Today’s Gilda was incredibly beautiful.

Her black hair was like silk, and her makeup was bright and beautiful. The luxury custom–made dress that had never been seen in the market made her look even more graceful. Her beauty attracted people’s

attention.

Gilda slowly walked towards Jensen.

Jensen looked at Gilda with complicated and indescribable emotions.

Jensen thought, From gentle and quiet to beautiful and arrogant…

“This woman really changed, totally different from my memory.” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mr. Harrington, it seems that you won’t stop until you achieve your goal.” Walking to Jensen, Gilda smiled mockingly.

“Where is your boss?” Jensen asked coldly.

Gilda sneered, “Don’t you see? Just me. Are you disappointed?”

She thought, “He sent some stupid messages to me. Now he found it didn’t work, so he tried to see my brother.

If he wants to see Patrick, he has to ask me if I agree!”

As he was seen through and ridiculed by Gilda, Jensen’s face quickly darkened.

The organizer of the auction immediately came forward with a smile. “Ms. Lynch, this way please.”

Gilda ignored Jensen and entered the hall.

Seeing that Gilda was so arrogant, Sherry whispered in Jensen’s ear, “Am I right? She must have a sugar daddy. How can she be so rich all of a sudden?”

Jensen felt even more annoyed and said impatiently, “Shut up.”

Seeing that Jensen seemed to be angry, Sherry followed him quietly and said nothing.

Madeleine said to Jensen, “Let’s go in.”

Thirty minutes later, the auction began.

The elegant female auctioneer introduced the item. “A pearl bracelet. The starting price is 40 thousand

dollars!”

Under the light, the bracelet was delicate and glittering, showing its fine quality.

Remembering that Marilyn was about to celebrate her birthday, Gilda raised the bidding paddle. “60 thousand dollars.”

Seeing that Gilda was bidding, Madeleine in the back row also raised the bidding paddle. “100 thousand dollars.”

Madeleine said, “Jensen, I think this bracelet suits your grandma best. I want to buy this as her birthday gift.”

Jensen nodded.

Gilda raised her bidding paddle again. “120 thousand dollars!”

It was enough already. The value of the bracelet itself was much less than 120 thousand dollars, and now it was at a premiur

“200 thousand dollars!” Madeleine withdrew her hand proudly, and her smile showed complacency.

She thought, ‘Gilda doesn’t have that much money definitely. When she divorced Jensen, she didn’t get a penny from the Harrington family and had at most 200 thousand dollars.

I am the daughter of a wealthy family. Why not spend 200 thousand dollars to buy a gift and make a good impression on Marilyn?

‘Competing with me? That’s absolutely not going to happen.

Hearing the price, Gilda looked in the direction of the voice and met Madeleine’s provocative eyes.

Humph

Gilda thought. They are everywhere!

Trying to win me with a higher offer?

“Let’s see if you have that much money!”

“I million dollars!” Gilda said.

The offer shocked all the auction guests present.

Although everyone was very rich, they had never seen people bidding like that.

The auctioneer stammered, which rarely happened, mainly because few pearl bracelets were bid at this price.

After confirming that Gilda did say 1 million dollars, the auctioneer carefully said, “I million dollars, going

once!”

Madeleine bid again. “2 million dollars!”

Jensen said, “Madeleine, this bracelet is not worth it.”

“It’s okay. I can still afford it. The most important thing is to make grandma happy.” Madeleine smiled.

It wasn’t worth 2 million dollars, but she could afford it.

“6 million dollars!” Gilda said slightly, and her eyes were still calm and full of confidence.

All the guests were stunned by their bids. It was still women who dared to spend money!

Madeleine grasped the bidding paddle tightly, and her tender eyes were full of shock. She thought, “How dare Gilda bid this high price? Doesn’t she know how rich my family is?

I have to compete with Gilda today and see if she dares to be that arrogant in front of me!

Madeleine raised her hand again. “6.2 million dollars!”

“6.2 million dollars, going once!”

*6.2 million dollars, going twice!”

Madeleine panicked and thought, “Why doesn’t she bid again?‘

6.2 million dollars, going third!”

The auctioneer announced, “Congratulations to this guest. She bought the pearl bracelet for 6.2 million dollars!”

Madeleine suddenly realized something when she turned to look at Gilda.

‘I was tricked!” she thought
