The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 91

Chapter91

It was like what he said to her over a month ago, after he found out the birthstone meanings of Tanzanite and turquoise-

“It didn’t matter, I, Maxwell’s kid, deserved the most expensive diamonds, like that Pink Star.”

She could almost imagine what Maxwell was thinking right now-“My woman deserves expensive pigeon blood rubies. I can’t give her a one- million Tanzanite. If she wears that out, it’s my face she’s losing.”

Time passed slowly, and finally, it was time for the last big auction item.

“This wasn’t an item, it was the paintings made by those poor kids who were chosen, twenty in total. You could pick one or a few to bid on. All the money from the auction went 100% to charity.”

If it was another auction, the last item would have been something super rare, but this was a charity dinner, so using these paintings as the final lots, even if they weren’t expensive, was still really meaningful.

Stephanie looked at the paintings but didn’t raise the bidding paddle number 823 in her hand.

But looked over at Jeremiah instead.

Jeremiah got what she meant: “Which one do you like?”

Stephanie smiled, tapped one of the pictures on the tablet, and said, “This one by Belinda.”

It was a picture of a cactus in the sun. It was simple, but she really

liked it.

Jeremiah nodded and took a picture of it with his badge.

Both of them knew it wasn’t a good idea for number 823 to bid again at this point.

But both of them were invited, so they had two number tags.

At that time, Jeremiah’s number 811 sign didn’t stand out at all. Even if they sat together, it was no big deal. They just needed to hold up the sign. After all, it was normal for people on the second floor to walk around and talk to each other.

There wasn’t any rule that said only one person could sit in a seat.

After the auction was over, the charity dinner was almost finished. What was left were some singing and dancing, and the final group photo.

Maxwell didn’t like joining these group photos, but Roxanne looked at him all pitiful, so he reluctantly went over.

Everyone else gave him the spot in the middle, but he just frowned and stood at the back edge.

As for Stephanie and Jeremiah, they both stood at the end farthest from Maxwell.

Other celebrities squeezed in and showed off their skills in the middle.

“Okay, everyone, look at the camera! One, two, three!”

“Click!”

“Okay, one more shot, one, two, three!”

During the second group photo, Maxwell was really impatient, but for some reason, he glanced at the two people on the other end.

The masked woman was whispering something to Jeremiah, her lips still smiling. She looked different from before when she looked at him- right now, she seemed gentle and beautiful.

“Jeremiah found a pretty good woman this time, better taste than before,” Maxwell thought.

“Click!”

The second group photo was taken.

Hearing the sound, Maxwell finally looked away and turned to Roxanne beside him.

Roxanne didn’t notice any of this from Maxwell, she just kept posing.

“Last one! Come on, look at the camera!”

Stephanie was in a pretty good mood.

Her phone just rang, and the money came in.

That Tanzanite was hers, and even though she sold it to Jeremiah right from the start, the two of them had a private agreement.

The donors at this auction donated 70%. Except for the first warm–up Ming Dynasty antique, which was 50%, and the last highlight, a painting by a sick child, which was 100%, all the others were donated at 70%.

So, 25 million, donated 70%, still had 30% left, that’s 7.5 million, and after some taxes and stuff, there was still quite a bit left.

The Conway Group always acted fast, so by now the money had already been sent to Jeremiah, and Jeremiah had sent it to her.

She was going to pick up that painting of cactuses in the sunlight later, and all this stuff could be stored.

“The result was actually pretty good,” Stephanie said to Jeremiah.

The Tanzanite was originally worth one million, and now 70% of it was donated, but she still had so much left.

Jeremiah sighed, “But I still gave him that Tanzanite.”

Stephanie shook her head and smiled, saying, “This was already the best outcome. That Tanzanite was meant to be auctioned off to raise money for sick kids. Now I even made a bit more back, and the sick kids got more charity funds too. Not bad at all.”

A few days ago, when they went to the courthouse, they had already signed the property division agreement about the divorce.
