Chapter 21.
When Jovana took a cab to the auction house, she got a call from Latisha Vazquez.
Latisha was Jovana’s best friend, with whom she’d grown up playing.
“Vana, did you get here?”
‘Yeah, I already came in. Where are you?”
Jovana looked around. When she saw Latisha waving at her not far away, her eyes lit up.“I see you.”
She hung up the phone and walked over.
“I missed you so much.” They hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and Latisha immediately gave Jovana a big hug.
Jovana smiled and patted her on the back.
Latisha said, ‘I found out about the jade jewelry set you want. The starting price is about 350 thousand dollars.”
Jovana thought about it. As long as the price was under 750 thousand dollars, she could afford it.
She wanted to buy that set of jade jewelry as a gift for her grandma for her 70th birthday.
No matter what, she had to get it.
People gradually came in, and the auction was about to start.
“Vana, look over there!”
Latisha suddenly patted Jovana on the shoulder and pointed to a man and a woman not far away.
“That guy looks so much like Armando!
‘Also, who’s that woman next to him?”
When Jovana looked over, her mind buzzed. She stared blankly in the direction Latisha pointed, and her eyes widened in shock.
In the distance, the man half–hugged the woman and spoke to her with his head down. The two of them looked so intimate.
They wore matching couple baseball caps and sunglasses, looking just like an ordinary couple. Outsiders could hardly tell who they were.
But Jovana was sure that they were Armando and Juliette.
She pinched her palm hard, thinking, “So, Armando went out to keep Juliette company?
“So, in Armando’s heart, my grandma and I aren’t as important as his mistress?
‘So, he lied to me again.”

Latisha was so pissed off. When she saw Jovana’s eyes gradually turning red, she kind of figured out what was going on. Then, she got up abruptly, ready to catch those two bastards in the act!
‘Don’t go.”
Jovana gently stopped Latisha.
Latisha frowned, really confused, and couldn’t believe that Armando actually cheated on Jovana.
She thought any man in the world might cheat, but Armando definitely wouldn’t…
“Vana, tell me, when did Armando start cheating on you? He’s so bold! What did he promise you when he married you?
‘I knew it. No man in this world is reliable!”
“You’re right…”
Jovana tilted her head up a little. After she got over that sad feeling, she held Latisha’s arm and told her the whole story.
She originally wanted to wait until Kraig came back to tell him and Latisha that she was leaving.
But now, since Latisha had already found out, there was no need to hide it.
After listening, Latisha remained silent for a while and couldn’t help wanting to cry.
She held Jovana and said, “Then leave him! I’d like to see what Armando will be like in a month!”

Jovana gave a bitter smile.
She actually also wanted to see it.
After Armando saw that “gift“, would he be happy that he could finally be together with his mistress?
Would he regret what he did back then?

After a while, the auction started.
The first item was a piece of jewelry, which was made from rare pink diamonds. The design was really unique, and every detail was super delicate. It looked very exquisite.
The starting price was 150 thousand dollars.
Jovana once asked some people about buying this piece of jewelry.
She didn’t expect to run into this piece here.
She raised the bidding paddle.“160 thousand dollars.”
“170 thousand dollars.”
200 thousand dollars.”
People around also began to bid.
*240 thousand dollars.” Jovana raised the bidding paddle again. She was determined to get this piece of jewelry.
The auctioneer hit the hammer.“240 thousand dollars going once.240 thousand dollars going twice…”
Jovana pressed her lips together.
Just when it was about to become the hammer price, a man’s deep, strong voice sounded.
Armando raised his bidding paddle.“300 thousand dollars!”
