NovelGoldChapter 158 Evelyn didn't understand the market value.
Lucas casually set down his cup. "You can't put a price on joy. Bid for it." Tiffany was momentarily stunned. Her lips then curled into a smile, and her eyes were full of warmth and sweetness.
She raised her paddle again, chin slightly raised. "50 million!" Evelyn had been keeping an eye on Lucas since she made the offer. She saw that Tiffany had no intention of continuing, but Lucas gave her enough confidence and supported Tiffany no matter how much it cost.
In that instant, Evelyn paled, feeling an indescribable sense of suffocation. Her heart clenched, painful and numb.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUp front, Mason and the others were watching the situation with great interest. They all gave Evelyn meaningful looks as if silently speaking of her defeat and ridiculousness.
Did she even have the right to compete with Tiffany? Flynn felt a complicated mix of emotions. He looked at Tiffany. Then, he leaned toward Mason and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Grant really does care about Ms. Moore... Have they really decided to get married?" The question left Mason momentarily speechless.
He instinctively glanced back at Evelyn, who looked shocked, and answered, "Probably." Once Evelyn was dealt with, it was only a matter of time.
Flynn fell silent. His chest felt bitter, but he also knew his place. Compared to Lucas, he fell far short.
On the other side, Justine could clearly sense Evelyn's feelings. She quickly asked, "Do you really like that ring that much?" Evelyn shook her head. "No, this ring is an heirloom of the Reeds. It was my mother's wedding ring..." Justine's expression changed tically. She immediately grabbed Evelyn's hand to raise the paddle. "Bid! Go all the way! I've got over 100 million in my account-we can definitely win this!" Even so, Evelyn could only shake her head helplessly. "You don't understand Lucas." Even a few hundred million dollars meant nothing to Lucas.
No matter how much she added, he would keep pushing the price to a level she could never reach for Tiffany's sake. As such, it was pointless.
Justine's eyes turned red with frustration. "Damn it! What's Lucas trying to do? Does he even know that ring was your mom's wedding ring?" Evelyn's mind went blank for a moment.
He knew. When she first married him, she believed he was capable of anything and might be able to help her find it. So, she asked him for help and even showed him a photo.
At the time, Lucas agreed. He kept the photo of the ring and told her that he couldn't make any promises, but he would try his best.
Yet now, it was precisely because he knew that she found it so cruel. He knew everything, yet still chose to carve out a piece of her heart for Tiffany's sake.

Lucas had truly reached the limit of callousness and indifference toward her.
As the auctioneer's gavel cdown, the deal was sealed. The room erupted into thunderous applause.
Everyone congratulated Lucas and Tiffany on winning the item. There were even speople who began to whisper in envy.
"Mr. Grant treats Ms. Moore so incredibly well! He's a businessman, but he didn't even care that he overpaid by that much just to make her happy!" "Which church should I pray at to find a man like Mr. Grant?" "But don't you think... this ring might have sdeeper meaning?" "What do you mean?" "It's not exactly normal, right? Mr. Grant went all out to buy a ring for Ms. Moore. What if it's because..."
Justine had already guessed ahead. Her voice trembled in disbelief as she suggested, "Lucas isn't planning to use your mother's wedding ring as an engagement ring for Tiffany, is he?" Chapter 158 Tip: You can use left, right keyboard keys to browse between chapters.
