Honey, You're a Billionaire by Chandler Solar

Chapter 515 Reunion With an Old Acquaintance

When Rose saw Clover, she instinctively murmured his name. Her volume was low, but the people around her still heard it amid the dead silence.

At first, Clover seemed cold with an unwavering gaze. However, upon sensing Rose's eyes on him, he met her gaze despite knowing everyone was watching and smiled affectionately. He seemed to be saying, "Leave it to me to secure this suit!" Soon, he withdrew his gaze and resumed his cold demeanor. He lifted his chin slightly as if warning everyone in the crowd, "Whoever dares to bid against me, bring it on!"

His imposing presence made the woman in the corner frown. It was also then the audience looked in her direction, anticipating her next bid. Yet, they didn't hear that hoarse voice again.

As such, the auctioneer spoke, "This gentleman has raised the bid to 30 million dollars. Do we have any other offers?"

The audience was silent. Then, the auctioneer announced, "30 million, going once... Going twice... Sold!" Nobody raised their paddles anymore before the hammer finalized the bidding.

Clover glanced at Rose again and raised his brows with a smile, seemingly awaiting her praise. Undeniably, she felt touched by his action. He quickly sensed her gratitude through her expression and straightened up in his seat.

He was ready to glance at Miles and flaunt how much better he treated her, yet he noticed that the latter was in a complete daze. Nonetheless, he brushed it off and didn't overthink it.

The auction continued. More items were sold one after another, but none exceeded the final price of Oliver's suit. It seemed that everyone was still absorbed in the earlier bidding. Anastasia could no longer maintain her smile. She had planned for Rose to embarrass herself, yet she had become the event's highlight! And the suit, purchased by Clover...

She knew all too well that he had bought the suit, at a hefty price of 30 million dollars, for Rose. At that thought, she looked at Rose and was even more infuriated by her look of relief. Damn it!

Then, she thought of Number 77, wondering why the lady didn't bid against Rose. She looked mysterious, keeping her head down with sunglasses the whole time when bidding.
