My Super Sassy Dad: Stop Running Away, Mrs. Quinn!

Chapter 813: Chapter 803: What Are You Up To Again?

"Twenty million," Melody Thorne directly tripled the bid.

Her presence reminded those bored journalists focused on jewelry about some good news stories.

"Forty million," came the voice of Jane Rowan from behind her.

From the moment she entered the venue, Jane found Melody Thorne’s presence completely disagreeable; she didn’t know why, but she was determined to win the Heart of the Ocean.

Eighty million," Melody Thorne continued to increase the bid.

’Eighty million," several people behind had already given up the right to bid,

though the Heart of the Ocean is a top-tier piece of jewelry, eighty million was already very high, very few jewels ever sell for such a price.

"Miss Thorne, are you intentionally bidding against me?" Jane Rowan had already walked to the front,

The Rowan Family is wealthy, and no one dares to openly oppose her.

"Miss Rowan, we both like this, let’s just compete with money," Melody Thorne spoke nonchalantly, "The highest bidder wins, Miss Rowan can continue bidding."

Saying this, she handed her bidding number to Timmy, "You can bid freely, but that one is ours, just treat it as a game."

"Alright," Timmy raised the card several times randomly.

The auction’s climax turned into a venue for two women battling over jewelry.

"Since Miss Thorne wants me to accompany her in playing, I will play along to the end," Jane Rowan picked up the number card, "Everyone listen up, I will automatically double any bid Melody Thorne makes afterward."

A commotion followed, wondering how much this would end up selling for.

To prevent it from getting out of hand, Leon Rivers immediately stepped forward, "No need to bid further on this jewelry, I decide to withdraw it. Let’s move on to something else."

"This... This..." The host hesitated for a moment, thinking that investors would certainly be pleased with such bidding, but since Leon Rivers spoke up, they could only take it off stage,

"Mr. Rivers, what does this mean now? Are you afraid the Rowan Family can’t afford it?"

Jane Rowan, being the young lady she is, had never been insulted like this, her expression darkened considerably.

"Miss Rowan misunderstood, this isn’t about money at all. Since half of this auction belongs to the Rivers Family, I have the authority to handle the items. In fact, my girlfriend likes it, so I plan to keep it for her. There will certainly be an invitation for Miss Rowan next time for good jewelry."

As Leon Rivers glanced over, Melody Thorne noticed Chloe Summers.

Jane Rowan snorted, "Our Rowan Family can acquire any kind of jewelry, even without coming to the Rivers Family, we can still find better ones than this."

"Well, that’s good," Leon Rivers secured the jewelry box, instructing the auctioneer on stage to proceed to the next item.

There were still a few major ones later on, Melody Thorne went on to bid for bracelets and other items.

"Where’s Timmy?"

In the blink of an eye, Timmy’s whereabouts were unknown.

"He might have gone to the restroom," Jared Quinn spoke.

After finishing their conversation, Yulia O’Connell and Nathan Knight were about to return to the club when they saw Cole O’Connell at the corner. At this moment, he was leaning against the wall with an upright figure, his deep, intimidating eyes fixed on her,

originally should have been fuming with rage, but now carried a calm demeanor.

"Finished talking?" Cole O’Connell extinguished the cigarette in his hand, wrapping an arm around her slender waist, his tall figure pressed closely,

not showing any danger nor any sign of safety.

"What are you planning now? I took the initiative to talk with Nathan Knight, it has nothing to do with him."

These words would have certainly angered Cole O’Connell previously, but now he seemed to be listening to her explanation.

"What did you say to him?" Cole O’Connell lowered his head, with his long fingers gently twirling a strand of hair on her shoulder.
