Once an infinity bid was made, it became a game of pure financial power, a battle that had to be fought to the bitter end.
Sebastian was rich, not insane.
Besides, upon reflection, he realized he didn’t love Bella enough to engage in such a war for her at an auction.
At the same time, he thought Lillian had completely lost her mind. He hadn’t seen her for a while and didn’t realize her condition was this severe. She’d been kicked out of the Mercer family and still hadn’t learned her lesson. Now she was here at an auction, acting like a lunatic.
An infinity bid?
She had left the Blake family with nothing and had been disowned. What capital did she have to play a game like this? Especially for an item so ridiculously expensive.
He was so glad he had divorced her. Otherwise, with her acting this crazy, he might have been the one left with the bill.
While Sebastian wasrelieved his lack of connection to Lillian, his gaze shifted to Bella with revulsion.
Bella still didn’t quite understand. What Sebastian had just said to her was far too harsh. It was just a set of jewelry. Was she that unworthy? What did he mean, it would bring bad luck?
As the auctioneer was about to call for final bids, Sebastian shot him a death glare.
Bella lowered her voice, which was now softer and more wheedling than before, with a hint of grievance. “Sebastian… we’re getting married. I just want a nice set of jewelry. Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I want something to remember it by. When our children grow up, they can also…”
Before she could finish, Sebastian lost his patience.
He was already annoyed by Bella’s reckless shopping spree at the auction, and now her insatiable greed for a multi-hundred-million-dollar antique was the last straw.
