"... 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?"
"Bah!"She did not want to stay!Gale became angry from embarrassment. After much deliberation, she lifted her high heels and stomped on Shawn's feet with her slender heels!Pathetic man!Arrogant and selfish!She turned her head and got into Pearton's car, holding the crown in her hands.To be honest, Gale felt really uneasy carrying such precious jewelry with her.What if it got lost or robbed?Now everyone in Sea City knew that the Heart of the Deep Sea was in her hands. What would she do if some gangsters and robbers came to snatch it?Shawn clearly handed her a hot potato!"Alas..."Gale sighed countless times, lowered her head, and played with the crown.Such a good thing was worthless, like a toy bought from a roadside stall."Ma'am, what are you worried about? Can I help?" Pearton asked.Gale raised the crown and said, "Tell me, what should I do with it?"She could not wear it anywhere.She would have to get a safe if she wanted to lock it up.She was also afra
She had no idea the Internet blew up.The media was writing news overnight, released headlines, and vividly described the auction process of Heart of the Deep Sea.Coupled with Shawn's public acknowledgment of Gale's identity, the entire Internet was discussing her all of a sudden!Gale fell asleep in a daze. However, Peter kept knocking on the door. "Gale, Gale!"She reluctantly got up and opened the door, "Dad, it's early in the morning, what's the matter?""Look at your phone!" Peter said as he grabbed the crown on the doll's head, "The internet is talking about this! Shawn bought it for you for 2.8 billion dollars?"Gale was speechless.Peter wore his reading glasses and said, "It also said that this is the only one in the world, and it is a cultural relic. Besides that, everyone knows that you are Mrs. Wood! Look, there are even photos here!" The photos were from the exhibition hall yesterday.The most widely circulated and most discussed photo was the one of Gale leaving
"2.8 billion dollars, tsk tsk... so much money, I can't even imagine it.""Hey, wait, Gale, someone picked up your family background.""Oops, they started to dig... It's over, they've uncovered the previous grievances between the Warm family and the Wood family.""Gale, what are you doing? Hurry up and answer the message!" The phone kept ringing, but Gale felt a little numb.No wonder it is said that people are afraid of being famous.It had only been so long, and the history of eighteen generations of her ancestors was about to be revealed.Someone even wrote an article titled 'The Secret Of Gale's Life Experience - How To Go From Killing Her Father And Being The Enemy's Daughter To Becoming Sea City's No. 1 Wealthy Young Mistress'.Summer sent a link to this article.Gale finished reading it.She had to admit that the writing was really detailed, that even Alex's death, Peter's involvement, his imprisonment, etc., are all written.However... the article was deleted, and the
She quickly handed over the car keys with both hands.Shawn stomped on the accelerator and drove directly to where Gale lived.At this moment, Gale was rummaging through boxes and cabinets at home, looking for a place where the Heart of the Deep Sea could be hidden.However, she always felt it was unsafe to put it anywhere!After a lot of tossing and sweating, Gale finally sat on the sofa, staring at the crown in a daze.This was simply a hot potato.She wailed and lay flat on the sofa when she suddenly felt a little pain in her stomach.This made her panic all of a sudden, and she ran to the bathroom to take a look.Fortunately, there was no blood.However, such pain always made her uneasy. After taking the medicine, she called Dr. Lighton.After asking about her symptoms, Dr. Lighton replied, "It should be caused by overworking and lack of rest. I also saw the news on the internet. Last night at the jewelry exhibition, you were wearing high heels and standing for a long tim
