In a world where power dynamics shift like sand, Douglas finds himself at the mercy of his wife Savannah's public disdain. Their marriage, once a strategic alliance, has devolved into a battlefield of pride, with Savannah's rising star eclipsing Douglas's quiet strength. When a charity auction becomes the stage for their tumultuous relationship, the stakes escalate dramatically as Savannah publicly humiliates him, igniting a fierce competition over a seemingly trivial painting.

As laughter echoes through the hall, Douglas's heart races—not from embarrassment, but from a simmering determination to reclaim his dignity. With a mere paddle in hand, he dares to challenge Savannah’s authority, throwing down the gauntlet with each escalating bid. But is this a reckless gamble or a calculated move to show Savannah just how much he has to offer?

Amidst the crowd's jeers and the rising tension, Douglas must navigate a web of familial loyalty and hidden wealth. As the auction unfolds, secrets threaten to surface, and every dollar he bids could change the course of their relationship forever. Will he emerge victorious, or will the weight of their past crush his resolve?

My Wife Divorced Me at the Auction, I Made Her RegretChapter 1

Over the weekend, my wife and I were both invited to attend a charity auction.

During the bidding, my wife's assistant named Johan Liberty and I happened to take a liking to the same painting.

I was about to compete fairly when, right in front of me, my wife lit the bid lamp for her assistant, "Douglas, you're just a live-in son-in-law in our family. What right do you have to fight with me?"

Just as the other bidders began withdrawing one by one, I snapped my fingers toward the auctioneer, "Whatever price my wife offers, I'll add ... one more dollar!"

——

As soon as I said that, every guest at the auction turned to look at me.

Moments later, the room erupted in laughter, "This guy must be crazy, right? Fighting his own wife for something? He must have more money than sense!"

"He's not just crazy, he's got no brain at all. A mere son-in-law daring to challenge Miss Mason in public, completely out of line."

"I heard before coming that the Mason Family took in a live-in son-in-law some years ago. Didn't expect to actually see him here."

As the whispers grew louder, Savannah's face darkened.
