She was confounded.
However, it did not seem like Jared would court a married woman.
Hence, Ashlyn was definitely not Mrs. Nolan.
The auctioneer at the stage had started to call out the prices. Coincidentally, the starting bid was 500 thousand.
The item that Mrs. Nolan did not want was the same price as the artwork that Hera was proud of.
The latter could sense the surrounding people staring at her with mocking eyes.
The corners of her lips twitched in barely concealed anger.
Just as the crowd was wondering what amount they should bid, Ashlyn said, “One million.”
A glint was in Lucas’ eyes. “You like it?”
Ashlyn glanced at him before smiling brightly. “Who doesn’t like diamonds?”
Then why didn’t you take it away?
Lucas gritted his teeth, furious.
Does she not like it because I was the one to give it to her?
The more Lucas thought about it, the angrier and more frustrated he got.
In other words, she’s telling me she doesn’t like me.
If she doesn’t like me, why did she sleep with me?
Why was she so enthusiastic and passionate on the bed?
Lucas nearly ground his teeth flat.
There was a raging bonfire burning in his chest. He wanted to ignore all social pleasantries and drag this woman back to lock her up.
That way, she would not have the chance to laugh at him here.
The moment Ashlyn joined in, many of the audience started buttering Lucas up.
Soon, his diamond necklace was worth nine million.
In the end, one wealthy businessman who was interested in working with Nolan Group outbid the rest.
