CHAPTER 90: CHAPTER 90: LIGHTING THE HEAVENLY LANTERN FOR HER

Although shouting in her heart, Sabrina quickly reacted.

With her understanding of Josee, she always felt this man was up to something bad!

Therefore, her gaze at him became even more suspicious.

Across a few seats, Jordan naturally saw this scene as well.

From this angle, Sabrina and Josee seemed to be exchanging amorous glances.

Inexplicably, a surge of anger rose in his chest.

When this woman proposed divorce, she was so carefree, because she had Josee to rely on. She could get whatever she wanted, so she dared to say she’d walk away with nothing.

But now... they haven’t divorced yet!

Jordan’s eyes were dark, and he spoke in a cold voice, "One hundred and fifty million."

As soon as these words came out, the scene was once again filled with gasps.

Unexpectedly... added fifty million again?

And it was President Hawthorne who spoke.

Are these two facing off again?

And right in front of the wife and the lover...

Sabrina didn’t expect the man to bid.

Was this to step in because Brooke couldn’t call out the price?

Brooke was also full of surprise.

Earlier, when Josee called out one hundred million, the humiliation was obvious.

But this price, she really couldn’t call out.

She didn’t expect Jordan to appear and make a move, helping her buy this necklace.

Her heart was fluttering with joy, looking at him with eyes full of tenderness and gratitude.

Josee also didn’t anticipate him speaking.

The intention today in raising the bid was to drain Brooke’s finances, but now...

Thinking of how Sabrina had to swallow her pride and ask him for an advance on dividends to buy medicine.

This person casually raised his hand and tossed out one hundred and fifty million to buy a necklace for his lover.

Josee’s eyes narrowed slightly, his tone tinged with chill, "One hundred and eighty million!"

Jordan’s expression was cold, and he followed by raising the bid, "Two hundred million."

Josee was assertive, not giving an inch, "Two hundred and thirty million!"

Jordan frowned fiercely and continued to bid, "Two hundred and fifty million..."

The people at the scene were dumbfounded.

Although everyone present could afford this price, the necklace really wasn’t worth it.

Forty million had already greatly exceeded the original price, and no one was willing to be the fool.

But now, these two big shots forced it up to hundreds of millions.

Everyone couldn’t help but doubt if the necklace would be speculated to a higher price.

It’s truly worthy of being the heads of The Sheffield Group and Hawthorne Group, they were indeed wealthy!

The crowd was eager to see the drama, hoping to see how far the two would ’fight.’

Then, the dramatic scene occurred!

They saw Josee, who had been eager to fight to the end earlier, suddenly reveal a roguish smile and lazily said, "President Hawthorne’s business tactics are good, but his taste really isn’t. Spending two hundred and fifty million on an ordinary diamond, I really can’t compete, so I’ll leave it to you!"

With these words, Jordan’s brows furrowed, faintly perceiving something.

Brooke heard the insinuation in his words.

Ordinary diamond, who was he referring to?

Saying Jordan had poor taste, but originally she wanted the necklace!

Is this indirectly scolding her, or Jordan?

She couldn’t stand it, and couldn’t help retorting, "President Sheffield was bidding quite passionately earlier too, wasn’t he?"

Josee calmly replied, "Oh, I was just casually bidding for fun. Sabrina has high standards, she doesn’t fancy ordinary stuff like this, and I also feel this cheap item doesn’t suit her!

Anyway, congratulations to Miss Sinclairs, President Hawthorne spared no expense buying what your heart desires!"

Brooke was so angry that she almost lost control of her expression.

This Josee, really hateful!

Mischievously raising the bid, making Jordan spend so much money in vain, and yet, he belittled the necklace with his words.

Originally, the joy in her heart for Jordan’s defense had vanished.

The necklace she liked also started to become annoying.

Meanwhile, the auctioneer on stage, fearing they might renege, quickly struck the auction hammer, "Congratulations to President Hawthorne and Miss Sinclairs, on acquiring this necklace."

Jordan’s face was dark, full of displeasure from being manipulated.

Brooke couldn’t smile at all.

The guests who watched the entire scene struggled to hold back their laughter.

Who could have thought the event would unfold like this?

President Sheffield’s straightforward tactics were way too damaging!!!

Sabrina also felt somewhat amused and helpless.

She can obviously see Josee was venting for her.

But in her heart, it wasn’t as satisfying as she imagined.

For others, two hundred and fifty million was casually thrown, but for her, he wasn’t willing to give even a penny...

How did she endure Jordan’s stinginess in the past?

For the first time, Sabrina felt her past self was unworthy.

The auction continued.

Next, several antiques were exhibited and taken by other guests.

Josee and Jordan didn’t make any bids again.

In the blink of an eye, the auction reached the halfway point.

The medicinal herb Jasper mentioned was finally brought up.

The guests were unenthusiastic about this, and almost nobody bid.

Sabrina was delighted.

No one competing means she can spend less money!

Josee noticed it immediately and bid, "Five hundred thousand."

As soon as the voice rang out, everyone looked over, then glanced at Jordan.

Just now, Josee had deceived him once, would he take this opportunity for revenge?

Jordan had been filled with irritation since earlier.

Upon hearing the bid for the herb from Josee, he almost without hesitation followed, "Eight hundred thousand."

The crowd was surprised.

Did he really bid?

Isn’t he afraid of being tricked again?

Jordan truly wasn’t afraid.

The Sheffield Group is currently conducting medical research, this herb is evidently useful, Josee wasn’t just bidding for fun.

He was never one to suffer losses easily, being calculated against, he naturally wouldn’t let it slide.

But Sabrina’s face turned somewhat gloomy.

This herb is needed for Zara.

Her budget was limited, she couldn’t afford Jordan to keep raising the bid.

Josee seemed to notice her emotions and promptly reassured her with a tap on the table, then suddenly raised his palm to make a gesture.

The crowd saw it and instantly exclaimed.

This is... the meaning of ’lighting the sky lamp’?

No matter who bids, it will ultimately be bought by Josee.

"President Sheffield is domineering!"

"So handsome, just looking makes me want to marry!"

Many noblewomen and young ladies at the scene were captivated by his actions.

Sabrina was also surprised, not expecting Josee to make this move.

Her heart was conflicted with both bitterness and gratitude.

This herb is for Zara. He knew she desperately needed it.

However, how could she let him spend so much money for nothing when he went to such lengths to help her?

Sabrina gritted her teeth, choosing not to look at Jordan, but instead spoke to the auctioneer on stage, "You didn’t introduce the effects of this herb earlier, could you please provide an explanation?"

The auctioneer quickly spoke up, "Certainly, this rare herb is used for patients with psychological disorders and has significant effects when combined with other medicines."

Sabrina nodded, saying, "Thank you, please continue!"
