The auction was already underway, and the items on stage were absolutely gorgeous–ranging from intricate trinkets to grand pieces, with origins spanning the Tang and Southern Song dynasties all the way to the late Qing era.

My head was spinning from all the dazzling treasures, but I didn’t dare raise my paddle–the prices were sky- high for everything.

Once the antiques were done, the auction moved on to jewelry. Edward shot me a sideways look. “Why aren’t you bidding? If I don’t even lift my paddle tonight, it’ll make me look bad.”

I stared at him, stunned. ‘Here I am, trying to save him money, and he’s worried about his image?‘

Edward could tell exactly what I was thinking, and soon enough, his assistant was raising the paddle again and again, barely pausing between bids.

Whenever Edward spotted a gorgeous necklace, bracelet, or pendant, he didn’t bother to ask for my opinion –he just had his assistant snap it up without a second thought.

Listening to those sky–high prices made my heart go numb, but Edward was completely unfazed. He spent a couple million like it was nothing–that was just his way of making a donation tonight.
