Chapter 16
The auctioneer’s mortgage could finally be paid off.
And he would be able to afford the limited edition bag for his girlfriend that she had long wanted.
Although it was not appropriate to make a sound at this time, the auctioneer still called out in a low voice, “G0 million dollars once..60 million dollars
twice…”
Jonas was furious. He stared at Leonardo coldly and sald, “Mr. Brooks, you really love Ms. York, do you? You know what? 111 offer..”
Before Jonas could finish his words, Rosalind grabbed him and snapped, “Are you a fool? GD million collars for a necklace? Are you out of your mind?”

Suddenly, Jonas was confused by Rosalind’s words and stopped speaking.
It was beyond Jonas‘ expectation that Rosalind, who had been cold to him, would suddenly stold him.
Jonas wondered if he had heard it wrong.
He was surprised by Rosalind’s words!
Rosalind didn’t know why she suddenly lost her temperat Jonas.
She thought, “Am I jealous because Leonardo is willing to spend 60 million dollars on a necklace for Virginia?
I can’t think that way!”
Rosalind sighed and put on a light smile.
She continued, “Forget it. You can buy whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me anyway!”
Jonas obviously fel: Rosalind’s emotional change and had a lot of guesses in his mind.
He thought, “Rosalind must be worried about me because she doesn’t want me to spend that much money. She doesn’t want me to stalemate with Leonardo either. This is not good for either of us.”
Thinking of this, Jonas felt warm and sweet in his heart. He began to think that Rosalind was just shy rather than hating him.
He wondered, “Yes, it must be.
Since Hosaline didn’t want me to do that, I do what she says!”
The auctioneer had been waiting for Jonas to bid, but Jonas was stopped.
And Jones was scolded by Ms. Amanda.
But to get more commissions, the auctioneer asked cautiously, “Mr. Macaulay?”
Hearing the auctioneer’s voice, Jonas didn’t feel embarrassed but looked at Leonardo smugly.
Jonas smiled, “Go ahead. Ms. Amanda said only an idiot would spend that much money on a necklace. I’m not an idiot, so let the lool buy it. Mr. Brooks, since you want to gift it to Ms. York, I’ll do you a favor.”
Ugh…
Apparently, Jonas was mocking Leonardo for being a rich fool!
Rosalind couldn’t help but chuckle.
Paulina had been observing Rosalind’s expression. Seeing that Rosalind’s emotions were still affected by Leonardo and Virginia, Paulina felt heartbroken.
Paulina used to think Jonas was frivolous and unreliable. Seeing that Rosalind was amused by Jonas, she thought he wasn’t that bad anymore.
“Jonas, that’s’clever.” Paulina grinned.
“That’s bullshit..I’m Mr. Macaulay!” said Jonas proudly. After responding to Paulina’s teasing, he turned to Rosalind with a smile on his face.
Leonardo, who had just calmed down, was pissed off.
He thought, “Damn it! How could she call me an idiot?
She even defended Jonas!
Did she like him that much?”
The most embarrassed person in the hall was the auctioneer.
Now he was worried that he would lose his job because Leonardo, the most famous hip shot in Haldorin, was scolded by Jonas, the heir to the Macaulay family! They would blame it on him!

The auctioneer felt extremely wronged. He thought, “I’m just doing my job. Have I offended Mr. Brooks?”
The auctioneer felt that all his hopes had been shattered.
However, he still had to finish his work.
“Congratulations. Congratulations, Mr. Brooks! You got the Pink Star for 60 million dollars!” exclaimed the auctioneer.
Finally, the auction was over.
After saying goodbye to Paulina, Damian, and the others, Rosalind went straight to the bathroom.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Rosalind stood still for a while.
Even if she didn’t like such an occasion, she couldn’t stay in the bathroom all the time to avoid socializing. After all, she was now the BUT’s design director, and she had no choice but to do so.
The dress Rosalind wore today was designed by hersell, and she wanted to show her dress to others!
After calming down, Rosalind smiled charmingly again and walked out in high heels!
“Ah!” screamed Rosalind.
As Rosalind was about to return to the hall, she was startled by the person who suddenly appeared in front of her. She took two steps back quickly to keep a distance from this person,
Looking at the man in front of her, Rosalind frowned slightly and was obviously a little displeased,
It was Leonardo, who spent 60 million dollars just to please Virginia.

Leonardo leaned against the wall lazily, with one foot slightly bent and his sole resting on the root of the wall. He put his hands in his pockets and had a cigarette in his mouth.
Several cigarette butts had fallen on the ground, scattering ashes all over the floor. Rosalind coughed uncomfortably as the smell of smoke permeated
this comer
Rosalind remembered that Leonardo didn’t smoke five years ago. He was always heroic, proud, and positive. She hardly saw him smoking in front of
her.
Five years after leaving, Rosalind didn’t expect Leonardo to smoke that often now. He was almost enveloped in smoke.
Indeed, people could change a lot in five years, including their hobbies and the ones they loved.
So did Rosalind.
Rosalind used to be deeply in love with Leonardo, but now she only treated him as a stranger she used to know!
Rosalind didn’t want to say anything to Leonardo or be alone with him. Without hesitation, she ignored Leonardo and walked toward the hall
However, before Rosalind could leave, Leonardo stopped her.
Even though Rosalind had a good temper, she got angry.
Rosalind snapped, “Mr. Brooks, what are you doing? Get out of my way!”
Leonardo didn’t seem to expect Rosalind to say that
He frowned slightly and stared at Rosalind with his dark eyes.
“When did you come back?” answered Leonardo in a low and magnetic voice.
