Chapter 441
The crowd stopped bidding.
Bella was overjoyed and satisfied with such a good start to the auction.
“$7 million.
A calm baritone voice spoke suddenly from behind.
Bella’s breath hitched, and the smile on her face suddenly faded.
The crowd was shocked.
Justin raised the paddle in his hand high into the air from the last Tow. His expression was
cool and confident.
“That’s Justin Salvador, the president of Salvador Corporation!”
“OMG! When did he arrive? He appeared out of nowhere!”
“He’s a lowkey person, but he sure is generous!”
Justin did not lower the paddle. His burning gaze was fixed on Bella, unable to look away.
In the end, Bella did not even look back.
Seven million dollars could not even get him a look from Bella Thompson, the heiress of KS
Group.
It looked like he had to keep spending, then.
“It’s overpriced to pay $7 million for that necklace. One shouldn’t.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtspend money like that, even if he’s rich.” Alice shook her head in disgust at his action.
“The more idiots like those there are, the more hope kids out in the impoverished areas
have.” Bella curled her red lips, already cursing. Jerkface Justin in her heart.
“Congratulations, Mr. Salvador! Thank you for your support to charity!”
The auctioneer banged his gavel, and the crowd applauded fiercely.
When the camera was trained on Justin, he smiled perfunctorily.
Meanwhile, Christopher, who was sitting not far from him, pushed his glasses up with a
finger, his gaze chilly.
The auction proceeded smoothly.
All the jewelry donated for the auction was bought at high prices. Shannon even bought
one as a symbolic gesture.
But what made Bella incredibly unhappy was that whenever they
encountered a piece of jewelry nobody bid on, Justin would
deliberately bid higher than the asking price and buy it.
In just a short hour, he had already bought three pieces of jewelry and
spent more than $30 million!
Bella wore a frosty expression as she wished she could chase this
bastard out of the hall.
Right then, another not-so-valuable piece of jewelry was bought by
Justin, and the crowd started discussing, as expected.
“Is that piece worth $4 million? Mr. Salvador doesn’t have a
discerning eye, does he?”
“He’s handsome and rich, so it’s fine if he’s a little foolish. No one’s perfect!”
“Foolish, my foot! Haven’t you guys noticed? Everything Mr. Salvador has bought isn’t
valuable. Even if you’re picking at random, there’s no way you’d be able to avoid all the
valuable pieces, is there? You can tell at a glance that he’s doing this on purpose!”
Someone keenly noticed the pattern.
The crowd was shocked. “That’s true! Then, do you mean…”
“Mr. Salvador is buying the cheaper stuff to support Ms. Thompson and help create value
for her auction. He’s trying to woo the beauty!”
Zoe Hoffman watched as Justin, whom she longed for desperately, did everything he could
to please Bella Thompson. She was so angry
that her eyes reddened. She was furious.
She wished for Justin so dearly, yet he served himself up to Bella on a
silver platter. Yet still, Bella ignored him. This extreme contrast made
Zoe feel like she had suffered an unprecedented humiliation.
The crowd seemed to nod vigorously, thinking it was reasonable.
Justin could faintly make out what they were saying, and his lips.
curled slightly.
It looked like there were people who understood.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was just a shame that Bella never glanced back his way from beginning to end.
His curled lips drooped back down slightly.
“Ha. How boring.” Christopher scoffed, looking down on Justin’s
actions.
What was the use of throwing his money around? Did he think Bella was like other shallow
women who only had eyes for money?
“Allow me to introduce the next lot!”
The auctioneer’s voice was loud and clear as he pulled off the red cloth covering the glass
display in a sudden motion.
An expertly cut teardrop-shaped white diamond necklace was revealed to the crowd’s
eyes. There were hundreds of tiny blue diamonds clustered around the white diamond. It
was exquisitely chic and breathtaking!
“This piece of jewelry was donated by Ms. Ada Wang and was designed by the top
international jewelry designer, Ms. Alexa herself! Thank you, Ms. Ada Wang, for your
generosity!”
The moment that necklace appeared on stage, Bethany’s face twisted
in shock as she jolted upright in her seat.
At that moment, Zoe’s expression also gradually stiffened as she interlaced her fingers
and clenched them so hard over each other that
they turned red.
