At the auction, Amanda followed Elias into the grand hall. It was a prestigious event

exclusive to wealthy and privileged individuals. She sat beside him but was absent-

minded.

The auction

mmenced with an emerald bracelet from Deskolor, emanating an air of vintage elegance

nious allure.

The auctioneer introduced the bracelet’s origin. “This bracelet is the creation of the

renowned Fliaria jewelry master, Larina. She dedicated three years of craftsmanship to

design it, bestowing it the name aralleled.’ It’s a symbol of perfect love, believed to bring

happiness and fulfillment to its recipient. We’ll begin the bidding at 10.5 million.”

10.5 million? She did not pay attention to the auctioneer’s lengthy explanation but did

catch the number of the price mentioned. This is ridiculously expensive. Who in their right

mind would spend 10.5 million on such a

bracelet?

Elias’ pitch-black eyes fixed on the bracelet displayed in the showcase as if he were

staring at his prey. He glanced at Amanda’s wrist as if noting the absence of a bracelet as

an accessory.

On the other hand, she only hoped to endure this tedious auction and could not bear to

stay for another second. Unexpectedly, the man beside her raised his paddle, capturing

the auctioneer’s attention. “Excellent! The gentleman at Table 6 has made a bid. Starting

at 10.5 million, do we have any higher bids?”

She was dumbfounded as she gazed at the handsome profile of the man beside her. “Are

you out of your mind? Why are you bidding on this?”

Does he intend to give it to me? Amanda could not fathom where her sudden confidence

came from as the thought crossed her mind until Elias’ cold voice cut through. “It’s none

of your business. Besides, it’s not for you.”

“That’s good.” She felt relieved. She believed he might be the only one interested in that

ordinary bracelet, and no one would compete with him.

In the next moment, the auctioneer announced, “The lady at Table 10 has placed a bid.

10.65 million for the first time!”

Amanda could not help but turn her head and look. At Table 10 was an elegant and noble-

looking woman who appeared to be a young lady of means.

Why does this woman look so familiar? Where have I seen her before?

Without sparing a glance backward, Elias promptly raised his paddle to increase the

bidding.

The woman at Table 10 also persisted with her bids as if they were determined to outdo

each other, neither willing to concede.

Amanda could not bear to watch anymore. The price of the ordinary bracelet keeps rising

closer and closer to 15 million with each bid. Is it truly worth that much?

“Are you planning to raise the bid to 15 million?”

Elias fixed his gaze on the emerald bracelet in the showcase and lazily replied, “When I

want something, I

make sure to get it. No one can compete with me.”

Speechless, she realized she should not have asked. The world of the wealthy is truly

beyond my understanding

“The gentleman at Table 6 has placed a bid of 15 million! 15 million for the first time 15

million, second time! 15 million, the third time! Sold’ The Unparalleled bracelet will now

belong to the gentleman at Table 67

Amanda felt speechless and cast a disdainful glance at the man beside her. What a

spendthriji, spending 15 million on such an ordinary bracelet. To whom is he planning to

give it to Bat home could that mysterious teeman at Table 10 give up now when the

bidding for the bracelet has reached 15 million?

She could not help but turn her head for another glance at the woman. Although she was

quite far away and could not see the woman’s face, she could not shake off the strange

sense of familiarity.

Two hours later….

The auction was ongoing, but Amanda and Elias left as she made the excuse of being

hungry. So, he took her to an open-air restaurant located on the rooftop of a hotel. From

there, they could enjoy the cityscape at night and gaze at the starry sky.

It was a romantic dating spot that any woman would love.

They settled in a corner, where a gentle breeze brushed against them. From their vantage

point, she could turn her head and see the bustling night view of the entire city.

“Do you like it here?” While flipping through the menu, Elias glanced at Amanda’s serene

profile.

She smiled faintly. “You must’ve brought Grace here before.”

He fell silent, realizing he had been exposed.

She knew she had hit the mark, and a flicker of surprise in his eyes almost made her burst

into laughter. She explained, “I know traditional masculine men like you wouldn’t be

familiar with places like this. You must’ve brought a woman here before, and Grace’s

positive reaction made you assume that all women would enjoy it here-

Before she could finish her sentence, Elias frowned in displeasure and placed the menu

before her. “Enough with the nonsense and order your food.”

Amanda chuckled and picked up the menu to browse through it.

“Miss, what would you like to eat?” The waiter smiled beside them, ready to take her

order.

She opened the menu and quickly skimmed through the options. The prices listed were

quite high, and just looking at them made her feel full. However, since Elias was the one

paying, she did not have to worry

about the cost.

“Well…” She was about to speak when suddenly, a person rushed toward her and

deliberately poured a glass of red wine over her head.

It happened so suddenly and unexpectedly that no one had a chance to react, not even

Elias, who was sitting across from her.

“Ah!” Amanda let out a cry of surprise and looked up, taking a few seconds to recall who

the woman was that had poured wine on her.

It was Lunabelle, Simon’s ex-girlfriend.

She seemed to instantly understand why Lumabelle was so angry. She probably thought I

betrayed or cheated on Simon as his wife. It seems that his ex-girlfriend cares a lot about

him.

Lunabelle posed with an indifferent attitude as she looked at Amanda’s disheveled

appearance.

In the next moment, Elias abruptly stood up and pushed Lunabelle aside. He walked to

Amanda’s side, taking a napkin to wipe off the wine from her face. “Why haven’t you

called the cops? Useless!” he scolded the waiter nearby.

The waiter was stunned as it was the first time he had encountered such a situation since

he started working.

“Call the cops! I’m going to sue him for assault!” Lunabelle exclaimed angrily, holding her

forehead as she lay on the ground.

Amanda turned her gaze toward Lunabelle and noticed that she had hit her head on the

sharp edge of the table, resulting in a bleeding wound on her eyebrow. Blood was trickling

down her eyebrow.

Curious glances filled the restaurant as speculations about a possible love triangle spread

through the air.

Elias did not even glance back at Lunabelle and snorted. “If you can win the lawsuit, fl

acknowledge your

abilities.”

“You despicable couple!” Lunabelle watched the scene and felt pity for Simon, questioning

his choice of Amanda as a partner. She even doubted if Aiden was his biological son,

wondering whether Amanda had been cheating on him and betraying his trust all along.
