Evelyn cheered gleefully while shooting a look at Melanie.
Even though the light wasn’t bright, she could still make out Melanie's face.
There wasn't a ripple of emotion on it.
What an act! Evelyn couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Did she really think playing the aloof queen would keep Dominic in her grasp?
Just as she was thinking this, she heard Dominic earnestly say to Melanie, “Melanie, even though I bought jewelry for Evelyn, I won’t play favorites. I said I’d buy you whatever you like, and I will.”
Dominic patted his chest, making a promise to Melanie.
However, Melanie didn’t even spare him a glance.
Dominic’s expression shifted slightly.
He felt the little patience he had left was about to be completely exhausted by Melanie.
“Next up… is the final piece of jewelry for this auction. After this, we will move on to other categories. So for our guests who love jewelry, please don't miss this opportunity!”
As the auctioneer spoke, Dominic quickly prompted Melanie, “Melanie, this is the last piece of jewelry.”
Melanie looked at the pearl tiara being displayed on stage and shook her head.
“I don’t like it.”
“You…”
Dominic was dumbfounded.
This was the first time he realized just how ungrateful Melanie could be.
He glanced at Evelyn, who was admiring the diamond brooch he’d bought her, unable to put it down.
Suddenly, Dominic realized he had spoken too harshly to Evelyn earlier.
Even though she was in the wrong, at least she knew her mistake and was willing to humble herself to please him.
And then there was Melanie…
Dominic turned his head, his gaze on Melanie slowly cooling.
In the end, the final jewelry item, the pearl tiara, was sold to another buyer.
Dominic hadn't raised his paddle once.
