“Does Andrew’s predicament please you?” he asked, assuring she’d be upset.
Renee’s eyes spakled with delight.
Seeing her ex–fiancé in distress brought her undeniable joy
The final item was unveiled, a set of diamond bracelets.
The allure was immediate, eclipsing the previous items in desirability.
Wealthy bidders prepared to vie for it, possibly as a lavish L
Marcelo, without hesitation, raised his paddle. “Two billion.
His bid cast a hush over the crowd.
“What the fuck? Two billion right off the bat? Did he even leave room for others to bid?” Someone whispered, Who is that man? The one next to Renee!”
“I don’t have a clue! But such extravagance… he’s richer than Andrew!”
“That’s Marcelo King, isn’t it?”
“Impossible! Marcelo isn’t favored in the King family and doesn’t have that much money. Plus, Andrew didn’t even greet him when he got here.That man can not be the same Marcelo that is supposedly an outcast in the King family.”
As the auction wrapped up, the winning bidders were directed to the conference room to complete payment and sign ownership transfer documents.
Andrew commented sarcastically, “One billion for a winery, Cousin, you certainly know how to spend money.”
He discreetly kept his voice low as he referred to Marcelo as “Cousin,” ensuring he wouldn’t be overheard.
Before Marcelo had a chance to reply, Renee interjected with a smile, “Not quite as extravagant as your girlfriend, though.”
She then turned her attention to Catherine, adding, “Miss Hudson, it seems you went over your budget by an extra 100 million today, just in an attempt to compete with me, right?”
Catherine, defensive, shot back, “I wasn’t competing with you. You were the one trying to compete with me!”
Andrew’s heart sank hearing this.
He knew Catherine had overspent, but the reality of an additional hundred million stung.
That was one hundred million, not ten million!
Renee simply smiled, offering no further comment.
When the time came to sign for the diamond bracelet set, Marcelo extended the pen to Renee.
Renee looked puzzled at the gesture. Marcelo explained, “s a gift for you.”
“I don’t need it.““She declined promptly.
Her mindset was clear: if there was something she truly desired, she would purchase it herself.
