The True Heiress is the Reserved Fiancé's Exclusive Memory-Chapter 439 - 450 Angel’s Wings (5)

Koa Jackson didn’t look at her.

It was Mia Ginger next to him who couldn’t help but gaze back at her.

Aurora Cooper smiled faintly, turned around, composed herself, and withdrew.

She was planning to give this necklace to her daughter as a meeting gift.

Who would have thought—

That something so certain would suddenly be disrupted by an intruder.

Who is this person?

She thought irritably and discontentedly, as the sound of the auctioneer’s gavel reached her ears.

Koa Jackson won the necklace.

As the fourth auction item came on stage, he turned to glance at Mia Ginger, met her gaze, and reached out to embrace her shoulder.

His fingertips lifted the necklace around her neck for a look.

The one Mia Ginger was wearing was precisely the one he had given her on Christmas Eve.

It’s New Year.

Time to change to a new one.

His fingers, cold, landed on Mia Ginger’s warm skin, causing her to involuntarily shrink back, and she whispered, "Brother Jackson."

"Hmm?" Koa Jackson, slightly lazy from the recent round of bidding, responded.

He looked down at her, and seeing that she hesitated to speak for a long time, he chuckled softly, "Angel’s Wings. Put it on later and let me see, consider it a New Year’s gift."

Mia Ginger: "..."

Why did it feel like Koa Jackson had a habit of gifting her necklaces?

And each was exceptionally valuable.

She had initially looked up the value of the first jade pendant online, was shocked, and locked it in a cabinet, not daring to wear it.

Koa Jackson gave her a new one.

She again did some online comparisons, wearing it with extreme care today.

Now—

Could she hang something worth over forty million around her neck?

Mia Ginger couldn’t help but rub her fingers together.

Koa Jackson didn’t plan to participate in the subsequent bidding; he embraced her and leaned back in his chair with a calm expression.

He remained silent, but his demeanor was exceedingly clear.

A declaration of ownership.

——

There was a thirty-minute intermission.

Several artists went on stage to perform in turn, livening up the atmosphere.

Soon—

The second round of bidding began.

Aurora Cooper, Caiden Ward, Dallas Taylor, and Andy Chester each bid on items, and most of the attending guests participated in the auction. By nine o’clock, the charity auction dinner concluded, having raised over a hundred million in donations. After verification by the notary, the dinner ended successfully.

Sitting for several hours straight, Mia Ginger was exhausted.

Koa Jackson held her as they headed toward the parking area.

There were so many guests at the dinner; they hadn’t arrived particularly early, so their car was parked a bit further away.

The surroundings gradually became quieter.

The cold wind sobered Mia Ginger up.

Koa Jackson’s fingers tightened on her shoulder, and he turned to ask, "Is Dallas Taylor pursuing you?"

"..." Mia Ginger was stunned, "No."

As they approached the car, Koa Jackson slowed his pace, pinching her chin to look at her cheeks, then asked, "What’s with your face?"

Dallas Taylor, physically robust, had gripped Mia Ginger’s face in the washroom with an angry force earlier. Initially faint, the marks slowly became clearer as time passed, revealed before Koa Jackson.

His possessiveness over Mia Ginger was intensely strong, even without his own realization.

Seeing those fingerprints, he simply couldn’t ignore them.

Mia Ginger realized, pursed her lips looking at him, hesitated, and was still thinking about how best to cover and explain.

The gentleness on Koa Jackson’s face slowly faded. He leaned down to look into her eyes, enunciating slowly, seriously asking, "Do you remember what I said?"

Mia Ginger looked completely baffled.
