Rachel Shaw and Nina Sumrs smirked, and the mont the water fell, Nina quickly shouted, "Haven’t you all been wanting to see The Great Auctioneer Zinnia’s true face? Look! This is her true face, she’s a freak!"
Nina’s voice was sharp, but the next mont...
"Oh my god, she’s... so... so beautiful!"
"So Zinnia the Auctioneer looks like this, so beautiful!"
"Is this the face that the millionaire who spent Ten Million couldn’t see? No wonder, she’s stunning!"
Beautiful?
Pretty?
How could a face that’s not dared to be shown be beautiful?
Seeing everyone’s amazed expressions, Rachel Shaw and Nina Sumrs realized sothing, and hurriedly looked toward the people on the podium.
The woman fell onto the ground, drenched all over, even her hair was let down.
Her face was covered in water, but the water hadn’t washed away her makeup.
The mont Rachel Shaw truly saw the woman’s face, it was as if she was hit on the head, her pupils dilated instantly, and she even forgot to breathe.
Even more so for Nina Sumrs.
Ivy Sumrs braced herself on the ground, brushed aside her hanging hair, and looked up, her icy, lethal stare falling on Rachel Shaw in front.
That gaze seed to freeze Rachel Shaw entirely.
Rachel Shaw forgot to breathe, continuously shaking her head.
How could it be?
How could it be like this?
Zinnia’s face was clearly Ivy Sumrs!
Zinnia was Ivy Sumrs!
Recalling their first eting, when Zinnia refused to return to the country with her, and pulled her wrist to question the bracelet’s origins, later Ivy Sumrs was taken back to the hotel by Damien Lancaster, and later when Ivy Sumrs returned to the country, Zinnia appeared dostically.
She had thought it was just a coincidence.
How is that a coincidence!
It’s clearly the sa person.
No wonder, no wonder Damien Lancaster often gazed at Zinnia in a daze, no wonder he often went to the auction house, no wonder he would take a picture of himself putting a ring on her.
Damien Lancaster had long known Zinnia’s true identity, he did all this just for one person, Ivy Sumrs!
Rachel Shaw stood there as if petrified, a gust of wind brushed past her side, and the man already strode onto the podium.
Damien Lancaster’s face was taut, he took off his coat and covered Ivy Sumrs with it, her fitted cheongsam already clung to her skin after being soaked, revealing her graceful and proud curves in full view.
Damien Lancaster’s sharp gaze swept across the audience staring at Ivy Sumrs, "What are you all looking at! Close your eyes!"
Everyone instinctively withdrew their gazes.
Damien Lancaster tried to lift Ivy Sumrs up, but Ivy Sumrs pushed him away.
Damien Lancaster’s coat draped over Ivy Sumrs’ shoulders, she stood up, her gaze locked on the two won.
She indeed didn’t know that tonight these two had prepared such a big surprise for her!
Ivy Sumrs stepped towards the two, her face cold and expressionless, yet it chilled people to their core.
Staring at them for a while, she lightly parted her thin lips and asked, "Are you satisfied with what you see?"
Rachel Shaw gritted her teeth, her eyes wanting to pierce through Ivy Sumrs.
"Ivy Sumrs! It’s you! It’s actually you!"
Why! Why! Why is it Ivy Sumrs everywhere!
Ivy Sumrs shifted her gaze to Nina Sumrs, who was shaking all over and too shocked to utter a word.
How could there be a trap on the ceiling, how could a bucket of water fall, it was clearly soone deliberately designing it.
And who was the designer?
The mont the water fell, it was Nina Sumrs who shouted the loudest.
In an instant, everyone present seed to understand everything.
Keith Chambers walked up quickly from behind, his face already looking terribly grim.
Clearly, he figured out who did it.
Even worse, the woman whose veil was lifted was Ivy Sumrs.
Damien Lancaster had just bought a ring worth two hundred million and put it on her, proving his seriousness about this woman.
This woman had Damien Lancaster, and behind her was a big boss not to be provoked.
Keith Chambers felt it was all over, "President Lancaster, Zinnia... no, Miss Sumrs, I’m really sorry, this..."
Damien Lancaster held Ivy Sumrs by the arm and pulled her into his embrace, his terrifying gaze swept over and landed on Keith Chambers, "When I co back, I hope you give a reasonable explanation."
After saying this, Damien Lancaster picked up Ivy Sumrs and swiftly left.
Even though the banquet hall was air-conditioned, being soaked still felt cold.
Damien Lancaster took Ivy Sumrs to a lounge.
There were clothes for Ivy Sumrs in the lounge, and Damien Lancaster took off the suit jacket draped over Ivy Sumrs, tossing it aside, Ivy Sumrs brushed his hand away, "I’ll change myself, you go out."
Damien Lancaster looked at her and turned to leave.
Ivy Sumrs braced herself on the table with both hands, sighed, her gaze falling on the ring on her finger. The ring shimred, a ring like this should be every woman’s dream.
Ivy Sumrs had once passionately pursued a diamond ring representing love, but at that ti Damien Lancaster didn’t give her one.
She rembered the ring she got when she married Damien Lancaster was chosen by Old Master Lancaster, that diamond ring was also invaluable but had no aning.
After her mother’s death, she stopped wearing it.
That ring was also thrown out the window the mont she decided to abort the child, disappearing without a trace.
Ivy Sumrs was a bit stubborn, her hands used force together, trying to remove the ring from her finger.
But her fingers were red and swollen, and she couldn’t do it.
Ivy Sumrs gave up, changed into another set of clothes, and the door was pushed open.
Startled, Ivy Sumrs watched as Damien Lancaster approached, rolling up his sleeves, bringing over a towel to dry her hair.
His actions were swift yet gentle. Ivy Sumrs pushed him away with force, grabbing the towel, "I have my own hands."
Damien Lancaster’s eyebrows furrowed as he noticed her red finger where she wore the ring, she obviously tried to remove it earlier.
But failed.
"It’s just a ring, Ivy Sumrs, is there a need to resist so much?"
Ivy Sumrs paused her actions, raising her hand to display the ring, "What does this ring represent?"
Damien Lancaster pressed his lips tightly together.
"Can’t you say it out loud?"
"Damien Lancaster, you whimsically put a ring on , but you can’t say what it represents."
Damien Lancaster frowned, "Don’t you get it yet?"
"What should I get?"
"I don’t want to lose you, you can only be mine, no one else is allowed to covet you."
Ivy Sumrs scoffed coldly, angrily questioning, "So this ring is your mark on , telling others that I belong to you, is that it?"
"You originally are mine."
Ivy Sumrs’ fury was ignited once again, "Your actions tonight pushed into the eye of the storm, and so did your damn fiancée."
Ivy Sumrs could tell with her toes that tonight’s events were orchestrated by Nina Sumrs and Rachel Shaw.
They wanted her to make a fool of herself on the spot.
If she really had turned out to be the grotesque monster they wished for, tonight’s outco would have been different.
At this mont, she would be standing under the spotlight, drenched, being utterly humiliated by everyone.
Ivy Sumrs had planned to finish work early and go ho today, but everything turned into a ss.
Damien Lancaster realized that Ivy Sumrs was really angry, so he stepped forward and apologized, "Okay, I was wrong. I won’t do it next ti. I’m sorry. Please forgive , okay?"
Ivy Sumrs was too annoyed to speak, so she pushed Damien Lancaster away and went to find a hairdryer to dry her hair.
Damien Lancaster held onto her hairdryer, and Ivy Sumrs did not hand it over. The two stubbornly clashed.
Joy Quinn hurried in to find Ivy Sumrs, and just as she was about to call out "Zinnia," she saw the stalemate in the lounge.
Joy Quinn paused in the doorway, and only when Ivy Sumrs noticed her did she let go.
Damien Lancaster successfully gained control of the hairdryer and gently dried her hair.
Joy Quinn was unsure whether to enter until Ivy Sumrs called her, and then she walked over.
Joy Quinn looked at the woman sitting in front of the makeup mirror, who had removed her makeup and whose face was bare, with ssy hair scattered around, but this didn’t affect her beauty in the slightest.
Joy Quinn wasn’t a fool. Having been by Ivy Sumrs’ side and seeing the people she interacted with, she had long known she wasn’t an ordinary person. Soone with such a confident and cool temperant couldn’t possibly be the monster they spoke of.
But she didn’t expect her to be Damien Lancaster’s ex-wife, Ivy Sumrs!
Joy Quinn secretly glanced at the man who was carefully drying her hair. Ivy Sumrs looked agitated, while the man was focused on his task.
Joy Quinn blinked, "Zinnia... there’s a problem in the banquet hall. Do you want to take a look?"
"What’s the problem?"
"You might understand if you go take a look."
Joy Quinn didn’t know how to describe the scene.
Ivy Sumrs tried to stand up, but Damien Lancaster pressed her shoulders, "Dry your hair first."
...
At the center of the banquet hall stood a large transparent water tank, and inside was a woman struggling.
The guests hadn’t left yet, but no one dared to speak up.
The woman in the water tank was constantly hitting the tank, trying to call for help and escape.
But how could she possibly break the thick glass with her hands?
By the ti Ivy Sumrs arrived, this was the scene she saw; the crowd held their breath, while a man lounged carelessly on a sofa, holding his head, his handso face full of indifference and laziness.
The person in the water tank was Nina Sumrs.
Rachel Shaw was nowhere to be found, while beside the man was an anxious Keith Chambers, who kept pleading, "Lord Scott, if this continues, she’ll die. I beg you, please spare her this once, please!"
Noah Scott chuckled, "I hear she’s your girlfriend?"
Keith Chambers didn’t dare to deny it, knowing full well that Noah Scott’s question left no room for refusal.
"Yes..."
"Do you feel sorry for her?"
Keith Chambers was full of despair; he had warned Nina Sumrs.
But she wouldn’t listen.
"Lord Scott, I’m begging you..."
"But I also feel sorry for my woman." Noah Scott picked up a glass next to him, took a sip, ignored Keith Chambers’ pleas, and continued to watch the person struggling in the water tank with great interest.
They might not have known that Noah Scott watched every auction by Ivy Sumrs, so the mont she was knocked over by water, he showed up.
Ivy Sumrs stepped forward, her clear, bright eyes sweeping over the water tank.
Keith Chambers imdiately appealed, "Miss Sumrs, I know Nina is your cousin. Can you plead for her? If this continues, she’ll really die!"
Ivy Sumrs looked at Noah Scott.
Noah Scott also looked at her, curled his lips, "How is it? Does it help you vent your anger?"
"Yes, but it’ll kill soone."
"Your happiness is what matters most."
Ivy Sumrs went to the water tank, where Nina Sumrs was still thrashing vigorously. It seed she hadn’t been in there long.
Seeing Ivy Sumrs, Nina Sumrs continuously hit the water tank, opening her mouth to call for help, only to end up gulping down a lot of water.
Ivy Sumrs looked at Yanis Stone beside her, "Get her out of there."
Yanis Stone glanced at Noah Scott.
Noah Scott nodded, and Yanis Stone pulled Nina Sumrs out.
Nina Sumrs collapsed on the ground, clutching her chest, coughing violently. She raised her head, tears mixed with snot, her hair like a ghost’s covering her face.
Ivy Sumrs squatted in front of her, "Was it fun?"
Nina Sumrs gritted her teeth, "Ivy Sumrs, you bitch, you’re just relying on... relying on having a man to back you up... cough cough cough..."
After a bout of violent coughing, Nina Sumrs saw Keith Chambers bowing and scraping for her in the water tank, but she wasn’t moved by it.
She even thought Keith Chambers was useless, unable to save her and back her up like the man next to Ivy Sumrs.
She felt it was unfair!
And she hated Ivy Sumrs even more!
"Throw her back." At Noah Scott’s word, Nina Sumrs was thrown back into the water tank.
Ivy Sumrs knew it wasn’t just her doing this tonight, but also Rachel Shaw.
Ivy Sumrs scanned the nervous and frightened crowd, wanting to find Rachel Shaw.
In the next second, she saw Julian Jacobs dragging soone back, bringing her in front of Damien Lancaster, "Sir, just now, Miss Shaw tried to leave without saying goodbye, so I brought her back."
Damien Lancaster stared at her coldly, "You were involved, right?"
Rachel Shaw shook her head, "No! It had nothing to do with this ti, really!"
Noah Scott laughed and made a gesture, and Nina Sumrs was pulled out again, bringing a lot of water with her. She lay on the ground, her breathing much weaker.
Ivy Sumrs looked at Nina Sumrs, "Was it you and Rachel Shaw who did this?"
Nina Sumrs struggled to lift her head, looking at Rachel Shaw.
Rachel Shaw glared at Nina Sumrs with wide eyes, as if warning her.
Keith Chambers anxiously urged, "Speak up, didn’t Miss Shaw co looking for you today? Wasn’t it her who told you to do this?"
Nina Sumrs looked at Rachel Shaw again.
Rachel Shaw shook all over and shouted, "Nina Sumrs, think carefully before you speak. Did I tell you to do it?"
Nina Sumrs couldn’t afford to provoke any of them here. She bit her teeth, unable to say that Rachel Shaw made her do it.
Because the idea was hers, and she executed it. Rachel Shaw indeed did not participate.
If she pointed out Rachel Shaw, it wouldn’t save her and would just add more resentnt.
Nina Sumrs didn’t know what to do, "I... she didn’t... tell to do it, I did it myself..."
Ivy Sumrs raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure?"
Nina Sumrs’ face was soaked, she looked up at Ivy Sumrs, "I did it alone because I hate you for taking my position... Ivy Sumrs, I didn’t know it was you before, now I know it’s you, I hate you even more! Why are you better than at everything, why?"
"You all heard, right? You all heard, right? It has nothing to do with , it was her alone." Rachel Shaw quickly looked at Damien Lancaster to prove and distance herself.
