Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife

Chapter 29

She knew that emerald bracelet like the back of her hand.

It had been on her mother Malinda’s wrist since she could remember, an heirloom from her grandma.

Malinda had said that when Letitia tied the knot, the bracelet would be hers

But then the Sanders family hit rock bottom, and every valuable thing in the house got hawked.

She never expected to see that emerald bracelet again today.

“Starting bid, two hundred thousand. May the highest bidder take it!”

Two hundred thousand! As if Letitia had that kind of money! And the crowd, all wealthy, barely gave a damn about the emerald bracelet

Then, out of the blue, a soft female voice piped up. “I bid two hundred thousand.”

Heads swiveled to the owner of the voice.

There was Letitia, holding up her bid number, resolute as ever.

“You? Do you even have the cash?” Shela sneered, spotting her, “You couldn’t cough up two thousand, let alone two

million!”

The room erupted in laughter, and Letitia bit her

lip. She was broke, but she couldn’t just stand by and watch the emerald bracelet go to someone else.

Shela blurted out loud, “Mr. Auctioneer, ignore her, she’s just stirring the pot!”

Letitia slowly lowered her bidding sign.

Sorry, Mom, I’ve failed you, couldn’t keep safe your beloved bracelet.

Elgin watched Letitia thoughtfully

Just then, Walden chimed in, “Three hundred thousand.”

At that voice, Letitia’s head snapped up. He recognized it, too!

Walden gave her a slight smile, a reassuring look. He’d buy it and then give it to her.

The auctioneer nodded, “Alright, Mr. Sullivan bids three hundred thousand. Any advance on that?”

“What’s the deal, Shela muttered, “is there something special about that emerald bracelet that everyone’s after it….”

Elgin quipped, “You want it?”
