Chapter 233 My Wife-Penelope Not many wealthy people would be willing to spend multimillion dollars on a crown that can only be looked at and has no practical use.
Kelvin's expression was calm, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"So expensive," Penelope said, "I feel like it will go unsold; no one will buy it." Kelvin replied, "Let's wait and see." The auctioneer announced, "The auction officially begins now. 300 million dollars. Is there anyone who would like to bid?" Silence.
At that moment, Brandon suddenly spoke up, "I will." All eyes turned to him.
Standing next to Brandon, Isabella received envious and jealous looks from all the women in the room! Brandon bought it, surely to give it to Isabella, his fiancée! He really is spending a fortune just to make his fiancée happy! Seeing this, Madison immediately said, "Wow, Isabella, you are so lucky! Mr. Walker is actually going to buy the 'Heart of the Ocean' for you!" Isabella showed a shy smile and glanced proudly at Penelope.
She was a socialite of the Mitchell family and the future daughter-in-law of the Walker family.
This crown was only fitting for her! Someone like Penelope, who only knew how to flirt with men, was not worthy of being compared to her! Isabella felt that she didn't even need to bother with Penelope; it was beneath her.

Firstly, to flatter Isabella, and secondly, to make Penelope envy! The star of today's jewelry exhibition, the most glamorous and attention-grabbing woman, would definitely be the one who got the 'Heart of the Ocean'! Penelope was just a designer with a meager salary, unable to afford even a tiny diamond on the 'Heart of the Ocean!! "Alright, Mr. Walker has placed a bid of300 million dollars," the auctioneer said with a smile. "Is there anyone else who wants to bid higher? This crown is unique in the world, priceless, and has retained its brilliance for hundreds of years, witnessing the changes of the world." The auctioneer kept praising the value of the crown.
No one else spoke up.
Not many people were willing to spend 300 million dollars on a crown, and Brandon and Isabella's love was well- known in LA. Everyone was optimistic and supportive of this well-matched marriage.
So, it was better to just be a spectator, wait for Mr. Walker to buy it, and then applaud and celebrate, making a good impression.
Isabella proudly held her head high, as if she were a real princess, already wearing the crown, determined to get it.
Her gaze swept over everyone in the room, then lightly moved away from Penelope. Penelope showed no expression.
Watching Brandon spend a fortune to buy the crown, she couldn't describe her feelings.
It was her first tmeeting Isabella, and they had never crossed paths before, but inexplicably, she couldn't have a good impression of Isabella.
Maybe it was because Penelope had heard the story of the little girl from Brandon. Everything Isabella had now should have belonged to that little girl.
Thinking of the true socialite of the Mitchell family, lost and missing, possibly even gone from this world, Penelope felt a painful emotion spreading infinitely in her heart. And Isabella, enjoying love and happiness. Just as she was thinking, Penelope caught a glimpse of Kelvin next to her, about to raise his bidding paddle! He really wanted to buy it! Before Kelvin could raise it, Penelope quickly pressed it down.

She lowered her voice, asking, "What are you doing?" "Bidding." "Mr. Walkeris buying it for his fiancée, don't interfere!" "Interfere?" Kelvin said, "He's buying it for his fiancée, I'm buying it for my wife, there's no conflict." As he spoke, he tried to raise the paddle again.
Penelope pressed it down forcefully.
Their hands seemed to hang by their sides, but they were actually wrestling in secret.
"Stop it," Penelope said, ;"I don't want it, just let Mr. Walker and Isabella have it!" She didn't want to be in the spotlight.
Moreover, if Kelvin really bought the auction item, she and Isabella would becenemies! She didn't want to be enemies with Isabella, it would make things difficult for Brandon, caught in the middle! "Whether you want it or not is your business," Kelvin said, "Whether I buy it or not is mine." Would he really not buy it just because she said so? Impossible.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTimothy had already instructed Kelvin, no matter what Penelope said, don't believe her, just buy it and put it on her head! No woman could refuse! Unless Penelope wasn't a woman! Kelvin had always kept Timothy's words firmly in mind.
Moreover, now he had only one competitor, Brandon.
Kelvin was determined to bid well and get this item!

Before Penelope could finish, Kelvin had already pressed her hand down, holding it firmly, and loudly said, "I bid 400 million dollars." At these words, the room was filled with gasps.
Kelvin had actually made a move! Moreover, he had raised the bid by 100 million dollars! Brandon was stunned, looking at Kelvin, then at Penelope.
Kelvin's lips curved into a faint smile, exuding a powerful aura.
In public, on many occasions, he had never lost! Brandon would not be his match! Penelope gritted her teeth, tugging at his sleeve. "Kelvin, you can not do this!" He didn't answer, just gently rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb, meeting Brandon's gaze. Isabella's expression changed.
At this moment, seeing no one else bidding, the 'Heart of the Ocean' was about to be hers, why did Kelvin suddenly jump in! She had seen earlier, Penelope whispering to Kelvin, were they talking about buying the 'Heart of the Ocean'? Kelvin was wealthy; if Penelope begged him, he might be willing to buy it for her! "Mr. Davis also wants to buy it?" Brandon spoke up, "I wonder, Mr. Davis, who are you buying the 'Heart of the Ocean' for?" Madison immediately asked as well, "Yes, Mr. Davis, is it for the lady beside you?"
"Lady?" Kelvin chuckled, his voice was deep and clear, reaching,everyone's ears "Yes, the woman besideis my lady. But she has another identity that I haven't publicly revealed." Madison scoffed, saying to Isabella, "Isn't she just the chief designer of Adoring Cupid? What's so special about that." As soon as she finished, Kelvin solemnly said, "This is my wife-Penelope." Everyone was stunned; this woman was actually Kelvin's wife!
