He had just spent 30 million on Oliver's suit and was now bidding again! Who was this extravagant fellow? Rose
was just in the middle of feeling bitter about Jonathan's bid when Clover's voice pulled her back to reality.
When she looked at him, he wore a mischievous smile. Although others did not decipher the meaning behind his
smile, Jonathan saw it vividly. What did Clover plan to do? "Number 95 has raised the bid to 20 million. Do | have
a higher offer?" The auctioneer carried on with the event.
At that point, everyone looked toward Jonathan. He was probably the only one who could bid higher than 20
million dollars. As expected, Jonathan raised his paddle. "30 million." The crowd descended into utter silence.
Without waiting for the auctioneer, Clover followed up with a 40 million dollar bid.
This time, even the experienced auctioneer was astounded by the scene, let alone the audience. She regained
her composure and said, "Number 95 has raised the bid to—" "50 million!" That imposing voice interrupted the
auctioneer.
This round, the crowd was startled and even thought they had misheard his bid. An increase of ten million dollars
each time... Who bid like that?
Despite the baffled crowd, the auctioneer continued, "Mr. Finch... has offered 50 million. Does anyone..." She
deliberately slowed down her words, as though ready to be interjected again. However, there was no interruption
this time. "No other offers?" she inquired again.
All the gazes were directed toward Number 95. Clover continued smiling despite all eyes being on him,
seemingly prepared to increase his bid. However, Emily halted him.
"That's enough, Mr. Xanth. Don't forget. We have a collaboration with Finch Group..." She understood his
intention as soon as he bid.
His goal wasn't the ring onstage, but to provoke Jonathan. He raised his brows. "Fine. He can have it." With an
increment of 40 million dollars, that ought to avenge Rose and give him a lesson!
Emily smiled without saying a word. She knew Clover couldn't stand Rose experiencing even a bit of grievance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"50 million, going once... Going twice... Sold! Congratulations to this gentleman for acquiring Ms. Young's
diamond ring!" The auctioneer hit the hammer, officializing the deal.
The crowd remained silent, as though stunned from the previous bidding. That was 50 million dollars from
Jonathan! Why was he so intent on getting the ring, though? The crowd soon arrived to a conclusion.
It was because of... love!
By then, everybody was confident that Anastasia had auctioned off the ring out of spite after her fallout with
Jonathan, which caused the following event they witnessed earlier. No matter the price, he was intent on
retrieving the ring!
That should be enough to earn Anastasia's forgiveness, right? The crowd turned toward her and distinctly saw
the gentle smile on her face.
"She must be so happy!" they thought.
Well, of course, she was. During the National Jewelry Design Award in Aquastead, Jonathan spent 30 million
dollars purchasing the couple rings Rose designed. This the had spent 50 million in buying hers. Rose had to
be heartbroken by then.
Anastasia looked smugly at Rose, who seemed upset and in a daze.
Even if Rose stopped looking at the ring, its image continually resurfaced in her mind. Countless speculations
arose in her heart, only to be dismissed with her feigned nonchalance.
The way Jonathan bid for the ring with utter determination made her feel extremely upset like a rock was sitting
on her chest.
"Rosie..." Suddenly, Miles held her hand.
Rose turned and met his consoling eyes. Almost instinctively, she forced a smile. "I'm fine, Miles."
But how could she be fine with such a bitter smile on her face? Miles frowned. He knew she cared about the ring
and Jonathan, but she fooled herself to think otherwise. "Rosie, | know him. He's got nothing to do with
Anastasia." Miles was probably the only person who could guarantee that.
"The girl they thought had grown up with Miles isn't Anastasia. Jonathan has no feelings for her at all!" He
eagerly wanted to dismiss all the speculation that could upset her. However, Rose's mind was flooded with that
ring. She smiled at Miles and melancholically withdrew her gaze.
"Mr. Finch has just signed the contract. From now on, this ring belongs to Mr. Finch. Earlier, Ms. Young mentioned
wanting to hand this ring over to him. What do you say, Mr. Finch?" the auctioneer asked.
This was a procedure that none of the previous auction items had. As such, many anticipated to see what was
next and even wanted to cheer.
However, that person was Jonathan... They suppressed their excitement and turned toward him, awaiting his
response.
Under countless gazes, Jonathan
rose from his seat. Most of the audience was excited, but Rose, Miles, Clover, and Emily frowned. Was he really
planning to retrieve the ring from Anastasia?

With a frown, he stopped briefly upon arriving at her row and continued forward. When he went onto the stage, a
wave of applause sounded.
Even Anastasia was surprised by how quickly he constage, saving all her premeditated tricks to lure him
there.
She looked at Jonathan, her heart skipping a beat. Amid the loud applause, she found her bearings and ascended «
the stage with a smile.
