Chapter 2305


    Originally, it was just a probe. Since Jared understood his intentions, there would be another chance.


    Harvey’s face also darkened as he stared thoughtfully at the ne on the auction stage. A ne


    that represented happiness, would it hold a special meaning if he gave it to Nicole? However, it was


    evident that continuing the bidding would lead to no result.


    “Harvey…” Snow looked at Harvey with aplex expression. She really hoped that he would win the


    ne for her, but ten million… It seemed that Jared was unwilling to let go either.


    Harvey finally nced at Snow and put down his bidder card.


    He did consider bidding for the Heart of the Ocean to give to Nicole, as he wanted himself to be the


    only person to bring Nicole happiness. But Snow’s reminder made him realize that it was not the best


    time.


    The issues at NandoCorp were not fully resolved, and he needed to remain calm.


    Seeing Harvey giving up on bidding, Snow felt disappointed, but she still consoled him maturely, “It’s


    just a ne, and I don’t want it that much.”


    Harvey looked at Snow nomittally. Whether she wanted it or not was none of his business.


    “One-time bid of ten million!” the auctioneer finally dered. “Congrattions, Mr. Han!”


    Others congratted Jared as well. At the same time, they felt relieved. They were worried that this


    bidding war would never end. After all, it was Mr. Johnston, and they knew he would not go home


    empty-handed.


    Subsequently, the stewardess brought the Heart of the Ocean to the small table in front of Jared and


    Nicole.


    “Let me put it on for you,” Jared said gently as he held the ne.


    Nicole epted the ne and kept it back in the box.” Forget it.”


    She had already felt the envious eyes of all thedies in the room. If she wore the ne, she might


    even get hated.


    She was not used to being scrutinized like that and was feeling extremely uneasy. She preferred being


    low-key.


    After putting the ne back into the box, Nicole looked at Jared and said seriously, “Thank you.”


    She understood his intentions. Although a ne could not truly determine someone’s happiness, it


    had good symbolism and represented good wishes and blessings.


    A devilish glint shed in Jared’s eyes as he whispered in Nicole’s ear. “You can thank me in another


    way.”


    Oddly enough, Nicole understood his meaning, and her cheeks flushed. She scolded him yfully.


    “Stop it! We’re at a charity event.”


    “Okay, then let’s go home.” Jared smiled knowingly.


    Nicole’s cheeks grew even warmer. She looked away and nced at the auction stage. ‘This guy really


    is something…’


    The auction continued, and since Nicole and Jared did not participate, it progressed smoothly, and the


    charity auction items were sessfully sold one after another.


    “Next, we have a high-quality jade peace buckle, with a diameter of twenty centimeters. The jade is


    translucent and wless…” As the auctioneer introduced the item, the red cloth covering the jade


    peace buckle was lifted, revealing a pure white jade peace buckle.

    “Wow, it’s really high-quality!” someone eximed.


    “Three hundred thousand dors!”


    “Three hundred and fifty thousand dors.” someone else quickly increased the bid.


    “Fifty thousand.” Nicole raised her bidder card.


    Jared nced at her. “Do you want it?”


    “Since I’m here, I should participate. I’m now representing the Riddle Corporation.” Nicole smiled,


    thinking that if she won, she could take it home and give it to her grandfather.
