That was the reason Clare had to buy it?
When she heard Isaac's words, Skyla snapped out of her shock, herface froze, and she stared incredulously at the ruby, which was crystalclear in the light.
Her face was white inch by inch and her heart was pounding.
No ... No, how could that ruby be the property of Hipps family? Itbelonged to the young lady of Hipps family? How was that possible?No ... Impossible!
Isaac must have been wrong.
Tammy was also stunned that her mother didn't know about the ruby.What did that mean? Did it mean that her mother was not the younglady of Hipps family?
A terrible thought crept into her mind.
Could ... her mother be an impostor?
That meant that her mother was not the young lady of Hipps family?No, definitely not.
Tammy looked at Skyla with a pale face, biting her lower lip.
Everyone in the room was staring at Clare, trying to get the truth out ofhim, to know where the ruby came from.
Tiffany never thought that a ruby would be auctioned for $20 million.What was the secret on Monica?
Mr. Carr said that the ruby was a ruby that only the Hipps familydeserved to have ...
But Monica was clearly one of the Evans family.
This ...
Tiffany stood on the auction stage with her head in a tizzy.
Her mind went blank, almost forgetting exactly where she was andwhat she was doing.
She didn't come to life until Neve rushed up to the stage, grabbed theruby and said with a pale face, "We're not auctioning off this ruby."Clare frowned and stared at her closely, "All the lots are signed on, andyou regret auctioning it now?"
“It's not for sale. She stole this ruby from her grandfather for fun, and itcannot be sold ..."
Neve grasped the ruby in his hand, his face looking terrible.
"Mr. Hipps, this ruby means everything to the old Evans... You can't buyit. You can't buy it."
“The rules of the auction are not up to you Evans family.” Clare reachedout and grabbed the ruby from Neve's hand, then stared fixedly at her,"Calling once; Calling twice; Sold!"
"No one offers a higher price. It's mine.” A hint of dominance surfacedon Clare's ever gentle face as he held the ruby in his palm, and beforehe could survey the ruby, Neve lunged towards him, trying to snatch itagain.
Clare stepped back and dodged her.
Neve lunged, her eyes red, "It doesn't matter if it belonged to yourHipps family or not before, but now it belongs to the Evans family. Mr.Hipps, please return it."
Clare swept her up with a mocking glance, took out a bank carddirectly, and swiped it to pay the ruby.
Neve and Tiffany just watched him spend $20 million!
"Now that I've paid for it, it's mine!" Clare smiled coldly, "I just want toknow now why this ruby ended up in your Evans family. Think youdeserve it?"
The Hipps family had always done things in a low-profile manner, andthis was the first time that Clare, as the heir, had humiliated anotherfamily so emotionally in public.
Instantly everyone felt it was an eye-opening experience. Master Clarewould also be so excited.
It seemed that this ruby really had an unusual origin.
"Why are our Evans not worthy of it? Clare, don't be too far."
Neve growled angrily.
"Shut up!"
Suddenly!
An old and frail voice rang out from the entrance of the auction hall.Everyone could not help but look over towards the door, only to see theold Evans wearing a gray suit and being helped by the housekeeper,towards the auction stage.
Seeing the old Evans suddenly appear, Tiffany instantly went pale."Grandpa ..."
She just took two steps forward, ready to meet them.
The old Evans raised his hand and slapped her, causing her face to tiltto the side.
A trace of blood seeped from the corner of her lips, Tiffany lookingwretched.
Tiffany reached up in humiliation and covered her face, "Grandpa ...You..."
She looked at the old Evans with tears in her eyes and an incredibleglint in her eyes.
She only felt a hot pain in her face. She was slapped by the old Evansin front of so many bigwigs. She really wished the floor would open upand swallow her.
As soon as Neve saw her daughter being beaten, she anxiously heldTiffany who was trembling, then looked angrily at the old Evans, "Dad,let's talk properly. How can you hit Tiffany?"
"Look what a good daughter you've raised!" the old Evans yelled inanger, "This ruby is Monica's personal belongings. I have beencarefully treasured it. I thought that I would return it to Sylvia after mydeath. How dare you steal this ruby and put it up for auction!"
“You are so justified in stealing from others. How despicable you are! Idon't have children like you in the Evans family!"
The old Evans was so angry that his chest rose and fell, and he was sofurious that he could not wait to strangle Tiffany on the spot.
"Monica, the owner of this ruby is Monica?" Clare stared at the oldEvans in shock, "Is Monica the daughter of the Evans family thatamazed the whole Larro back then?"
Hearing this name, many of the bigwigs in the audience all widenedtheir eyes in shock.
The Evans family had a talented young daughter called Monica, whowas famous in Larro ... But then she disappeared, and then ... theyheard that she died.
Since then, the name Monica had never been mentioned in Larro.Now she was suddenly mentioned. Some older could not help butbegin to reminisce, "Back then, Monica is stunningly perfect. She's notonly beautiful and elegant, but has a great talent in the piano, chess,calligraphy and painting.”
"The entire building of Crown Techs Group was designed for us by MissMonica back then. The interior was also designed by Miss Monica. She... is really a genius!"
Adriel couldn't help but sigh, it was a pity she was gone so young!
The Evans family was thriving thanks to Monica!
Only Sylvia sat silently in her seat, her calm face betrayed a touch ofpallor.
Her mother’s kind face came into her mind.
She sat there, but it was as if everything around her was far away fromher, her eyes and heart were occupied by her mother's face.Suddenly, a warm hand took hold of her cold hand, and the man'smagnetic familiar voice rang out with concern, "Why is your hand socold?"
She woke up like a dream and took a deep breath, "It's nothing. I justmiss my mother a little.”
At this time, the old Evans looked at Clare with an apologetic face afterscolding Neve and Tiffany. “Mr. Hipps, this ruby is my youngestdaughter's relic. I hope you can return it to me."
