Cannot Bear To Let Go Of My Rich Wife
Chapter 830 - 848: In the years of one’s life, love never lets go (Ending 4)

Life imprisonment.

Such a verdict was equivalent to Evelyn Osbert being orphaned... No, even worse, after a few days, when the news was broadcast, she would spend the rest of her life with the stigma of her parents’ imprisonment.

She was always treated as a burden and endured constant criticism. She knew intimately how awkward such days could be. So, she made preparations in advance, seducing Robert Vincent so that he divorced his wife in a short period of time and decided to marry her instead.

No matter what others thought, Robert Vincent had a place in Bellshire. Many people would not want to make things difficult for her out of respect for him.

She knew that her current predicament was all due to Isabel Smith and Percy Stanton’s machinations. Therefore, the auction of this jade seal had become a competition between her and Isabel Smith.

Always calculating and cunning, Evelyn Osbert seemed determined to win this time. Without thinking, she quickly raised her sign and shouted unwillingly, "200 million."

Upon hearing this price, the face of Robert Vincent, who was sitting beside her, darkened.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly plummeted, and the air became as stiff as stone.

It turned out that the Smith sisters were indeed challenging each other, increasing the price of a jade seal that could have a maximum value of fifty million to four times that. And it seemed that the price would continue to rise.

All eyes were once again on Isabel Smith.

In their eyes, there was hope.

Isabel Smith did not know what Percy Stanton was thinking, so she remained cautious. She simply turned her head and glanced at him.

But this time, Percy Stanton did not give any indication. He merely looked at Robert Vincent’s gloomy face, calmly blinking his eyes as if the auction had nothing to do with him. Leaning back on his chair, he said to Secretary Emille, "The price has indeed been raised too high. Continuing to fight would only hurt both parties, so we should give up."

Thus, Secretary Emille did not raise his sign again.

Isabel Smith, who had been calling out bids from the very beginning, abruptly gave up, causing astonishment from everyone present.

In the end, the jade seal was bought by Evelyn Osbert for a price of 200 million.

During the intermission after the auction, Percy Stanton went to the smoking room and happened to see George Vincent sitting there. He had heard of the name before but had never spoken to the man. This time, he took the initiative to approach George Vincent, sitting down and saying, "Mr. Vincent, I hope you don’t mind sharing a table."

Such an opening statement made George Vincent, who was familiar with the social circle, realize that there was more to what Percy Stanton was saying. He nodded and straightened his body: "I don’t mind."

Percy Stanton elegantly sat down with his long legs crossed, facing George Vincent, and said, "Thank you."

"Mr. Stanton, no need to be polite."

Percy Stanton smiled but did not speak.

The shallow afternoon sunlight outside the window passed through the large glass window on the thirtieth floor, casting warm rays on both Percy Stanton and George Vincent.
