At that moment, bidder number 12 stopped bidding, and bidder number 17 continued to raise the price
to 4.8 million dors.
Naomi feigned regret and persuaded, “Malcolm, it’s just a bracelet. It’s not worth more than 4 million
dors. Why don’t we stop bidding?”
Malcolm didn’t seem to hear her. With an aloof expression, he immediately raised the price to 6 million
dors.
At that moment, hushed gasps and whispers sounded from each room. They were all discussing bidder
number one’s generous bids.
Naomi’s back straightened, and she was overjoyed.
On the other hand, Tabitha was hesitating, unsure if she should continue bidding. She did not expect
bidder number one to directly raise the bid to 6 million dors. In the end, she flipped her calling card
number over and chose to give up.
Chadwick looked at her in confusion. “Don’t you like Lone Star’s Tear very much?”
Tabitha smiled faintly. “It’s not easy for Grandpa ric to make money. Even though he loves me, I
can’t splurge money like this.”
However, she wondered which bidder was Colette. ‘Is she number one or number seventeen?‘ she
mused.
Aplicated look swirled in Chadwick’s gaze when he noticed Tabitha’s nonchnt demeanor, as if
she didn’t really care. He felt sorry for her and at the same time upset that she didn’t get what she
wanted.
Tabitha deserved the best things in the world no matter the cost.
“Tabby, when it’s your birthday next year, I will design a bracelet for you

that is prettier than Lone Star’s Tear,” Chadwick promised.
Tabitha was surprised. With a smile, she queried, “You know how to design bracelets too?”
She thought in surprise, ‘He can grow precious jasmines, is knowledgeable, and he can even design
jewelry?
“He’s a rare talent!‘
Chadwick nodded and continued, “I don’t know why, but when I see these jewelry, a lot of rted things
automatically pop up in my mind. There’s a good chance that I was working a job in this line before I
lost my
memory.”
Tabitha nodded happily. It was a good thing that Chadwick knew so much.
Lone Star’s Tear was ultimately acquired by bidder number one.
The next item for auction was aparatively ordinary ne with a starting price of 600 thousand
dors. Tabitha bought the ne for 1 million dors and decided to wear it to attend the g.
After the auction ended, there were appointed staff who brought the bidder’s jewelry to their respective
rooms toplete the handover procedure.
Tabitha took the bracelet box and left with Chadwick.
Outside the gate of the venue, they coincidentally bumped into Malcolm. Naomi was holding onto his
arm affectionately.
Tabitha’s gentle expression instantly became icy cold.
The look on Malcolm’s face wasn’t pleasant either when he once again. witnessed how fast Tabitha’s
expression changed when she saw him.
Both parties were waiting for their respective drivers. The atmosphere was

tense as they reached a stalemate. Neither of them took the initiative to greet one another.
Tabitha caught a glimpse of the brocade box in Malcolm’s hand and was surprised to see it was the box
containing Lone Star’s Tear.
It turned out that bidder number one, the extravagant spender, was Malcolm.
He never attended such asions, but surprisingly enough, he even brought Naomi here in person. It
was pretty obvious Lone Star’s Tear was for Naomi.
Tabitha remembered that day when she and ric flipped through the brochure. They were discussing
Lone Star’s Tear and Malcolm was clearly standing there watching.
He must havepeted over Lone Star’s Tear with her on purpose.
Although Tabitha didn’t mind the way he treated her, her heart couldn’t help but clench. It felt as though
someone had grazed her heart with a dagger.
It didn’t hurt that much but the sharp pain lingered.
Looking at Tabitha’s sickly pallor, Naomi put on a tender smile, exuding the aura of a winner. “What a
coincidence, Ms. Jarvis. Oh dear, you’re in poor health but you still chose to attend the auction in
person. Did you have your eyes on any beautiful jewelry? Did you get it?”
Tabitha knew that Naomi was provoking and challenging her on purpose. She could conjure up a
hundred ways to embarrass Naomi right then and there.
However, she didn’t want Chadwick to be targeted by Malcolm because of her again likest time.

Just then, Tabitha’s driver drove the car over.
She smiled and told Chadwick, “Thank you foring with me today.”
Chadwick smiled gently. “It’s my pleasure.”
After they said goodbye to each other, Tabitha got in the car right away. She left without sparing
Malcolm and Naomi a look.
Naomi felt awkward and humiliated when she didn’t receive any reaction. Resentment filled her heart,
but she dared not lose her temper in front of Malcolm.
Malcolm frowned slightly.
Tabitha seemed to havepletely changed. Previously, she would get hysterical and aftershing
out, she always got hurt. She would appear like a pet abandoned pet by its owner; vulnerable and
helpless.
Tabitha’s cold and indifferent demeanor now was so strange.
Malcolm’s gaze lingered on Tabitha for too long. Naomi grabbed onto his arm tightly and whispered,
“Malcolm, I’m a little cold.”
There was a heater in the venue, so no matter how scantily one dressed, one would still feel warm and
toasty.
However, it was windy and cold outside. Naomi only stood outside for a while before her lips started
slowly turning blue from the cold.
Just then, their car arrived. Expressionlessly, Malcolm’said, “Get in the car.”
There was a heater in the car.
Naomi was a little disappointed. She had thought that Malcolm would take off his coat and put it on her.
After sending Naomi home, Malcolm took out a few brocade boxes which

contained a few pieces of jewelry that he bid on a bitter in the auction.
There were bracelets, earrings, brooches, and rings.
“Pick one. You can wear it for the g a few dayster,” he offered.
Naomi swept her nce over the jewelry and didn’t find Lone Star’s Tear.
‘Isn’t Lone Star’s Tear for me? If it’s not for me, then who is it for after he’d spent a fortune getting it?
For Tabitha?‘ That possibility was too overwhelming for Naomi. She almost failed to keep her cool.
