Mr. CEO Your Wife Has Wanted a Divorce for a Long Time (by Zora Pradeep) novel Chapter 377

Chapter 377

On the other side-

“Mom, here’s the invitation you wanted,” Julia said.

“Great. Thank Franklin for me,” Janice replied, placing the invitation in her ba. Then she asked, “Are you coming to the auction with us tomorrow, or is Franklin picking you up?”

Julia replied calmly, “Neither of us will be going tomorrow.”

Janice paused mid–zip. “Alright.”

That evening, Maggie arrived at the auction house with her aunt, Helen.

As they were checking in, Maggie caught sight of Janice and Lauren walking just ahead of them.

Naturally, Janice and Lauren also saw them.

Janice’s brows furrowed ever so slightly when she spotted Maggie.

The starting prices for the items at this auction were sky–high, meaning the guests invited were all top–tier elites from around the globe.

Ordinary wealthy families wouldn’t have access to this kind of event.

If not for Franklin, Janice wouldn’t have gotten an invitation either.

But Maggie-

A

Then again, given Johnny’s current popularity and his close ties with Maggie, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to secure an invitation for her.

Realizing that, Janice and Lauren both looked away without another thought.

Since their invitation had come through Franklin, Janice and Lauren were seated near the front.

Maggie and Helen were seated right next to them.

Just as Maggie and Helen took their seats, Levi entered the venue.

He was clearly surprised to see Maggie there.

But then his gaze landed on Janice, sitting right beside her.

He made a small, awkward noise: “Uh…”

This was a top–tier battlefield if he’d ever seen one.

After sitting down with his date in their assigned seats, Levi quickly sent Franklin a text:

[Maggie’s at the diamond auction too-

And she’s sitting right next to your future mother–in–law!]

Franklin’s reply came quickly:

[Oh.]

And that was it.

He didn’t seem the least bit interested.

Levi

He glanced over again at Maggie and Janice. Just then, Maggie noticed him.

When she saw him looking her way, her expression didn’t change. She simply poked away.

Janice, however, smiled politely and greeted him. “Levi.”

Levi gave a sheepish smile back. “Aunt Janice…”

After the brief exchange, Levi quickly turned back around.

A moment later, Rex also arrived.

He immediately noticed Maggie and Janice as well, his seat was right next to len’s.

He didn’t bother to greet Maggie, and Maggie continued pretending not to see him.

But like Levi, Rex made sure to politely greet Janice.

Janice smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

Before long, the auction officially began.

Though the star attraction was the rare diamond, there were other items up for bid as well.

All of them were expensive, each with a starting bid in the tens of millions.

Maggie had no interest in the other items. Her goal was only that one top–tier diamond.

So she didn’t raise her paddle for anything else.

Janice didn’t bid on anything either.

Finally, the most highly anticipated moment of the night arrived.

When the diamond was unveiled, countless gem enthusiasts in the room gasped in awe.

Though Maggie didn’t have a particular passion for diamonds, even she was stunned by the beauty and brilliance of the rare gem displayed on the stage.

Janice, on the other hand, had seen and owned many high–end jewels over the years.

But even for her, this was the first time laying eyes on something of this caliber.
