Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 655

Chapter 655 

It would be best if you wo briske up today,’ Maltah thought, her eyes glinting with heat as she looked at Matthew. 

Manhew fel a piercing gaze and tried to see Maliah quickly lock away, startled. 

The amphrie was lively, with Valerie and Matthew stealing the spotlight. Everyone marveled at the couple’s extraordinary bond, leaving those who had hoped to marry into wealth or get close to Matthew feeling disappointed. 

Maliah, with her head down and fists clenched, wore a face full of frustration. 

Maliah said. “Valerie, soon you’ll find out what it means to be the nail that stands out!” 

The third item for auction was a pearl necklace, and Valerie’s eyes lit up when the photo appeared. 

From Maliah’s angle, she could see Valerie’s captivated expression as she leaned forward, staring intently. Maliah smirked with satisfaction. 

Opportunity had arrived. 

Valerie thought this was perfect. The pearl necklace seemed ideal, and it had a strangely familiar feel, which she found odd. 

A fleeting image crossed her mind, but she couldn’t quite grasp it. 

But it didn’t matter. She decided to bid on it herself. 

“The necklace is carefully selected, each pearl round and lustrous. The starting price is 400 thousand dollars!” the host said. Valerie raised her card immediately and said, “420 thousand dollars!” 

Maliah, seeing this, couldn’t help but say, “420 thousand dollars plus 20 dollars!” 

She added an extra 20 dollars, which surprised Valerie. She glanced over at Maliah, who was deliberately ignoring her. 

Valerie shook her head, unable to contain her disbelief. 

Maliah was clearly displeased, remembering how Valerie had taken a hairpin from her. Although her father had forcibly removed it, the hairpin had been out of stock for a long time, and she hadn’t been able to buy it. 

She was determined to make Valerie feel the sting of losing something dear to her. She purposefully raised her bid by 20 dollars each time Valerie bid, relentlessly pursuing her. 

Initially, the extra bids seemed insignificant, but after several rounds, the pearl necklace had reached 600 thousand dollars, and she added another 20 dollars. 

“600 thousand dollars plus 20 dollars!” 

It was obvious to everyone that Maliah was deliberately targeting Valerie. 

“Miss Anderson, why bother? Don’t you fear Mr. Grant’s retaliation?” 

Maliah dismissed them with disdain, “It’s just an auction. Matthew is rich, but he wouldn’t hold a grudge. Everyone should compete on their own merits!” 

Valerie looked over. There was only an aisle between them, and Maliah was seated at the outer edge of the semi–circular seating. 

The Anderson family had the clout to sit in the front row. Valerie couldn’t help but say, “Miss Anderson, do you like this

Valerie had to raise his bid again, and Maliah repeated her trick, adding another 20 dollars 

After bidding. Malah provocatively glanced at Valerie. 

Fuming. Valerie was about to retaliate when Matthew suddenly raised his card, “2 million dollars 

Maliah immediately shouted, “2 million dollars plus 20 dollars 

Valerie was shocked to see her follow suit. Although the pearl necklace was of high quality, 2 million dollars was excessively expensive. 

Deciding it wasn’t worth the cost, Valerie chose to withdraw. Matthew smiled, and neither of them bid further. 

Maliah was stunned. Seeing Valerie’s withdrawal, she was dumbfounded, “You… you’re not bidding anymore?” 

Valerie shrugged and said, “If you like it, you can have it.” 

Maliah was left speechless and thought, ‘Over 200 million dollars? How could I afford that?‘ 

She had no such money. She was just trying to get back at Valerie. Frustrated but helpless, she felt enraged but couldn’t do anything about it. 

Applause erupted as Maliah accepted the congratulations for winning the pearl necklace. 

Unable to avoid embarrassment, Maliah forced herself to accept the applause and congratulations with a stiff smile. 

She then retreated to a corner of the venue to call her father. 

Maliah said, “Dad, I need help urgently. Please send me 2 million dollars!” 

Owen said, “What’s going on?” 

Owen jumped up in shock when he heard she needed 2 million dollars. “What on earth do you need 2 million dollars for?” 

Frightened, Maliah explained the situation. Owen was stunned that she had spent so much on such an item. 

“What? You spent 2 million dollars on a pearl necklace? Fine, I got it!” 

“Dad! Please send the money quickly. If I can’t come up with it, I’ll become the laughingstock of the entire event.” 

Owen was enraged. “You idiot, don’t you realize you’ve been played?” 

“I know now, but it’s too late. Everyone is waiting, and if I can’t pay, the Anderson family’s reputation will be ruined! 

“It’s all Valerie and Matthew’s fault. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have been tricked so easily!”
