A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 203

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 203

The notion of offering one million for a worn-out amulet was really ridiculous.

As such, the crowd reached a unanimous agreement, with such a high price, who in their right mind would compete for it? Wouldn’t it just make us look like a fool? I guess money does make one act capriciously.

Before Vivian could thank Finnick, Fabian came out of nowhere.

He shouted, “One point one million!”

The crowd gasped when they realized another idiot had joined the fray. My God! What’s going on? The fact that an amulet was donated to be auctioned off was rare enough. Now, there are people actually fighting for it?

Is the amulet really that effective? The crowd was puzzled as they wondered why two members of the Norton family were fighting over an ordinary-looking amulet.

Fabian, what the hell are you trying to do? Vivian couldn’t help but admonish him in her heart before looking towards Finnick.

Will he raise the bid? Or, will he give up? She secretly hoped that Finnick wouldn’t give up, just like how he didn’t let go of the diamond pen. At least it would prove to her that she was equally important to him as Evelyn was.

Finnick’s expression remained exceptionally calm as he focused his attention on the amulet. In the next moment, he raised his paddle.

“One point two million!”

“One point three million!” Fabian countered. The amulet is extremely important to Vivian. I must protect and help her. Fabian knew that it was the only way he could make it up to her.

“One point four million!”

“One point five!”

Both men continued to outbid each other.

Everyone else at the auction had been relegated to being a spectator to watch the two of them tussle it out.

It’s a clash of giants! The Norton family does live up to their reputation. If I knew this was going to happen, I would have brought all my amulets from home. I didn’t expect the Norton family to love amulets so much.

“Fabian, stop bidding!” Ashley muttered to him.

The hatred she felt for Vivian had increased ten-fold by then. She couldn’t believe that the item she donated had been outshone by Vivian’s amulet. This is preposterous! Ashley was miffed that even a worn-out amulet had allowed Vivian to steal the limelight from her. If I knew this was going to happen, I shouldn’t have switched out the diamond necklace.

What infuriated her further was the fact that Fabian had joined in the bid fervently. His intentions were simply too obvious.
