That was because Justin already had his heart set on someone else.
At times, Justin even felt that Anna was wasting her life by being with him.
It was a waste of her beauty.
Somehow, Justin’s eyes wandered down and finallynded on Be’s slender wrist.
Be was still wearing the jade bracelet that Nigel gave her. Even though it did not match her outfit, she
still did not take it off. It seemed that she really liked it.
Justin narrowed his eyes and heaved a deep breath.
The 18th-century porcin attracted a lot of fierce bidding, which overwhelmed the auctioneer.
“$10 million!”
“$25 million!”
“$27 million!”
“$40 million.”
Justin raised his paddle and called out the highest number in the audience.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Be was startled and turned to look at Justin.
She thought, ‘This jerk doesn’t have good taste in women, but he has an eye for antiques.’
Justin noticed her gaze. He nced to the side and met her eyes.
In an instant, Justin was stung by her overly indifferent and sharp eyes. His heart shriveled.
Be quickly looked away from him.
In the end, Justin sessfully bid for this pair of porcin teacups. He also received envious looks
from everyone.
“From now on, you’ll have to serve me with this cup when Ie over for tea! Only a 40-million- dor
teacup set is suitable for my status!” Ryan beamed at Justin.
“This cup is too small for you. I have arger cup, which is more suitable for your status,” Justin said
nonchntly.
“Oooh, what is it?”
“The toilet bowl.”
Ryan’s face turned glum. “Fuck you! You’re so mean!”
Be overheard their conversation and could not help but chuckle.
Rosalind felt an ache in her chest. She did not know why Justin would spend $40 million on a pair of
stupid teacups. Wouldn’t it be nicer to spend $40 million on a big vi?!
Even before she married Justin, she began to worry about his finances.
“The next auction item is of extraordinary significance. It has been the personal collection of an
anonymous gentleman for the past 50 years. It is a top-quality rosewood chair from the 17th century.”
While the auctioneer enthusiastically introduced the antique rosewood chair, four staff members
wearing white gloves carefully lifted the chair from its protective ss cover.
“Bro, it’s here!” Ryan hurriedly patted Justin.
The next second, Justin and Be seemed to be on high alert. They sat upright in unison, leaving the
backs of their chairs.
They were ready to bid for this prized antique.
“The base price is $30 million! Start bidding now!”
Several wealthy businessmen and investment bankers held up their paddles, and the auctioneer kept
calling out the prices. Thepetition was fierce.
The base price of $30 million was the highest for tonight’s auction.
Shannon and Bethany, who always liked the attention, were daunted by the price.
Jean and Rosalind were reduced to being onlookers for this bid. They were so quiet that they blended
in with the flower arrangements at the back of the hall.
At this moment, a fair and slender hand shot up gracefully. The woman’s red lips parted as she

calmly offered a price.
“$60 million.”
Everyone was shocked and turned their attention to Be, who was holding up her paddle.
