“2.6 billion.” Janet, who was nearby, suddenly raised her bid paddle.
Cate gripped Shaun’s hand. “Stop raising your paddle. She definitely can’t afford it. She’s just driving up the price on purpose.”
Shaun could not be bothered about her. He used another hand to raise his paddle. “Three billion.”
The hall was in an uproar.
With 2.3 billion dollars being his limit, Nathan glared at Shaun intently. How cruel Shaun was! Nathan clenched his fists with dissatisfaction as not only did he fail to win Shaun’s lover, but he had failed to win the necklace as well.
Tracy, who was beside Nathan, sighed. “Fine, enough of it. A necklace worth three billion is a bit of a stretch.”
“Yeah.” Nathan looked downward, suppressing his pain deep down.
Again, Janet raised her hand. Shaun gave her a strange gaze all of a sudden. “You can raise your hand, but I won’t bid for it anymore. Think carefully whether there’s enough money in your pocket.”
Janet’s arm froze, and she hesitated at once. Indeed, she was just trying to drive up the price.
Stephen swiftly took away her paddle and warned her angrily, “Don’t be f*cking crazy. If you really spend several billion dollars on the necklace, believe me, I’m going to slap you to death.”
Petrified, Janet kept her mouth shut.
Nevertheless, she was indeed jealous at the thought of someone’s readiness to spend several billion dollars on a necklace for Cate. “Brother, why is Shaun so rich that he can easily spend several billion dollars? Could it be that he’s from the Lyons family in Canberra…”
“Shut up. That’s impossible.” Stephen did not buy it at all.
“I’ve never heard of that. Unlike him, we need a large amount of money for the company’s cash flow. I reckon he’s using up his earnings to buy the necklace. Perhaps he’s under the impression that Cate’s position as the chairwoman of Hudson has been consolidated and that her net worth will be worth several hundred billion. As such, he’s trying to touch and capture her heart with merely several billion dollars. Unfortunately, he fails to realize that Cate’s going to lose the position in no time.”
It finally dawned on Janet, but she remained annoyed. “Brother, didn’t she offend Willie yesterday? Why hasn’t he taught her a lesson?”
Stephen was stunned. When he recalled not being able to reach Willie’s assistant today, he suddenly had a sinking feeling.
Soon, he felt that he was just overthinking. “I heard Young Master Lyons wasn’t feeling well last night, so he probably hasn’t recovered.”
“It’s all Cate’s doing. She’ll be dead for sure.” Janet gave a smug smile.
At last, Shaun got the highest bid for the necklace at an astronomical price of three billion dollars.
An employee cautiously handed him The Queen’s Necklace in full view of everyone.
Shaun took out the red necklace which glittered brilliantly.
Upon taking it out, he said to Cate who was in a daze in a deep voice, “Stand up.”
Cate stood up, looking confused. His strikingly handsome figure was reflected in her bright, clear eyes.
Shaun’s exquisite, thin lips curved into a charming smile. He bent over slightly and placed the necklace around her neck. His masculine, mellow voice sounded enchanting. “From today onward, you’ll be my queen.”
“Wow!”
The guest beside her gasped in admiration.
Cate’s heart was thumping. Although the price of the necklace made her heart ache so much that it bled, the occasion had created the illusion of their wedding. The man had fulfilled all her wishes.
What surprised her more was Shaun’s romantic demeanor.
The red diamond necklace sitting on her milky skin was dazzling. It made her seem like a queen of nobility.
“Thanks. I love you.” Cate went on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips in public.
After the kiss, her pretty and fair face started blushing charmingly because she noticed that many people were looking at her. Shaun’s eyes flashed with gloominess in spite of himself.
Indeed, his woman was getting more and more attractive. He felt the urge to take a bite of her.
Nathan looked away with a sullen expression. It felt as if his heart was being painfully torn apart.
When Cate previously told him that she had fallen for Shaun, he did not quite believe it. However, he believed it now.
Indeed, the woman who used to treat him as her only lover had now fallen in love with someone else. That person was even more outstanding and well off than him.
Filled with regret, Nathan did not want to continue staying in the venue even for a moment. He turned around and was about to leave.
Who knew the screen that remained dark before this lit up all of a sudden.
Everyone thought that it was the outtake that the organizer had prepared. Nevertheless, they were all taken aback by the scene. Some voices were soon heard from the loudspeaker.
“Aren’t you afraid that Stephen will find out about this? Heh.”
“He already knows, and he won’t mind. He’s the one who asked me to sleep with you.”
“Haha. You’re right. He should be honored that I’m interested in his woman.”
“…”
The shocking conversation sounded in the venue. The man’s face was pixelated, whereas the woman’s face was clearly visible to the public. Surprisingly, it was Rosabella, the young lady from the affluent Cox family who had been stealing the spotlight these days.
Stephen had even brought her along to show off when attending some events and social activities recently. As such, everyone already knew that Rosabella was Stephen’s girlfriend.
What shocked everyone more was that Stephen was under no illusions about this matter. He actually arranged for his girlfriend to sleep with another man.
How horrifying!
Tonight’s auction was attended by a lot of rich ladies. They gazed at Stephen with disdain and disgust.
The situation sent Stephen into a blind panic. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that someone would dare to play the video of Willie and Rosabella sleeping together. Who did it?!
“Turn off the screen! Turn it off now!” He thundered in exasperation.
However, nobody listened to him. Everyone was just gossiping about it as they watched the drama unfold.
“This kind of person is terrifying indeed. He actually sent his girlfriend to another man for the sake of achieving his goal.”
“Luckily, I didn’t approve it when the Campbell family wanted to have a blind date with my daughter.”
“Yeah. It’s disgusting how he usually acts like a gentleman. I’d better stay away from the Campbell family in the future.”
“He might have sent Janet to sleep with a man too.”
“That’s possible. I initially had feelings for Janet, but I shall just forget about it. I don’t want to be cuckolded.”
In the face of the public’s criticisms, Janet was so upset that she screamed, “Who did this? It has nothing to do with me!”
Janet and Stephen, who felt smug at first, were deeply embarrassed at the moment.
When Nathan was getting ready to leave, his handsome face turned pale. He thought that he was already aware of Rosabella’s true colors. Little did he know that she was much more disgusting than he had imagined her to be. How many men had she actually been with?
The moment he recalled being in a relationship with her previously, he felt the urge to vomit.
Nathan was surrounded by the guests beside him who were watching the drama.
“I heard that he dumped Cate for the sake of Rosabella back then.”
“He was probably lured in by Rosabella’s use of devious tactics. I didn’t expect Young Master Lowe to be interested in this kind of woman.”
“Exactly. Rosabella is such a pervert. I wonder if Young Master Lowe was also into this kind of stuff back then?”
“…”
As his girlfriend, Tracy could not stand the comments, so she turned around and left.
Unable to describe his pain using words, Nathan quickly went after her.
Before he left, he caught sight of Cate glancing at him sympathetically and sarcastically. At that instant, he seemed to have understood everything.
Perhaps this was the last punishment and misery she would inflict on him.
