This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 205

“Things don’t have to be so complicated, you know. I think I have an idea,” Charles drawled with a low chuckle.

Sonia eyed him warily. “What is it?”

 

“Did you forget that you gave me your wedding ring and the Ocean’s Heart two months ago? You wanted me to sell them off and donate the proceeds to the rural areas, remember? The jewelry pieces are still with me and I figured you could donate them for the auction.” As he said this, he put his hands out like he was holding the solution he came up with.

She gaped at him with wide eyes. “You didn’t sell those off?”

“Yeah.” He nodded and went on to say, “The Ocean’s Heart fetches a hefty price on the market, so it’s not exactly affordable for most. More to the point, everyone knows that it was specifically made under Toby’s orders. They’re terrified that they might offend him somehow if they were to buy the Ocean’s Heart off the market like that. And as for your wedding ring…” He trailed off as he gazed at her thoughtfully. “I was planning to sell it off but only after the Ocean’s Heart was sold. Seeing as that never happened, though, I’ve been keeping the wedding ring as well.”

“Okay.” Sonia processed this in a daze and lifted her chin by a fraction as she asked, “So, where’s the ring now?”

 

“At my place. Are you going to donate it for the auction then?” Charles asked.

She hummed in response. “You have said so yourself that the Ocean’s Heart fetches an extravagant price, so even if I were to donate it, there’s no guarantee that anyone attending the auction might bid for it. Besides, Toby will be there too. Anyone who bids for the Ocean’s Heart would greatly offend him one way or another. Donating the ring would be a wiser choice, and it’ll still fetch a couple hundred thousand for the cause.”

 

“I guess you’re right. In that case, I’ll donate the ring in your name after your operation,” he offered as he rubbed his chin.
