Chapter 346
The charity auction wrapped up and Bowen was without a doubt the man of the hour
As the interview session kicked off, the majority of the reporters swarmed Bowen, grilling him about his big spender
donations that night, leaving only a handful of them around Seraphina and Leandro
Seraphina was chuffed to bits about the fundraising results and was all smiles during the interview.
Leandro usually gave reporters the silent treatment but with Seraphina playfully nudging him from time to time, he
surprisingly answered a few questions.
In contrast to Seraphina and Leandro’s easy banter, the vibe between Bowen and Tania was seriously awkward.
Despite Bowen being the top donor of the night, putting Tania in the limelight, Bowen’s strange reaction left Tania
feeling down in the dumps. She had no mood to bask in the attention and just stood quietly next to Bowen, giving
curt responses when reporters occasionally asked her a question.
Facing the interview cameras, Bowen’s smile finally returned and he patiently answered the reporter’s questions.
Since he confessed that the girl in the painting Romance in Bloom was his sister, a reporter asked, “Mr. Smith,
we’re very sorry to hear about your sister. As she’s the protagonist of Romance in Bloom, could you share some
stories about her?”
At that question, Tania’s face shifted slightly, and she carefully observed Bowen’s reaction.
Unexpectedly, Bowen just smiled, not showing any emotional turbulence and said, “My sister was just an ordinary
girl. She’s passed away, and her stories are pretty ordinary too. It’s not worth everyone’s excessive attention. Halso
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdon’t want her soul to be disturbed.”
“Mrs. Reynolds stated that the watch and ring were left by her deceased friend. Is your sister this friend of Mrs.
Reynolds? Did you bid for the watch and ring because they belonged to your sister?”
At that question, Tania hesitated.
–
She hadn’t thought of this before who else could Seraphina’s deceased female friend be?
Even though she knew little about Seraphina, her mind immediately jumped to Sandra.
A wave of mixed emotions welled up in her heart and she looked at Bowen.
Bowen simply said, “I’m not sure who Mrs. Reynolds’ friend is. I bid for the watch and ring simply because I liked
them.”
After the interview, Bowen took Tania over to Leandro and Seraphina.
Seeing him, Seraphina immediately broke into a grin, “Mr. Smith, you were really generous tonight.”
Bowen replied casually, “I just bid on a few items I wanted. I wouldn’t call that generous.”
“You’re right.” Seraphina said, “So I must express my gratitude for your generosity.”
“Actually, it’s your selection of auction items that were amazing. Bowen said, “You really have a knack for this
industry.”
Seraphina laughed and said, “But it also requires someone who appreciates it. Mr. Smith, you and I have the same
taste. Although I didn’t get the painting in the end, I’m still very satisfied. Thank you.”
Bowen just smiled lightly at that.
Seraphina took a look at Tania standing next to Bowen, lost in thought, and then started laughing, “I guess you
bought the watch to save me from embarrassment, and as for the ruby ring, you must have planned to give it to
Ms. Martin, right?”
Tania was brought back to reality. She looked at Seraphina, then at Bowen.
Before Bowen could answer, Seraphina said to Tania, “That ring is truly beautiful, and it has a great meaning. It’s a
pity that Leandro wasn’t there during the auction. Otherwise, I would have wanted it too.”
Hearing that, Leandro looked at her and said slowly, “If you like it, I can have my men find a better one.”
“Don’t make promises you can’t keep, because I’ll remember.” Seraphina hummed lightly and then said to Tania,
“Ms. Martin, you’re so lucky to be wearing that ring soon. I’m so jealous.”
Tania paused for a moment, only replying awkwardly, “Thank you.”
Bowen gave Seraphina a deep look before saying, “Anyway, congratulations. You really hit the jackpot tonight.”
“Thank you.” Seraphina laughed, “This result is beyond my expectation.”
Soon, a staff member came forward to invite Bowen to the notary to receive his auction winnings. Bowen just
nodded lightly, and left with Tania.
Most of the guests had left. Seraphina had nothing else to do and just watched Bowen’s retreating figure.
It was clear that she had rattled Bowen that night, but the result was also beyond Seraphina’s expectations.
“Why do you think he was willing to shell out so much money to buy Sandra’s stuff?” Seraphina asked Leandro.
Leandro looked at her and said, “Wasn’t this what you expecting?”
Seraphina chuckled and said slowly, “But how could it be possible? He was even capable of hurting Sandra, how
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcould I expect him to still have any lingering feelings for Sandra’s belongings? But he bought all three items. I really
don’t know whether to laugh or to be angry.”
She organized this auction just to tell Bowen that she knew his true colors.
From the moment Bowen made a move on the Reynolds Group, he didn’t bother hiding his true colors. And tonight,
everything was about Seraphina trying to sever the connection between Bowen and Sandra. In other words, it was
her declaration of war against Bowen.
One could imagine that starting from tonight, there’d be no need to fake friendliness whenever they crossed paths.
However, what Seraphina didn’t expect was that Bowen didn’t seem to plan on cutting ties with Sandra.
Maybe he regretted his actions, maybe he was blaming himself, and that led to his behavior tonight.
But for Sandra, it was all too late.
Over there, Bowen had already taken the ring he had bought twice from the notary.
Watching all this, Seraphina suddenly burst into laughter.
“Do you think he’ll put that ring on Tania?”-
After asking this question, Seraphina didn’t wait to see the result, but pulled Leandro towards the donation
collection point.
Regardless of whether Bowen gave the ring to Tania or kept it for himself, the outcome was the same his own heart
being tortured.
And for her, that was more than enough.
