The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79

Jeremiah said, each of the three of them had their own business. This time, the main reason Simon was able to reach so far was because he talked bad about him in front of Garrett, which made the old man misunderstand him.

The old man’s attitude decided the attitude of the people below him, and that was really serious.

Garrett didn’t care anymore. After a while, Jeremiah could totally take control of things.

That’s enough.

Stephanie chatted with Garrett a bit more, then put her mask back on.

As she was about to walk out the door, she heard a soft sigh from Garrett behind her: “What a pity, he left too soon.”

Stephanie gripped the doorframe. She wanted to rush back and ask Garrett what really happened back then!

In the end, only her remaining sanity held her back.

This step today–putting on a brave face, pretending to be calm, acting all mysterious–had already pushed her to her limit. The thing with her dad had to wait.

Thinking about it, Stephanie let go, went out and bowed to Garrett, then finally closed the door.

“How is it? How is it?” Jeremiah outside the door was so nervous he was about to explode.

The room was really soundproof, he didn’t hear a thing even when he pressed up against the crack under the door.

The other two were still watching. Stephanie had no expression and just said, “Let’s go back.”

Then, she went down first.

But Jeremiah got upset and started arguing with Simon, who was making sarcastic comments.

Stephanie didn’t want to listen to that, she just calmly went downstairs.

She had just turned a corner when someone blocked her way.

Stephanie looked up.

Was one of the Wilkinson family.

The three big bosses in Haraville were the Humphrey Group, the Conway Group, and the Wilkinson Group.

Each of them controlled a different lifeline of Haraville.

The Wilkinson Group was the owner of the biggest gem and jewelry stores in Haraville.

Back then, her Tanzanite was bought from a jewelry store under the Wilkinson Group.

“Serena?” The other person looked her up and down, eyes a bit playful.

“Mr. Harrison.” Stephanie greeted calmly.

“Do you recognize me?” Harrison said in surprise.

Stephanie looked up, “Mr. Harrison is so famous, how could I not

know him.”

Harrison thought about it too, but these things weren’t important.

“Why were you and Roxanne fighting over that Tanzanite?” Harrison came over. “Can you tell me?”

Stephanie just smiled and said nothing.

“I just saw how hot this Tanzanite was, so I immediately asked the store to check it out, and guess what I found?”

Stephanie still didn’t say anything, just stared straight ahead with no expression.

“Oh, aren’t you curious? Let me tell you, the original buyer was Stephanie, that’s Maxwell’s wife, Stephanie.”

Stephanie’s face still looked calm.

This info was easy to find out within the Wilkinson Group, and it didn’t mean anything.

“Do you know Stephanie?” Harrison suddenly asked again.

“Don’t know.” Stephanie answered calmly.

“Then I just couldn’t figure it out.” Harrison scratched his head.

Stephanie smiled, turned around, looked at Harrison, and said, “That’s normal. Maybe she used to like that Tanzanite, then passed it on to someone else, and after changing hands a few times, it finally showed up at this auction.”

“This is different,” Harrison said seriously. “I heard she really liked this Tanzanite. I heard that someone else wanted it at the same time as her, and she had to pay a price to get it, so there’s no way she’d let it go easily.”

Stephanie looked at Harrison and stared for a long time.

It even made him feel a bit creeped out.

Finally, Stephanie smiled and said, “In the end, didn’t she already make a move?”

From the moment Tanzanite went into the charity auction, it meant that whether it was Stephanie or the later buyers, they all decided to sell Tanzanite.

Harrison was stunned for a moment.

I thought what he said made a lot of sense.

He couldn’t find any reason to argue back.

“Excuse me.” Stephanie said, gave a slight nod, and turned to walk down the hallway.

But I had just walked a few steps when I ran right into Roxanne.

Stephanie felt really annoyed. She wanted to avoid it, but the other person walked straight over, clearly trying to block her on purpose.

Serenal”

Roxanne spoke first.

Stephanie stood still and calmly looked at Roxanne in front of her, not knowing what she wanted to say.

“I told you, you’d better stop.” There was nothing but threat in Roxanne’s eyes. “You’re just the girl Jeremiah brought along, you

should at least show Maxwell some respect. Doing this would only get you and Jeremiah in trouble!”
