The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret

Chapter 533 High-Bid Games

The auction room was eerily silent. This was just an unremarkable necklace, yet it was fetching the highest bid of the charity event?

Others had essentially dropped out of the competition, watching with interest to see how the two top fools from Saeville would resolve this.

It was evident that Sawyer was stepping up for Freya, Nathaniel's wife, adding to the spectacle of their romantic entanglements.

Sawyer had lost it!

The host's voice trembled as they took up the gavel, their excitement palpable but shaky, crying out, "Twenty million once! Twenty million twice..."

"Thirty million!" Nathaniel's voice was cold and detached, as if thirty million were just a number, a mere digit in his world where money flowed in and out daily without much meaning.

Sawyer's face darkened just as his phone buzzed with a message from Freya.

"Don't outbid him! I was just interested in the design; no need to engage with that fool. Let him waste his money."

Sawyer's frown eased at her words, feeling a warm sense of camaraderie.

It was the first time Freya spoke to him like a comrade, showing a playful side he hadn't seen before.

Seeing her call Nathaniel a fool brought a smile to his face.

Just as he was about to raise the paddle to irritate Nathaniel further, Alexander firmly pressed his arm down and whispered coldly, "If you bid again, I'll cut off your hand."

Sawyer let his paddle drop and reclined on the sofa, laughing. “Fine, fine, I won't bid. Don't get so worked up, brother. It's not worth it."

Mandy, seeing Freya's discontented expression, muttered, "Let it go. He's just a madman."

"I'd rather talk to a smart person than argue with a fool."

"Let's just wait and see if Grace, that mistress, can actually wear that big gold chain."
