Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59 Would You Consider Letting It Go

Dustin was absolutely convinced that any woman would be over the moon with such a grand surprise.

If Linsey were to discover that Collin had placed a bid on an exquisitely expensive gemstone necklace for her, she would undoubtedly be touched, perhaps even enough to start falling for him.

As Dustin pondered this possibility, his own heart raced with a surge of excitement, mirroring the thrill of a blossoming

romance.

Over the years, while Dustin had navigated through relationships with numerous girlfriends, Collin had remained steadfastly single.

As Collin’s best friend, Dustin felt almost obligated to play cupid in Collin’s quest for love.

Collin had to admit, Dustin’s words made a lot of sense.

After all, Linsey had thoughtfully gifted him clothing, which he had cherished deeply; reciprocating with a thoughtful gift seemed only appropriate.

Resolved, Collin nodded firmly. “Alright, I’ll place my bid on that necklace before I leave tonight.”

The auction progressed, and soon it was time for the gemstone necklace to take center stage, with the bidding starting at a staggering five million dollars.

As the necklace was unveiled, a wave of awe swept through the room, lighting up the faces of many women with eager anticipation. They clutched their bidding paddles with renewed vigor.

“Six million dollars!”

“Eight million dollars!”

“Ten million dollars!”

“Twenty million dollars!”

“Thirty million dollars!”

“Fifty million dollars!”

The bidding frenzy catapulted the price to astronomical heights, electrifying the atmosphere in the venue as fortunes were staked with a simple raise of a paddle.

Suddenly, in the bustling auction hall, a female executive, dressed in a bespoke, shimmering gown, assertively raised her paddle. “One hundred million dollars!” she announced, her voice laced with a mix of amusement and firm resolve. “Everyone, I’ve fallen absolutely in love with this necklace. I would truly appreciate it if you would refrain from challenging this bid. I am determined to make it mine.”

The room fell into a hushed silence as all eyes turned towards her.

There stood Adela Greville, a figure synonymous with wealth and a well–known connoisseur of fine jewelry. Her presence and her audacious bid cast a momentary spell of hesitation across the crowd.

Recognizing her, almost everyone decided against crossing paths with Adela, either out of respect or simply lacking the means to contest such an overwhelming amount.

“One hundred million dollars going once, twice!”

Just as the auctioneer was poised to finalize the sale, a satisfied smile played on Adela’s lips, her confidence peaking as she

anticipated her victory.

The room seemed to collectively assume the necklace would soon adorn her collection.

However, in a thrilling twist, a steady yet authoritative voice broke through the tension from one of the private boxes perched on the second floor.

“One billion dollars.”

In his decades of conducting auctions, never had he seen such a leap–from one hundred million to one billion dollars.

Collin’s voice echoed crisply from the luxurious private box, slicing through the murmur of the crowd. “That’s right, one

billion dollars.”

Murmurs of recognition and astonishment buzzed around.

The founder of CR Corporation was a titan who had dominated the global rich list for years. His financial prowess was legendary.

The auctioneer, a gleam of excitement in his eyes, seized the moment. As the representative of the auction house, he was eager to milk this spectacle for all it was worth–not just for the hefty commission but also for the prestige it would lend

the auction house.

He turned his attention to Adela, whose face was a mask of conflicted emotions.

“Ms. Greville, your admiration for this piece is clear to all present. With the bid now at one billion, what will your next

move be?”

Adela clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. The necklace was the reason she was here, a gem she had longed

to claim as her own.

But one billion dollars? That price was a gulf too wide to cross.

With a mixture of desperation and hope, she cast a pleading look towards Collin’s box. “I’ve been longing for this necklace for quite some time, sir. Would you consider letting it go? I would gladly make it up to you, perhaps with a personal visit to CR Corporation to express my gratitude.”

From the shadows of his box, Collin’s response was a blend of resolve and gentle finality. “I’m afraid not, Ms. Greville. I intend this necklace as a special gift for my wife.”
