Maxwell lightly patted Gianna’s shoulder and gave her a faint smile.

“You’re really good at spinning things positively. Whitney probably thought she could humiliate us, but we flipped it back on her.”

Gianna lifted her chin smugly. “Hmph. She’s the one who overpaid like crazy. I bet she’s regretting it now.”

The two reassured each other, both clearly feeling satisfied.

When the auction wrapped up, most guests didn’t rush out. Unless someone had urgent business, they usually stayed to mingle.

An auction of that level attracted powerful and influential people.

With shared interests and similar goals, it naturally turned into a social event.

Building connections there could only help their families and businesses later on.

Maxwell and Gianna, though, had no interest in any of that.

As they left their seats, they ran straight into Amelia and Whitney walking toward them.

“Oh, sorry. I actually wanted to bid on that jewelry earlier, but I didn’t think it was worth it, so I stopped.

“I didn’t expect you to spend that much on it. My bad.”

Gianna’s tone was clearly sarcastic, deliberately letting Whitney know she believed she had tricked her into overpaying.

“Yeah. If Gianna doesn’t want it, I won’t force it. I just feel bad that Mrs. Curran had to spend so much.”

Dragged along by Gianna, Maxwell couldn’t help adding his own jab.

“It’s fine. I wanted it. Even at that price, I don’t think it’s expensive. I have plenty of money.”

Whitney didn’t look offended at all by their obvious sarcasm.

Gianna and Maxwell went quiet.

Whitney’s confidence left them speechless.

She was indeed rich and didn’t care, so that price meant nothing to her.

But for some reason, it sounded incredibly annoying. It made them want to punch her.

Of course, that stayed in Maxwell’s head. He didn’t dare touch her.

“And besides, this jewelry set carries special meaning. The story behind it is beautiful. I want to win it for Amelia, no matter the price.

“Oh, right. It was Jeremy who asked me to bid on it for Amelia. Hehe.”

Chapter 492 His Sincerity

As soon as Whitney said that, Amelia looked a little stunned.

She’d thought Whitney bought it because she liked it herself. How did it suddenly become a gift for her?

Before anyone could react, a tall figure appeared, walking toward them as if wrapped in soft silver light.

Amelia looked closer and realized it was Jeremy.

He was holding the jewelry set that had just sold for a sky-high price, walking straight toward her.

He handed her the beautifully wrapped box. His voice was low and husky, a little nervous, yet magnetic.

“I heard the designer created this set together with her husband. It symbolizes walking side by side and facing the future together.

“Amelia, I hope you’ll accept it—and also give me a chance to stand beside you and move forward together.”

Jeremy knew she wasn’t an ordinary girl. She didn’t want to rely on anyone or be kept by someone else.

Luckily, he could walk with her, understand her, support her, and only give his love to her.

His public confession stunned everyone present.

No wonder Whitney had bid so decisively and spent so much on the jewelry set.

It turned out she was clearing the path for her son to win the girl he loved.

People couldn’t help pulling out their phones to secretly take photos.

“I…” Amelia was shocked and a little shy.

But she didn’t feel uncomfortable or pushed away.

Instead, she felt pleasantly surprised.

They weren’t clueless. They both knew they liked each other.

She’d assumed they would naturally end up together if nothing went wrong.

She never imagined this cool, distant man would confess so openly.

There were no flashy setups, no dramatic speeches.

Still, his sincere gaze and simple, heartfelt words made her heart race.

Especially because everything he said was exactly what she’d been hoping to hear.
