The atmosphere in the room became thick with tension as Justin’s reaction to “The Flaming Heart” necklace sent shockwaves through the crowd.
His face, usually composed, was now cold and hard, as if someone had struck him with a blow.
He felt humiliated, his heart aching with betrayal and anger.
This necklace was not just a piece of jewelry—it symbolized his deep feelings for Rosalind, and to see it paraded in front of him like this was unbearable.
Rosalind, too, was gripped with panic.
She felt as if the ground had been ripped out from under her.
The necklace was a token of love from Justin, something that held precious memories for both of them.
She had never expected it to resurface, especially not in such a public setting.
The anxiety was eating at her, and the room seemed to spin around her as she tried to come to terms with the situation.
Jean, who had been silent up until now, finally spoke, her voice laced with disbelief.
She could hardly believe that the necklace she had sold would end up in such a place.
Why was it here? Why was it donated by KS Group? she thought, her mind racing.
The realization hit her like a bolt of lightning—could this be part of Anna’s plan? Jean’s eyes narrowed as she cast a suspicious look toward Anna, who had disappeared from her seat.
The pieces were starting to fall into place.
Ryan, confused by Justin’s intense reaction, leaned in to ask if he was okay.
But there was no time for reassurances.
Justin was already too far gone, his mind consumed by the realization that the one thing he had given with such care and love was now being auctioned off to the highest bidder.
His body tensed as he felt the humiliation deepen with every passing second.
The auctioneer’s words only made things worse.
The statement about “The Flaming Heart” being a token of love, paired with the announcement of no base price for the necklace, made it clear that this was a unique piece—one that could not be easily replaced.
The entire room was buzzing with curiosity and excitement.
The bid for such a sentimental item was bound to be fierce.
Unable to contain his fury, Justin’s voice rang out across the room, demanding that the auction be stopped.
“Stop the auction immediately.
That necklace belongs to me!” His words were filled with authority, but his anger only seemed to make the atmosphere more charged.
Ryan could hardly believe what he had just heard.
The necklace belongs to him? he thought, eyes wide in disbelief.
But Justin’s focus was elsewhere.
His gaze swept the room, and he quickly realized that Asher’s seat was empty.
Where did Anna go? The realization hit him hard—Anna had orchestrated this whole thing.
She had humiliated him in front of everyone, and now he had to face the consequences of her manipulation.
Meanwhile, Bella, who had orchestrated much of the drama, had grown tired of the show.
She was no longer interested in watching the spectacle unfold and decided to leave.
As she walked away, she sighed, her thoughts drifting.
She had done her part, and now the ball was in someone else’s court.
