    “480 thousand.”


    Many people were bidding.


    Hadwin raised his paddle. “700 thousand.”


    This statement immediately caused a stir.


    “Wow! He raised it so high right off the bat. It looks like he’s determined to win!”


    “Sigh, it’s one thing topete at 400 thousand, but jumping straight to 700 thousand for a pair of


    ice jade bracelets? I’ll pass. Even if you’re rich, you shouldn’t be so reckless.”


    “In the end, we just don’t have enough money.”


    Hadwin epted the envious or admiring looks from the crowd, raising his chin proudly, his vanity


    greatly satisfied. It was also the most crucial purpose of his bidding for the jade


    bracelets for Trina.

    Trina felt moved. “Hadwin, thank you.”


    As she threw herself into his arms, she nced at Bonnie provocatively.


    Vera and Gresham were also pleased with Hadwin’s performance. They were relieved that Trina


    had risen to prominence after Hadwin broke off his engagement with Bonnie. Otherwise, their family


    would have no one to cling to.


    For a man to bid at seven hundred grand for a pair of ice jade bracelets, the Shepards knew they


    should not mess with him.


    At this moment, Bonnie spoke up. “1.4 million.”


    The entire auction venue instantly fell silent.


    Followed by a loud buzz, everyone began to whisper, their curious gazes turning toward


    Bonnie.


    “Who is that woman? Is she crazy? She just doubled the bid?”


    “You’re the crazy one. Bonnie’s just wealthy. What’s wrong with having a lot of money?”


    Avril’s jaw dropped as she turned to look at Bonnie. “Bonnie, what are you doing? Where


    Chapter 246


    did you get so much money from?” Avril thought of Ivor and frowned.

    Then, she questioned, “You’re not letting Mr. Ivor pay for you, right? Bonnie, I consider you a friend,


    so don’t get angry at what I’m about to say.”


    Bonnie just looked at Avril.


    Avril bit her lip. “Um, I remember you said that you and Mr. Ivor haven’t fully confirmed your


    rtionship yet. Even if you be a couple, it’s best not to rely on men too much for money.


    What if things go south, and he asks you for money?


    “Well, let’s step back a bit. Mr. Ivor has plenty of money and doesn’t care about that little amount.


    But it’s not good for a girl to take money from her boyfriend.”


    After hearing Avril’s words, Bonnie felt deeply touched.


    Only a true friend would say such things. It showed how good the friend she had made


    was.


    Bonnie patted Avril’s hand and smiled. “You’re right. Girls should be financially


    independent and shouldn’t treat men as ATMs. We have hands and feet, and we can earn our own


    money. Besides, who says women are inferior to men? Many men are not as good as women in


    their jobs.”


    “Exactly! Ipletely agree with what you’re saying! It’s just ” Avril frowned, “What about that 1.4


    million?”
