Chapter 2305
Originally, it was just a probe. Since Jared understood his intentions, there would be another chance.
Harvey's face also darkened as he stared thoughtfully at the necklace on the auction stage. A necklace that
represented happiness, would it hold a special meaning if he gave it to Nicole? However, it was evident that
continuing the bidding would lead to no result.
"Harvey..." Snow looked at Harvey with a complex expression. She really hoped that he would win the necklace for
her, but ten million... It seemed that Jared was unwilling to let go either.
Harvey finally glanced at Snow and put down his bidder card.
He did consider bidding for the Heart of the Ocean to give to Nicole, as he wanted himself to be the only person to
bring Nicole happiness. But Snow's reminder made him realize that it was not the best time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe issues at NandoCorp were not fully resolved, and he needed to remain calm.
Seeing Harvey giving up on bidding, Snow felt disappointed, but she still consoled him maturely, "It's just a
necklace, and I don't want it that much."
Harvey looked at Snow noncommittally. Whether she wanted it or not was none of his business.
"One-time bid of ten million!" the auctioneer finally declared. "Congratulations, Mr. Han!"
Others congratulated Jared as well. At the same time, they felt relieved. They were worried that this bidding war
would never end. After all, it was Mr. Johnston, and they knew he would not go home empty-handed.
Subsequently, the stewardess brought the Heart of the Ocean to the small table in front of Jared and Nicole.
"Let me put it on for you," Jared said gently as he held the necklace.
Nicole accepted the necklace and kept it back in the box." Forget it."
She had already felt the envious eyes of all the ladies in the room. If she wore the necklace, she might even get
hated.
She was not used to being scrutinized like that and was feeling extremely uneasy. She preferred being low-key.
After putting the necklace back into the box, Nicole looked at Jared and said seriously, "Thank you."
She understood his intentions. Although a necklace could not truly determine someone's happiness, it had good
symbolism and represented good wishes and blessings.
A devilish glint flashed in Jared's eyes as he whispered in Nicole's ear. "You can thank me in another way."
Oddly enough, Nicole understood his meaning, and her cheeks flushed. She scolded him playfully. "Stop it! We're at
a charity event."
"Okay, then let's go home." Jared smiled knowingly.
Nicole's cheeks grew even warmer. She looked away and glanced at the auction stage. 'This guy really is
something...'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe auction continued, and since Nicole and Jared did not participate, it progressed smoothly, and the charity
auction items were successfully sold one after another.
"Next, we have a high-quality jade peace buckle, with a diameter of twenty centimeters. The jade is translucent and
flawless..." As the auctioneer introduced the item, the red cloth covering the jade peace buckle was lifted, revealing
a pure white jade peace buckle.
"Wow, it’s really high-quality!" someone exclaimed.
"Three hundred thousand dollars!"
"Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars." someone else quickly increased the bid.
"Fifty thousand." Nicole raised her bidder card.
Jared glanced at her. "Do you want it?"
"Since I'm here, I should participate. I'm now representing the Riddle Corporation." Nicole smiled, thinking that if
she won, she could take it home and give it to her grandfather.
