Albert followed Elvira's gaze; he saw Melody standing still not far away with her hands on her chest, staring at them expressionlessly.Elvira's hair was in a mess, and her tears had washed away her makeup. She used the last vestiges of her strength to pull Albert's clothes in a pitiful manner."Albert will help her, right?""Of course! That bitch will pay for her arrogance. You just watch!"Everyone's eyes were focused on Melody.“Albert, help me… She broke my hand. I want to call the cops! We need to let her rot in jail!” Elvira said.Her eyes were filled with surging hatred. She wanted Melody to pay dearly for what had transpired. Unfortunately for her, things didn’t turn out the way she wanted.Albert pushed her away, then patted the corner of his clothes that she had touched in disgust. After that, he made a beeline straight for Melody. Just when everyone thought he was going to vent his anger on Melody, he took hold of her hands and asked, "Did she hurt you? Are your h

The chime rang at eight o'clock sharp, signaling the official start of the highlight of the exhibition. In the brightly-lit main hall, the auctioneer grabbed his mic and introduced the auction to the guests."Today's exhibition continues the dreamy minimalist design concept of a famous designer in Bayridge, while adopting a high-luxury artistic style. “All the exhibits on display today will be auctioned. We would like to present to you the high-end jewelry owned by the main organizer, as well as exhibits from other organizers; including rare high-end jades, calligraphy, painting relics from a century-old ancient capital, and ingenious master-level handmade wood carvings that have been discontinued.“This is not only an auction, but also an opportunity for cooperation. Many business giants are present among the guests. Grab the chance to buy items of your interest and earn the priority to cooperate with the organizers!”Albert entered the auction hall happily, his arm hooked with M

How dare Melody flirt with another man when he was still around! Was he dead to her?Christopher didn’t realize that he was being completely unreasonable. He was only Melody’s ex-husband, and nothing more. He had no grounds to be jealous.Deeply upset, he felt the urge to do something—anything. Without thinking, he immediately raised his sign and said calmly, "Two hundred thousand."The auctioneer was once again overjoyed. "Two hundred thousand dollars! Do I have more than two hundred thousand dollars?"Melody gritted her teeth, and turned to look at Christopher. That bastard didn’t bid on the jewelry displayed earlier, but competed for the necklace she was interested in.Christopher crossed his hands in front of him and leaned on his chair, showing a leisurely posture.Melody was annoyed.Christopher didn’t wear jewelry, and he was too old for the one Albert was wearing. Melody could guess who Christopher would give it to. Most likely, it would be that bitch Talia!Melody felt

Melody's tone was unkind, and there was no warmth in her eyes.Christopher's mood, which had just calmed down, began to fluctuate again. His expression was terrifying. "Your friend? What friend?"Melody refused to reply. Glancing at him once more, she sneered, "I don’t have to answer your question. All you have to know is if you insult him again, get ready for a court case!"Christopher's face turned even more terrifying.His ex-wife showed tender care for another man in front of him…He missed her care. He gripped his wine glass tightly; the veins on the back of his thin palms bulged, causing the guests next to him to look sideways in fright.They couldn’t hear what Melody and Christopher were talking about, but they could guess from their interaction. Looking at Christopher's frightening expression, they felt that if it weren’t for the guests, he would have smashed his wine glass without hesitation.Everyone around him was frightened.The female guests who came late whisper

The tug of war soon reached its climax.This time, Melody didn't act impulsively. Instead, she pondered for a moment before raising her sign. "600,000 dollars."Christopher countered, "650,000 dollars."Melody frowned. "660,000 dollars.""700,000 dollars.""730,000 dollars."Christopher was convinced she didn't understand appreciation. He finally raised his sign for the last time. "1,200,000 dollars."The brand representative was moved to tears. He hadn't expected to find someone who truly appreciated the embroidery piece, and was willing to pay such a high price for it.The auctioneer announced, "1,200,000 going once!"Melody didn't raise her sign again. Instead, she lowered her gaze in silence.Albert was concerned. "What's wrong? Do you need more money? I can help you buy it."She shook her head. "No need. I don't want it anymore."Albert was puzzled. "Why? You clearly liked it a lot."The auctioneer, without waiting for their conversation to end, quickly continued. "1,
