After a moment of hesitation, Jordyn decided to cancel her ns with the waiter.
Reba was right-there would be plenty of chances to deal with Nter. There was no need to act hastily without confidence in her sess. Let N stay arrogant a little longer!
Back at the event, the auction was already underway.
The current item up for bid was a pink diamond ne. The main diamond was heart-shaped, surrounded by 99 smaller diamonds that sparkled like stars around the moon. It was breathtaking, and Jordyn''s attention was instantly captivated. "rk, this ne is stunning. I want it. Can you bid on it for me?" she asked.
rk didn''t respond, but his gaze remained fixed on the ne. He imagined how beautiful it would look on N''s neck. During his business trips, he often bought her nes, as her corbones were so elegant that any jewelry seemed to enhance her beauty. The bidding for the ne soon began.
When rk didn''t answer her, Jordyn frowned and was about to repeat her request. Just then, rk raised his bidding paddle. "50,000 dors!"
Jordyn''s eyes sparkled with delight. Even though rk hadn''t spoken, she believed his actions meant he still had feelings for her.
As soon as rk lowered his paddle, Damon, seated in the front row, raised his own.
"100,000 dors!"
rk''s displeasure was evident. He felt that Damon was deliberately trying to outbid him.
"150,000 dors!"
"200,000 dors!"
"300,000 dors!"
At first, others joined in the bidding war between rk and Damon, but eventually, they backed out. The ne, while undeniably beautiful, was worth at most 300,000 dors. Anything higher seemed
unreasonable.
"4,000,000 dors!"
"5,000,000 dors!"

When Damon raised the price to 5,000,000 dors, rk''s grip on his paddle tightened, his knuckles turning white. His eyes were filled with frustration. Not only was unable to keep N, but he also couldn''t win the ne against Damon.
Jordyn looked at rk with a touched expression, surprised that he waspeting with Damon for the ne on her behalf. However, the price had clearly exceeded the ne''s worth. "rk, the ne isn''t worth this much. If we spend that much money on it, it''s not worth it," she said gently, holding his hand to stop him from raising his paddle.
rk''s face remained tense. He didn''t speak, nor did he raise his paddle again.
In the end, Damon won the ne with a bid of 5,000,000 dors.
The women around them looked at Reba with envious eyes. After all, she had only mentioned liking the ne, and Damon had spent 5,000,000 dors on it.
"I used to doubt that Damon truly loved Reba, but now I really believe it. Before this ne, he had already bid on several pieces of jewelry. Adding this one, it must be worth several million!"
"I''m so envious of Reba. I wish I had a boyfriend like Damon."
"Damon is really willing to spend money on her. He''ll probably keep buying more for her. Is she here just to shop for jewelry?"
As Reba listened to the murmurs around her and felt the envious nces from others, her smile widened, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.
She turned to Damon, who appeared cold and aloof under the light. This made him more irresistible.
"Damon, don''t bid on any more jewelry. I can''t wear that much," she said.
