Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 659

However, the final item in the auction catalog was a mystery. There was no picture or description, only a symbol indicating it was a surprise. The grand finale, it seemed, would only be revealed at the very end.

After Lillian shook her head, Leonard gave a slight nod to Ethan.

Upon receiving the signal, the man beside Ethan lowered his paddle and did not bid again.

The auctioneer’s hammer fell, and Bella was overjoyed.

See? In the end, it still came to her.

*Hmph. Trying to compete with me?* she thought.

Today, she and Sebastian were in seats three and four. With seats one and two empty, they were effectively the most powerful people in the room.

Bella savored the unprecedented thrill of it all.

Only then did she turn to share her excitement with Sebastian.

“Sebastian, we got it!”

His expression, however, was flat. “Mm,” he grunted noncommittally.

Since the item was already won, Sebastian forced himself to add, “As long as you like it.”

He figured that since she had already spent so much on this complete set, she would probably be done shopping for herself and move on to buying something for him.

After all, she had already bought a diamond set earlier, saying it would be perfect for her wedding dress.

That one wasn't too expensive, just over ten million, so Sebastian hadn't objected.

But hearing Sebastian’s words, “As long as you like it,” Bella’s confidence swelled.

*As long as I like it?*
