Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 396

Nell glanced at Joel and mumbled, “I can buy whatever I like on my own.”

She was no longer the same person as before. With Xinghui and her acting career, she made quite a sum of money for herself.

Although her financial status was incomparable to that of a nouveau riche like Gideon, she could still afford to buy something that she liked.

Gideon curled his lips slightly. “Mm, you can buy anything you like.”

His remark caught Nell by surprise. When she turned to look at him, she noticed the hint of a smile on his face, and then she remembered that all of his cards, property deeds and shares belonged to her.

This meant that she was in possession of the man’s entire wealth. If he wanted to buy something for her, he had to get money from her.

Her cheeks began to feel warm and her heart started beating rapidly out of joy and excitement.

Joel was oblivious to their private matters as he stared at them with widened eyes.

“Second Elder Brother, don’t be so stingy! Aren’t you going to get a gift for Sis-in-law?”

He darted his gaze and eyed Nell with a grin. “Sis-in-law, how about this? You introduce me to a female friend and I’ll buy you whatever you like.”

Nell rolled her eyes and scoffed, “I’m not that unethical. I won’t harm another girl and send her into a flaming pit.”

Joel was furious. “Since when did I become a flaming pit? Don’t you know that so many girls in this country want to marry me?”

Nell chuckled. “Tell me again once you have shaken off the title of Don Juan. If that’s the case, I’ll be impressed.”

Joel was peeved.

At the same time, an auctioned item caught her attention.

It was a white jade hairpin that shimmered brilliantly. It was said that the hairpin was a dowry that belonged to Madam Prosperità a thousand years ago, and it symbolized luck and prosperity.

The hairpin was also known as the hairpin of Luck and Prosperity.

Nell was not particularly attracted to vintage trinkets, but for some reason, the hairpin had caught her eye.

The starting price was three hundred thousand.

It was just an accessory. With the exception of its intricate design, Madam Prosperità was not a famous figure, so the item’s starting price was not high.

Gideon had been observing Nell’s expression closely. He noticed that she was staring at the hairpin intently and he asked, “Do you like it?”

Nell nodded.

The man called out a bid.

“The Hairpin of Luck and Prosperity, no. 32, 1 million!”

Nell was astonished. Nobody else had yet bid for the hairpin that cost three hundred thousand, but he had called out a million.

She tugged at the man’s sleeve and tried to signal him to be less aggressive.

Gideon lowered her head and smiled at her, whispering, “Others will follow suit.”

Indeed, somebody in the first row called out, “No. 16, 1.1 million!”

“No. 32, 2 million!”

“No. 16, 2.1 million!”

“No. 32, 3 million!”

“No. 16, 3.1 million!”

“No. 32, 4 million!”

“No. 16, 4.1 million!”

“No. 32, 5 million!”

“No. 16, 5.1 million!”

Nell stopped her husband when she realized that he was about to increase his bid.

Just now, she noticed that the person who had bid for the same item was also a woman.

Since somebody else liked it, fine! There was no need to spend 5 million on a hairpin. She knew Gideon was rich, but he should not spend his money like this.

She whispered to him, “Forget it, let her have it!”
