Chapter 88 If You Like It, I’ll Give It to You
Leaning against the railing on the second floor, Olivier could not help but chuckle when he saw that text
message.
He looked down at Gwenda, who looked angry, and his smile grew bigger.
Fingers tapping on the screen, he sent yet another message. "Do you like the "Heart of the Ocean"?"
Gwenda replied, "Never seen it."
Therefore, she could not say if she liked it or not.
Olivier smiled and texted back. "Take a good look at it later. If you like it, I'll get it for you."
Gwenda's eyes flickered with something as she recalled what Justina said. "Nah, I'm good. I have no
interest in snatching things that other people want."
Confusion flashed across Olivier's face upon looking at the latest text on his phone.
Snatching things that other people wanted?
What did she mean?
Deciding not to ask any questions, Olivier pocketed his phone even as his eyes darkened.
At this time, the first item was successfully auctioned.
The following item was the legendary "Heart of the Ocean".
The host's spirits rose and he said, "I believe that everyone present has been looking forward to our
most valuable item, the "Heart of the Ocean". So, without further ado, let's have the staff bring it up."
The staff members brought forth the necklace. Upon seeing it, the guests were instantly stirred up.
"Oh, it's so gorgeous. Even though it's stationary, I feel like it's still sparkling."
"As expected, it truly lives up to its reputation as a relic from a top jewellery designer."
"The design of this necklace is the epitome of perfection."
Not far away, Gretchen was instantly moved when she lay eyes upon the "Heart of the Ocean".
Turning to look at her, Martin saw the excited smile on her face, and the arm around her waist
tightened. He leaned in close and whispered into her ear, "You like it?"
Gretchen nodded shyly. "Yes, it looks pretty."
"Then, I'll personally put it on for you later."
Martin promised her as he gently nibbled at her earlobe.
Gretchen blushed slightly. "Okay."
The bidding began with a base price of one million dollars.

Initially, many people bid for it. But as the price got higher and higher, fewer people did so.
Martin took the opportunity to bid five million dollars at once.
"Mr. Morel bids five million dollars. Is anyone else willing to bid higher than him?"
Onstage, the host shouted excitedly.
Below, the guests traded looks with each other and chose not to bid.
Seeing this, Justina smiled and said to Gretchen, "If you wear this necklace tonight, it will definitely look
good on you."
Gretchen smiled a little and could not helping glancing in the direction where Gwenda was. She
whispered, "I think my sister likes this necklace too."
"Oh, but she would have to be blessed by fate in order to wear it."
Justina snorted coldly with disdain.
Gretchen bit her lip but did not object.
"Is there anyone willing to bid higher than Mr. Morel?"
Right at this moment, the bidding reached its climax.
The host shouted, "Five million, going once!"
"Five million, going twice!"
"Five million, going thri..."
"10 million!"
Someone in the crowd shouted unexpectedly one second before the hammer fell.
All the guests looked over immediately.
"Who? Who made that bid?"
"It seems to be that gentleman over there."
"Who is he?"
Gwenda, who was enjoying the show, also turned to look out of curiosity.
When she saw the bidder, she was stunned.
"I bid 10 million!"
Otto held up his bidder card and smiled at the host.
"Wonderful! This gentleman bids 10 million. Is anyone willing to bid higher than this?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Martin.
