At that moment, bidder number 12 stopped bidding, and bidder number 17 continued to raise the price to 4.8 million dollars

Naomi feigned regret and persuaded, Malcolm, it’s just a bracelet. It’s not worth more than 4 million dollars. Why don’t we stop bidding?” 

Malcolm didn’t seem to hear her. With an aloof expression, he immediately raised the price to 6 million dollars

At that moment, hushed gasps and whispers sounded from each room. They were all discussing bidder number one’s generous bids

Naomi’s back straightened, and she was overjoyed

On the other hand, Tabitha was hesitating, unsure if she should continue bidding. She did not expect bidder number one to directly raise the bid to 6 million dollars. In the end, she flipped her calling card number over and chose to give up

Chadwick looked at her in confusion. Don’t you like Lone Star’s Tear very much?” 

Tabitha smiled faintly. It’s not easy for Grandpa Alaric to make money. Even though he loves me, I can’t splurge money like this.” 

However, she wondered which bidder was Colette. Is she number one or number seventeen?she mused

A complicated look swirled in Chadwick’s gaze when he noticed Tabitha’s nonchalant demeanor, as if she didn’t really care. He felt sorry for her and at the same time upset that she didn’t get what she wanted

Tabitha deserved the best things in the world no matter the cost

Tabby, when it’s your birthday next year, I will design a bracelet for you

that is prettier than Lone Star’s Tear,” Chadwick promised

Tabitha was surprised. With a smile, she queried, You know how to design bracelets too?” 

She thought in surprise, He can grow precious jasmines, is knowledgeable, and he can even design jewelry

He’s a rare talent!‘ 

Chadwick nodded and continued, I don’t know why, but when I see these jewelry, a lot of related things automatically pop up in my mind. There’s a good chance that I was working a job in this line before I lost my 

memory.” 

Tabitha nodded happily. It was a good thing that Chadwick knew so much

Lone Star’s Tear was ultimately acquired by bidder number one

The next item for auction was a comparatively ordinary necklace with a starting price of 600 thousand dollars. Tabitha bought the necklace for 1 million dollars and decided to wear it to attend the gala

After the auction ended, there were appointed staff who brought the bidder’s jewelry to their respective rooms to complete the handover procedure

Tabitha took the bracelet box and left with Chadwick

Outside the gate of the venue, they coincidentally bumped into Malcolm. Naomi was holding onto his arm affectionately

Tabitha’s gentle expression instantly became icy cold

The look on Malcolm’s face wasn’t pleasant either when he once again. witnessed how fast Tabitha’s expression changed when she saw him

Both parties were waiting for their respective drivers. The atmosphere was

tense as they reached a stalemate. Neither of them took the initiative to greet one another

Tabitha caught a glimpse of the brocade box in Malcolm’s hand and was surprised to see it was the box containing Lone Star’s Tear

It turned out that bidder number one, the extravagant spender, was Malcolm

He never attended such occasions, but surprisingly enough, he even brought Naomi here in person. It was pretty obvious Lone Star’s Tear was for Naomi

Tabitha remembered that day when she and Alaric flipped through the brochure. They were discussing Lone Star’s Tear and Malcolm was clearly standing there watching

He must have competed over Lone Star’s Tear with her on purpose

Although Tabitha didn’t mind the way he treated her, her heart couldn’t help but clench. It felt as though someone had grazed her heart with a dagger

It didn’t hurt that much but the sharp pain lingered

Looking at Tabitha’s sickly pallor, Naomi put on a tender smile, exuding the aura of a winner. What a coincidence, Ms. Jarvis. Oh dear, you’re in poor health but you still chose to attend the auction in person. Did you have your eyes on any beautiful jewelry? Did you get it?” 

Tabitha knew that Naomi was provoking and challenging her on purpose. She could conjure up a hundred ways to embarrass Naomi right then and there

However, she didn’t want Chadwick to be targeted by Malcolm because of her again like last time

Just then, Tabitha’s driver drove the car over

She smiled and told Chadwick, Thank you for coming with me today.” 

Chadwick smiled gently. It’s my pleasure.” 

After they said goodbye to each other, Tabitha got in the car right away. She left without sparing Malcolm and Naomi a look
