Soon enough, the brooch was sent to Emilia.
Emilia's body shook with excitement as she held the brooch in her hands.
She did not expect that Mr. Limbaugh would really buy her the brooch just because she said she NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
wanted it.
Could Mr. Limbaugh have fallen in love with her? Was this... love at first sight?
Emilia felt blessed thinking about this.
"Mr. Limbaugh, thank you." Emilia played with her hair as she looked at Charleston bashfully.
There was an indescribable look on Charleston's face, but he still responded, "You're welcome."
Margaret, who had been listening in on their conversation, suddenly felt that the tomato in her mouth
was tasteless.
She immediately spat it into the trash can next to her.
Charleston immediately asked, voice clear with concern, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
"I'm okay, just a little disgusted." Margaret wiped her mouth with a napkin.
Charleston was surprised at her honesty. With a wicked smile on his face, he started teasing her. "Are
you jealous?" He asked.
"Feeling disgusted doesn't equate to being jealous." Margaret said, rolling her eyes at him.
"But jealousy can make you feel disgusted, you dummy!" Charleston touched the tip of her nose with
his finger.
He then gently rested his chin on her shoulder.
The two of them instantly looked closer and more intimate with one another.
Emilia's nostrils flared up in jealousy. She tightened her grip on the brooch and comforted herself in her
heart.
She told herself that Margaret was the one seducing Mr. Limbaugh but she was the person he actually
loved. It was just not appropriate for him to get rid of Margaret right away, that was why he was only
temporarily tolerating Margaret.
When the cruise party was over, Mr. Limbaugh would definitely get rid of this b*tch.
Then he would personally approach Emilia.
And she would be walking by his side, wearing the brooch gifted to her by him. They would make such
a perfect match!
Emilia had already come up with the entire plot of a romance drama in her vividly imaginative mind.
What her inventive mind didn't piece together was why Charleston would force himself to tolerate
Margaret if he didn't love her at all.
He was a great man of high status; it was unnecessary for him to be forcing himself like this.
Thus, if he were to actually tolerate and dote on a person like this, it meant that he was wholeheartedly
willing to do so.
"Alright. The next item is the last piece of our collection. I present to you - the Starry Dress!"
A picture of the Starry Dress was revealed for all to see.
The dress boasted a combination of different shades of blue. The top of the dress started off with black.
Then, as it got lower, its gradient turned blue-black and navy blue before reaching a dark blue shade at
the hem of the skirt which stayed as it is, marking the end of the artistic gradient.
The dark blue part of the dress was decorated with multitudes of tiny diamonds. Though it looked a
mess, there was order within the chaos.
These tiny diamonds were made from large, valuable diamonds.
The dress was so gorgeous that everyone could not keep their dazzled eyes off it.
Even Margaret sighed uncontrollably at the beauty.
The dress was truly stunning.
"Do you like it?" Charleston asked in a low voice.
Margaret pressed her lips tightly together and did not speak.
"Do you like it?" Charleston turned and asked Emilia.
"Yes. Of course, I like it. How could a woman not like such a beautiful dress?" Emilia quickly answered
him, her face already a crimson blush.
Mr. Limbaugh had asked her again whether she liked the item. Was he going to gift it to her again?
Emilia's heart fluttered with joy.
"Okay." Charleston nodded and looked down at Margaret who was in his arms.
If other women liked it, did that mean that his little one would like it too?
Although Margaret did not speak, Charleston could see her eyes beaming when she looked at the
Starry Dress.
"Not bad. Finally, there's something this woman likes," Charleston thought to himself.
As soon as the Starry Dress came to light, it had caught most of the women's attention.
The bid for the Starry Dress started at three million dollars, and the biddings only came to a gradual
slow at nine million dollars.
Everyone thought for sure that the Starry Dress was going to be sold for nine million dollars.
All of a sudden, a deep and strong voice sounded from the private room on the second floor.
"13. 14 million!"
