Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 108

Only Nellie knew the backstory: in their past life, Cameron had also auctioned off this heart-shaped locket, only to gift it to Greta in the end. Oddly, Greta never uncovered the secret of Timeless Cycle and, bored with it, handed it down as a gift to Nellie's daughter. In that bygone life, Nellie had once confronted Cameron about his favoritism with a heavy heart. "I'm your wife, and I love this locket too, yet you didn't hesitate to give such a precious thing to my sister. Do you even love me?" Cameron's response stung. He dismissed her feelings entirely with a casual, "If your sister wants it, let her have it. I'll just get you another one." The following day, he brought home a cheap imitation worth barely a few thousand.

Nellie closed her eyes, and the memories from before still felt like fresh wounds. The sting of being belittled by someone she loved was something she could never get used to. If it were anything else, Nellie might have let it slide. But this locket was her only clue to finding her daughter, and she was ready to do whatever it took to get it back.

She raised her bidding paddle with determination. "I bid 50.01 million."

The crowd was baffled. "Aren't they a couple? Why is Nellie bidding against Mr. Dawson? If he wins, wouldn't he just give it to her?"

A few sharp observers caught on. "Maybe Mr. Dawson doesn't plan to give the locket to his wife."

"What? How could he do that to her?" The crowd murmured in disapproval.

Cameron couldn't ignore the whispers around him. His face reddened with embarrassment, but his resolve to win the locket stayed strong. "60 million," he countered.
