Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 212

Compared to the eldest daughter of the Keaton family, Jennifer's previous performance seemed more like a joke.

"Congratulations to Ms. Keaton for winning this talisman! And thank you for your great generosity, Ms. Keaton!" Mikayla said, clapping in celebration.

The banquet hall instantly erupted in applause.

Willow got up and received the talisman. A hint of delight flashed through her usually calm eyes. She had truly gotten a great deal today!

This talisman wasn't something that could be bought just because one wanted it.

However, she quickly closed the wooden box and turned around, walking toward Daniel.

At this moment, Willow was undoubtedly the center of attention. Every move she made attracted the crowd's focus.

"Mr. Ashcroft, this talisman is more suitable for you." Willow handed the wooden box to Daniel.

What?

Daniel was utterly speechless. The auction item he put up for sale had gone through the bidding process, only to end up back in his hands.

"What do you mean, Ms. Keaton?" Daniel asked helplessly.

"I've already said that I take cooperation very seriously!" Willow reaffirmed her stance.

Daniel shook his head. "This item is too valuable. I can't accept it. And this is not really appropriate, Ms. Keaton."

Willow glanced at the reporters in the distance who were frantically taking photos, then let out a soft laugh. "I have never cared about what others think of me."

With that, she shoved the box into Daniel's hand before tugging the suit draped over her shoulders and striding out of the banquet hall.

"She's so commanding!" Charlene commented with a complicated expression.

"She gave 80 million away just like that. How confident…"

"You're not jealous, are you?" Daniel asked with a smile.

Jennifer gritted her teeth as she watched Daniel drive away, then looked at Zidane with pure disgust. "You're useless!"

"What did you say?" Zidane thought he had misheard her, but he was instantly enraged.

"I said you're useless! You couldn't even take care of something this simple!" Jennifer was equally furious. If Zidane had planned ahead, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Zidane took a deep breath. He knew very well that Jennifer had lost her mind—jealousy had utterly consumed her.

"Fine, it's my fault. But you'd better start thinking about how to handle the ten million you just wasted and how the company will manage its publicity later!" Zidane sneered.

As they were arguing back and forth, Willow's car stopped beside them. "Would you like me to have the car behind mine give you a ride?"

"No need!" Jennifer responded, already seething with hatred toward Willow.

Willow was just here to watch the spectacle. She truly couldn't understand how Jennifer could have been stupid enough to leave Daniel. But now that she'd seen Jennifer up close, she finally understood why.
