The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 614

This bidding war…

Are they just burning money for fun?

Seeing how things were escalating, Stella leaned in and whispered, “Antoney, stop raising the bid. I only sold that painting for two hundred thousand back then. If they’re crazy enough to pay eight million, let them have it.”

Antoney shook his head, eyes fixed on her. “Star, I’m not backing down so easily this time. And don’t worry about the money—I’ll ask my father for a loan if I need to.”

Stella insisted, “Antoney, this painting just isn’t worth that much.”

At that moment, the auctioneer began the countdown.

“Eight million—any more bids? Eight million, going once…”

Neville, who’d been quiet all along, suddenly raised his paddle.

“Nine million.”

Stella and Abby exchanged startled glances, turning to look at him.

Stella said, “Mr. Connolly, you really don’t have to waste your money on this painting. It’s not worth the price.”

Neville just smiled, the corner of his mouth turning up. “Says who? If you love it, that’s all that matters.”
