As the price kept climbing, Larissa felt helpless. She hadn’t even been interested in the necklace, yet it had somehow turned into this spectacle.
She gently tugged on Isaac’s sleeve and whispered, “Isaac, stop bidding. I really don’t want it.”
Isaac hesitated, then nodded.
Just then, Wesley called out an astronomical bid of one billion and won the necklace.
The host announced loudly, “Congratulations, Mr. Robinett! The Eternal Star sapphire necklace has been sold for one billion and now belongs to Mr. Robinett!
“Could it be that the famously reserved Mr. Robinett has finally found someone he loves?
“Aren’t you all curious who the lucky lady is?”
Wesley stood, walked up to the stage, took the necklace, and then walked straight toward Larissa. “Larissa, this is for you.”
Everyone in the room saw it happen, and a wave of astonished murmurs broke out.
“Oh, my God! Did you see that? Mr. Robinett immediately gave the Eternal Star to the Sowles‘ little princess.”
“They really are perfect together. A match made in heaven.”
“Ms. Sowle is so lucky. If I were her, I’d faint from happiness receiving a billion–dollar necklace.”
“Why would Mr. Robinett give her something like that? Has he really fallen for the Sowles‘ princess?”
“How much of this is real love, and how much is just for show?”
Once again, Larissa became the center of attention.
Listening to their whispers, she felt speechless. She didn’t want it at all. It was too flashy, too excessive, too attention–grabbing. Is Wesley out of his mind? Giving me a billion–dollar necklace so casually.
“I don’t want it.”
Larissa refused directly.
Wesley hadn’t expected her to reject it so cleanly, without hesitation.
She really is different.
“Then I’ll keep it for now. One day, it’ll be yours.”
“Didn’t you hear her? Mr. Robinett, keep your distance from my sister. She made it clear she’s not interested in you.”

Chapter 122 Everheart Bloom
Isaac glared at him angrily.
If they weren’t in public, he would’ve already thrown a punch.
Seeing this, Alvin felt something inside him finally settle.

Even he didn’t understand why. They had only met three times, yet he found himself caring about that girl.
He didn’t even know what love was.
So he didn’t realize he had already begun to fall for Larissa.
The auction continued, and the following items were all rare medicinal herbs.
Finally, Everheart Bloom appeared.
The host introduced it. “Everheart Bloom is extremely rare and precious. It is a key ingredient in high- grade medicines and is said to extend one’s lifespan.”
Larissa’s eyes lit up. She had been waiting for this.
“The starting bid is 80 million.” The moment the host finished speaking, Larissa raised her paddle. “Eighty million.” She had to win it.
