His Uncle   Panic

    Leonel followed right behind her immediately.That somehow felt even more dangerous.Navia sped up instinctively while he followed closely behind like a predator calmly tracking prey.Finally she stopped abruptly.“You walk in front.”Leonel looked amused. “Weren’t you trying to avoid me? Why am I suddenly walking ahead now?”“Just go in front,” she muttered. “I’ll walk behind you…”Before she finished, Leonel reached over and intertwined their fingers naturally.“Can’t we just walk together holding hands?”Navia instinctively tried pulling away.Then she heard him sigh softly beside her.“Following medical advice isn’t only your responsibility,” he said quietly. “I’ll behave too.”His voice lowered further.“So there’s no need to push me away.”Then almost gently:“

  • I Dumped My Cheating Fiancé and Married His Uncle   Kindest Person Ever

    Leonel clearly hadn’t expected that question.He fell silent for a moment.Navia’s eyes widened instantly as realization hit her.“You didn’t make the pilot speed up, did you?!”“There wasn’t much time,” Leonel admitted after a pause. “So… we rushed a little.”The moment he said that, Navia understood exactly what he meant.She immediately climbed onto the bed, knowing she wasn’t tall enough otherwise, and stood there glaring down at him from above as if she wanted to grab him by the collar and shake him violently.“Leonel Crawford, are you insane?!” she exploded. “That was a plane, not a damn fighter jet! Do you realize if something happened, I’d become a widow overnight?! Have you completely lost your mind?!”Navia rarely cursed this much.When Marcus Morgan drove like a lunatic earlier, she’d been furious—but if he&r

  • I Dumped My Cheating Fiancé and Married His Uncle   Can't Remember

    No one knew how much time had passed before dawn finally began to brighten the horizon.A pale silver glow spread across the sky.Suddenly—“No!”Navia jolted upright in bed with a frightened cry.Cold sweat covered her body.Leonel had always been

  • I Dumped My Cheating Fiancé and Married His Uncle   No Need To Rush

    Navia had rarely seen him genuinely furious before.This was probably the first time.She wanted to laugh so badly, but didn’t dare.So she coughed lightly instead and muttered unhappily:“Fine, don’t use ice then. Why are you yelling at me?”&ldqu

  • I Dumped My Cheating Fiancé and Married His Uncle   Bad Timing

    Leonel Crawford clearly hadn’t expected Navia to push him away at a moment like this.His brows furrowed slightly.Even so, his arm instinctively tightened around her waist to steady her, making sure she wouldn’t fall backward off the entryway console.“Why?&rdquo

  • I Dumped My Cheating Fiancé and Married His Uncle   Serious Conversation

    For several seconds, Leonel said nothing.Then he exhaled quietly and pulled her into his arms.This time, he remembered her complaints from earlier.He held her gently, almost cautiously, like she was something precious and breakable.“I’m sorry,” he murmure
