Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect by Henry Foster

Chapter 152

The chatter in the room died down as the auctioneer unveiled the fourth item-a breathtaking purple diamond

that left every lady in attendance gaping. Diamonds were a girl's best friend, and this one was the star of the

show, The high-society ladies knew their gems, and this six-and-a-half-carat stunner was a real head-turner. It

was a rare beauty, bigger and more Impressive than most purple diamonds they'd ever laid eyes on. Yvene's

eyes sparkled with admiration, and Helen's eyes nearly popped out of her head as she clutched Xavier's arm,

pleading. "Bro, this diamond Is to die for. You have to get it for me." Helen's words made Yvette's hand tighten

on her dress, and Yvette's lips pressed together in a thin line.

palpable

In the front row, Irene had her sights set on the necklace, too. "Yonas, this would look amazing on me, right?" she

gushed, her excitement palp

Yonas remembered the pink diamond he'd won at the last auction. The designer of this purple dazzler was the

same, and it was just as famous. He nodded, placating Irene with a smile. Yasmine traced her neck, feeling

relieved that she hadn't worn the necklace Yonas had given her.

Then the auctioneer's voice cut through the murmurs. This exceptionally rare purple diamond necklace is up for

grabs, starting at 3 million dollars

Morgan didn't hesitate and s

said with a paddle in his hand, "8.5 million dollars."

Yasmine's gaze shot to Morgan, who added with a grin. "It's all yours."

Right then. Xavier raised his paddle and said. "8 million dollars"

Quick as a flash, Irene blurted. "13 million dollars!"

A blue diamond from a top jeweler, barely five carats, had fetched 20 million dollars, so this price wasn't out of

this world.

Morgan's smile widened as he said, 16.5 million dollars!"

The price had skyrocketed 10 million in the blink of an eye, nearing the purple diamond's peak value. Going any

higher would be a loss

But for Irene, money was no object. She raised her paddle and said, "20 million dollars."

"20 million dollars? Ms. Irene White is playing for keeps

"The White family's fortune is at her fingertips. She's just back in town, and her father William is rolling out the

red carpet for her. Plus, there's Mr. Yonas Russell behind her." "What's more, Irene and Yonas have been close

since they were kids,"

Helen's anxious gaze never left Xavier, who seemed unmoved. Yvette, on the other hand, couldn't help but think.

The Flynn family's coffers aren't as deep as they used to be. They've taken a hit from the Russell family and can't

just buy whatever they want anymore After a while of begging. Helen gave up on Xavier when he didn't budge.

Before Morgan could make another move, Yasmine tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Let her have it,

Morgan."

Yaurine could see Irene's desire and Yonas's indifference to the cost.

But what Yasmine wondered was if Yonas remembered the feeling of wanting to give her the pink diamond and

those bracelets, the eagerness to make someone happy-

Yasmine's heart ached as she watched Irene claim the purple diamond. Yonas, who'd once given her that pink

diamond, now stood by Irene's side. Xavier, seated behind Yasmine, noticed her distant stare at Yonas

Later, Yasmine had tuned out the rest of the auction. All she knew was that Morgan had won an antique brooch

for her, a piece fit for a 17th-century princess, but it felt like it belonged to Irene, who was eye-catching next to

Yonas.

Feeling increasingly restless, Yasmine handed her paddle to Morgan, patted Yoselin's hand, and said softly, "Hold

down the fort for a bit. I'us stepping out to the restroom"

In the restroom, Yasmine splashed cold water on her face, trying to clear her head. But the image of Yonas and

Irene, laughing and chatting. wouldn't fade. She felt a pang of jealousy and confusion. Why did Xavier and Yonas

both pushaway for other women? she wondered

Exiting the restroom, Yasmine leaned against the wall by the venue's entrance, reluctant to return. Every time

she sat down, she'd see Irene and

Yosas closeness.

"Why aren't you inside?" Xavier appeared, catching her off guard.

Yasmine managed a wry smile. "Just needed sair.

"What's going on with you and Yonas Xavier probed

Yasmine shook her head. "It is what it is"

Xavier could sense the tension, and so could Yvette and Helen.

"Did you two have a fight Xavier pursued.

Yasmine looked at him, puzzled. "Xavier, that's really none of your business. Your wife is probably in there, and it

wouldn't do for her to see this. | don't need more gossip.

Xavier felt a flash of embarrassment and anger. He handed her a handkerchief. | know you're hurting. We can still

As Xavier left, Yvette stepped out of the restroom, her eyes red. She watched Xavier go, realizing he could never

forget Yasmine and could never fully let her go.

Yvette knew Xavier's love for her had changed. Even when he was married to Yasmine, he'd been there for her

the moment she returned. But that reckless devotion was gone.

Yvette picked up her phone, looked at the photo she'd taken, and sent it to someone anonymously.
