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

He could give it to her, but he refused to. Instead, he wanted to spend so much on jewelry to prove his love."Freedom… I wouldn't be able to get you back no matter how much money I spend. So, I can't give it to you, Galey," Shawn answered."You just don't want to."He pursed his lips and said, "I can give you anything else."Gale pursed her lips and smiled bitterly.The auctioneer reacted and quickly tried to salvage the situation. "Mrs. Wood must think it's too expensive. She must be thinking about Mr. Wood's bank account. The auction continues. Mr. Wood bid a million and six hundred. Are there any higher bids?"Up till then, only two people had bid on it.It did not seem like Aurum was going to bid anymore. Natalie almost shattered her teeth from grinding her jaws too hard.All of the attention that day had fallen on Gale! She had not gotten any at all!Even a well-known actress like Winnie had been ignored!They could not believe that Gale even dared to pretend that she

"... Alright. I'll concede to Mr. Wood and… Mrs. Wood," Aurum answered.Aurum knew how to evaluate the situation.He would have to spend close to three billion dollars, and he would even make an enemy out of Shawn. No matter what, it was not worth it.He would lose too much!The auctioneer said, "Alright! Mr. Wood has put in a 2.8 billion dollar bid! Is anyone going to bid anything higher? Then, I'll formally announce that a deal has been made for the Heart of the Sea! Mr. Wood has won the bid!"That was met with a lot of applause that did not stop.However, Gale did not feel happy at all.When she needed money, Shawn acted so stingy and petty, not giving it to her. She had been forced to pick up trash and recyclables.To him, that had just been a completely insignificant amount of money. It would have gotten her mother the special medication, but he refused. It ended up making her mother worse. Yet, at that moment, he spent so much just to get her an extravagant crown. Yes

Throwing it like that, letting it fall like that…would definitely crack it!Almost instinctively, Gale lunged forward when the crown was falling quickly. She leaned forward and grabbed the crown tightly with her hands.Thankfully, she was very lucky.When the crown was only half a meter away from falling on the ground, Gale managed to grab it!She had used so much force that her veins could clearly be seen on the back of her hand.Furthermore, the crown was made of gold. As she clutched it, the sharp side pierced her palm.It hurt a little. However, Gale did not care about the pain at that moment.She was looking at the crown in her hand. Her heart finally started to stop beating so quickly.Thankfully, she managed to grab it!She managed to save a treasure of the jewelry world!"Shawn!" Gale looked up, her shock still on her face. "What are you doing?! Why did you let go?!"She was terrified, and everyone else was shocked as well. Only Shawn remained impassive. "You did

However, dozens of bodyguards cleared the way. The head bodyguard held a black umbrella and followed Shawn and Gale, completely isolating the crowd and the lights.In this manner, the reporters could not see their faces. They only saw Shawn's black suit trousers and Gale's white skirt swaying gracefully.An observant bystander shouted…"Mrs. Wood is holding the Heart of the Deep Sea!""What?""She held such a precious crown in her hand so casually? Why didn't she pack it in a box?"The camera captured Gale's hand, seizing the short few seconds, getting all kinds of close-ups.Gale walked quickly and then got into the car.The windows were covered with light-blocking film, so it was impossible to see what was happening inside.The hustle and bustle outside finally cooled off.Gale lowered her head and looked at the crown in her hand.The skin on her palm was punctured, but there was no blood, as it was just a small injury."I'll give it back to you. Here," she said. Gale h

He kept calling her name, "Gale, Gale. Try to love me, okay? Just love me a little bit. A little bit is enough. I don't want much..."As long as he got a little love from her, he would be satisfied and ask for nothing more.The crown lay in Gale's hand quietly.It seemed that it was just a toy bought casually in a jewelry store, not jewelry worth a crazy sum of money.The blue gem in the middle of the crown exuded a faint blue light.Like the sea.Gale closed her eyes. "Shawn...""I'm here.""Let's let each other go. Let me go and set yourself free," she whispered.They were still young.Shawn, who was not yet thirty, had a high position and was rich.Life had just begun.There were infinite possibilities for the future.Why stick to this short two or three years of entanglement?"Gale, how could you just let me go like this? When I misunderstood you, I tortured you and humiliated you. Now...it's finally your turn to torture me. Don't you want to vent your hatred on me?"
