Chapter 1178


    In a second, multiple thoughts rushed through Lte’s mind. Eric clearly spotted the change in her


    expression and cast a different look at Jenny.


    The auction started. Someone bid for the ruby pendant, but not for much. There was no reason to keep


    the pendant in the auction since Jenny had intended to look for Lte with the pendant, but Lte


    was right there in front of her. So, she decided to take back the ruby pendant by bidding for it.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Five million.” Jenny raised her auction paddle. The people around her understood her intention and let


    her have her way. They did not want to get on the wrong side of a Bardoff City family.


    Just when Jenny was expecting to retrieve the ruby pendant, Eric raised his auction paddle from the


    front row. “Ten million.”


    There was a collective gasp because no one had expected Eric to express interest in the pendant. He


    spun around and looked at Jenny. “I’m sorry, Miss Walter. My wife loves the ruby pendant.”


    “Is that so? That’s an honor, but it’s an item that my mom left behind for me. If possible, I’d like to have


    it back.” With that, she raised her paddle and pushed the bid up to 15 million dors. By saying that,


    she informed Eric of her identity. She knew he was not dumb, and he would figure out her identity by


    now.


    Before this, she had doubts about the ims of a bad rtionship between Lte and Eric. By now,


    she was confident that there were no feelings of love between the two. Lte feared Eric, and he was


    driven by a sickly urge to possess her. She decided that she’d bring Lte with her.


    “20 million.” Eric engaged in a battle with her. She smiled and offered 30 million, but he doggedly outbid


    her.


    Feeling defeated, she said to Eric, “Mr. Dafoe, why don’t you offer 100 million dors if you can afford


    it? I’ll give up if you do so. Otherwise, keeping up this bidding war is a waste of time.” She made it


    clear-if Eric could not afford to offer 100 million dors, he shouldn’t waste his time bidding because


    she was more than capable of offering that figure.


    “If so, I shall grant your wish.” He scoffed and lifted his paddle. “100 million! 11


    Everyone gasped again. No one had expected the unassuming ruby pendant to be the item that was


    auctioned highest price in this event. More than that, they were curious about Eric’s feelings for


    Lte.


    Rumors had it that the couple were not close. Someone even imed that Eric physically abused her


    at home. But if the couple were on bad terms, why would Eric spend 100 million dors on an item


    Lte loved?


    Lte had no idea what was going on in the mind of others. If she knew, she would scoff and spit on


    their rosy take. Others might not understand Eric’s motive, but she knew he was doing everything out


    of his urge to possess her.


    Eric knew about Jenny’s identity, and he naturally noticed Graham, who was right beside Jenny. Of


    course, he would not admit defeat in front of his wife’s ex-lover.


    Lte and Graham exchanged nces. Thest time they looked at each other was decades ago.


    They were no longer a young man and youngdy, but they confirmed their feelings for each other after


    the look. Falling for each other again after many years-that was the definition of true love.


    “Congrattions, Mr. Dafoe! The ruby pendant is yours.” Jenny gave up on the bidding war. “I’ve long


    heard that the wealth of the Dafoes from Bayside City could rival that of a nation’s riches. The rumors


    are true!”


    She had poured over the information sent by Zack, from which she learned the prowess of the Dafoes.


    But she was not going to back down.
