Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 28

Pretending to be considerate, Amelia shook her head, "Trent, it's not necessary. We've already spent thirty million on the piano earlier. I don't want you to spend more for my sake."

Trent frowned, "Thirty million? What happened?"

Dempsey promptly recounted the incident where Victoria raised the bid. Even now, the memory still made him furious.

After listening, Trent shot a cold look towards the private room on the second floor. This Victoria dared to bully Amelia like this, she was really asking for trouble.

Amelia had done things to her before, things she had to apologize for, but Amelia was still a child. Did Victoria really need to be so petty and bully her like this? Couldn't she be more magnanimous?

Couldn't she show a little more generosity?

Seeing Amelia's distress, Trent gently stroked her hair, "Amelia, don't be sad. The piano earlier was bought for you by Dempsey. I'll buy this necklace for you as a gift."

Tears glistened in Amelia's eyes. She cunningly added fuel to the fire, "I heard Victoria also likes Violet's designed necklaces. Why don't you buy it for her? This way, we might be able to coax her back to the Montgomery family. I really want her to come back."

These words shook the three Montgomerys, Trent, Dempsey, and Lucas to their cores.

How could Amelia still think of Victoria at this time? How could she be so kind and understanding?

Looking at Victoria, what kind of sister had she been?

What aspect of her was comparable to Amelia?

Lucas loved his daughter's sensible demeanor. Amelia wasn't his biological daughter, but where else could he find such a well-behaved girl?

As the head of the Montgomery family, Lucas spoke up, "Alright, Amelia, even if this necklace is for Victoria, does she deserve it? She will only drag down the necklace's class. Trent is managing the Montgomery family's company now. Buying a necklace for you is no big deal. Good girl, just accept it, okay?"

When Lucas spoke, Amelia didn't refuse anymore. She pretended to reluctantly accept, "Then... since dad said so, I'll accept it."

Amelia appeared obedient, but inside, she was secretly delighted.

Not only did she make Trent buy this necklace for her, she also tarnished Victoria's image in the eyes of the Montgomery family members. It was a double victory.

As the auctioneer announced the starting bid for the 'Eternity' necklace, many guests began bidding.

"Twenty-three million!"

"Twenty-five million!"

"Thirty million!"

"Thirty-six million!"

Both men and women were bidding, some women wanting to wear it themselves, some men wanting to give it to their loved ones or family members.

After all, the sapphire necklace was truly exquisite.

Many ladies in the audience were smitten by its beauty.

The auctioneer spared no effort to hype up the atmosphere. "Alright, forty million! Number 40, bids forty million! Is there anyone else interested?"

"Forty-two million!"

"Forty-five million!"

"Fifty million!"

"Fifty-one million!"

Once the bidding surpassed fifty million, the increments became smaller. Initially, people would increase the bid by several million, but now, it was merely one million.

The number of participants in the bidding had decreased significantly. Not every guest had such substantial financial resources.

The auctioneer looked towards the back left side and said, "Now, Number 13, bids fifty-two million! Any interested bidders, please raise your cards!"

"Huh? I didn't know Trent was married. Who is he buying this necklace for?"

"It's probably for his sister."

"His sister?"

"Yes, the heiress of the Montgomery family, Amelia! She's the girl sitting next to Dempsey and Lucas!"

"Come to think of it, I heard that the person who raised the bid earlier, Victoria, is also from the Montgomery family. She's the long-lost daughter they managed to find, right?"

"You might not know this, but although Victoria is the biological daughter, she's not favored. How can she compare to Amelia?"

"That's not right. I've seen Victoria before. Whether in appearance or demeanor, she surpasses Amelia by a considerable margin!"

"There's a saying, 'Love goes where money flows!' The Montgomery family doesn't spend a dime on Victoria. It's obvious they don't value their true heiress."

"So, Amelia is the lucky one. She has parents and a brother who dote on her. I wouldn't be surprised if she inherits the entire Montgomery family fortune in the future."

These discussions were held in hushed tones. Occasionally, Amelia caught a few snippets and felt a surge of vanity. This was the life she deserved, enjoying everyone's admiration.

This was the life she was meant to have, with Victoria beneath her, unworthy even to carry her shoes!

This necklace was already hers. She planned to flaunt it in front of Victoria later!

On the stage, the auctioneer raised the gavel, excitedly inquiring, "Mr. Trent has bid sixty-nine million for this sapphire necklace named 'Eternity'! Is there anyone else willing to bid higher?"

"Since there are no further bids, sixty-nine million once! Sixty-nine million twice! Sixty-nine million..."

At that moment, a dep, magnetic voice emanated from the second-floor private room.

"One hundred million!"
