Chapter 23
Marie grew worried when noticing the change in Jalen.
Elaina ignored Jalen and Marie and whispered to Theodore, “I wonder when the item I sponsored will
be
auctioned.”
She was quite curious about the final price.
“It’s still early. Mr. Dorthea’s new works haven’t been available in the market for so many years. Your
painting must be the final auction item,” Theodore replied.
But he immediately shook his head and asked, “Are you sure it’s okay to donate his painting just like
this?”
“He is my master and won’t say anything about it.” Elaina curled her lips with no worry and added,
“Besides, he gave me that painting, so I have the right to decide what it’ll be used for.”
“That’s true. You are his last student. I don’t think he will blame you.”
“Of course, he’s very kind to me.”
They spoke in a low voice, so Jalen, who was sitting at the side, could not hear what they said. He
could only see them talking and laughing, feeling enraged for no reason.
He thought, you just want to be her brother?
I don’t believe it!
As a man, he could see the affection in Theodore’s eyes and didn’t believe that Theodore only
considered Elaina his sister.
Soon, the auction began, and everyone became quiet.
The first item was a diamond necklace sponsored by a rich man. When the host on stage mentioned
his name, he even stood up and waved at everyone.
Theodore asked Elaina if she was interested. Elaina shook her head. She was never interested in a
diamond.
She didn’t like it, but Marie was very excited. Her eyes lit up when she saw such a big diamond.
Jalen asked, “Do you like it?”
“Yes.” Marie nodded and quickly added, “But I can just take a look.”
She was being hypocritical. If she just wanted to take a look, she didn’t have to tell Jalen that she liked
it.
Jalen bid and got it as expected. He did not look at the necklace and directly gave it to Marie. This
made many people at the scene suspicious of the true relationship between them.
Those people wondered, is she really just his sister? I don’t believe it.
The auction continued. Elaina was not interested in the next few items, feeling bored and sleepy.
“The next item is a pair of emerald earrings. The starting price is 800 thousand dollars.” Chapter 23
1/3
As soon as the host finished speaking, someone immediately bid. It could be seen that many people
liked
this pair of earrings.
When Elaina saw the earrings, her eyes instantly lit up. She also liked the earrings and was suddenly in
high
spirits.
Theodore noticed this change and raised the sign without hesitation. “1.5 million dollars!”
“Theodore…” Elaina looked at him.
“If you like, then let’s buy them. I have enough money, don’t worry.” Theodore was determined to buy
the
earrings for Elaina because there was finally an item she liked.
Hearing this, Elaina smiled and did not say anything else. She didn’t have to stand on ceremony in
front of
him. “Thank you, Theodore.”
Hearing Theodore’s price, many people stopped bidding. The earrings were good, but they thought
they were
not worth more than 1.5 million dollars.
“1.5 million dollars, going once!”
“Going twice!”
“Going…”
“3 million dollars!”
Jalen bid. Everyone was surprised to find that he would bid against Theodore.
Elaina looked at Jalen beside her and frowned slightly, wondering if he was against her deliberately or
if
Marie also liked this pair of earrings.
“Mr. Halton, you’re trying to get what I want.” Theodore had a faint smile on his face, knowing that Jalen
was
deliberately going against him.
“The person who offers a higher price gets it. I think you should be clear about this.” Jalen meant that if
Theodore didn’t have enough money, he’d better give up as soon as possible.
Theodore sneered and raised his bidding sign again. “5 million dollars!”
“6 million dollars,” Jalen said calmly.
“8 million dollars!”
“10 million dollars.”
Theodore still wanted to bid, but Elaina stopped him. “Forget it. Although the earrings are good, it is not
worth that price.”
The final price was 10 million dollars…
Everyone thought Jalen was being stupid.
Get Bogus
Elaina did not want Theodore to be a fool. As for Jalen, he was rich and willful, so she could say
nothing.
