Chapter 81 A Confrontation
Jazmine’s words made Erika pleased and energized people.
At least, the applause in the venue met Erika’s expectations. The subtle displeasure in her heart instantly disappeared, and she
secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Jazmine could tell what Erika was thinking at a glance.
At this moment, Jazmine could feel that someone was gazing at her eagerly. She knew who the person was.
And this was exactly what she expected before going onstage.
Jazmine looked in Giancarlo’s direction casually.
Their eyes met.
He was completely different from what Jazmine pictured. In her memory, Giancarlo was reserved, serious, and distant. His gaze
was always as cold as a glacier. Even if Jazmine used all her passion and sincerity, she
couldn’t make him warm.
But what did she see now?
His eyes shone as if Giancarlo had been expecting to see this scene since long ago.
Is that really Giancarlo?
Jazmine asked herself.
Giancarlo stared at Jazmine without blinking. Yoselin could tell that he was attracted by Jazmine. Yoselin instantly got jealous
and angry.
Why? Why can Jazmine get these? Wasn’t she dead? Why is she here?
Giancarlo hates her, doesn’t he? Why did he look happy when he saw her? Giancarlo has been self–restrained.
He doesn’t look like himself at this moment.
Jazmine couldn’t suppress her emotions. She shouted, “Giancarlo.”
It attracted Giancarlo’s attention. Naturally, many people present were attracted too.
Yoselin was no exception.
Jazmine seemed to have done it on purpose. She raised her hand in the direction of Yoselin. “Ms. Larsen, I’m
sorry that I took what you like.”
Yoselin noticed that many people were looking at her. She hurriedly restrained the jealousy on her face and
stood up gracefully. She even nodded at the people around her.
Only then did she speak to Jazmine.
“Ms. Gardner, it’s just a necklace. If you had told me earlier, the Tapia family could have given you
something more valuable. You didn’t need to make an effort to get it.”
It was straightforward. Even a fool could understand what she meant.
Yoselin was emphasizing that her husband was the president of the Tapia Group. Yoselin didn’t bid against her because Jazmine
didn’t show up earlier. It was not that Yoselin couldn’t afford the necklace. She also hinted that Jazmine was a person who liked
to fuss over trivial matters.
Jazmine smiled faintly when she heard Yoselin’s words.
“Oh. So, you are Mrs. Tapia. The man next to you is Mr. Tapia. Right? You are a perfect match for each other. What a loving
couple! It makes us very envious.”
Jazmine smiled brightly.
Her beautiful face seemed to be glowing, and her smile was particularly dazzling.
Jazmine was mocking them.
And she didn’t feel jealous at all.
Giancarlo’s face instantly became sullen. His vibe became cold and gloomy. Everyone felt it and was scared.
The first to bear the brunt was Yoselin, who had been confronting Jazmine the entire time. Her face was full of surprise as she
glanced at Giancarlo. In the next moment, her eyes widened. They were filled with confusion and nervousness.
Yoselin looked at him in panic as Giancarlo stood up.
His eyes were fixed on Jazmine, who was on the stage.
There were so many people at the scene, but nobody spoke. Everyone seemed to be waiting for something.
People were expecting something, while Yoselin was anxious.
Giancarlo slowly said, “Ms. Larsen.”
Yoselin was frightened and her face turned pale. Her lips trembled. She opened her mouth several times to say something, but
she was overwhelmed by her mixed feelings.
Yoselin never expected that Giancarlo would embarrass her in public. Although she wasn’t Giancarlo’s wife, she gave birth to his
son, which was known by people.
Although she wasn’t his wife, her son was Giancarlo’s only child. It was only a matter of time before Yoselin
married him.
At this moment, Yoselin was particularly embarrassed. She tried her best to hold back her tears and smile.
She echoed Giancarlo’s introduction. “Yes. Mr. Tapia and I haven’t gotten married.”
Jazmine was surprised.
Considering Giancarlo’s concern for Yoselin, Jazmine thought he would admit that Yoselin was his wife. In that case, Jazmine
could sue him for bigamy.
Even if it couldn’t cause serious harm to him, it would be a small punishment.
But it seemned that Giancarlo was more difficult to deal with than Jazmine had imagined. She knew that she had to be careful
when dealing with him in the future.
Jazmine remained calm. She smiled at Yoselin. “I see. I misunderstood just now. I’m really sorry. Alright. I can’t waste everyone’s
precious time. There are many good things in Erika’s auction. We should let Erika introduce them now.”
Erika smiled at Jazmine and continued to introduce the items.
Jazmine gracefully returned to her seat. Many people glanced at her, while she just smiled at them gracefully. Since she was
beautiful, many men were attracted.
When Yoselin saw this, she was so angry that she was about to go crazy. She noticed that Giancarlo looked annoyed. Yoselin
leaned over and whispered, “Ms. Gardner is so charming. She has become so popular. That’s Mr. Dellas. He seems to want to
make friends with Ms. Gardner.”
After Yoselin finished speaking, she carefully looked at Giancarlo’s face.
Seeing that he was sullen, Yoselin was delighted. As expected, Giancarlo hated fickle women.
She continued, “I wonder where Ms. Gardner has been during the past five years. It seems that she has been well. It makes me
feel less guilty.”
The auction began, and it interrupted Yoselin.
After two items were sold, the ring that Jazmine wanted was up.
She subconsciously held the one hanging around her neck as if trying to obtain power from it.
This item was her father’s ring.
And the ring in her hand belonged to her mother.
They were her parents‘ wedding rings. Her father’s ring disappeared after he died. Now that Jazmine was here today, she was
determined to get it.
“Although this ring is an old item, the diamond on it is exquisitely made. It’s five carats. The starting price is
15 thousand dollars, and the increment is 1.5 thousand dollars. The bidding begins now.”
Jazmine didn’t make a bid.
Many people were bidding for it.
The price soon reached 75 thousand dollars.
When Jazmine was about to bid, Giancarlo raised his bidding paddle.
