It was difficult to determine the value of the headdress, especially when it was an antique.
Ashlyn could not help but suck in a breath. She fixed her burning gaze at the kingfisher headdress. She loved it so very much.
The headdress’ colors were vibrant, and it was made with the most exquisite materials; in the past, only royalties were fit to wear headdresses like this.
Wealthy families would wear were the golden and silver ones.
This was the first time she had seen an antique headdress that was preserved so well.
It was magnificent.
In modern times, although some actors and actresses in plays would wear headdresses, the ones they wore were counterfeits.
Once the auctioneer announced its price of ten million, she uttered, “Twenty million.”
Almost at the same time, a man’s voice rang out. “Twenty million.”
The crowd was stunned. Jared loves her that much?
All of them thought Jared was the one paying.
However, they were more surprised when they realized Lucas seemed to like it as well. They’re so synchronized! Both called out an increment of ten million at the same time. Not one million or five million; it was ten million.
It seemed like they were determined to get it.
When Lucas saw the headdress, he was astounded. Once he recalled that Madeline Saunders had a preference for items like this, he was tempted to get it.
The next thing he thought about was Fae’s words. She had told him to cater to Madeline’s liking.
If he were going to meet Madeline, he could not be stingy with his gift.
However, he had not expected Ashlyn to like it too.
He stared at the headdress with a complicated look in his eyes before he said, “Let her have it.”
The crowd was silent; no one else called out a higher price.
Ashlyn turned to Jared. “The money.”
Jared swiftly stood up to swipe his card when Winsor rushed in front of him. “I’ll be the one to pay!”
The auctioneer looked at both of them and uttered, “There’s no need to rush. Mr. Nolan has already paid for it.”
Both Jared and Winsor were dumbfounded.
Dixon looked at Lucas nonchalantly as a wicked grin grew on his feminine face. “I wonder what Mr. Nolan’s collection is.”
