DIVORCE AUCTION

To humiliate me in front of Seattle’s elite, my ex-husband publicly auctions our wedding ring and all our marital relics. He expects me to sign away my father’s pharmaceutical empire and leave the marriage with nothing. But Gabriel Stone, a tech tycoon, buys the wedding ring at a sky-high price. Before the flashlights fade, he marries me on the spot and exposes the truth: I have always been the rightful heir to the company — not my ex-husband, my stepmother, or my younger brother. Branded a cheating, opportunistic socialite, I reopen my mother’s long-forgotten laboratory. I expose the forged prenuptial agreement and the embezzled research funds, before returning to the industry as the company’s CEO. The man who once put a price on my life begs for mercy. I simply reply: “The value you gave me was never worthy of my name.”
