The Wife In Disguise

Violet’s mind wandered, and she saw that the host had already struck the hammer.

“Okay, $10 million for the third time! The ring, in the end, still goes to Mrs. Bergen of Dewgrove City for her small contribution to the children of the mountains.”

The host’s impassioned voice rang out and the audience applauded.

Violet subconsciously turned around and looked towards the bidders.

It was a middle-aged noblewoman dressed in a graceful and elegant manner.

She rose and nodded slightly to the crowd, then took her seat.

Beside her sat David, who arrived at some point.

Violet suddenly remembered that David was the Bergen family of Dewgrove City.

David’s father was second in line at home, so the noblewoman in front of him should be David’s Auntie.

Violet pursed her red lips as she watched David and the noblewoman exchange words, her heart ebbing and flowing.

If the relic that her mother left for herself is the object of her engagement with her father, then could her own real father be related to David’s Auntie?

After all, it was Mrs. Bergen who offered the ring that was just up for bidding!

Once the thought came to her, Violet sat back a bit.

She wanted to know who her father was.

Want to know why he abandoned his mother?

Does he know that she still exists as his daughter?

Finally, the auction, which lasted for three hours, came to a successful end.

After congratulating Mr. Wood and Mrs. Wood, Violet got up and left the auction room to look for David and his Auntie.

After the auction was the reception, and the guests poured into the ballroom.

Violet looked around and soon found David and her Auntie.

“David.”

Violet carried her skirt and ran quickly.

David laughed and said, “Helena, you look beautiful today.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Violet smiled, her eyes fell on the noblewoman and gave a slight nod towards her.

“Hello Mrs. Bergen.”

Penny Stewart looked Violet up and down and gave a condescending hmmm.

David introduced “Auntie Penny, this is Crotosi City’s famous makeup artist Helena, who was invited as the makeup director for the Sunlite Model Contest not long ago.”

At that, Penny looked at Violet again, “Yeah! The little girl is quite talented.”

“Thank you Mrs. Bergen for the compliment.”

Violet heard the disdain in Penny’s tone and didn’t take it personally.

She complimented, “Mrs. Bergen is so elegant, and so generous. Those children in the mountains are blessed.”

She had to inquire about the ring and had to kiss this noblewoman’s ass first.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Yo, this little mouth is quite capable of coaxing people.”

Penny was complimented and was in a rather good mood, and her attitude was not as cold and arrogant as it was just now.

Violet smiled lightly, took the wine handed to her by the waiter and handed it to her, walking her forward.

“Mrs. Bergen, that’s a really beautiful ring you pulled out! I’ve never seen a ring that beautiful.”

“That’s not true! It’s the Bergen family’s ancestral ring, one for each of David’s dad and his great uncle.”

Mrs. Bergen took a sip of her wine, “David’s father’s ring has Phoenix on it, and the ring I have with Pegasus on it is my husband’s.”

David’s dad’s ring has Phoenix on it?

But obviously the ring is with her right now!

Or is it just a coincidence?

Is she overthinking?

Violet pursed her red lips, and her heart felt like a cat’s claw was scratching there.

“Helena, why are you so interested in this ring?”

David inquired curiously.

“Oh, nothing, it’s just that I heard it was an ancestral ring and thought there must be some kind of love legend about this ring.”

Violet made a perfunctory remark.

David shook his head and said, “Women, ah, just like the legend of love and affection.”

Violet curled her lips and did not deny it.

Mrs. Bergen looked at him and laughed, “David, that sounds like you don’t want to be in a relationship. By the way, Nancy is back home, so it’s time for you to get in touch with her.”

Nancy ?
