Chapter 111
After all , when Matthias had taken her to the previous banquet and the tech expo , Trevor had ignored her existence from beginning to end .
As she was thinking about this , the auction started . The host took the stage , and the hall quieted down .
Celeste had already gone through the auction catalog in detail . She had her eye on a set of emerald jewelry and an embroidered painting by a renowned artist .
Which one she would actually bid on depended on the situation .
The auction began quickly .
Celeste was focused – if the item wasn’t something she wanted , she didn’t raise her paddle .
Meanwhile , neither Trevor nor Wynn had placed any bids either .
After a while , both Celeste and Lottie noticed that Wynn finally raised her paddle . She was bidding on a diamond bracelet .
It was a piece from a famous international designer , and just from the style , it was clear that the bracelet was meant for young women .
There was no doubt – this bracelet was something Trevor was buying for Wynn .
The starting bid was one and a half million . Wynn raised the paddle and immediately doubled it to three million . Other bidders followed , pushing it up to four million .
At that moment , Celeste noticed Wynn leaning toward Trevor , whispering something . Then , Wynn raised her paddle again and called out clearly in the hall , “ Eight million . ”
As soon as her voice rang out , the auction hall buzzed with commotion .
The bracelet was indeed a beautiful piece , but in terms of actual value , it wasn’t worth eight million . Even four million was already too much .
But Wynn seemed to really love it . And Trevor , being wealthy and extravagant , clearly didn’t want anyone else competing with Wynn – so he directly raised the bid to eight million .
Everyone was shocked – not just at how casually Trevor spent money , but also at how much he pampered Wynn .
It went just as expected . Once the eight million bid was placed , no one else dared to compete . Wynn successfully won the bracelet .
Lottie , green with envy , gritted her teeth . “ This is giving me a toothache . ”
Before Celeste could respond , the next round had already started .
A while later , an antique vase was brought onto the stage .
Wynn raised her paddle again .
The Starting bid was five million .
Other bidders were increasing in increments of half a million or one million . But when it was Wynn’s turn , she directly raised it to ten million .
The number of competitors immediately dropped . However the room was filled with wealthy people .

Soon , a male voice chimed in , “ 15 million . ”
Celeste turned to look . It was a young man with striking features .
“ That’s Jorge Robinson , ” Lottie whispered to her .
Celeste nodded slightly .
Wynn hesitated and turned to look at Trevor ..
From this , both Celeste and Lottie could tell – Wynn really wanted this vase for herself .
It was only then that Celeste suddenly recalled – her paternal grandmother , Erin Nixon , had always been passionate about collecting antiques .
It wasn’t hard to guess that Wynn was bidding on this antique vase for her .
Trevor gave a slight nod , and Wynn raised her paddle again . “ 25 million . ”
Jorge chuckled . “ 30 million . ”
Wynn hesitated further , leaning in closer to Trevor , seemingly saying she wanted to give up .
But Trevor shook his head .
Wynn raised her paddle once more . “ 40 million . ”
Jorge’s voice rang out again . “ 50 million . ” After saying this , he smiled and glanced over to Trevor’s side .
Wynn frowned and whispered to Trevor , “ Maybe … We should just forget it ?”
50 million was simply too much .
