Chapter 68

Unfortunately, Natasha chose not to place a bid.

Because the previous rounds had been so intense, when the familiar private box placed another bid this time, no one even tried to compete.

Natasha won the bracelet for just 800 thousand dollars, which was not much above the original price.

In fact, it was Alexei who raised the paddle this time.

When Natasha asked him about it, he just replied calmly, “It matches your outfit.”

Natasha glanced down at her pale blue dress and the emerald bracelet she was already wearing on her left wrist.

“Well, if Mr. Turner says we need it, then I guess that’s that,’ Natasha thought to herself.

Olivia hadn’t expected Natasha to actually go through with a bid.

She agreed with Lucas and thought that there was no way Natasha and Alexei were really that

close.

After all, Natasha had always backed out at the last minute before.

Olivia figured Natasha must have known Alexei wouldn’t have her back financially, so after messing with them for a bit, she just stopped.

After all, the total spent in just a few rounds had already gone over 70 million dollars.

The richer people were, the more shrewd they became. No toy would be worth 70 million dollars.

But this bracelet made Olivia start to second–guess her theory.

Then, after a moment, she talked herself back into it.

Alexei wasn’t like most rich heirs. To him, throwing hundreds of thousands of dollars away wouldn’t bother him at all.

Natasha probably figured out exactly where his limit was and took the chance to get him to buy her that bracelet.

Olivia just couldn’t stand seeing Natasha get whatever she wanted with such effortless charm, so she jumped right back into the bidding in the next round.

She thought, ‘Alexei might not care about spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, but what if Natasha blew tens of millions dollars in a single night?

‘He might not feel the pinch, but he’d definitely start to notice just how reckless and greedy

Natasha could be.

‘Once there is a crack between them, Natasha’s protection will start to fall apart even faster!

With that in mind, just as Natasha was about to snag the second–to–last item, Olivia called out a confident 15 million dollars.

As expected, Natasha’s brows knitted together. She kept her face icy cold and coolly upped the bid without hesitation.

“20 million,” Natasha said.

“23 million,” Olivia shot back.

Lucas could tell something was off and reached out to stop Olivia. “This necklace isn’t worth that kind of money.”

Olivia shook her head. “Relax, I’m not dead set on winning it.

“Natasha’s been way too much today–I just want to show her she can’t let her pride run wild at an auction.”
