Chapter 106

With the host's hopeful eyes on her, Nellie got to her feet. Suddenly, a murmur rose from the crowd behind her.

"Isn't that Mrs. Dawson, who's clueless about everything?"

"What does she know about fashion? | bet she's never even heard of the Sapphire Necklace."

"Shh, let's not embarrass Mr. Dawson. Just drop it."

Cameron's face darkened with embarrassment.

Nellie flashed a subtle smile, thinking about how those who looked down on others often forgot that fortunes

could change like the tides. She carefully chose her words to keep her knowledge under wraps. "I might not be a

fashion expert, but | do happen to know about this necklace. Miss Greta is both right and wrong. It was indeed a

gift from Her Majesty to her daughter, but it's not about power. It symbolizes 'a lifetof love, the most

heartfelt blessing from Her Majesty to her daughter."

"Nellie, how do you know this is what the necklace means? Her Majesty is so ambitious, so trivial love matters

wouldn't tie her down. Seems like you made this up just to grab attention," Greta's friend challenged, standing

up to dispute her claim.

Nellie remained unfazed. "The sapphire is flanked by two cherry blossoms made from pink diamonds. One is

larger than the other. The message behind the cherry blossoms is that you should love one person your whole

life."

The host was taken aback. "Wow, there really are two cherry blossoms, and one is indeed bigger than the other."

The audience erupted in applause. Greta's friend turned green with envy.

Nellie turned back, giving her a teasing smile. "You're mistaken. The flowers here symbolize not romantic love

but a mother's love. It's the Queen's deep affection for her daughter."

The applause roared once again.

Many daughters from elite families raised their paddles, knowing this necklace would be perfect for pleasing

their mothers.

Greta's face was flushed with embarrassment.

Cameron, however, watched Nellie sit down. He never realized Nellie could hold her own so brilliantly.

The next item was a bracelet.

The host announced an opening bid of three thousand, which drew laughter from the crowd.

Nellie unexpectedly raised her hand. "I'll take it."

Someone whispered, "She's the Dawson family's least favored daughter-in-law. | heard she is from the slums of

course, she can't afford anything valuable. This little trinket suits her."

The host called out. "Three thousand going once. Three thousand going twice..."

Suddenly, Nathan raised his paddle. "I bid five thousand two hundred."

Nellie looked at him, puzzled, silently asking, "Why are you bidding against me?"

Nathan winked at her, mouthing. "Nellie, you like it, so I'll get it for you."

Everyone was baffled. "What's the big deal about this bracelet? Why are they both so keen on getting it?" Nellie

reluctantly backed down.

Nathan

asked

On the bracelet. The host

d him, "Mr. Nathan, why are you so interested in this bracelet?

looks quite ordinary."

Nathan replied, "That's because you don't see its worth. This braceletas made of floral charms meaning

happiness, and | want to give it to my dear friend. | hope she will always have carefree days.

The crowd finally got it, sighing with regret. "If I'd known it was for such a beautiful reason, | would've bid too."

Nellie stayed cool and collected, her gaze gentle as she watched Nathan. Her eyes unexpectedly becteary.

As the auction reached its peak, Nellie started to feel sleepy.

Until the host loudly announced, "Up next for auction is - Timeless Cycle..."

Nellie's sleepiness vanished, and her lovely face turned as pale as a sheet.
