Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 664

Once an infinity bid was made, it became a game of pure financial power, a battle that had to be fought to the bitter end.

Sebastian was rich, not insane.

Besides, upon reflection, he realized he didn’t love Bella enough to engage in such a war for her at an auction.

At the same time, he thought Lillian had completely lost her mind. He hadn’t seen her for a while and didn’t realize her condition was this severe. She’d been kicked out of the Mercer family and still hadn’t learned her lesson. Now she was here at an auction, acting like a lunatic.

An infinity bid?

She had left the Blake family with nothing and had been disowned. What capital did she have to play a game like this? Especially for an item so ridiculously expensive.

He was so glad he had divorced her. Otherwise, with her acting this crazy, he might have been the one left with the bill.

While Sebastian wasrelieved his lack of connection to Lillian, his gaze shifted to Bella with revulsion.

Bella still didn’t quite understand. What Sebastian had just said to her was far too harsh. It was just a set of jewelry. Was she that unworthy? What did he mean, it would bring bad luck?

As the auctioneer was about to call for final bids, Sebastian shot him a death glare.

Bella lowered her voice, which was now softer and more wheedling than before, with a hint of grievance. “Sebastian… we’re getting married. I just want a nice set of jewelry. Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I want something to remember it by. When our children grow up, they can also…”

Before she could finish, Sebastian lost his patience.

He was already annoyed by Bella’s reckless shopping spree at the auction, and now her insatiable greed for a multi-hundred-million-dollar antique was the last straw.

She couldn’t believe that in Sebastian’s heart, her status made her unworthy of such expensive jewelry.

Bella sat frozen to the spot, the color draining from her face as she heard the auctioneer’s hammer fall. “Congratulations to Ms. Mercer for winning the antique jewelry set.”

The moment Lillian had made the infinity bid, her name had been relayed to the auctioneer through his earpiece.

Hearing the announcement, Lillian let out a small sigh of relief.

She had clearly seen that Bella was about to stand up. She had actually intended to match her infinity bid.

Bella was the one who was truly insane. She didn’t have a penny to her name. She needed Sebastian to pay for everything she’d bought at this auction. Her own money had been scammed away by Debbie to cover gambling debts, her investments had failed completely, her house, car, and stocks were all mortgaged, and she was drowning in debt to loan sharks. How could she still act so recklessly at an auction, making one infinity bid and preparing for a second?
