"I know, Matt did overstep this time. So, in a few days, you will take over the bidding work with Jacob."
I cried in Rena's arms, feeling overwhelmed. I thought Joey was too stingy. I almost had a miscarriage because of Matt, yet he didn't face any consequences, only a cooperation with the Brooks family. But as long as Monica could be involved in the bidding, it would be fine.
As expected, within 24 hours, all the negative publicity about Matt had been cleaned up.
The explanation given to the public about Matt and Jane's relationship was that they had been childhood friends, and the kissing photo was a result of the angle of the shot.
During this time, Matt didn't even call me to explain.
I felt a sense of relief.
The next evening, I learned from Matt's friend that he was taking Jane to the jewelry auction banquet at the Crown Hotel.
How could this banquet be complete without me, Matt's rightful wife?
I called my stylist team and told them about it.
I want a sexy and classy look.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the banquet officially began.
I was wearing an exquisite makeup and a Dior's latest red evening gown, a waist-fitted A-line dress, cleverly concealing my two-month-old pregnancy.
As I entered the banquet hall, everyone's gaze turned towards me.
From a distance, I saw Matt, dressed in a white suit, mingling around with Jane.
When Matt noticed me, there was surprise and impatience in his eyes.
Matt walked over along with Jane.
"Ashley, didn't my parents ask you to stay at home and take care of the pregnancy? Why did you come here?" Matt said impatiently.
Looking at Matt's impatience, I smiled lightly and said, "I'm here to buy a piece of jewelry as a dowry for our unborn daughter, so she won't have to rely on her in-laws in the future."
I hinted that my in-laws were threatening me with the cooperation between the Brooks and Scott families.
Matt's expression turned awkward.
"Matt, why are you speaking like this? Ashley, coming here to buy jewelry is only natural. Hurry up and accompany her. I can manage alone, otherwise, if people misunderstand again, what should we do?"
Jane said with a hint of grievance.
Upon hearing Jane's words, Matt's eyes instantly filled with distress.
He turned around and left with Jane.
Inwardly, he perhaps thought. It's not like I brought her here. Why should I accompany her?
