Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 51 

"Seven million going once! Seven million going twice! Seven million going thrice!" the auctioneer kept announcing.

"Alright! We have a deal! Love was sold in seven million dollars! Congratulations on our bidder!" the auctioneer cheerily announced.

He made the final decision.

It was Zack who won the "love" piano at a high price of seven million dollars. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Katherine gave it up before the piano was sold too high.

People in the venue were not shocked to know that Zack had won the "love" piano.

What surprised them the most was the woman who dared to bid against Zack.

The auction house was in an uproar because no one expected the person who went against him.

It was Katherine! They recognized her face from the first floor.

The two used to be married, but Katherine was known to be married to Zack to leech for his wealth.

Zack looked down and tried to search for Katherine, but they were ten meters apart.

He couldn't tell whether the person was really Katherine or not.

The auction ended there.

Katherine didn't want to meet Chloe and the others, so she immediately left with the crowd wearing her bag.

Meanwhile, in the private room on the second floor...

Natalie followed Chloe to Zack's private room and greeted him.

"Zack, congratulations!"

However, Zack didn't give the same enthusiasm and gave Natalie a stern look.

"Miss Cooper, do you have a bad memory? Haven't I told you last time that we are not close enough to be in these speaking terms? So, don't call me by name” he harshly said.

"Zack, why are you..."

Chloe wanted to defend Natalie, but when she met Zack's cold eyes, she did not dare say a word.

He knew his brother.

It was not the perfect time to argue with him.

"Please, get out of the way.You are blocking the path” he ruthlessly said.

Zack didn't show any respect to the Cooper's family daughter.

Natalie turned pale due to embarrassment and turned to the side.

Then, Zack strode out.

Sean followed after Zack closely.

He had only taken a few steps when Zack threw him a look and gave him a cheque.

Then he said, "Go help me process the documents needed and pay the piano."

"Then, what about you? What are you going to do?" Sean asked.

Zack didn't give him a response, not even another glance.

He just continued to walk.

‘‘What's wrong with Zack?’’ Sean thought.

He didn't notice that Chloe was also following him and only knew it when she asked, "Sean, I didn't bring any car today.Can you drive me home?"

He had an idea what Chloe was up to.

So, Sean also showed no mercy and said, "No, I brought my sports car today, and I have to pick up my dog Beauty to go home later.Sorry”

Everyone was aware that he was raising a labrador which he named Beauty.So, that meant he used his pet as an excuse to refuse her.

This was to show Chloe that his dog was more important to him than her.

To put it simply, he said that to ridicule her.

Chloe stood there with her mouth agape.

She was so embarrassed and annoyed.

She watched him until he was lost from her sight and then complained loudly, "The audacity! What a show-off! The Lewis family properties are not even yours!"

At this time, Natalie walked out of the private room and brought a piece of surprising news.

"Chloe, it was Katherine.She was the person who competed with your brother earlier!" Chloe had forgotten her displeasure with Sean and focused on Nathalie.

"It was Katherine? How is that even possible? Where did she get the money?" Chloe asked.

Chloe's face went stiff for a moment.

She was so puzzled.

"What is she doing? Isn't it just a small entertainment company? She won't profit that much to buy something as expensive as the piano."

Natalie pursed her lips and did not answer, but she had always felt something was wrong with Katherine.

However, she could not exactly tell what it was.

When Zack left the auction house, he saw Katherine's back from afar.

He didn't know why, but in their three years of marriage, he didn't even remember what she looked like.

But now that they were divorced, he was confident that it was her just from her figure.

‘This is not a good sign: What was worse was that he couldn't help but run to her and stop her.

He initiated a talk by asking, "You also want to buy that piano too?"

Katherine was a little surprised when she felt a hand stopping her from walking away.

She didn't expect to see Zack's when she looked up.

Katherine raised her eyebrows and honestly answered, "Yes.Why? Do you want to give it to me, Mr.Colburn?"

If Zack offered it, she wouldn't be ashamed to accept it.

After all, it was not a mere piano that was worth more than seven million dollars, but an assurance that she could get the favor of Lux International and gain more money if she would be able to give it to their president.

Katherine was dressed so casually today, and Zack couldn't help but appreciate her beauty.

She wore a sea blue thin sweater as a top and an Aurora white skirt.

Her long silky hair was naturally draped over, and her beautiful face didn't have any makeup, yet she was still stunning.

Zack noticed all these details, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly for her.

He had never seen a woman who was so naturally beautiful as Katherine.

Her voice was soft yet cold, seemingly disinterested in talking to him and her tone sounded a little high but still pleasant to hear.

Zack looked at her with his dark eyes and asked, "Do you like the piano?"
