This was the first ti he had encountered soone like Ashton Heath bidding at an auction.
He was simply too willful.
The man couldn’t even imagine how outrageous the price would beco if he continued bidding.
Even if he was determined to win Rebecca Kelloway’s heart, he couldn’t afford to keep up with this price.
It was at this mont that he realized the massive financial gap between him and Ashton Heath.
"70 million dollars now. Is there anyone offering a higher bid?" The auctioneer was so excited that his voice significantly increased in pitch.
There was silence for a few seconds.
"Is there anyone offering a higher price?" The auctioneer inquired again loudly.
Rebecca Kelloway’s face turned ugly as she clenched her fists and looked at the man beside her.
The man turned his head and, not wanting to keep up the façade, said apologetically, "I’m sorry, Miss Kelloway. I really can’t compete with President Ashton. I said I would give this jewelry set to you, but now I’m going back on my word. I’m truly sorry."
"If it were anyone else, I might have a shot. But against President Ashton, there’s no way I can outbid him. Miss Kelloway, I’ve tried my best." The man’s voice lowered, feeling defeated.
When Ashton Heath stated the 70 million dollar bid, Rebecca Kelloway no longer had any expectations from the man beside her.
Because she realized that Ashton Heath was determined to have that jewelry set.
Who could possibly outbid him for sothing he wanted?
So, Rebecca Kelloway didn’t bla the man beside her.
Just a second ago, she was the envy of others.
The next mont, she was humiliated in front of so many people.
She didn’t understand.
Why did Ashton Heath have to be so difficult with her?
Why did he have to make her lose face in public, ti and ti again, and beco the joke of others?
How could he treat her like this!
No, this definitely couldn’t be his intention.
It must have been Joanna Lawrence.
It was Joanna Lawrence who made him do this.
That vile woman didn’t want her to steal the lilight and deliberately used this to humiliate her!
"Manager Joshua Ranson, don’t bla yourself. It’s not your fault." Rebecca Kelloway clenched her teeth, her hateful gaze fixed on the front row. "You really can’t beat Ashton Heath. Forget it. If they want that jewelry set so much, let them have it."
"Is there anyone bidding higher than 70 million dollars? 70 million dollars going once, 70 million dollars going twice, 70 million dollars going thrice! Sold! This jewelry set, which was Queen Elena’s favorite, now belongs to Mr. Ashton."
In the final call of the auctioneer’s hamr, the jewelry set was won by Ashton Heath.
Needless to say, Rebecca Kelloway’s face was extrely unsightly.
The others who had witnessed the exciting bidding war were now eagerly discussing it.
"I knew it. With Ashton Heath making a move, no one could possibly outbid him. Spending 70 million dollars to buy this jewelry set, the Heath family’s wealth is just too substantial. The Ranson family is decent too, but they really can’t compare with the Heath family."
"Luckily, Mr. Joshua Ranson knows his limits and didn’t continue to bid. Otherwise, how would he save face later."
"Ashton Heath spent 70 million dollars to buy this jewelry set for Joanna Lawrence, and it’s as if he snatched it away from Rebecca Kelloway. Kelloway must be livid. What was originally her chance to show off has now turned into a slap in her face."
As Rebecca Kelloway listened to the surrounding discussions, her teeth dug deep into her lip, her face burning as if she had been slapped several tis.
