The Heart I Gave The Love I Lost

This time, Rex didn’t follow suit.

In the end, Julia won the antique vase for 50 million, attracting admiring glances from everyone in the hall.

Once the deal was done, Julia’s heart was still not entirely at ease.

Although the Brown family was quite wealthy, and her grandmother loved antiques, spending this much money on a single item still felt like a huge deal.

If her family found out about the price, they would definitely be shocked.

Moreover, Franklin had essentially agreed to let her go as high as 70 million.

But she still felt uneasy about the price. She privately capped her bid at 50 million.

Thinking of Franklin’s generosity and wealth, Julia felt a warmth spread through her chest.

Jessica whispered: “Damn! 50 million!”

These two items together had already cost 50 million, and she felt the pang of jealousy deep

in her bones.

Her envy wasn’t just at the money–she felt a sense of physical discomfort, as if every inch

of her body was aching.

Maggie pursed her lips, her expression unreadable.

Jessica noticed her reaction and asked softly, “Mag, are you… okay?”

Franklin’s generosity toward his mistress, and the fact that she was the daughter of her

mother’s mistress, made the situation even more difficult to swallow.

Could she handle this?

But Maggie’s expression wasn’t sour because of that.

“Franklin has money. He can spend it however he likes. It doesn’t bother me.”

“What I care about is, if there’s something I want to bid on and Franklin and Julia also want

it, with my financial situation, I can’t possibly outbid them.”

Jessica realized the gravity of the situation: “That’s true… But she’s already bought two items. She probably won’t bid anymore, right?”

Let’s hope so.

But knowing Franklin’s wealth, he could easily spend another few hundred million without

blinking.

Just as Maggie was thinking this, the next item she had her eye on–a piece of embroidered

art–was brought out.

The starting price for the embroidery was 700,000 dollars.
