Falling For My Mysterious Wife By Cassidy Alfaro Free Chapter 23


    Chapter 23


    Marie grew worried when noticing the change in Jalen.


    ina ignored Jalen and Marie and whispered to Theodore, “I wonder when the item I sponsored will


    be


    auctioned.”


    She was quite curious about the final price.


    “It’s still early. Mr. Dorthea’s new works haven’t been avable in the market for so many years. Your


    painting must be the final auction item,” Theodore replied.


    But he immediately shook his head and asked, “Are you sure it’s okay to donate his painting just like


    this?”


    “He is my master and won’t say anything about it.” ina curled her lips with no worry and added,


    “Besides, he gave me that painting, so I have the right to decide what it’ll be used for.”


    “That’s true. You are hisst student. I don’t think he will me you.”


    “Of course, he’s very kind to me.”


    They spoke in a low voice, so Jalen, who was sitting at the side, could not hear what they said. He


    could only see them talking andughing, feeling enraged for no reason.


    He thought, you just want to be her brother?


    I don’t believe it!


    As a man, he could see the affection in Theodore’s eyes and didn’t believe that Theodore only


    considered ina his sister.


    Soon, the auction began, and everyone became quiet.


    The first item was a diamond ne sponsored by a rich man. When the host on stage mentioned


    his name, he even stood up and waved at everyone.


    Theodore asked ina if she was interested. ina shook her head. She was never interested in a


    diamond.


    She didn’t like it, but Marie was very excited. Her eyes lit up when she saw such a big diamond.


    Jalen asked, “Do you like it?”


    “Yes.” Marie nodded and quickly added, “But I can just take a look.”


    She was being hypocritical. If she just wanted to take a look, she didn’t have to tell Jalen that she liked


    it.


    Jalen bid and got it as expected. He did not look at the ne and directly gave it to Marie. This


    made many people at the scene suspicious of the true rtionship between them.


    Those people wondered, is she really just his sister? I don’t believe it.


    The auction continued. ina was not interested in the next few items, feeling bored and sleepy.


    “The next item is a pair of emerald earrings. The starting price is 800 thousand dors.” Chapter 23

    As soon as the host finished speaking, someone immediately bid. It could be seen that many people


    liked


    this pair of earrings.


    When ina saw the earrings, her eyes instantly lit up. She also liked the earrings and was suddenly in


    high


    spirits.


    Theodore noticed this change and raised the sign without hesitation. “1.5 million dors!”


    “Theodore…” ina looked at him.


    “If you like, then let’s buy them. I have enough money, don’t worry.” Theodore was determined to buy


    the


    earrings for ina because there was finally an item she liked.


    Hearing this, ina smiled and did not say anything else. She didn’t have to stand on ceremony in


    front of


    him. “Thank you, Theodore.”


    Hearing Theodore’s price, many people stopped bidding. The earrings were good, but they thought


    they were


    not worth more than 1.5 million dors.


    “1.5 million dors, going once!”


    “Going twice!”


    “Going…”


    “3 million dors!”


    Jalen bid. Everyone was surprised to find that he would bid against Theodore.


    ina looked at Jalen beside her and frowned slightly, wondering if he was against her deliberately or


    if


    Marie also liked this pair of earrings.


    “Mr. Halton, you’re trying to get what I want.” Theodore had a faint smile on his face, knowing that Jalen


    was


    deliberately going against him.


    “The person who offers a higher price gets it. I think you should be clear about this.” Jalen meant that if


    Theodore didn’t have enough money, he’d better give up as soon as possible.


    Theodore sneered and raised his bidding sign again. “5 million dors!”


    “6 million dors,” Jalen said calmly.


    “8 million dors!”


    “10 million dors.”


    Theodore still wanted to bid, but ina stopped him. “Forget it. Although the earrings are good, it is not


    worth that price.”


    The final price was 10 million dors…


    Everyone thought Jalen was being stupid.

    ina did not want Theodore to be a fool. As for Jalen, he was rich and willful, so she could say


    nothing.
