My Wife is a Sassy Queen

The manager fidgeted a bit at that. Them knowing about the necklace being on the auction was a piece of inside information.

They did not want to share the inside details with a stranger.

Romeo understood it and tried to weasel his way into it, “If it’s okay, I also want you to look at another item and appraise it for me. Unless I had been conned both times, I would like to sell it too.”

The manager probably misunderstood him as some nouveau riche who suddenly stumbled upon money and decided to collect notable jewelry without any knowledge.

This was a good opportunity to trick him into selling him one at a cheap price.

Romeo could read the manager like a book.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

The manager relented and explained, “The necklace is put into the auction by some anonymous person. I have heard a woman, Mrs. Something, I forgot exactly. But you can find more details in P city.”

Romeo nodded at him, “Thank you! Please do see me tomorrow as I would like you to appraise a few things for me.”

He added in an obnoxious tone to declare his own superiority and show off to the manager who was the boss and who was a mere employee.

The manager treated him politely. All his previous disdain was gone, as soon as he realized Romeo was a prospective client. Romeo left the place with his chin up and arrogant face despite seething inside at Rose’s betrayal.

As he turned around he could not see the manager’s look of disgust and contemptuous smile. Romeo had been played marvelously and he did not even know it. He had left looking like a clown while he strutted out like a peacock.

He made a trip to several places and everyone told him pretty much the same.

While no one knew the identity of the auctioneer, everyone unilaterally believed it was a married woman.

Romeo finally managed to sell the fake necklace to a young person who seemed new and naive at the job. He managed to get five grand for the fake replica which he was going to use to get back to P city and confront Rose.

Thinking of Rose, he thought it was a good idea to go back to P city permanently and settle there or get settled in a neighboring city so he can extort his ex-wife more conveniently.

Romeo had never thought about going back at all. He had been enjoying his rich life for the last twenty years.

But Rose’s betrayal had whetted his appetite just when he had lost everything. He thought it must be fate that he was going to get tangled with Rose once again.

Little did he know everything around him was being controlled as if he was a puppet. He arrived in P city just as Liliana discussed her plans with Jonathan and the others.
