Marry My Ex’s Uncle After Rebirth by Agatha Barney

Chapter 101

Everyone in the auction hall was shocked by the dramatic scene.

Stephanie smiled playfully as she looked at Lenora.

Tears welled up in Lenora’s eyes. “It really hurts. Let go of mel

“She truly is a match for Florence. They’re prime pretentious b**s, thought Stephanie,

“I’m afraid if I let go, you’ll fall over. Look at how considerate I am.” Stephanie raised her eyebrows. “I didn’t expect I’d have a junior out of nowhere.”

Lenora knew that Stephanie did it on purpose. The two paintings were almost sold for 40 million dollars just now.

She despised Stephanie, who was an obstacle on her road to riches. After what happened today, Lenora would be blacklisted by the appraisal industry.

The smile on Stephanie’s face faded away. “You’re a shameless s**g How dare you claim that you’re Mr. Zachmann’s protégé?”

She looked at Nathan and asked, “The buyer almost lost 40 million dollars today. How are you going to deal with it?”

Nathan did not expect there would be such a huge mess today.

On the one hand, he hated Stephanie. Why did she expose the fraud in public?

If the matter was sealed privately, even compensating the buyer with more money would be fine. Now that it was publicly exposed, Timeless Treasures Auction House’s reputation was ruined.

On the other hand, he hated Lenora for lying about being Ronan’s protégé and selling lakes behind his back.

Nathan declared, “Our auction house will never condone this! Although it’s Lenora’s personal conduct, we are responsible for it. So I will sue Lenora in the name of Timeless Treasures Auction House and compensate Ms. Jimenez for her m e n t a

l distress during this auction.”

Lenora was flustered and said, “I just made a mistake. Mr. Ross, please don’t sue me!”

Nathan snorted. “Just wait and see!”

“No way!” Stephanie was holding one of her wrists, so Lenora tried to grab Stephanie’s face with her other hand.

Madeline had keen eyes and quickly grabbed Lenora’s other wrist to prevent her from committing murder.

“Gio, restrain her,” ordered Stephanie.

“Got it, Boss!” Giovanni pulled Lenora from them and restrained her.

“Stephanie and Madeline smiled at each other, Then, Stephanie turned to Nathan and asked, “How are you going to compensate Ms. Jimenez for her

al distress?”

Just as the auctioneer was about to endure the pain of paying 200 thousand dollars in compensation, Stephanie said, “25% of the auction item” transaction price will be deducted as commission, so 25% of 40 million dollars is 10 million dollars. If you’re being sincere, you should compensate this much.”

Nathan was speechless

Stephanie chuckled when she saw the corners of Nathan’s mouth twitch. “Mr. Ross seems to think monetary compensation is too tacky, so he’ll

compensate with the next item, Our friends and audience here and in front of the TV are watching Timeless Treasures Auction House has been in business for 30 years, but it’s made plenty of money,” she said.

Nathan gritted his teeth and nodded in fear of making a scene. “I’m truly sorry for what happened here today. The next item on auction is a 17.5-carat ruby and diamond ring with a starting price of 4 million dollars. Ms. Jimenez, you can choose this item or the 10 million dollar transfer from the auction

house.”

Madeline turned to Stephanie, looking for advice.

Stephanie asked Nathan to bring the next item.

Soon, a staff member came up with a tray. After examining the ring, Stephanie said, “Rubies represent love, passion, power, and dignity. They’re naturally fluorescent due to the rich chromium, iron, and other trace elements in the gemstone. This ruby’s red color isn’t pure, so Madeline, I suggest you take the cash compensation.”

Madeline nodded and agreed, “I’ll listen to you, Stephie.”

The sound of the nickname “Stephie” brought the two of them closer.

With a bright smile, Stephanie put the two paintings back into the box and handed them to Madeline. “Madeline, this is a birthday gift from the Fletcher family for Mrs. Jimenez. I wish her a happy birthday in advance.”

Madeline did not expect Stephanie would give such precious paintings to the Jimenez family. When she was about to refuse, Stephanie said, “Give them to her. The four paintings are a complete set, like a fulfilling and complete life.”

The sincerity in Stephanie’s eyes made Madeline unable to refuse. She took the paintings and said, “Then I’ll accept them for her. She’ll like them very much. Thank you, Stephie.”

“You’re welcome,” answered Stephanie.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“You a

and Mr. Fletcher must come to the birthday party!” exclaimed Madeline.

Stephanie nodded. “Of course.”

Alterwards, Stephanie and the others left.

Madeline went to the Jimenez residence, accompanied by her assistant

Lenora was taken away by the police for investigation.

Maverick and Braden stayed and immediately closed down the auction house for restructuring. As for when it would open again, they would have to wait for the investigation by the Antique Appraisal Association.

Stephanie booked a private room in the Millennium Hotel to welcome her mentor, Joseph and Nancy also came.

Shanie ordered a table of Ronan’s favorite dishes.

Ronan was nearly 70 years old, but he looked like he just turned 50. He drank a glass of white wine and looked at Vincent. “I didn’t expect you to take my protégé away while I was gone,”

Stephanie smiled and passed him a drumstick “Mr. Zachmann, you’re wrong. I’m the one who asks him to marry me.”

He looked at the two of them and said, “My protégé prioritizes good looks. She has good taste!” Then, he turned to Vincent. “You’re lucky to marry

Stephie,”

Vincent nodded and raised his glass, “Mr. Zachmann, I’d like to propose a toast to you.”

Then, he toasted to the two seniors.

Ronan shared the thrilling adventure of the three of them g

going on an expedition i

in the desert. It was heart-stopping to hear.

Joseph exclaimed, “Mr. Zachmann, when’s your next trip? Take me along!”

Ronan snorted, “You’re digging a hole for me. And don’t ask, I’m not accepting more protégés.”

Joseph’s plan was exposed. He scratched his head and asked. “Can you take me with you next time?”

Ronan raised his chin, and Joseph hurriedly poured more wine.

“You’ve got good sense. I’ll stay in

in Jacaster for a month and then go to Mount Silverlake,” answered Ronan.

Joseph raised his hand and said, “I want to go.”

“Okay, I

I’ll contact you before I leave,” said Ronan,

“Thank you, Mr. Zachmann,” said Joseph.

“Mr. Zachmann, why are you going there? Stephanie asked in surprise.

Ronan looked at her and said meaningfully, “A griffin appeared there.”

“Griffin” was the code name for her medical mentor Denver, known as Dr. Mystique.

Stephanie glanced at Nancy and knew there was an outsider here, so Ronan used the code name.

Stephanie smiled and said, “I want to go too.”

Ronan shook his head and said, “We might not find it. If we do, I’ll take some photos for you. A young lady shouldn’t endure the journey.”

Stephanie didn’t say anything more at the table.

“Mr. Zachmann, are there really zombies?” Joseph asked curiously.

Ronan nodded and answered, “Of course there are.”

Nancy was beside them, eating her food in silence and feeling irritable.

She had thought that Stephanie was spouting nonsense, but it turned out Stephanie was Ronan’s protégé.

is Stephanie so lucky?’ she thought.

The two paintings were exactly what Annabelle wanted.

Gifts these days did not need to be expensive. Ater all, a rich family like theirs saw plenty of rare items. What mattered was what they lacked.

Stephanie happened to have those two paintings. She was currying favor with someone else’s things

Thus, Vincent would think Stephanie was a good wife. The Jimenezes were also a prestigious family. If they could befriend each other, it would be a win-

win situation.

Nancy pursed her lips as she watched Vincent and Stephanie gaze at each other.

After three rounds of drinks, Ronan was drunk. He took out a pile of things from his backpack and gave Stephanie a wooden box.

When Stephanie was about to open it, Ronan stopped her. “Don’t open it. it’s dangerous,”

As soon as he finished speaking, they heard something hitting the wooden box.

Nancy stood up with a pale face and said, “Excuse me, I have to go to the restroom.”

When Nancy left, Ronan’s eyes turned sharp.
