The True Heiress is the Reserved Fiancé's Exclusive Memory-Chapter 438 - 449 Angel’s Wings (4)

A sudden commotion.

All eyes in the vicinity fell on Koa Jackson.

Some knew him, some didn’t, but judging by the seating arrangement, they could tell he came from an extraordinary background, so their gazes lingered a while, with whispers here and there.

Mia Ginger was also in the focus of everyone’s attention, suddenly feeling both surprised and embarrassed.

Her hand by her side was clenched, yet she maintained a gentle smile.

Appearing obedient and quiet.

Koa Jackson leaned against the back of his chair, his long, fair fingers caressing the shiny surface of the glass cup, his expression indifferent.

As always, he maintained an air of composure.

Aurora Cooper noticed Mia Ginger beside him, slightly taken aback, turned her head, and sent a look to Amy beside her.

The host, already watching her, promptly said, "Ms. Aurora Cooper bids sixteen million..."

Before finishing the sentence, he quickly turned his head and said, "Gentleman number 16 bids eighteen million."

"Ms. Aurora Cooper bids twenty million..."

"Gentleman number 16 bids twenty-three million."

"Ms. Aurora Cooper bids twenty-five million!" The host seemed a bit overwhelmed, his gaze landed on Koa Jackson again, but before he could speak, a sudden voice in the hall said, "Twenty-eight million."

The entire hall quieted.

Caiden Ward raised his bidding paddle from the table.

Beside him—

Blair Chester’s breath almost stopped.

Caiden Ward turned to glance at her, smiling gently, "Do you like it?"

"It’s too expensive." Blair Chester received many envious glances, her face blushing.

Caiden Ward understood, he glanced at Koa Jackson with a knowing look.

The jewelry merchant had only spent twenty million when he bought it at a high price, what was his cousin thinking, going all out for just a necklace?

At the Global Sphere-led banquet, bidding against Aurora Cooper?

The look meant he wanted him to take it easy.

Koa Jackson glanced at him, temporarily choosing not to speak.

The host on stage also took a breath, speaking loudly, "The Angel’s Wings diamond necklace, Mr. Caiden Ward bids twenty-eight million, is there anyone with a higher bid than twenty-eight million?"

Just as the words landed, he looked at Aurora Cooper again, "Thirty million, Ms. Aurora Cooper bids thirty million."

His expression shifted, continuing, "Mr. Caiden Ward bids thirty-one million..."

"Ms. Aurora Cooper bids thirty-five million!"

The host nearly gasped for air, taking a moment, raising his eyes to look at Caiden Ward.

Caiden Ward took a glance at Aurora Cooper who was looking his way, his lips curled into a slight grin, making a "please" gesture.

Aurora Cooper calmly retracted her gaze.

All the guests in the hall also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the necklace seemed somewhat overvalued now.

But upon second thoughts—

People compete for pride just as monks compete for incense sticks, in matters of pride, for those not lacking money, it’s hard to buy what one loves.

Then they quickly came to terms with it.

The auction price had increased by five or six times, especially since the base price wasn’t low, and the host felt that it was about time.

He raised the hammer with one hand, shouting, "The Angel’s Wings diamond necklace, Ms. Aurora Cooper bids thirty-five million, is there anyone with a higher bid than thirty-five million? Thirty-five million once, thirty-five million twice, thirty-five million..."

Just as he was about to say the last two words, his gaze landed somewhere, he was stunned, then changed his tone, "Gentleman number 16 bids forty-six million!"

"Forty-six million?!"

The hall, which had already quieted down, erupted in commotion again.

Aurora Cooper froze for a moment, turning her head, her gaze landed on Koa Jackson.
