Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 152

"Starting at ten million, Mr. Vance seems determined to win the Diamond Crown," someone murmured, awe evident in their voice.

"Isn't it obvious? Miss Lynwood mentioned she adored the Diamond Crown. Naturally, Mr. Vance would go to great lengths to make her smile!"

"How envious of Miss Lynwood. Mr. Vance truly dotes on her."

In the midst of the envious chatter, a refined and clear voice piped up, "Ten million and one."

The crowd was momentarily stunned.

They turned toward the voice and were even more surprised to see Samuel standing there.

Serena's eyes widened in shock too. She tugged gently at Samuel's sleeve. "Samuel, be reasonable," she whispered. "You can't outbid Aaron."

If Cynthia Lynwood wanted something, Aaron would surely make it his mission to obtain it.

Samuel just turned his head, smiling warmly at Serena. "Do you want it, my dear?"

His smile was as sincere and gentle as a springtime sunbeam.
