In the end , Celeste won the bid for that diamond .
Even though Miles had mentally prepared himself , he was still a b stunned when he heard the result .
It wasn’t until the auction officially ended and Celeste left with Adine to handle the formalities that Miles snapped out of it and messaged Trevor .
“ Celeste spent 1.8 billion and won the diamond … ”
“ Okay . ”
Something this unexpected , and all he replied with is a casual “ Okay “ ? 3
Miles then replied , “ What did that period you sent me earlier mean ? ”
Trevor must have been busy . After a while , he finally replied , “ It meant stop gossiping . ” 13
Miles was dumbfounded . Wasn’t he just too shocked and wanted to let Trevor know ?
Perhaps , to prove that marrying Trevor back then wasn’t for money , Celeste had always dressed rather plainly during their marriage .
Lilian and Lennox were also stunned by Celeste’s extravagant move and didn’t recover for quite a while .
It wasn’t until Jorge got up to leave and went over to greet them that Lilian snapped back to reality .
At that moment , Lennox seemed to recall something and suddenly said , “ This diamond … Celeste probably bought it for her , right ? ”
She didn’t specify who she was , but Lilian knew she meant Isabelle
Because they all knew Isabelle loved diamonds , and years ago , she also owned one that was extremely valuable . 1
But that diamond later on- 6
Remembering the past , Lilian lowered her eyes .
After completing the procedures , Celeste and Adeline were ready to leave .
After witnessing Celeste’s bold move , many people at the auction were eager to get to know her .
Aside from Miles , Jorge , and Lilian’s group , there were others at the venue who recognized Celeste .
While Celeste was handling the paperwork , many had already found out about her background .
For example , they learned that her family situation was actually average , and that she was currently dating Matthias . 3
Matthias came from a well – off family , and now that YodaVision was thriving , he had become both a highly sought – after elite in their social circle and an “ ideal son – in – law ” in the eyes of many wealthy families .
When people found out that Celeste likely relied on Matthias’s support to win the diamond , many who had initially wanted to approach her quickly gave up the idea .
However , those who had worked with YodaVision or wanted to build a good relationship with Matthias still took the initiative to connect with her .
Celeste was well aware of everyone’s intentions .
After exchanging a few polite words , she found an excuse to leave .
Many of the Lockets and the Shaws had been very interested in the diamond at today’s auction . They all desperately wanted to see it in person , but since there was only one invitation , they couldn’t attend .

When Lennox and Lilian returned , Linda quickly asked , “ Aunt Lizzy , who won the diamond ? What was the final price ? ”
As she asked , Wynn and Patricia , along with the others , all turned to look at Lilian .
Clearly , they were also eager to know .
After a slight pause , Lilian replied , “ The final price was 1.8 billion and the one who won the diamond … was Celeste . ”
“ W – What ? ” Linda was stunned, thinking she must have misheard
Patricia and Erin reacted almost the same way .
Patricia’s face sank . “ Her ? How could it be her ? ”
Linda quickly chimed in , “ Exactly ! How could it be her ? Where would she get that kind of money ? ”
Wynn also froze for a moment when she heard the diamond went for 1.8 billion and that Celeste was the one who won it.
But after a while , she lowered her head and silently stared at the teacup in her hands . 7
