Billionaire’s Mistress

Myrna’s POV

Although I tried my best to hide it, I still felt the fleeting disappointment in Edmund’s eyes.

But I have no time to care about his feelings now. The auction is about to start, and my heart is very nervous.

I know that Edmund and Leanna are a couple. In order to help me marry Edmund, he has caused the current situation. I know Edmund won’t divorce me, so I asked Jens to pretend to be my boyfriend. Then I can divorce Edmund and let him pursue his own happiness. To his surprise, Jens owed ten million dollars to the well-known Royston.

Jens’ mother was diagnosed with leukemia and he owed so much money. I wanted to help him, but I didn’t have so much money. In order to hide it from my parents, I had to ask my friend to sell the belongings that grandma left to me first and then make money to redeem them.

The bracelet grandma gave me will appear at the auction tonight. If it is recognized, I really don’t know how to explain.

The auction was about to begin.

Since our seats have been arranged beforehand, as soon as we entered the venue, a waiter guided us directly to the seats in the first row.

After I sat down, I suddenly found a familiar figure sitting on the chair next to Edmund’s seat on my left.

Royston?

It was him. How could it be such a coincidence?

He was also here.

What if he finds out?

Turning my head to look at Leanna on the right, I pretended to be chatting with her, but my eyes were still fixed on her, trying to see if she had discovered me.

The auction officially began.

At the beginning of the auction, there were several antiques, paintings and calligraphy works. The rich people all spent a lot of money to buy their favorite paintings.

However, Royston didn’t take any action. The atmosphere at the auction became heated.

Edmund also sat on the chair steadily without raising his card.

After the auction of the eighth antique, the auctioneer began to introduce the ninth one.

The ritual girl came up with a transparent glass box, in which there was a glittering jade bracelet.

It could be seen from a distance that this jade bracelet was very valuable.

The auctioneer said in a sonorous and powerful voice, “the starting price of this jade bracelet you see now is 1 million. The bidding price is one hundred thousand every time. Please bid.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Eugene raised the card in his hand.

“One million and one hundred thousand. A gentleman in the front row has bid.”

I didn’t expect that Eugene, who had been sitting there quietly, would be interested in her bracelet. I was surprised.

I took a look at Leanna and found that Leanna was lowering her head. what she was thinking. Obviously, she wasn’t interested in the auction.

At first, I thought Leanna knew that the bracelet was mine, so I asked Eugene to raise the price to ten million to solve my pressing problem.

But now it seemed that this was not the case.

Leanna didn’t know it was mine.

Then why did Eugene buy my bracelet?

Then, more and more people bid, and the price of the jade bracelet instantly soared to two million.

Royston raised his hand and said, “three million.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there were surprised sounds coming from around.

“It turns out that Royston is here for this bracelet.”

“Forget it. Although the bracelet is good, if Royston wants it, just give it to him. We can’t take it from him.”

Hearing the discussions around me, my heart suddenly trembled.

What was going on?

Why did he want this bracelet?

If no one dares to bid again at this rate, how can I get ten million?

Just as everyone was talking about it and no one continued to bid, Edmund, who was beside him, raised the card in his hand and said, “three million and one hundred thousand.”

Everyone exclaimed at the same time.

I’m so depressed that I want to cry. I don’t know why everyone is interested in my bracelet today?

I just want to sell ten million to save her first, and then find a way to redeem the bracelet.

But if this bracelet was in the hands of any one of the three people, Edmund, Royston or Eugene, things would be very troublesome.

When Royston heard Edmund raise the paddle, he frowned slightly and turned to look at us.

He looked at the auctioneer on the stage and raised his hand slightly.

“Mr. Royston offers three million and two hundred thousand. Three million two hundred thousands, three million two hundred thousand…”

“Three million and three hundred thousand.” Eugene interrupted the auctioneer.

Hearing this, the assistant of Royston was about to raise her hand and continue the bidding, but was stopped by Royston. “No, thanks.”

He stood up calmly and walked towards the gate without any hesitation.

The assistant followed him immediately.

Seeing him stand up, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

My palms were sweating because of nervousness, but now I felt sticky.

“Edmund, I need to go to the bathroom.” I whispered in Edmund’s ear. Then I stood up from my seat and turned to the bathroom outside the venue.

When I came out of the bathroom and was about to go back to the venue, I suddenly found that Royston also came to the bathroom. We met at the door.

When I saw Royston, my face turned pale with fear.

The two seats were so close to each other that he didn’t even see her. But now i met him here.

I really don’t know what kind of tragedy it is.

With a long face, I want to pretend that I don’t know him and leave him.

But as soon as she lifted her foot, she heard his low voice from the side, “Miss Fisher, long time no see.”

The corner of my mouth twitched. I haven’t seen you for a long time. I just saw you yesterday.

“Mr. Royston, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect you to be here.” A smile appeared on my face, which was uglier than crying.

“No, I’m here to find… Miss Fisher.” He looked at me expressionlessly.

What? Are you here for me?

That is to say, he had already found me at the party.

So I pretended for a long time and didn’t avoid his eyes at all?

“But there is one thing that surprised me. Miss Fisher is the wife of Mr. Edmund. I remember that when we met yesterday, I heard from Jens that you are his girlfriend.” He looked at me playfully.

Hearing what he said, I felt bad.

If my relationship with Jens is exposed to the public, the world will be in chaos.

Although I invited Jens to play my boyfriend and let Edmund divorce me.

But I never intend to expose it to the public. My plan is that Edmund knows the existence of Jens and thinks that he is a reliable man. They two divorce secretly without disturbing anyone, so that he can get Leanna back without worries. In this way, in the eyes of outsiders and the Fisher family, I am still the wife of Edmund, and I can guarantee that my interests in the Fisher family will not be violated.

But now that Royston knows that I’m Edmund’s wife, things become more complicated.

” It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Mr. Royston. Mr. Royston just wants money, right? Don’t worry. I’ll return the money to you after today. People like Mr. Royston should know what privacy is and won’t go out to talk nonsense, right?” I looked at Royston and pretended to be calm.

“Miss Fisher, what kind of person do you think I am?” He smiled.

“He has status, status, knowledge and self-control…” I almost used all the compliments to flatter him.

But before I could finish my words, the assistant behind Royston couldn’t help laughing.

Hearing the laughter, Royston frowned slightly and turned to his assistant. The assistant was frightened and quickly stopped smiling and stood there seriously.

“I didn’t expect Miss Fisher to be such a good flatterer.” He stopped smiling and looked at me with his deep eyes. “But you should know that it’s useless to me.”

“…”? Did he mean that he could say whatever he wanted to say to others?

Taking a deep breath, I still wore a smile on my face and looked at him with a good temper. “Well, I don’t know how to make you keep the secret, Mr. Royston.”

“Well…” he paused for a moment and then said, “it depends on my mood.”

“It depends on his mood?”? So there is no need to talk about it?

No, she had to make him shut up.

When I was about to say something, I saw Eugene walking towards me from the front.

What the hell? Why did he go to the bathroom?

If he saw me talking with Royston for such a long time, he would doubt me.

I turned around in a hurry and didn’t dare to let Eugene see my face.

“Mr. Royston.” The voice came from the front before Eugene came over.

When I heard the voice, I felt terrible. It seemed that the person was coming to say hello to Royston. Regardless of anything else, a bright smile immediately appeared on my face. Deliberately shrieking my throat, I opened my arms and rushed to Royston. “Honey, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Why does it take so long to go to the bathroom?”

After a moment of shock, he quickly came to his senses.

His handsome eyebrows frowned slightly. He held my arms, as if trying to push me away from him.

“Please, help me. I can’t let Eugene see me here…” I felt his intention and looked at him pleadingly, looking pitiful.

He stared at me quietly for a few seconds, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his originally cold face.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and soon a faint cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was saying, why should I save you?

I know I’m completely in his hands this time.

The man in front didn’t want to save me, so Eugene slowed down and seemed to be considering whether to come up or not.

Forget it. If Royston doesn’t help me, even if Eugene doesn’t find out today, he might talk about my “cheating on you” to others next time.

Gritting my teeth, I braced myself and slowly regained my balance from him.

Turning around, raising my feet, I lowered my head, ready to leave my miserable fate to God.

However, I heard Royston’s attractive voice, “what’s wrong? Can’t you wait for me to go to the bathroom?”

Did I hear it wrong?

Royston saved me.

What’s more, such ambiguous words sounded reasonable at the moment.

As he spoke, he hugged me tightly.

I leaned against his chest and heard his strong heartbeat. “Plop, plop, plop…”

The faint smell of tobacco, which was very suitable for his temperament, floated into my nose, making me instantly calm down and particularly relieved.

Royston turned to look at Eugene and said with a smile, “Oh, it’s Mr. Eugene. What’s up?”

“Now that Mr. Royston is holding a beautiful woman, I won’t disturb you. I hope I can have a drink with you and have a chat with you next time.”

“It’s my honor. I’m leaving now!”

After saying that, Royston held me in his arms and went straight to the elevator in front of them.

After entering the elevator and closed the door, Royston let go of his hands around my waist and asked, “are you done?”

At this moment, I was still immersed in the dangerous scene just now. Before I could react, when I heard the voice of Royston, my expression quickly changed. My whole body trembled, and I quickly pulled the intimate distance between him and stood straight.

“Thank… Thank you…” I stammered, and my face flushed with embarrassment.

When I looked up, I found that there were only two of us in the elevator.

“Where is your… Assistant?” I asked curiously.

Why didn’t he go into the elevator with us?

“I don’t like more than three people in the elevator.” He said lightly.

“Well, I’ll get off the elevator on the next floor. I can’t go now.” It suddenly occurred to me that Edmund was still at the party upstairs. What would happen if I left like this?

“Okay. You can go upstairs now. I think you can meet your uncle.” He kindly reminded.

I can’t help but curl my lips secretly. I don’t like the way he talked to others.

The elevator went down. In the narrow space, I didn’t talk to him anymore.

I can feel the powerful aura from him. The more silent he is, the stronger the aura will be.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

the elevator door opened and the underground two floor parking lot arrived.

Royston glanced at me and said in a low voice, “well, let’s drop it here.”

“…” who came to see him off?

he was really good at putting on airs.

I watched him walk out of the elevator speechlessly and quickly closed the door.

This weird man was really hard to understand.
