Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue


Chapter 67

Jasper's heart belonged to someone else. There were times

when he felt Alice was wasting her life and beauty being with him.

His gaze wandered toward her and finally fell on her slender wrist. Sure enough, she was still wearing the bracelet his grandfather gave her.

Even though it didn't match her outfit today, she couldn't bear to take it off. It was obvious she loved it.

Jasper narrowed his eyes, and his heart was racing.

The Georgian Sky-Blue Porcelain Chalices attracted intense bidding. The auctioneer was overwhelmed!

"One million!"

"Twenty-five million!"

"Twenty-seven million!"

"Forty million."

Jasper elegantly raised his bidding paddle. He constantly called out the highest number in the whole room.

Everyone was taken aback. Alyssa was also surprised and glanced at him inadvertently. This man didn't have a good eye for women, but his taste for antiques was pristine.

Jasper noticed her gaze. His dark and amber eyes swept over, locking with her gaze.

Immediately, he was stung by her cold and intense gaze. His heart began to tighten.

Alyssa averted her gaze and looked away.

In the end, Jasper won the pair of Georgian Sky-Blue Porcelain Chalices. The valuables were now part of his collection.

The crowd was jealous of him.

"In the future, you can serve me wine in these chalices. A forty million cup suits my taste," Landon said with a smile.

"This cup is too small. It's not enough for you to drink. I have a bigger one that suits your status better," Jasper replied coldly.

"What's that?"

"A toilet."

Landon's face turned dark, "Damn it! That's not what I meant!"

Alyssa accidentally overheard them. She turned away to hide her amusement.

Liana was distressed. Jasper spent forty million just to buy a pair of cups.

What on earth was he thinking? Wasn't it better to buy a villa for forty million?

She hadn't even married into the Beckett family yet, but she was already worried about how their money was spent.

"The next item up for auction is of great significance. It's a personal collection of an anonymous gentleman for fifty years. An Antique Rosewood Chair!"

The auctioneer introduced the chair with great enthusiasm. It was placed in a glass display and carefully brought up by four staff members in gloves.

"Here it is!" Landon patted Jasper.

The next moment, he noticed Jasper and Alyssa propped up. Their backs straightened in perfect sync as their movements aligned. They were all poised and determined to win!

"The starting price is thirty million! Bidding begins now!"

Wealthy businessmen and investment bankers raised their bidder numbers one after another, and the auctioneer kept calling out prices. It made the competition intense.

Thirty million was the highest starting price for tonight's items!

Sophia and Betty, the attention-seeking pair, hesitated when they heard the price. The Gardner family had long become spectators. They blend in perfectly with the flower baskets at the back.

At this moment, someone raised their hand elegantly. "Sixty million," the bidder said calmly.

People were shocked, and all eyes turned to Alyssa, who was holding up the bidder number!
