It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 400

Edward said nothing and looked at her quietly. Finally, he sighed and embraced her. For a woman with a strong personality and identity like Daisy, he could do nothing about it.

"Is this important to you?" Edward murmured, keeping his eyes on the necklace that Daisy was looking at. He wondered what the necklace meant to Daisy.

"Yes. It belonged to my mother before. I have to get it back." Daisy had a determined look on her face. She had to get the necklace back at all costs.

"What? This was your mother's necklace? How did it end up at the auction?" Edward started to take the auction seriously, and his gaze becoming sharp.

"I don't know. It disappeared with my mother's death. I didn't expect to see it here. I've never thought I'd ever see it again."

Daisy's lips curled upward, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

"Don't worry. I'm here." Since it was his mother-in-law's legacy, he would definitely get the necklace for Daisy. After all, it was the first time she asked him for something.

"Well..." Daisy opened her mouth to thank him. But remembering Edward's anger, she swallowed back the words. When Edward said "I'm here," Daisy was deeply touched. In many cases, the most touching words weren't "love you" or "together", but "I'm here."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're now going to bid for a precious item from an imperial concubine in the Qing Dynasty. Look carefully, it has a high collection value that ordinary treasures do not compare with. It also has a sad but beautiful name, 'A Beauty's Tears of Blood."

The host deliberately paused to add suspense and arouse the audience's interest. Looking at the audience's excitement, the host continued, "This is the most precious item for the auction, so there's no need to mention how expensive it is. Its starting price will be much higher than the rest."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the guests immediately got excited. Everyone wanted to know how expensive the item was.

"Alright, please calm down. Now, the hostess will show you the item." The host waved his hand, signalling for silence.

As the guzheng music slowly played, an extremely attractive hostess appeared onstage in an evening gown. The moment she came into view, everyone was fascinated by the necklace on her neck.

No words could be used to describe the beauty of the necklace. It was a string of bright tourmalines, with a blood-red transparent crystal in the shape of a teardrop at the bottom, which clung to the model's white skin like the tears of blood shed by a beauty. The blood-red jewel sparkled brightly like a beautiful sunset, giving the impression that your hand would be stained with blood if you touched it. It was so beautiful that it made you not able to take eyes off it and made you feel thrilled.

Illuminated by the lights, the sparkling teardrop crystal resembled flowing blood. The necklace was even more beautiful and striking in contrast to the model's white skin. The entire room collectively held their breaths, no one daring to make a sound. Everyone was captivated by the enchanting sight.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Daisy grasped Edward's sleeve tightly. She got anxious that the necklace would be purchased by someone else.

Frowning slightly, Edward took her hand quietly. He glanced at the audience with a wicked grin that was just as captivating as the necklace.

"All right, the auction will begin now. The starting price for the item is 10 million. Let's see who will get it." As soon as guzheng music stopped, the host's voice filled the room. What a high starting price!

"20 million."

"25 million."

"27 million."

The temperature in the room rose, everyone eager to get the necklace. The price kept soaring as everyone made their bids on the rare treasure. Everyone wanted to know who would acquire the treasure in the end.

As the price continued to rise, Daisy started to get worried. She couldn't help but look at Edward, who looked relaxed throughout the whole process. "We're not bidding?"

"Don't worry. After everyone bids, we'll place a bid. It won't be too late." Edward gave her a reassuring smile, glancing at the bidders with a sneer in his eyes.

The price was already high, but people kept raising it. Either these guys were rich or they were coerced by their wives. Otherwise, why would they keep bidding? Perhaps they had made a lot of money from cooperating with the FX International Group. In that case, he would be happy to raise the price of the cooperation plan by one percent to see if they still had the extra money to purchase the luxury goods.
