Chapter 448
He could give it to her, but he refused to. Instead, he wanted to spend so much on jewelry to prove his love.
“Freedom… I wouldn’t be able to get you back no matter how much money I spend. So, I can’t give it to you, Galey, || Shawn answered.
“You just don’t want to.”
He pursed his lips and said, “I can give you anything else.
Gale pursed her lips and smiled bitterly.
The auctioneer reacted and quickly tried to salvage the situation. “Mrs. Wood must think it’s too expensive. She must be thinking about Mr. Wood’s bank account. The auction continues. Mr. Wood bid a million and six hundred. Are there any higher bids?”
Up till then, only two people had bid on it.
It did not seem like Aurum was going to bid anymore.
Natalie almost shattered her teeth from grinding her jaws too hard.
All of the attention that day had fallen on Gale! She had not gotten any at all!
Even a well–known actress like Winnie had been ignored!
They could not believe that Gale even dared to pretend that she did not want the Heart of the Sea. She was clearly just putting up an act!
Anyone could tell that Natalie really wanted Aurum to buy it.
Yet, when Shawn bid with such a high number, Gale said she did not want it in front of everyone.
Was Gale not just trying to show her up?! She acted like she did not care for it, but still got to feel superior!
“Aurum… What should we do?” Natalie asked.
“It looks like Shawn will insist on buying this.”
“Then, will you still try to buy it?” She had some anticipation.
He had already bid 1.5 billion, so an extra 100 million was nothing.
She really wanted the Heart of the Sea. It was not just a crown, but it represented her pride and dignity as well!
