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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie 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!
She was the daughter of the Yarn family and was about to be married into the Lefting family. She had always been
of noble birth. How could she allow Gale to show her up?!
Gale was just lucky enough to marry into the Wood family!
Natalie was a proper heiress!
“Yes, I’ll bid 1.65 billion,” Aurum said.
He added another fifty million.
Aurum only chose to bid for it because he could tell that Natalie really wanted it.
He could also tell that Gale did not.
Gale had already talked to him about fleeing Sea City.
There was no way she could accept something so expensive from Shawn.
Before the auctioneer could say anything, Shawn immediately said, “2.8 billion dollars.”
Just a billion and a half was an astronomical amount of a crown!
Shawn actually bid more than double that!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie’s face immediately looked ashen.
That was far too expensive!
Even if she wanted it, she still needed to think about the bigger picture. The Wood Group was wealthy and powerful.
Shawn could spend that much money to buy the Heart of the Sea without batting an eye. She could not be so
stubborn!
She had to think about Aurum! She needed to ensure he did not embarrass himself in front of so many people!
Clenching her teeth, she forced herself to smile. “Aurum, let’s forget about it… Since Mr. Wood seems to really want
to get this for Mrs. Wood, let’s give it to them.”
She pressed his arm in secret.
Aurum naturally knew what she meant.
Natalie said, “After all, this is the first time Mr. Wood is appearing in public with Mrs. Wood. It’s understandable that
he wants to show his love for her. We’ll be seeing Mrs. Wood a lot in the future.”
Those words seemed to be positive toward Gale, but Natalie was actually mocking Gale for never making an
appearance before this!
