3/3 Deserted Wife Strikes Back Chapter 7 The Jerk Gets His Comeuppance Cecilias expression shifted slightly .
He really wasnt afraid to cause a serie .
Dominic looked at Alarics retreating figure with disdain and mutter , Just a prodigal son , Cecilia pressed her lips together .
Luckily , Dominie was so full of hilf that he probably never imagined she had any connection with Alaric .
But Cecilias lips culed into a sneer .
This so called prodigal son was someone Dominic couldnt handle no matter how hard he tried ! Lets go , Cecilia said , taking Dominics arm and heading into the banquet hall .
This time , back in the hall , Cecilia was noticeably more proactive .
She politely greeted and chatted with the guests , sipped her drink , and performed all those high society niceties with ease .
Dominic was taken aback by Cecilias change .
He couldnt help but dik , Cecilia , youve really changed a lot .
You used to be terrible at talking to strangers , but now youre handling it like a pro .
She smiled gracefully , Seeing how excellent you are , I realized I had to step up my game .
This was clearly a compliment to Dominic .
Dominics mood lifted , My silly girl , all my efforts are just to make your life better , isnt that right ? Cecilia smiled and said nothing .
Besides , seeing you learning to socialize makes me feel distressed .
* Tll act within my capabilities , Cecilia replied , really detesting his insincerity .
Fortunately , at that moment , the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed .
The main event of the night , the charity auction , was about to begin .
A man walked to the center of the stage , and a spotlight shone directly on him .
Hello , everyone ! Its a great honor to have you all here at Serenovia Citys annual Charity Banquet .
On behalf of Serenovia Citys charity organization , I appreciate your attendance … All eyes turned to him .
After the opening remarks , the auction began , with occasional whispers from the audience .

Dominic leaned over to Cecilia and asked , Is there anything you like ? Ill get it for you as a wedding gift .
Cecilias eyes sparkled .
She said , I heard tonights finale auction item is the sapphire from Queen Dianas crown from the 1980s .
Ive seen pictures ; its stunning .
Alright , Dominic agreed without hesitation .
In fact , he was a bit surprised .
Cecilia usually didnt care for these things , always pinching pennies for him .
He had already promised to bid on a bracelet for Eloise today , and now it was clear his budget was going to be stretched thin .
1/3 Chapter 7 The Jerk Gets His Comeuppance Cecilia pretended not to noiles Dominics thoughts and focused all Finally , it was time for the last auction item , attention on the stage .
The host introduced it with great fait , then struck the gavel , The sophire , starting at $ 700,000 , with increments of $ 10,000 ! Lets At the banquet , many people started bidding , 800,00 dollars !! 7000,000 dollars ! -950,000 dollars ! One million dollars ! In the darkness , a familiar male voice suddenly rang out .
Dominic was about to raise his hand but was momentarily stunned the sudden lilgh bid ..
Everyone froze at the sudden high bids being shouted .
They couldnt help but look at Alaric .
AL at this moment , Seraphina was also standing with Cecilia .
She couldnt help but say , Alaric is still so extravagants Hes just a trust fund baby .
Cant he do anything right ? Dominic sneered coldly , then raised his hand , Two million dollars ! His proud ego naturally didnt want to be outdone .
* 2.25 million dollars ! Alaric bid again .
Dominics face turned visibly unpleasant .
2.5 million dollars ! Dominic raised the bid .
million dollars ! Another jacked up price .
Alaric was clearly making Dominic look particularly stingy .
Dominics budget for tonight was only 1.5 million dollars , and he couldnt go beyond 2.5 million dollars at most .
At this moment … Many people were watching Dominic with amusement .
Recently , the Kingsley family was in financial trouble .
Dominic came to the charity auction to put on a front that the Kingsley family was still doing well , hoping to squash the rumors , and secure bank loans and investments from other businesses .
But now , with 3 million dollars , Dominic was in way over his head .
Dominic was holding back , his body trembling .
3 million dollars going once ! The host loudly reminded , seeing no one else bidding .
Dominic felt that Alaric didnt take him seriously 3 million dollars going twice ! The host spoke again .
* 3 million dollars , fair warning …… .
2/3 Chapter 7 The Jerk Gets His Comeuppance 3.5 million dollars Cecilia shddenly spoke up .
The crisp female vole caused a stir in the banquet hall Dominic didnt expect Cecilia to bid suddenly , He couldnt help but whisper , Alaric is clearly raising the price on prpose .
Dont fall for his tricks .
Cecilia acted as it she didnt hear him .
When Alaric bid 4.5 million dollars , and Cecilia was about to follow Dominic , in front of everyone , directly pulled Cecilias hand down .
Everyone saw it .
Dominic was indeed impulsive at that moment because he simply ce idnt afford it .
Facing everyones gaze , he didnt give Cecilia any explanation .
He said , Since Mr.
Whitaker likes it so much , well let him have it .
Alaric didnt appreciate it and directly exposed him , I heard this was a wedding gift from Mr.
Kingsley to Ms.
Lockhart .
Are you sure you dont want it ? Dominics face turned very unpleasant .
Alaric knew exactly what Dominic was doing and still deliberately rabed the price , totally disrespecting Dominic .
Alaric smiled faintly , his light and magnetic voice still very charming , Word on the street is that Mr.
Kingsley is head over heels for Ms.
Lockhart very much .
I thought raising the price would help Mr.
Kingsley express his love better .
Looks like I overstepped .
Love shouldnt be measured by money , Dominic said righteously .
Alaric laughed again and said , Mr.
Kingsley , you hit the nail on the head .
So , Mr.
Kingsley , are you sure you dont want it ? Sure .
Dominic cacted politely .
At that moment , Alaric seemed to glance at Cecilia .
Every time , Cecilia felt that Alaries gaze , though seemingly indifferent and casual , was incredibly powerful .
