Chapter 338
After a moment of hesitation, Jordyn decided to cancel her plans with the waiter.
Rebecca was right–there would be plenty of chances to deal with Nyla later. There was no need to act hastily without confidence in her success. Let Nyla stay arrogant a little longer!
Back at the event, the auction was already underway.
The current item up for bid was a pink diamond necklace. The main diamond was heart–shaped, surrounded by 99 smaller diamonds that sparkled like stars around the moon. It was breathtaking, and Jordyn’s attention was instantly captivated.
“Clark, this necklace is stunning. I want it. Can you bid on it for me?” she asked.
Clark didn’t respond, but his gaze remained fixed on the necklace. He imagined how beautiful it would look on Nyla’s neck. During his business trips, he often bought her necklaces, as her collarbones were so elegant that any jewelry seemed to enhance her beauty.

When Damon raised the price to 5,000,000 dollars, Clark’s grip on his paddle tightened, his knuckles turning white. His eyes were filled with frustration. Not only was he unable to keep Nyla, but he also couldn’t win the necklace against Damon.
Jordyn looked at Clark with a touched expression, surprised that he was competing with Damon for the necklace on her behalf. However, the price had clearly exceeded the necklace’s worth.
“Clark, the necklace isn’t worth this much. If we spend that much money on it, it’s not worth it,” she said gently,

Clark’s face remained tense. He didn’t speak, nor did he raise his paddle again.
