My Secret Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2208: Chapter 2202: Is He Pursuing Rebecca Kelloway?

Under the glare of the bright lights, the dazzling glow of each gemstone was almost blinding.

"Wow, it’s so beautiful!"

"So pretty!"

A group of women at the venue were amazed by this set of jewelry, exclaiming in admiration.

Joanna Lawrence stared at the stage and couldn’t help but say, "It is indeed beautiful. No wonder it was Queen Elena’s favorite set of jewelry."

Upon hearing this, Yannick Luther turned his head and gave Ashton Heath a meaningful look. noveldrama

Ashton glanced at the stage and, without revealing any emotion, leaned down and whispered in Joanna’s ear, "Do you like this set of jewelry?"

He was leaning so close that Joanna’s ear felt ticklish.

She looked up and casually replied, "Mhm, I like it."

Which girl wouldn’t like shiny things like this?

Moreover, this set of jewelry had already been around for several centuries, and yet its luster and purity remained so good.

"Okay."

Ashton only said this before picking up the auction paddle, ready to bid on the jewelry.

"Wait!" Joanna suddenly realized and grabbed his hand. "Ashton Heath, what are you doing?"

Ashton looked at her: "Buying this set of jewelry for you."

Joanna: "!!!"

She didn’t say she wanted it.

Was it just because she said she liked it a moment ago that he decided to buy it for her?

She truly liked it.

But she never thought about having him buy it for her.

While the jewelry set was beautiful, it wasn’t suitable for daily wear. Buying it would most likely mean it would just sit in their home as a collector’s item.

The starting bid was ten million dollars.

Who knew how much the final price would be.

Joanna felt that spending so much money just to have it as a collector’s item was completely unnecessary.

Even though she knew her husband was very rich.

"Why would you buy it for me? I didn’t ask for it."

"Didn’t you say you liked it?"

"Yes, I like it. But it doesn’t mean I need to own it."

"If you like it, then we should buy it."

"I just think it’s a beautiful set of jewelry. Don’t buy it for me. I won’t wear it anyway. It’s a waste of money."

Joanna attempted to snatch the auction paddle from Ashton’s hand.

At this moment, however, a man’s voice from behind them rang out, "Eleven million, five hundred thousand dollars."

The voice was very close.

Joanna turned her head and saw a man sitting a row behind them, bidding with his paddle.

Then, she saw Rebecca Kelloway.

Rebecca Kelloway was sitting next to the man.

Joanna heard Rebecca ask the man, "Manager Joshua Ranson, are you interested in this set of jewelry? Are you planning to buy it for someone special?"

The man turned his head, looking tenderly at her, "Ms. Kelloway, didn’t you say you liked this set of jewelry? All I’m doing is trying to make you smile."

"Manager Ranson, are you...for me?"

"As long as Ms. Kelloway likes it, I’ll buy it for you. Besides, I think there’s no one more suitable to own this set of jewelry than Ms. Kelloway."

Those around them heard their conversation and envious voices began to emerge.

"Who is that man? Is he pursuing Rebecca? He’s certainly very generous."

"Don’t you know? That’s the young master of Sheldon Group. Sheldon Group has been developing quite well in recent years, so they have plenty of money. Although this young master isn’t as good-looking and rich as Ashton Heath, he’s still quite impressive. If he’s courting Rebecca, he would actually make a great match."
