Chapter 55: Chapter 55

Before she could touch Ryan I slapped her hand away. For some unknown reason, I was furious and I didn't want this wicked woman to touch him. All she did was lie to him about me so I hate her and this woman is the reason for Noah's death.

"Julianna, You think that I would let you be his wife forever? No, I'll make him marry another woman in front of your eyes. You're just a cheap woman without a good status. You made him marry you because of his money" She spoke with a hatred-filled voice. Suddenly my heart tightened because of what she told me. Does everyone think that I married him for money? No... I didn't want his money, all I wanted was my son.

"If she married me for money, what do you think about this woman you're asking me to marry? Doesn't she want money? Or does she want to become Mrs. Winston? Ryan Winston's wife. Good status" Ryan laughed and said as he caressed my waist. I knew he was making me relax.

"I will never let her go till I die. Don't try any tricks grandma because the consequence will be so dangerous. She was mine from the beginning. She'll always be my wife and no woman can replace her. Just don't appear in front of me and ruin my day I fucking hate it. So fuck off." Ryan kissed my forehead and took me away from them.

"Juli... Help.. he's annoying" I looked back and saw Amelia who came to me with an annoying look. Then I saw Chris was following her too.

"What happened?" I asked as I sighed.

"He's coming after me for the whole damn month Juli, He says that he wants me to be his girlfriend. He even forced me to come here with him." She sighed and said without even caring about Chris who just came to us. Really? I've never heard of Chris Winston going after a woman. Maybe Ryan was correct.

"Amelia, Why? Don't say that. I like you so I asked what's the problem with that?" Chris wrapped his arm around her waist and said.

"I don't know, you guys are...Ryan, tell him not to bother her" I looked up at Ryan and said. He watched me for a while and smiled sweetly. Urghh. Why did I forget he's supporting Chris? I let out a deep breath as I looked at him.

"Let's go, it's starting" Ryan led me to the table that was for Winston's family. He pulled a chair for me and helped me to fix my dress as I sat down on the chair. Then Chris and Amelia also came and sat with us. After some time Ryan's grandma came with an old man. I think Ryan's grandpa. I looked at Ryan as they joined our table. He smiled at me and kissed my forehead.

"Shit. I forgot. Julianna, wear this" Ryan took a necklace out of his pocket and placed it around my neck. I touched it and found it was designed with blue diamond flowers but I didn't like it because it's just way too big.

"Ryan, what is this?" I asked him as he sighed.

"You have to go to the stage with me wearing this necklace. We will show the necklace to the auction here and donate money for a hospital okay?" My heart tightened as I heard the word hospital. I looked at him and nodded with a smile.

"Chris, didn't you make her wear the bracelet?" I looked at Chris who just pressed his lip together as he took an emerald diamond bracelet. He made Amelia wear it and kissed her cheek. I could see the blushing face of Mily but she just hid it well. Puff. She'll fall for this man soon.

Then suddenly I felt someone was looking at me. I looked at the woman in front of me while looking at me with a complicated look.

"Ryan… how are you? She's pretty" I looked at the man who had just spoken.

"I'm a fine grandpa. Yeah my wife is pretty" I guessed correctly it's his grandpa. He looked at me and smiled and I smiled back at him too.

"Come home for dinner when you're free Ryan. I haven't seen Noel for so long. You come with him too" He spoke with Ryan and then his eyes fell on me with a smile. I simply smiled at him without any response.

"How could you ask this cheap woman to come to our house?" I looked at Ryan's grandma and I couldn't understand why she hates me so much.

"Emily… watch your mouth" Ryan's grandpa looked at her with an angry voice as she quickly looked away from him.

"Why do you hate me this much? It's not you who should hate, I should hate because of things you did to me" I asked her because I always wanted to ask this question from her. Was it because I'm poor?

"Julianna, I hate you because you remind me of two women that I hated the most in this world and those women snatched what I loved so much including you" What? If her anger could burn someone I bet I'm already because of her anger.

"GRACE. SHUT UP. Don't make me chase you from here" I heard Ryan's grandpa's furious voice

"I'm sorry for her words my granddaughter-in-law" I nodded at him with a forceful smile and looked at Ryan. He watched me for a while and caressed my face with a smile and that made me relax.

"Chris, how's your life? Is this your girlfriend?" I looked at Chris and he nodded with a smile as he looked at Amelia.

"Great, you should get married and have kids before I die" He smiled at Chris and it was a guilt-filled smile. What was that? Then the auction started and I felt sleepy. Urghh.

"I'm sleepy," I said to Ryan and he looked at me with a smile and patted his shoulder. I wrapped my arms around his arm and placed my head on his shoulder as I closed my eyes.

"Marianna...." My eyes snapped open as I heard a voice in my mind. What the hell? It sounded like a boy. I shook my head and looked at Ryan who was looking at the stage. Then I heard Ryan's name from the stage and I lifted my head and looked.

"Let's go." With that, he stood up from the chair and gave his hand to me. I placed my hand on his and stood up as he led me onto the stage. Urghh. Suddenly everyone started to whisper. I hate this feeling.

"Good evening Mr. Winston and Mrs. Winston" The man who was announcing smiled at us brightly and Ryan nodded at him as he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"Today Mr. Winston participated in the auction with the most expensive and beautiful diamond necklace that Mrs. Winston is wearing right now" With that everyone's eyes fell on my neck.

"The price starts from five million dollars" What? five million dollars? Urghh. What an expensive necklace. I suddenly felt this was interesting and I wanted to see who was going to buy the necklace.

"5.5 million" Suddenly someone said and I looked at the man who had just spoken. What? Dean? What is he doing here?

"6 million" Another man spoke and I looked at him and saw he was with a woman and I could see that woman was blushing. what a lucky woman.

"7 million" I looked at Dean and found he was looking at me. His eyes never left me. What the hell? Urghh I hate when he looks at me like that. As I saw him I remembered the past and how I suffered. He was the only one who helped me but in return he wanted me to have sex with him. I refused him again and again so he even tried to rape me but it was my fortune that his mother helped me to escape from there. I sighed and looked away from him because the only thing I felt was disgust.
