Chapter 442

They had planned for every possibility except for this one-Ada Wang donating that necklace openly in front of everyone!

How could this be?!

Bethany hurriedly looked back to meet Zoe’s gaze from a few meters

away, wanting to speak but unable to.

The reveal of Alexa’s work truly pushed the atmosphere of the

auction toward its climax.

Those present who were part of the jewelry industry and enthusiasts all leaned forward and craned their necks just to catch a glimpse of

the legendary designer’s brilliant work.

Justin and Christopher had both heard of Alexa, and their eyes, which

had been dull the whole night, sparked to life at that moment.

The two men gripped their paddles tightly, already eager to place their

bids.

“Bethany, why did you stand up? Hurry up and sit down. Can’t you see the people surrounding us are looking at you?” Shannon saw that Bethany was doing something undignified again and tugged at her

arm hard.

“Mom, something’s happened!” Bethany collapsed into her seat. Her

voice was even trembling.

“Something? What thing?”

“The necklace Ada Wang donated… gave it to her.”

“You gave it to her?! Where did you get an Alexa piece?!”

Shannon was shocked, but she quickly became furious. “You gave her such an expensive necklace? She’s basically wasting it and dismissing your goodwill! Is she trying to offend you?! Also, why didn’t you bring it home to me if you had a piece of Alexa designer jewelry and gave it to that actress instead? I raised you for nothing!”

“Mom… That necklace… It’s fake.” Bethany had broken out into a cold

sweat as she spoke weakly.

Shannon was shocked. “What did you say? It’s fake?!”

“Zoe helped me get Alexa’s apprentice to make that counterfeit

necklace…” Bethany stuttered. “Ada Wang was taking a long time to sign the contract, so out of desperation, I came up with the plan to do what Bella Thompson did and use Alexa’s jewelry to get her favor… The fake is very well done, and it’s one of Alexa’s less popular works, so Ada Wang didn’t notice. I know the truth gets out eventually, but I thought that even if it got revealed in the future, the contract would have been signed, and Ada Wang wouldn’t be able to go back on it even if she wanted to. But I never expected her to donate the necklace to charity! If this gets out, Salvador Corporation’s reputation

will be ruined!”

“You really are dumb as a rock!”

Shannon said in a furious whisper, jabbing her sharp nails at Bethany. “It’s better to not give anything than to give fake goods! Our family name will be ruined by you if this gets out. Don’t you know that?!”

“It wasn’t my idea… It was Zoe’s! You can’t put the whole blame on me!” Bethany pursed her lips in indignance, actually feeling aggrieved.copy right hot novel pub
