Chapter 480 The Auction Showdown

Chandler felt unaccountably agitated when Rachel mentioned Meryl’s affair.

No man could tolerate his wife entangled with another man. Seeing Meryl with Dalton just now, he indeed felt uneasy.

His eyes were deep and piercing as he stared through the crowd at the front row.

Meryl was no longer looking at him.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Meryl raised her paddle and bid for the third time. “Ninety million!”

The bracelet was worth fifty million dollars, and Anne’s budget was eighty million. She was prepared to make up the extra ten million herself.

Meryl was not competitive by nature. She rarely fought so openly for an item.

Chandler watched her, thinking, “Does she like this bracelet?”

Hearing Meryl’s ninety million, Rachel continued to bid. “Ninety-one million.”

The bracelet had reached such a sky-high price that it attracted everyone’s attention.

However, as the bidding continued, people began to sense a rivalry. They started to watch the drama unfold, speculating who would end up with the bracelet.

The atmosphere solidified for a few seconds.

Chandler’s words were tinged with displeasure. “She’s my woman. Who are you to punish her? If there’s punishment, that’s between her and me. What does it have to do with you?”

Rachel was taken aback, not expecting him to say such a thing.

He was defending Meryl.

Rachel couldn’t understand why he was so protective of a wife who had cheated on him.

He must have been bewitched!

Chandler instinctively reached into his pocket for his cigarette case but remembered that this was an auction house, a no-smoking zone.

Leaning back in his chair, he suddenly felt impatient. “Rachel, you’ve overstepped!”

Rachel was not ready to give up. “I just like the bracelet. Can’t I buy it?”

The auctioneer had started the bidding.

Chandler said indifferently, “Of course, you can.

Chapter 480 The Auction Showdown” However,” Chandler shifted his gaze from her face.

His voice was cold, not a tone for negotiation. “I can sponsor your education, but I won’t let you squander my money on luxury goods, not even as a loan.”

His implication was clear. He wouldn’t pay for the necklace for her.

Rachel found her face blushing instantly, even a bit hot.

That put her in an awkward position.

Rachel emphasized, “But I’ve already won it! With so many people watching, if I can’t pay… Are you trying to embarrass me?”

Just thinking about it made Rachel cringe.

She was sure Chandler wouldn’t do that to her. After all, their relationship was special.

The auctioneer was about to strike the final bid.

Chandler narrowed his eyes, looking at the cabinet in front.

The emerald bracelet glowed softly under the spotlight. It was indeed something a girl would like.

Chandler crossed his arms over his chest, his voice sounding lazy. “I hand over my salary to my wife. The money is with her. If you want to borrow, ask her.”

Rachel was stunned and looked at Meryl unconsciously.

She was competing with Meryl for a bracelet and ended up having to borrow money from Meryl. It would be a joke on herself!

Rachel was speechless, a sense of helplessness rising in her heart.

But Chandler said his salary was all handed over to Meryl!

What right did Meryl have to control his finances?

Rachel was very resentful.

At the moment the auctioneer was about to strike the final bid, Chandler suddenly raised his paddle.

“One hundred million.”

In an instant, the whole venue was in an uproar.
