She was bullying his woman in front of him?Winnie was really tiresome!However, just as Shawn was about to speak, Gale spoke first, "There is no need to call security so as not to disturb Mr. Wood. Ms. Nightingale, I know you are a popular female star with tens of millions of fans, and everyone knows you."Winnie was full of superiority. "It's good that you know!"Gale smiled slightly and continued, "But I'm not an ordinary passer-by with no name or distinction. Just now, I heard you and Mr. Wood had discussed endorsement and other things, right.""Yes! This is a matter between Mr. Wood and me. Don't meddle in other business.""Lovito is just a product of Wood Group. Mr. Wood is the strategic person in charge, and he wouldn't care about such trivial matters. So, Ms. Nightingale, if you want to be the spokesperson of Lovito, you can talk to me."Winnie was a little disbelieving when she heard this.She looked Gale up and down. "You? Who are you? What is your status, and do you
"What?! I represent so many luxury brands. I'm the most suitable person to represent the Wood Group. Why would you deny me like that?""An endorsed celebrity doesn't just represent the product, but the company's image and core values. I'm sorry, but we won't consider working with someone of your character, Ms. Nightingale," Gale said.Winnie pointed at Gale but could not find the words to say.She had been so intent on getting closer to Shawn. She would first get endorsed by the Wood Group. After that, she would develop a personal relationship with Mr. Wood. She might even be able to use that opportunity to become Mr. Wood's secret lover…Yet, the moment Gale appeared, it all went up in smoke!"Put your hand away. Winnie, she's not someone you can point at," Shawn said calmly.His sharp gaze swept across here, and Winnie shuddered. She immediately pulled her hand back. Shawn was way too imposing. Winnie tried to act cute. "Mr. Wood, I think we…we can still try working togethe
Facing the handsome Aurum, Winnie regained her smile. "Hello Mr. Lefting, I'm so jealous of Natalie. You're such a good fiance. She always sings you praises."She became friends with Natalie precisely because she wanted to climb the social ladder and get to know even more of the rich elite.Even though she made a lot as an actress, she still needed to depend on her youthful looks. If she ever suffered a drop in her popularity, her income would suffer too.So, Winnie was intent on marrying someone rich so she could enjoy the lifestyle of a rich wife.Aurum said politely, "Ms. Nightingale, you're so pretty. You'll be able to get an ideal love life too.""Aurum, do you know any single men around you? Introduce one of them to Winnie. She's still single," Natalie said.Winnie's eyes lit up.She had been waiting for Natalie to say that!She tried really hard to form a good relationship with Natalie, and she was finally seeing the fruits of her labor.Natalie was no idiot either. She
Shawn said plainly, "What if I buy Heart of the Sea and give it to you?"Gale suddenly looked at him.Buy it?Was he being serious?"Only you would be a match for it, my princess," Shawn said.A crown was naturally suited to a princess.She was his princess.Gale composed herself and answered, "No need, I wouldn't dare. There are some things that are better off just being looked at.""But I want you to have it.""There are too many people who want Heart of the Sea. If it goes on auction, the fight will be very intense," Gale answered.Shawn raised his head, and his eyes were full of confidence and pride. "I've never let anything I want evade my grasp."Even though everyone here was rich and wealthy, no one was able to stand up to the Wood Family's wealth!"I don't want it. Shawn, stop wasting your money and effort. Even if you buy ten of them, things are impossible between us!" Gale refused."When a woman says no, she means yes.""You!" Gale bit her lips.In truth, she o
She would die to keep Aurum!"Natalie, Gale isn't like that. There are a lot of things you don't know. Don't misunderstand her," Aurum explained."Fine, I'll stop talking about her."She answered Aurum that, but Natalie actually hated Gale even more.Even after Aurum saw Gale and Mr. Wood being so intimate, he still defended Gale!She was really surprised.At that moment, the Heart of the Sea was officially unveiled."Dear esteemed guests, what you will see next is the finale of this year's jewelry fair, and it's the treasure of the exhibition. It's a crown from royalty. It's been through centuries of trials and hardships, yet still shines incomparably. It's the Heart of the Sea!" the host said passionately.Right after he said that, the red cloth was pulled away by four employees!On the rectangular stand, the priceless crown stood there under the light, attracting everyone's attention.No matter how they looked at it, the crown was dazzling.It was elegant and classy. The
How many of the wealthy would be so free to spend billions on a crown that did not have any practical usage?Shawn's expression remained serious. No one could tell what he was thinking."It's so expensive. I feel like no one is going to bid on it," Gale said.Shawn answered, "Let's wait and see."The auctioneer said, "The auction will officially begin. Bids will start at one and a half billion dollars. Will anyone be bidding?"There was complete silence.At that moment, Aurum suddenly said, "I."Everyone looked toward him.Natalie earned looks of envy and jealousy from every woman there standing next to Aurum!If Aurum bought it, it would definitely be for his fiance!It was 1.5 billion! He was spending a fortune just to make his woman smile. Seeing that, Winnie immediately said, "Wow, Natalie, you're so lucky! Mr. Lefting is actually buying the Heart of the Sea for you!"Natalie let out a shy smile as she looked at Gale with a pleased expression.She was the daughter of
"Aurum wants to buy it for his fiance. It's perfect. Don't try to mess things up!""Mess things up?" Shawn raised an eyebrow. "He's buying it for his fiance, and I'm buying it for my wife. There's no conflict."After that, he tried to raise the bidding board again.Gale tried her best to stop him.The two of them looked like they just had their hands by the side, but they were actually struggling against each other."Stop it. I don't want this. Just give it to Aurum and Natalie!" Gale said.She did not want the attention.If Shawn really ended up buying the Heart of the Sea, Natalie would end up holding a grudge against her!She did not want to be enemies with Natalie. Aurum would suffer being between the two of them!"Whether you want it or not is your decision. Whether I'm buying it or not is mine," Shawn said.Was he really not going to buy it because she said no?Impossible.Joe had already told Shawn that, no matter what Gale said, Shawn should not believe her until th
That unassuming, gentle-looking woman was actually the Mrs. Wood of legend!She had only been heard of before and never seen. Yet, she had appeared that day!She kept such a low profile!"When we arrived today, I introduced my wife to the media outside. Now, in front of all you esteemed guests, I'll introduce her again. Gale is my wife. She's the woman I'll spend my life with!" Shawn said.Both Natalie and Winnie's expressions soured immensely. They even started to pale.Gale was actually Shawn's wife!That woman who had the envy of every single woman in Sea City was Gale!Winnie finally understood why Shawn agreed when Gale said they would not work with her!"So, I want to buy the Heart of the Sea for my wife. Is there a problem with that, Mr. Lefting?" Shawn replied with a smirk.Gale looked down at her feet.She was the target of all the attention at that moment, and she did not want to look up to meet anyone's gaze.They had been married for so long, but Shawn chose the
