Chapter 17 I Will Give You the Best
Looking him in the eyes, Vivian panicked a little.
'Knock knock', there was a knock on the door. Zack walked in with an apology, "Mr. Luke, it's starting."
"OK." Jonathan nodded and naturally pulled Vivian over to sit down on the couch.
It was a separate auction private room, and only the most distinguished guests were allowed in. Opposite the couch was a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, from which they could see the auction room below.
Jonathan put his arm around Vivian's shoulders and hugged her into his arms, "I'll buy you anything you like."
"..." Vivian tried to say something, but she could say nothing and her heart beat faster. She didn't want anything, but a girl always felt different when she heard a man say that.
A piece of jewelry was being displayed in the downstairs showroom. The jewelry launch event was naturally to enhance the brand's image.
In the lobby, Valerie had her arm around Hudson's and was smiling coquettishly, "Make sure you get the one you promised me!"
"Don't worry." Hudson squeezed her cheek, "It is so easy, so how can you not get what you want?"
On the stage, the emcee held the exhibit with a smiling face to the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a cat's eye stone necklace. The design is beautiful and suitable for young oriental women. It is the work of the famous jewelry designer Amos, and there is only one piece available. The starting price is 100,000 and the default is 10,000 once."
As soon as her words ended, someone held up a sign.
"This gentleman, 110,000."
Valerie quickly pushed Hudson, "Quick!"
Hudson smiled and held up the sign. The emcee immediately turned around, "Thank you, sir, 120,000."
...
Vivian had a clear view of the private room upstairs. She sat up straight. In all the years she had lived with the Attlee's, even though she was Hudson's fiancee, Hudson had never spent a penny more for her than her father's convalescence and her tuition and living expenses!
But now she discovered that Hudson also paid money for a woman to buy a limited edition first-launch piece of jewelry!
She was very sad.
Jonathan frowned and looked at her without moving.
Vivian wanted to say something but still looked at Hudson. She said slowly, "Can you buy me that?"
"Yes?" Jonathan slowly narrowed his eyes, "A cat's eye stone necklace. It's cheap...don't save me any money. There are better ones."
"I want this!" Vivian suddenly turned her head and looked at him and roared.
After she finished yelling, she regretted it. She didn't know why she'd had the nerve to yell at Jonathan.
Jonathan was silent for a moment, not saying yes or no but beckoning for Zack, "Zack."
"Yes, Mr. Luke."
Zack bent down and Jonathan whispered in his ear, "Yes, Mr. Luke. Don't worry. I understand."
"..." Vivian sniffed and snorted, "You won't buy it for me?"
Jonathan curled his lips and said softly, "I'll buy you something better."
"I don't want better things! I want this! Forget it if you don't buy it for me!" Vivian stood up immediately to leave.
But she was held back by Jonathan. She fell into his arms.
His cold eyes had an innate power that was irresistible.
Jonathan curled his thin lips and ordered, "Listen! I can spoil you, but you can't think about any man other than me!"
"I didn't..." Vivian retorted instinctively, but immediately froze...what was she doing? Because Hudson bought Valerie jewelry and she lost her mind? Did she still care about that until today?
She was so...stupid.
But looking at Jonathan's attitude, Vivian wondered, "You know about my relationship with Hudson? You investigated me?"
Jonathan ignored her question. He lifted his jaw and pointed downstairs to the showroom, "Look, the price has been raised to 330,000. A bunch of cheap cat's eye stones. Stupid."
In the showroom, Hudson was breaking out in a cold sweat. He hadn't expected the price of an ordinary cat's eye stone necklace to soar this high!
"370,000!"
"380,000!"
"Hudson, what are you doing?" Valerie glared at Hudson in discontent.
Hudson wiped cold sweat and held up the sign again in a guilty manner, "400,000!"
He had to do this because his project was still in the hands of Valerie's father!
The emcee was smiling very happily, "400,000 once, 400,000 twice, 400,000 three times, deal! Thank the gentleman!"
Here was the deal...
Hudson was muttering to himself that he didn't have enough money!
Outside the showroom, Zack curled his lips and smiled, turned around, and went back to the private room. How could this stupid kid Hudson be Mr. Luke's opponent? He made no effort to secretly let someone raise the price and later on there will be a good show...
The valuable exhibits were displayed after that. The grand finale was a set of ruby jewelry that was superb in quality and design.
As soon as it appeared, Jonathan raised his hand, "Zack."
"Yes, Mr. Luke. I understand." Zack walked up to the glass wall and pressed on the private display for the first time.
The ruby jewelry started at 80 million.
Zack had just finished this and the emcee sounded excited, "Thank you, Mr. Luke of Durban. 90 million!"
"..." Stammered Vivian, who was startled to look at Jonathan. "You, you...didn't buy it for me, did you?"
Jonathan smiled lightly, "I told you I wanted to give you the best."
"But..." Vivian felt her tongue was tied up, "I, I..."
Because once Jonathan made his bid, no one downstairs even dared to follow up. One 'uninformed' person held up a sign, "Thank you, this gentleman, 100 million!"
Jonathan frowned slightly and squinted.
Zack bid again, "Thank you, Mr. Luke of Durban, 110 million!"
It was obvious to everyone that Mr. Luke was determined to win! How could anyone still dare to try? It was bad luck for the people who caused Mr. Luke to spend more money.
The emcee raised the hammer, "... 110 million three times. Congratulations, Mr. Luke!"
Jonathan looked at Vivian calmly, "It's yours."
"..." Vivian didn't know what to say. Because this felt so unreal!
She scrambled to get out, "I have work to do, and I'm here with my colleagues from the website. I can't stay here any longer."
Jonathan also had business to take care of so he didn't stop her, "Come with me when you're done."
"..." Vivian was distraught and rushed out of the private room.
Back at the front of the bulletin board, Vivian was accused by her colleagues. Luckily the exhibition process was fine and she returned just in time to start working.
"Where have you been? Do you think you're something when you take off without permission?"
Vivian kept her head down and said nothing. She kept thinking now of Jonathan's obviously inexpressive but arrogantly handsome face!
Her colleagues were also talking about him.
"I just saw how handsome Mr. Luke is!"
"Yeah, over a hundred million yuan in jewelry. I wonder which woman enjoys the blessing!"
Vivian exclaimed that they had been so obsessed even if they had never seen Jonathan. Not to mention that she...had slept with him!
