Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 457 What Did He Say

"It's fine. It wasn't expensive, so I thought I'd get it for you while I'm at it," Samuel added, worried that Sophia would be unwilling to accept the gift.

Sophia gave Samuel a look. "Apologizing once is enough for one mistake. You have already purchased one bag for me, so that's sufficient. I will get the next one myself."

Following that, she let out a snort and added, "Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll have trouble explaining yourself to Alexander."

The sudden public display of affection silenced Samuel.

He dared not insist on getting her anything and looked toward the stage, planning to bid a handsome price immediately after the bag was up for auction.

The bag's reserve price was one million and eight hundred thousand, and he planned on offering two million and five hundred thousand. Increasing the price by seven hundred thousand would deter others from competing with him.

Alas, Samuel had underestimated the allure of bags to women. After he offered two million and five hundred thousand, someone else increased the price to two million and six hundred thousand.

Samuel frowned and declared, "Three million."

Sophia moved and glanced at Samuel's competitor.

By coincidence, the woman Samuel was competing with happened to be the same woman who had been overheard speaking ill of Sophia at the hotel earlier that day.

The auctioneer had already called the sale twice. He was about to call the price for the third time when suddenly the woman raised her paddle once again.

The auctioneer came to an abrupt stop and announced, "Three million and one hundred thousand. The lady has offered three million and one hundred thousand."

Impatient, Samuel was about to raise his paddle to offer three million and five hundred thousand when Sophia pressed his hand down.

Taken aback, Samuel asked, "What's wrong? I can afford to buy the bag. It's only around three million."

Sophia tutted. "Mr. Schild, you are both rich and generous, but this bag only cost one point five million when it was sold on the market. Since it's now discontinued, its reserve price in the auction is one point eight million, and two point five million is already a high price to pay. If you increase the price beyond three million, you'll be losing more than one million instead. It's not worth it."

In her opinion, the bag wasn't worth three point five million.

"Never mind. We're having fun, aren't we? I promised to get it for you, so even if I have to fork out thirty million, I must get it done."

Sophia was amused by his response. "Mr. Schild, you don't mind acting foolishly, but I do!"

If he successfully bids for the bag at three point five million, I'm not even sure if I could sell it for two million later on.
