His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 723

Ruby City would hold a charity auction twice yearly where most items, ranging from jewelry to antiques, were donated anonymously. There were no restrictions when it came to the auctioned items.

On such events, besides people who were here to build a reputation for themselves, some were here to coax their wives or lovers. Elizabeth had her eyes on one of the necklaces a long time ago. It was a tear-drop-shaped sapphire pendant surrounded by many small diamonds, making it look dazzling under the light.

After being with Joseph for so many years, she naturally had no shortage of jewelry. However, Elizabeth's eyes burned with jealousy after seeing a big pink diamond necklace on Eloise the one time she attended an event with Joseph.

Since then, Elizabeth had been bugging Joseph to get her a more fabulous necklace. Although he agreed, he could not find a suitable one and pushed this matter aside.

However, this was a thorn in Elizabeth's heart. If she could not be "Mrs. Tanner," she would have to be compensated in other manners. She had to be better than that woman in all the other aspects. Ultimately, she managed to badger Joseph to agree to take her to this auction.

Feigning pity, she cried about how it had not been easy for her to follow him around for so many years yet never had the opportunity to go to events like these. All this while, she could only watch him bring his wife to countless events and occasions while she stayed in the shadows. It was pitiful, indeed!

As she cried, using her son as persuasion, Joseph finally softened and agreed to bring her.

It was not like his wife did not know about this. It was a publicized thing. If it were not for the law, he would have brought Elizabeth home to live with him.

What was the big deal of having another woman in the house?

Elizabeth was onto something today. She needed to get that necklace at the auction tonight to spite that woman. With the latest dress, she was glowing as she arrived at the auction center around Joseph's arms, looking triumphant.

Everyone around noticed the couple. Although they realized it was a different woman in his arms, it was not unusual for this circle. No one dared to say much as they politely complimented the woman with him.
