Chapter 5

Chloe’s eyes widened in disbelief.

With the strike of the auctioneer’s gavel:

"Sold for one million dollars! Congratulations to the lady in the front."

The spotlight fell on me.

Chloe couldn't take it anymore and stormed out.

"Fine, Marcus! Since you care so much about her, don't you ever talk to me again!"

I didn't expect Marcus to take my side this time.

But that was all it was.

There was no warmth in my heart, no gratitude.

He owed me this.

In all our years of marriage, I had never gotten anything from him.

I had even poured my own money and my mother's inheritance into his business.

But now, I had left with nothing. Even the one million dollars to buy back the necklace was borrowed from a friend.

Since he was so heartless.

He shouldn't blame me for what was to come.

The auction reached its final item.

At some point, Chloe and Marcus returned to their seats.

Chloe shot me a provocative look.

I had a bad feeling.

The auctioneer on stage announced excitedly:

"Next up is our grand finale!"

"We have 99 private, intimate photos of the former A-list actress and ex-wife of the CEO of Marcus Enterprises, Hazel!"

The crowd gasped.

They began whispering and commenting on the revealing photos displayed on the screen.

"Oh my god, is this allowed?"

"They call it private photos, but isn't she just loose to take these kinds of pictures?"

"Look, there's even an intimate nursing photo... Wow, she's gorgeous. No wonder Marcus kept wanting her back after the divorce..."

"Look at that look on her face. I bet there's a wild story behind their constant divorces!"

Although the sensitive parts were blurred, the censorship only made people’s imaginations run wild.

The disgusting murmurs of the crowd filled my ears.

My fists clenched so tightly my nails dug into my palms. My face turned pale.
