I Dumped My Cheating Fiancé and Married His Uncle のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Meanwhile, Adrian brought Navia to his private suite upstairs.“Coffee or tea?” he asked.“I still have another appointment later,” Navia replied politely. “So no tea for now.”Then she glanced around casually. “Did Leonel ask you to come?”Adrian’s hand visibly trembled for a split second. He forced a smile.“Leonel? Of course not. If Leonel were here, do you really think he’d allow Liam and Linda to treat you like that?”He laughed awkwardly.“If he showed up, he probably would’ve handled everything himself before I even had the chance.”“He’s not here?” Navia frowned slightly.Something felt strange.Especially because Adrian looked inexplicably guilty while saying it.Why wouldn’t he meet her eyes?Inside, Adrian felt absolutely miserable.As for why Leonel ignored everything happening downstairs—

The moment Navia finished speaking, Leonel immediately realized something was wrong.“What happened yesterday?”Navia stared hard at his expression, only to find genuine concern in his eyes instead of guilt.“You really don’t know?” she asked quietly.Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to continue.“I know we’re married, and until the timing is right, we need to keep our distance in public. But if you didn’t want this, you could’ve just told me directly. There was no need to…”She turned away before he could see the moisture gathering in her eyes.Then she threw out one final sentence.“Leonel Crawford, the thing I hate most is being lied to.”Leonel stood frozen behind her. He didn’t chase after her. He simply watched as her figure disappeared down the hallway before finally pulling out his phone.Jason Cole answered almost immediately.&

“Mr. Morgan bids… one hundred million”Even the auctioneer’s voice trembled.This wasn’t just another high-profile bid anymore—this was a record-breaking moment for the entire auction house.What did real wealth look like?This.Marcus Morgan hadn’t merely overshadowed Liam Crawford.He had completely crushed him.Only moments ago, Liam had grandly declared his love for his fiancée in front of the entire ballroom.Now, under the overwhelming pressure of Marcus’s terrifying bid, Liam looked less like a winner and more like someone publicly humiliated.Sure enough, Liam’s expression darkened instantly.He clearly hadn’t expected someone to intercept him halfway through the bidding.And definitely not Marcus Morgan.Linda Vale froze too.Just seconds ago, she had already imagined herself wearing that ruby, imagined flaunting it in front of Navia Harrison

“Congratulations to Miss Harrison of Harrison Group for winning the Burmese pigeon blood ruby!”For a full second, the ballroom fell silent.The ruby… actually belonged to Navia now?Four hundred million dollars.Four hundred million and five hundred thousand dollars.Every gaze in the room focused entirely on her.Navia smiled calmly at everyone around her.Then, intentionally or not, her eyes drifted toward Liam and Linda.Earlier, the two of them had been showing off so proudly.Now, the more dazzling Navia’s victory became, the more pathetic they looked in comparison.Liam had never felt humiliation this intense before.Even the disaster at the wedding—when Navia exposed him publicly—hadn’t made him feel this furious and unwilling to accept defeat.Just as everyone expected Liam to finally explode—Clap.Clap. Clap.The sound of applause echoed through the

Navia froze.The pale glow from the phone illuminated her bloodless face.After only a second of hesitation, she bit down on her lip, threw aside her phone, and ran downstairs barefoot.Halfway down the staircase, another violent crack of thunder exploded outside.Startled, her ankle twisted sharply and she nearly tumbled down the stairs.She rushed to the door and yanked it open.Cold wind and rain instantly swept into the house.In the darkness beyond, another flash of lightning illuminated the world for a split second.And through the white glare, Navia vaguely saw Leonel standing there.She threw herself toward him.And Leonel immediately wrapped her tightly in his arms.His trench coat was soaked through with rain, carrying a cold damp chill, but beneath it, the heat of his body radiated against her skin, making her feel inexplicably safe.She clung to him tightly without letting go.Leonel closed the door behind
