Chapter 552
“Lance.” Keira called out, a hint of confusion in her voice as she noticed Lance’s hesitation.
Snapping back to reality, Lance saw the unease and humility on Keira’s face, gritting his teeth. Eventually, he found his resolve again, lifting his paddle to bid, “Thirteen million!”
Chloe scoffed, also raising her paddle, her voice icy. “Thirty million!”
Her words sent a low murmur through the room. The jump in bidding broke yet another record for the night, reminding some of the pas relationship between Chloe and Lance. Could it be that Chloe couldn’t bear to see Lance successfully win the “My Queen” piece for her sister?
Two sisters fighting over a man, drama was certainly not in short supply tonight.
Despite the escalating price, Keira felt immense joy watching Chloe lose control. Lance’s face turned increasingly grim, clearly troubled by Chloe’s actions.
At that moment, Keira took his hand, whispering, “Lance, you don’t have to keep going. I don’t need it.”
Lance just shook his head, his eyes filled with a touch of helplessness. He glanced at Chloe, sitting there coldly, oblivious to what she might be thinking.
Once again, he raised his paddle, “Forty million!”
The atmosphere in the room instantly peaked as everyone eagerly watched the standoff between the former fiancés.
Sure enough, Chloe soon raised her paddle again, “Sixty million!”
The room was stunned by the price, Jeanette at Chloe’s side jumping in surprise.
She clutched Chloe’s arm nervously, whispering carefully, “Ms. Summers, this is too much. You could buy so many rings with sixty million. Why this one?”
Knowing Chloe, she didn’t believe Chloe was still hung up on that jerk Lance, especially with a boyfriend who was leagues better than
Lance.
“Why? Because this is what Lance wants to give to Keira.” Chloe’s voice was icy, her face cold.
Her answer was known to everyone, but Jeanette looked up at Damon, afraid to see a storm brewing on his face. Unexpectedly, not only was he not upset, but a slight smile appeared on his face, full of indulgence and tolerance.
Jeanette was completely lost! This was truly baffling. Almost everyone was under the impression that Chloe and Keira were jealous over a man, yet her boyfriend seemed so open–minded.
Chloe’s sixty million once again shocked everyone.
“What? Mr. Olson has already cut ties with her, and she’s still messing around here! Shameless!”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride
did it really end this way. can I have the rest of the book ending??...
So, all of them were basically forced into sexual acts by their partners the first time, then their partners wanted to seclude them from everyone. On top of that, all of are jealous of their own children. The only couple that seem to have it good were Azriel & Phoebe. This book was honestly quite sickening & there’s no way anyone should find this romantic...
