My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Another unexpected thing happened in the auction.

Normally, when a bid was completed, a staff member would go to them privately and ask them to pay.

But the host called Jonathan on the stage.

“See you up there!” He told Liliana as he made his way to the grand stage.

All lights were on him as he paid for the necklace in front of everyone.

“Wow! I did not think we would be so privileged to see your personal cheque. Thank you, President Smith!” The owner of the auction house and the main organizer had come to greet Jonathan on the stage as well.

“The pleasure is mine! This is personal, this has nothing to do with Smith Group.” He said firmly.

“May we ask?” The owner of the auction house said cautiously.

Jonathan smiled, “This is a gift for someone I admire a lot. She is an amazing person, and she fulfills every role perfectly. This is but a humble token of appreciation for someone so dazzling that she will grace this elegant necklace.”

The entire venue gasped at his words.

’20 billion dollars for a humble gift?’

‘Who is the lucky lady?’

“Is he into someone?’

‘Where can I find a man like President Smith?’

‘I am so jealous!’

‘I have never seen anyone showing off humbleness with 20 billion dollars.’

The organizer asked, “May we call her on the stage?”

Jonathan looked at the box and said, “Lil, would you give me the honor of presenting this to you?”

Liliana walked up to the stage amidst everyone’s envious gazes.

Rose had a sense of foreboding on seeing her.

Lester was immediately reminded of Anne on seeing a regal-looking Liliana but her eyes were cold and distant which reminded of Anne’s father, Leon. It made him feel so small that his dislike for Liliana intensified.

Romeo was busy fantasizing about the rich life he was going to live from then on, so he did not even see what was going on.

Vivian was in the worst shape. She could not believe the high and mighty Jonathan Smith would be subservient to anyone like that.

As soon as Liliana went up the stage, Jonathan went on his knees, but Liliana held him up before he could kneel and said that it was easier to put it on while standing.

Ignoring the curious and envious gazes of everyone, he put the necklace on Liliana’s neck.

Liliana smiled and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek which stunned him, but he did not show it.

Just as Liliana turned towards the stage, there was a standing ovation.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

The older people realized what it signified and wanted to celebrate. Most of them had some ties with the Petrovas as the Petrovas invested in many things and it was time for the younger generations to renew those equations. Seeing them the others were obligated to stand as well.

They could anticipate changes and busy times ahead.

Jonathan knew something was up. He was determined to clear all his doubts the first thing in the morning.

It was too late to visit his grandma now.
