The noble madam set a final bottom-line price for herself.
If the cost exceeded twenty million dollars, she would no longer bid.
"Twenty million dollars! Is anyone willing to offer a higher price than Madam Young?"
This price made the man beside Rebecca Kelloway, who wholeheartedly intended to win her favor, hesitate.
After all, although he wanted to win Rebecca’s heart, they hadn’t confird any relationship between them yet.
Was spending more than twenty million dollars to pursue a woman worth it?
As the man hesitated, the surrounding gossip started again.
"Do you think that Mr. Sheldon will continue bidding? It seems like he’s hesitating."
"He wants to buy the jewelry as a gift for Rebecca, right? Now that everyone knows about this, if he gives up, wouldn’t Rebecca feel like she’s losing face?"
"That’s right. If it were Ashton Heath, he’d probably spend up to one hundred million dollars to win the bid. If Mr. Sheldon doesn’t bid further, it would just prove that Rebecca isn’t worth more than twenty million dollars in his heart. Wouldn’t that be a slap in her face?"
As these people discussed, they watched Rebecca with the ntality of enjoying a good show.
Rebecca had no interest in the man beside her.
So she didn’t have any feelings for his actions of spending money on jewelry to win her favor.
But after hearing the surrounding people’s gossip, her expression changed bit by bit.
Looking at the crowd seemingly waiting to see her make a fool of herself, she clenched her lips. Her competitive spirit was ignited, making it impossible to remain calm any longer.
She turned her head, pretending not to know that the man’s bid for the jewelry was to win her favor, and whispered to him, "Manager Joshua Ranson, this jewelry set is beautiful, and I really like it. Can you do a favor and not raise the price, so I can have it?"
"Ms. Kelloway, do you really like this jewelry?"
"Yes, it’s so beautiful. I fell in love with it the mont I saw it. I want to get this jewelry. Can you ..."
The man stared at her stunningly beautiful face, seemingly captivated for a few seconds.
Rebecca’s voice beca even lower, as if whispering sweet nothings into the man’s ear, "Manager Joshua Ranson, can you? I really want this jewelry."
At first, the man was still hesitating whether to continue bidding or not.
However, upon hearing Rebecca’s gentle whisper in his ear, he felt as though his entire body turned limp and his blood boiled. On impulse, he imdiately said, "As long as Ms. Kelloway likes it, I’ll give it to you."
"But how could I accept it? I can’t let you spend that kind of money for sothing I want." Rebecca refused decisively.
The more she refused, the more the man wanted to give it to her.
"Why not? Your happiness ans more than anything. Such jewelry is ant for a beauty like you. No one else would deserve this jewelry set other than you, Ms. Kelloway.".
"But it’s too expensive..." Rebecca’s face showed conflict.
"As long as Ms. Kelloway likes it, no expense is too great." The man looked infatuated, staring at her while expressing his devotion, "Please don’t refuse, give the opportunity to give you a gift."
After saying that, he raised the sign in his hand, fearing further rejection from Rebecca, and promptly bid, "Twenty-five million dollars."
"Wow!"
Gasps of astonishnt sounded around them.
"Mr. Sheldon is very generous towards Rebecca. He must really like her."
"With this price, no one else should participate in the bidding, right? It seems like the jewelry will fall into Rebecca’s hands."
