A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208 

What was more, Rickard treated Juniper so well back then, but Juniper only wanted to take advantage of him, then pinned the blame on Hesper when things went south. 

If it was not for Rickard’s blind trust in Juniper, perhaps these things would have come to light since the very beginning. Taking advantage of this situation, Juniper should have left immediately, but she was shameless enough to stay and pester Rickard further for so many years. 

The former relationship between Rickard and Hesper was no longer a secret because of the blabbermouth, Juniper. So when some attendees who knew about the relationship between Rickard and Juniper saw the posture of the three of them, they could instantly imagine a huge, dramatic scene in their mind. 

However, the auction began officially, not giving the imagination more time to develop. 

The auction was completely transparent. Everyone sat in the auditorium and would raise their placards to bid for any item that they wanted. 

Hesper had seen a lot of exquisite antiques and items in the past three years. So generally, she was not interested in watching such auctions, but she could not just return home empty-handedly. Hence, Hesper paid partial attention to the items being presented on stage and tried to bid for a few small items from time to time. 

“The next item up for auction is a piece of jewelry from the royal family of Yoshland. So, ladies, it’s time to divert your attention here.” 

Hesper lifted her head. The item on the auction platform was a thin bracelet, inlaid with several gemstones of different shades of blue, making it look like a sparkling wave, radiating under the chandeliers. 

It was indeed a pretty bracelet. 

This could be regarded as one of the most famous items up for auction tonight. Regardless of the material of the bracelet and the type of gemstone used, the royal family’s name was already enough to put the jewelry a level above the other items. 

Hesper did not lack good-looking accessories, so although this bracelet looked very beautiful, she did not have the habit of collecting vintage accessories and clothes. She would only buy them for the sake of viewing them at home. 

With the host’s hyped introduction, the ladies in the audience would surely want to participate in the. 

auction. 

Hesper did not want to join in on the fun. 

Sure enough, as soon as the auction started, the bid for the bracelet skyrocketed instantly. It had completely exceeded its original price. 

No matter what, it was only a tiny ornament, and the upbringing that Hesper had received since she was a child had taught her to not go all out for something that was not worth it just for the sake of her pride, even if she was rich now. 

There was no need for that. 

But soon, a familiar voice came from within the crowd. “$10,000.” 

Hesper turned her head and saw Juniper raise her chin as she put down the placard in her hand. And as soon as they exchanged gazes, Juniper snorted proudly then looked away immediately. 

Hesper was speechless. 

‘Just how childish can she be?’ 

Hesper turned her head, leaned back into the couch, and continued to witness the bidding process.
