Chapter: 75

�It�s been called twice now,� the host said, flushed with excitement. �This is your last chance, ladies and gentlemen! Is no one going to outbid this price?�

�This ring is of great significance,� the host continued. �There�s only one of its kind in the world. Are you sure you don�t want to outbid the price?�

Silence.

�Okay, then. Thirteen and half million dollars-�

�Fifteen million!� shouted Stefan with an emotionless expression as he raised his placard right before the host was about to declare it sold.

Boom!

The whole room was astounded.

Even Renee was flabbergasted. She wondered, was this guy� out of his mind?! They would get divorced soon anyway, so why would he spend fifteen million dollars for their own wedding ring? No matter how rich H Group was, it was still a ridiculous way to spend money!

�It must be true love!� someone shouted. �This is clearly a sign of true love!�

�No matter what, anything that belongs to your wife should return to her anyway!�

�Mr. Hunt must really love his wife very much! They�re nothing at all like the rumored emotionless couple! What a touching scene!�

Some audience members were now moved to tears by Stefan�s grand gesture.

But Briar, who was in the second row, clenched her fists and glared at Renee, her eyes burning with hatred borne of jealousy.

�But Mr. Osborne was very keen on the item earlier. Are you sure you don�t want to outbid the price?�

The whole crowd turned to Liam, but he was only smiling sheepishly. He shrugged and said, �I can't afford it. I give up!�

�Fifteen million going once!�

�Fifteen million going twice!�

�Fifteen million dollars sold!�

Holding the microphone, the host excitedly announced, �Congratulations, Mr. Hunt! The diamond ring that your wife donated is now yours. Please come onstage and give a short speech!�

Stefan�s face was its usual cool and suave. But internally, he wondered why he felt as if he�d walked into a trap set by Renee and Liam. Or was he perfectly willing to step into the trap himself? JrNovels.com
