My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 946

Chapter 946 Five Hundred Million

“Alice Chapman is my youngest daughter and also Ashlyn's biological mother!” Bob replied as he held his tears back. “This red jade belonged to Ashlyn's mother, yet the poor girl had never seen it before. Mr. Yates, I understand you've made up your mind and have no intention of returning the jade to us. In that case, I'd be grateful if you could consider my request.”

“What is it? I'll think about it as long as it's within my power,” Ryan answered. Mr. Chapman may have moved me a little with his words, but there's still no way I'd give the red jade away. It is, without a doubt, from our family. That said, I can't explain how the Chapmans got their hands on it...

“Can Ashlyn take a look at it before you keep it? Please?” Bob begged, his gaze steady and earnest.

Ryan was no cold-hearted man, so it wasn't surprising that he couldn't stand a man of his mother's age looking at him so pitifully.

The next second, he walked up to Ashlyn. “Ms. Berry, since your grandfather has requested it, you may have a look at the jade.”

As it turned out, Ashlyn hadn't moved from her seat the entire time. I-I finally get to see what Mom left behind, huh?

She had heard the disagreement between Bob and Ryan and Mary's seemingly innocent explanation.

Now, she could feel everyone's eyes on her as they chattered among themselves.

When she finally looked down at the open hand before her, all she could see was the beautiful piece of red jade.

It exuded a warm, comforting glow that reminded Ashlyn of a mother's loving gaze.

Her mind had gone blank in that instance, yet strangely enough, she couldn't help reaching for the red jade and clutching it tightly. Oh... It feels like I'm holding Mom's hand...

By then, she was all teary-eyed.

Mom... Was this your most prized possession? Can I still feel your warmth on it? Oh, but it's too late now. If I had known this belonged to Mom, I wouldn't have let Ryan win the auction!

After a brief silence, Ashlyn finally looked up and stared into Ryan's eyes. “Please sell this to me, Mr. Yates. What do you want for it? One hundred million? Two hundred million? Feel free to name your price.”

As her voice resonated in the auction hall, everyone turned to her in wide-eyed amazement.
