Chapter 57.
Armando was holding her hand and playing with it. When he heard that, he went silent for a moment, and his face darkened a little.
How could Juliette give up such a good chance?
She tilted her head up and gave him a kiss, her hand hooked on his belt, and said sweetly, “Let him give it a
try…”
Armando’s eyes went dark for a moment.
Jovana came back to the office looking lost.
Vonda came over to give her some files and saw she looked really sick. She jumped in surprise,”Ms. Atherton, what’s wrong with you?”
Jovana pulled at the corner of her mouth, forcing herself to stay awake, “I’m fine.”
At that moment, the office door was knocked on again.
Normand pushed the door open and came in, holding a fancy gift bag in his hand.
“Ms. Atherton, this was from Mr. Dunbar for you.”
Jovana glanced over and said coldly, “Just leave it there.”
Vonda saw the tag on the gift bag and was almost shocked. She was really jealous,”Ms. Atherton, Mr. Dunbar spoiled you so much. I’ve seen this ring online, it’s super expensive, and you can’t even buy it with money. Plus, a man can only custom-make one in his whole life!”
“Really?”
Jovana lifted the corners of her lips and opened the ring box. Inside was a brilliantly cut pink diamond, flawless and sparkling under the light. It was obvious it was worth a lot.
Her favorite was pink diamonds.
But in that moment, the first thing that popped into her mind was… the scene of Armando kneeling down to put a ring on Juliette’s finger, and that diamond ring was also a pink diamond.
Everything in front of me suddenly became incredibly ironic.
She blinked awkwardly and took out that delicate ring, “Take a picture for me.”
Vonda thought she was going to post on Instagram to show off her love, so she quickly took out her phone, Ms. Atherton, you came to the right person! I’m great at taking photos! I’ll make sure you and the ring look amazing!”
Jovana looked at the words in the box with a mocking look, beloved.
After she
got the photos Vonda took, she just put it up for sale on a secondhand site.
Made seven figures flipping it.
Love was fake, but money was definitely real.

Vonda finished giving out the work and left, then talked about the engagement ring with her coworkers in
the office.
Made everyone around really jealous:
“Oh my god, Mr. Dunbar spoiled Ms. Atherton so much! When could I have a boyfriend like Mr. Dunbar?”
Someone poked her on the head, “It’s daytime now, stop dreaming.”
“Haha.”
“But then again, Mr. Dunbar was really nice to Ms. Atherton, not like my husband. After we got married, he totally changed. All those promises he made before the wedding just went out the window.”
Jovana heard everything clearly in the office and felt really sad.
She took a deep breath, grabbed her cup and got ready to get some water.
At that moment, the phone on the table suddenly buzzed.
Jovana paused, thought it was work stuff, looked down without thinking, and suddenly stopped breathing.
Pop!
The cup in my hand fell hard to the floor.
Water splashed onto her skirt and into her shoes, Jovana didn’t care, she picked up her phone with shaking hands, her chest heaving.
“I really felt sorry for you, getting bullied by Evan and Zachary together, almost getting slept with, and Armando didn’t even care about you.”
“Last time at the restaurant, I got teased by a few guys, and he stood up for me and took care of those jerks.”
“You said being your wife was really tough.”
Jovana’s eyes were bloodshot.
But what he said wasn’t wrong, Armando really didn’t say a word for her.
And back then, the scene where he stood up for her and took care of those guys who made fun of Juliette,
not caring about anything else, was still burned into her mind like a brand.
Maybe that was the difference between loving and not loving.
It wasn’t that I was afraid to stand up for it, I just didn’t want to, I wasn’t willing.
Jovana’s heart, torn to pieces by Armando, hurt sharply.
Juliette texted, “Oh right, I forgot to tell you, the Marketing Department manager position, Armando was going to promote my brother, and we had to thank Ms. Atherton for stepping aside…”
Boom!

Jovana’s pupils trembled hard. She looked five times to make herself believe that everything in front of
her wasn’t an illusion.
