Chapter 20
The surrounding people kept whispering. Some of them even blatantly looked at the place where the Ramos family was
“Oh, s hit. The Ramos family wanted to buy this necklace for Jessica. They bit the bullet and only dared to bid 14 million dollars, but the man. on the second floor directly bid 20 million dollars and auctioned the necklace for Ashley.”
“In comparison, the Ramos family is overrated!”
“D amn it. I just said that Ashley is no match for the fake darling of the Ramos family in fate. Unexpectedly, a mysterious big shot splurged 20 million dollars on that necklace for Ashley. It’s incredible…”
“If someone can spend 20 million dollars on me, I will laugh my head. off!” A woman stared in the direction of the private room on the second floor, and her face was full of longing. She envied Ashley.
Jealousy surged up in Jessica’s heart upon hearing these words.
Jessica thought, ‘Ashley… Ashley… That bi tch! Her family doesn’t love her. How can she upstage me?!
“Ashley has beaten me in every way since the dance competition.
‘And someone even spent 20 million dollars to buy a necklace for Ashley! Who is that person?”
Jessica clenched her hands into fists with her nails digging into her flesh. Her face was unprecedentedly gloomy
The expressions of Jeremy and Evan were not much better either.
Frankie’s expression didn’t change much, but he frowned and looked displeased.
Frankie thought, ‘Real darling or fake darling? The crowd’s discussions are a humiliation to the Ramos family Could it be that…my family really owes Ashley?”
In the private room on the second floor, Noah carefully put the gift box on the table and opened the lid. “Mr. Kingsley, Ms.copy right hot novel pub
Ramos, this is the necklace ‘Bluelove.”
Ashley looked at the necklace in the gift box. She still couldn’t come to

her senses.
She thought, Valentin spent so much money and gave me this necklace! Am I dreaming?”
Noah took out the contract for appointing Ashley as a senior appraiser and asked her to sign it.
After signing, Noah left proactively and waved to Tom beside him.
Tom also left the private room.
Only Ashley and Valentin were left there.
Ashley couldn’t wait to ask him with a puzzled look, “Are you serious? Why did you suddenly give me a gift?”
She thought, ‘What kind of gift should I give Valentin in return?”
It was past ten o’clock in the evening when the auction ended.
Valentin glanced at his wristwatch and asked Ashley, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”
Ashley was hungry. She touched her stomach and smiled, “Let’s go have some midnight snacks.”
They left the private room.
After taking only a few steps, Valentin’s mobile phone rang. It was something about work,
Ashley asked him to answer the phone while she walked around the corridor and appreciated the paintings hanging on the wall.
She watched these paintings and soon reached the stairs.
“Ashley!”
Someone called her, and the voice sounded quite angry.
Ashley turned around and saw Jeremy
Jeremy had already left, but the more he thought about today’s auction, the more angry he became, so he came to Ashley alone, wanting to teach her a lesson.
He rushed upstairs angrily. As soon as he reached the corner of the stairs, he saw Ashley standing at
e stairs and noticed the brilliant necklace
around her neck at a glance. He became even angrier.
“Ashley! Sure enough, you stole Jessica’s necklace!”
Ashley stood at the stairs, looking down at Jeremy. “Stole? Jessica’s
necklace? It’s mine.
You don’t have enough money to buy it for her in the
auction.”
This comment hit Jeremy right in the sore spot. He glared at Ashley as if he wanted to kill her right away.
“I warn you, Ashley. If you dare to bully Jessica again, I won’t let you go.”
Ashley’s eyes suddenly turned cold upon hearing this.
Jeremy’s face was livid, and his eyes were sharp. “Ashley, don’t blame me for neglecting brotherly affection. You are my biological sister, but Jessica is also
my sister.
“What’s more, Jessica had saved my life when I was in danger. What did you do at that moment? You ran away! On this point, you will never match her in my heart. She is better than you in every aspect!”
Jeremy yelled at Ashley, but Ashley’s expression did not change at all. She was calm and indifferent all the time.
Ashley snorted, “Jeremy, I have severed ties with the Ramos family a long time ago. You’d better remember this. Don’t ever say that I am your sister again. It’s disgusting.
“By the way, do you really believe Jessica was the one who saved you back then?”
