Chapter 2304
Harvey heard it, but he seemed unaffected, still pondering over what exactly made Nicole seem different from
before. However, he could not find anything, and this frustrated him.
Seeing Harvey continuously focusing on Nicole, Snow could not help but feel annoyed and suffocated. It was driving
her crazy.
"Harvey, that diamond necklace is called 'Heart of the Ocean '. Legend has it that the person who obtains this
necklace will be happy for life," Snow said through her teeth but she was still looking at Harvey sheepishly.
"Heart of the Ocean," Harvey repeated, wondering if possessing it would bring happiness for life.
"Okay," Harvey finally responded. Snow looked at him with anticipation. If he could win the Heart of the Ocean for
her, did it mean that he still had feelings for her?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"The bidding for the Heart of the Ocean begins now, starting at five hundred thousand," announced the auctioneer,
and the venue immediately became lively.
"Six hundred thousand dollars!"
"Seven hundred thousand dollars!"
"One million dollars!"
With intense competition, the bid for the Heart of the Ocean quickly reached three million dollars.
However, the voices of the bidders gradually quieted down because they noticed that the three who were still
bidding were Jared, Lawrence, and Harvey.
A strange atmosphere seemed to be in the air, and the attendees all fell silent, waiting to see who would eventually
win.
"Four million dollars." Harvey raised the bid once more.
"Five million dollars." Lawrence was not willing to back down.
"Alright, five million dollars, any more bids?" With the auctioneer's voice falling, the venue fell into silence.
Everyone's gaze fell on Jared, wanting to know if he would give up or continue bidding.
"Jared, let it go," Nicole advised Jared in a low voice, feeling that such competition had no meaning.
The charity auction was meant to raise funds for a good cause, so as long as all the items were sold, the funds
raised would be put to good use. Nicole believed that was the real purpose.
Besides, it was clear that the three were not willing to give in to each other. Instead of competing like this, it would
be better to wait for other items. As long as they bid on one thing to express their feelings, the rest did not matter.
Jared looked at Nicole and replied meaningfully, "This necklace is meant for you."
"Do you really believe that a necklace can bring a lifetime of happiness? That's too easy." She did not believe it.
Happiness still needed to be earned through one's efforts.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJared gently held Nicole's delicate hand to comfort her, then raised his bidder card and said calmly, "Ten million
dollars."
"What?!" The venue erupted into a commotion.
Three million was already far beyond the value of the necklace itself, but in charity auctions, nobody cared about
the actual value of the items. However, witnessing the fierce bidding from, especially Jared's one-time offer of ten
million, was unprecedented.
"Ten million dollars... Going once... Going twice..."
The auctioneer waited, and if no one continued to bid, he would finalize the sale.
He actually did not expect anyone to bid further, as this was already an astronomical price.
Jared leaned back in his chair leisurely, gently holding Nicole's hand. He seemed certain of the outcome, just
waiting for the announcement.
Lawrence's pupils constricted slightly. He understood that Jared had seen through his intentions, so tonight, no
matter how much he offered, Jared would not let him succeed.
Glancing at the necklace on the auction stage, Lawrence tightened his bidder card and finally chose to give up.
