My Husband and Brother-in-law's First Love is the Same Person

The next evening, I learned from Matt's friend that he was taking Jane to the jewelry auction banquet at the Crown Hotel.

How could this banquet be complete without me, Matt's rightful wife?

I called my stylist team and told them about it.

I want a sexy and classy look.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the banquet officially began.

I was wearing an exquisite makeup and a Dior's latest red evening gown, a waist-fitted A-line dress, cleverly concealing my two-month-old pregnancy.

As I entered the banquet hall, everyone's gaze turned towards me.

From a distance, I saw Matt, dressed in a white suit, mingling around with Jane.

When Matt noticed me, there was surprise and impatience in his eyes.

Matt walked over along with Jane.

"Ashley, didn't my parents ask you to stay at home and take care of the pregnancy? Why did you come here?" Matt said impatiently.

Looking at Matt's impatience, I smiled lightly and said, "I'm here to buy a piece of jewelry as a dowry for our unborn daughter, so she won't have to rely on her in-laws in the future."

I hinted that my in-laws were threatening me with the cooperation between the Brooks and Scott families.

Matt's expression turned awkward.

"Matt, why are you speaking like this? Ashley, coming here to buy jewelry is only natural. Hurry up and accompany her. I can manage alone, otherwise, if people misunderstand again, what should we do?"

Jane said with a hint of grievance.

Upon hearing Jane's words, Matt's eyes instantly filled with distress.

He turned around and left with Jane.

Inwardly, he perhaps thought. It's not like I brought her here. Why should I accompany her?

I watched Matt's retreating figure and thought, Matt, you were the one who wronged me first. Whatever I do, it's your retribution.

I sent a message to Monica.

"Monica, the plan can be carried out."

Soon, the auction banquet officially started.

The first pair of golden ruby earrings were quite good, so I purchased them.

Matt cast a contemptuous look at me from afar.

One by one, the items were presented, but there were no major surprises.

Until the last item, an imperial green bracelet was presented, which surprised everyone here.

After all, this imperial green bracelet was a collectible.

It was also a treasured possession of Jane's family before they went bankrupt.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone has witnessed the quality of this imperial green bracelet. I won't be long-winded. Bidding starts at 3 million," the auctioneer announced.

"I bid 3.2 million," Matt was the first to bid.

I quickly followed with a bid of 4 million.

Matt shot me a resentful look, but I nonchalantly smiled.

Matt then bid 4.2 million, and I knew this was his bottom line.

But I continued bidding without a care, "5 million." I knew Matt would surely bid again.

After all, I had seen firsthand the crazy things he had done due to his love for Jane.

Matt, Jacob, and Jane grew up together. Jacob was two years older than Matt and Jane, but that didn't stop the three of them from getting along well.

At that time, the Scott family was still a medium-sized enterprise and had a partnership with the Adler family.

Both Jacob and Matt fell in love with the lively Jane, and the two even had a big fight over her.

In the end, Jacob won Jane's heart.

Shortly after, Jane's family went bankrupt, and it was absorbed by the Scott family.

Jane was sent abroad by Ben, and they were not allowed to see her.

Now that Jane had returned, maintaining an ambiguous relationship with Matt meant she must obtain something.

And now that the thing had been delivered to her doorstep, I didn't believe Jane would let it go.

Sure enough, when Matt saw Jane, with red eyes and on the brink of tears, he once again shouted out a bid of 5.2 million.

I did not continue bidding, watching Matt look happily at Jane with a silly smile.

It reminded me of three years ago, when Matt bought me a Hermes bag during our vacation in the Maldives and looked at me in the same silly way.

I touched my abdomen and thought, My task for today is complete.

I pretended to look angrily at Matt and then left the scene indignantly.

The next day, Matt was scolded by Ben and stripped of his authority at the Scott Group. He was asked to reflect on his actions at home.

Matt had always been on par with his brother, Jacob, in the Scott Group, but this time he had misappropriated funds to buy a bracelet for Jane.

There was a chance to remedy the situation, but Jacob acted faster.

Matt had just misappropriated funds yesterday, and today Ben found out.

"Ashley, why did you raise my price yesterday? Are you and Monica plotting to drive me out of the Scott Group? What do you gain from this?"

Matt said, approaching with a cold demeanor.
