Chapter 182
Lucy tugged at Matthew's sleeve as she watched Matthew frown. He wanted to continue bidding. She stopped him from raising his bidding paddle. "Wait, Matthew. I don't particularly like this piece of jewelry that much. If that lady wants it, let her have it. Stop bidding for it."
Matthew looked blankly at his wife. Was she someone who changed her mind very quickly?
She liked it a lot before. "Are you sure you don't want it?"
Matthew frowned and asked with slight doubt, “I'll get it for you if you want it. It's just a jewel.”
Lucy sighed. That was not what she meant. "Does your money grow on trees, Matthew?"
"That jewel is worth far less than 50 million, and you're actually planning on bidding higher for it."
The look in Matthew's eyes softened. Lucy was worried for him.
He smiled softly and said to Lucy, "It's fine. Someone has estimated for me before that I make a profit of about 12 billion every hour."
This was just a jewel. If his wife liked it, he would buy it for him no matter how much it cost.
"Don't worry about me going bankrupt."
He got the wrong idea again. Lucy could not help rolling her eyes, but she did not say it out loud. She sighed and said to Matthew, “I don't really like this sapphire necklace. There are more items up for bidding later, right?"
“I'd like to have a look and see if there's anything else I'm interested in. Let's forget about this necklace."
Matthew gave up the necklace unwillingly after Lucy talked him down.
He felt it a pity after he gave up bidding on it. That necklace's color and brightness matched his wife's skin very much. She would look amazing in it. Unfortunately, she did not like it.
As for Whitney, she sat gleefully in her seat. It did not matter if Matthew liked that woman.
He ended up not buying the sapphire for her because he could not bear to spend money on her. Whitney had forgotten that Matthew had bid the necklace for Lucy.
While she was happily thinking about this and planning on how to ask Matthew out for a date, the auction staff came over to her with a piece of paper.
"Ms. Collins, this is the necklace andProperty © of NôvelDrama.Org.
the
Sappraisal certificate for the
sapphire. Please sign this document for assurance that full payment will be made within ten days."
Whitney had been blinded by jealousy, and it was only now that she realized what she had done. She froze. She had bid 50 million for this necklace.
That jewel on the necklace was not worth the price she was paying at all. It was worth 35 million at most.
She had madę a loss! This was bad.
She could not get her family to reimburse her the money if she bought something like this without thinking. Even though she could use her pocket money, she would not be able to bid on anything else she liked after pouring all her mone into this
necklace.
This made Whitney unhappy. She signed the document unwillingly and waved the staff off.
Once they were gone, Whitney transferred the money to a designated account very sadly. Her hatred for Lucy intensified because of this.
If it were not for Lucy, Whitney would never have gone up against Matthew in the bidding. Would Matthew dislike her for being so unladylike?
