Chapter 88 In her past life, when faced with Nathanâs favoritism, Isabella had once bitterly confided in him about her grievances: âI am your wife, I also like this Heart Lock, but you gave such a precious thing to my Sis without hesitation. Husband, do you love me?â
What was Nathanâs reply?
He couldnât understand her pain at all. He casually said, âIf your Sis wants it, then let her have it. If you like jewelry, Iâll buy you some more.â
Then, the next day, he bought her a cheap Heart Lock worth only a few thousand.
Isabella closed her eyes. Thinking back to everything from her past life still felt like a knife to her heart. The pain of being dismissed by the one she lovedâshe could never get used to it.
If it had been anything else, Isabella would have let it go. But this Heart Lock was the only clue she had to find her daughter. She would give up everything to get it.
She raised her bidding paddle. âI bid 50.01 million.â
Chapter 88 288 Vouchers Her determination to fight Nathan to the end was evident.
The crowd was stunned. âTheyâre husband and wife! Why is Isabella bidding against Nathan? Isnât he going to give her this Heart Lock anyway?â
Some perceptive people started to catch on. âI fear that if Nathan wins this Heart Lock, it wonât be for his wife.â
âAh? How could this be?â
The crowd murmured in disbelief. âHow could Nathan treat his wife like this?â
Nathan couldnât help but hear the whispers around him. His face darkened, but his resolve to win the auction remained unwavering.
â60 million.â
â60.01 million.â
Isabella decisively raised her bid.
Nathanâs cold eyes locked onto her, and he finally voiced his thoughts, âIsabella, do you have the money to win this?â
Isabella gave him a charming smile. âHusband Iâm at least Chapter 88 288 Vouchers Hill. Iâve never spent your money on luxury goods. Just this once, let me spend a little of your money. You wouldnât mind, would you?â
âAh, Nathan is so stingy with Mrs. Hill, heâs never bought her luxury goods?â A woman gasped, her surprise written all over her face.
Nathan glared at Isabella. Her moral blackmail made him sneer.
âI can give you anything else, but this Heart Lock is not for you,â he finally said, repeating the words from his past life.
Isabella understood that he was determined to compete with her to the end.
She was a rising star in the fashion industry, but her earnings couldnât compare to the vast wealth of the Hill family, a century- old conglomerate. She lacked the financial power to beat him.
Just when Isabella was feeling helpless, a voice suddenly rang out beside her. Theodore slowly raised his paddle. âI bid 100 million.â
The room erupted in murmurs.
âWhat kind of treasure is this? Two big shots are bidding for it?â
Chapter 88 288 Vouchers âWhy would Young Master Sanchez want to buy the âCity of Reincarnationâ? Heâs still young and doesnât have a girlfriend. Whatâs he going to do with this womenâs Heart Lock?â
Theodore didnât care about the gossip. He straightened his back with grace, turned slowly, and his cold eyes locked onto Nathan.
âNathan, are you still going to compete?â
