The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 615

Ten million dollars!

The quiet auction hall erupted in an instant, buzzing with disbelief.

Summer had only been famous for a few years-she wasn't some legendary master with a name etched into art history. No matter how valuable her paintings were, there was just no way one of them could go for ten million. It was

outrageous.

And yet, just as Aurora announced her bid and the shockwaves still rippled through the crowd, Foreman who had been silent this whole time-raised his paddle.

Haynes, Jasper, and Rachel, all seated beside him, turned to stare in surprise.

Foreman's lips curled into a calm smile. "I came here for this painting, and nothing else."

Across the room, Aurora glanced in Foreman's direction, then confidently raised her paddle again.

"Twelve million."

Foreman didn't hesitate. "Thirteen million."

Sherman's face darkened as he looked at Foreman. "Is he just trying to outbid Aurora on purpose?"
