Christian's action had completely stunned those around him, leaving them astonished.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Especially Jane, who couldn't help but flush and then pale, and her breathing became noticeably heavier.

It felt as if Christian had slapped Jane across the face, leaving her utterly humiliated, stripping her of all dignity. She felt unbearably infuriated, deeply offended by this.

Spotting this, Ross discreetly gestured to the attendant, who then quickly apologized and retreated from the area.

Ross, who had known Anastasia for quite some time, tried to lighten the mood with a smile. "The ‘Tears of the Ocean’ was originally yours and now has returned to you again. Seems like fate for me."

Anastasia frowned, her face showing no signs of delight as she looked indifferently at the "Tears of the Ocean" in her hand.

She then forced a smile and handed it back to Christian. "It belongs to you now, Mr. Patterson. Maybe you should give it to your fiancée as an engagement gift?"

She wouldn't have given up during the bidding if she genuinely wanted it.

She'd jacked up the price intentionally, knowing Jane would compete and Christian would never lose to a woman for the sake of his ego.

Everything had gone as she had expected. Everything had gone as she had expected. However, she hadn't anticipated that Christian would return it to her. What on earth was he thinking? Anastasia pondered angrily.

Christian's expression turned solemn, his eyes clouded with dark emotions. "What are you talking about? What engagement? What fiancée? There's nothing of the sort. | got this for you. Of course, | must give it to you!" He said sternly.

He then pushed the gemstone back into Anastasia’s hand without allowing her to argue. His words even carried a hint of firm anger. However, Anastasia wasn't swayed.

She faintly smiled and thought, "People already saw you both cutting the cake together, and Jane had even confirmed it. Who are you trying to fool? Definitely can't fool me."

Yet, Anastasia didn't want to come across as jealous or confrontational. She simply smiled and handed Jane the "Tears of the Ocean."

With a delicate smirk on her lips and a touch of refined coolness in her eyes, Anastasia uttered, "Ms. Martinez, here's your engagement gift. Congratulations to you both."

Anastasia then smiled indifferently, ignoring Jane's visible shame and discomfort.

"Why keep something | didn't even want? Whoever wants it can have it!" Anastasia thought bitterly.

The piece that had been so sought after was now nothing more than a thing that no one wanted to touch. "Is Anastasia trying to embarrass me on purpose?" Jane mused, fuming.

Though Jane wanted to lash out, she bit down hard on her lower lip to restrain her emotions as she knew she couldn't afford to make a scene in front of all those people.

"They said there's a special treat on every floor here, plus | didn't come here just for Zachary, so why not go have a bit of fun while I'm at it?" she pondered.

Before anyone could react, Christian approached Jane with a dark expression.

“Engaged? When did we get engaged? Did you forget what you came here for tonight?" He asked coldly. His eyes were filled with an unmistakable chill.

Seeing this, Jane trembled slightly as if filled with fear and guilt.
