Rebecca Kelloway and the man beside her both froze simultaneously.
People around them also looked in the direction of the voice.
Ashton Heath, sitting in the front row, calmly raised his sign.
Seeing him raise the sign, Yannick Luther smirked, with a "I knew it" expression, and said: "Ashton, I knew you would make a move. But the timing of your move was so tight, just one more second, and these jewels would belong to soone else."
"Ashton, what are you doing?" Joanna Lawrence stretched out her hand to tug at his sleeve, squinting her eyes a bit nervously, "Didn’t I tell you that I don’t want these jewels? Why are you still going to bid for them?"
She kept her voice low, audible only to the two of them.
Ashton Heath lowered his head to look at her: "Don’t you like them?"
Joanna Lawrence: "..."
She did like them, but she had told him that she just found them beautiful and wanted to appreciate them, that’s all.
What a spendthrift!
This was thirty million dollars, not thirty thousand!
"If you like them, bid for them," Ashton Heath reached out and rubbed her head, smiling indulgently, "I don’t want others to say that I’m stingy and won’t give a single penny to the woman I love. I don’t care if they say sothing about , but I won’t allow them to ridicule you."
"There have only been others envying my woman, never my woman envying others."
Ashton Heath hadn’t heard all the whispers from before, but he caught a few.
As he said, he didn’t care much about how others saw him.
But he couldn’t tolerate others making fun of Joanna Lawrence.
"Impressive, absolutely impressive." Yannick Luther gave Ashton Heath a thumbs up, his face full of admiration, "Ashton, I just realized that when you say sweet nothings, you’re even cheesier than . I admire your self-taught talent."
Ashton Heath expressionlessly glared at him.
"Thirty million dollars, Mr. Ashton Heath has raised the price to thirty million dollars. Is there a higher price?" The auctioneer’s excited voice rang out again.
Ashton Heath’s unexpected move stunned the people at the venue.
The won who had just been envying Rebecca Kelloway now directed their envious gazes at Joanna Lawrence.
"Who was it that said Ashton Heath was stingy just now? I knew it, the President of the Heath Group’s money is endless. Where would he be unwilling to spend these tens of millions of dollars?"
"Did you see that? Rebecca Kelloway’s face seed to turn green. She must be fuming. She thought those jewels would surely be hers, only to be intercepted by soone else."
"Do you think Mr. Sheldon will continue bidding? If he is not willing to bid any further, and these wjewels are taken by Ashton Heath, wouldn’t that leave Rebecca Kelloway with no face?"
"Continue bidding? That would be simply looking for embarrassnt. In terms of money, who can compete with the Heath family?"
"It depends on how much he values Rebecca Kelloway and whether he’s willing to spend a lot of money to save face for her."
Rebecca Kelloway had never expected Ashton Heath to make a last-minute move like this.
She was dumbfounded for a while before coming back to her senses.
The man beside her was obviously surprised too, maintaining the sa expression on his face for quite so ti.
Ashton Heath had gone straight to a price of thirty million dollars.
That additional twenty million plus dollars was already painful for the man.
When the auctioneer on stage asked again if there was a higher bid, he hesitated.
