Everyone in the hall began making their bids.
"5.3 million dollars."
"5.4 million dollars."
"5.5 million dollars."
Soon, the price of the emerald bracelet had risen to 6 million dollars.
Tessa was tired of raising the price constantly, so she decided to wait until everyone stopped bidding before she joined the bid.
However, Lester suddenly began to bid for the bracelet. "7 million dollars."
He could tell that Tessa liked the bracelet, and since Stephen had snatched away those sapphire earrings, he would give Tessa that emerald bracelet instead.
The second Lester's voice fell, Stephen's cold voice rang out. "8 million dollars."
Even the auctioneer was taken aback by the fact that someone had raised the bid by a million dollars.
He could hardly suppress the smile on his face as he said, "The bidding price is now at 8 million dollars. Does anyone want to raise the bid?"
Lester's gaze darkened. "9 million dollars."
Stephen did not hesitate to follow suit. "10 million dollars."
Everyone turned to look at him, yet his expression did not falter as he maintained his usual calm and composed demeanor.
Lester was also calm as he vocalized his bid. "11 million dollars."
"15 million dollars," Stephen called out with a cold smirk.
Tessa was beginning to feel annoyed by their actions. Was something wrong with their brains? Why did they feel the need to outbid each other whenever she liked an item?
Although they did not lack money, there was no need for them to waste their money like that.
Lester was adamant about outbidding Stephen. "16 million dollars."
Stephen raised his paddle calmly. "20 million dollars."
Lester thought, "Fine, since he's dumb enough to spend so much money, I'll just let him win that bracelet instead. The color is too dark, and it doesn't suit Tessa anyway."
Noticing Stephen's unusual behavior, Lester turned to look at Tessa, who was sitting near him. He could see her expression clearly, and she looked quite angry.
Was she mad at them for raising the bid recklessly during the auction just now? Thinking it over, Stephen's bids had indeed been over the top.
With that thought in mind, Lester put his paddle down sensibly and stopped participating in the auction.
In the end, Tessa got what she wanted and won the bid for the necklace.
Once the auction ended, she immediately got up and headed out of the hall.
Stephen quickly chased after her. "Tess, wait a minute."
Her steps did not falter as she walked out of the hall and made her way toward the shaded parking lot.
By the time Lester had caught up with them, Tessa was already arguing with Stephen.
"Stephen, since when did you become so selfish? Why do you keep insisting on competing with Lester on everything? He's already cleared things up with me and told me that he isn't interested in me."
When Lester heard her words, he immediately stopped in his tracks, listening in from a distance.

Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
