Chapter 349: Is This Really Okay?
Women often have a stubborn affection for jewelry, but few can boldly claim that every piece they’ve worn must become theirs. Such a statement demands not only courage but absolute financial power!
After Julia Sanders‘ remark, she playfully winked at Suzanne Jenkins and asked teasingly, “Suzanne, did you bring enough money? Claire’s personally designed and crafted jewelry doesn’t come cheap, you
know.”
Cassie Palmer nodded vigorously, “Yeah, considering its starring role, it won’t be cheap to win the
bid.”
Suzanne Jenkins, initially confident, hesitated upon hearing this, her brows furrowing slightly in surprise. She turned to Claire Donovan, her confidence waning as she asked tentatively, “Claire, is it really that expensive?”
Claire Donovan shook her head with a soft chuckle, “I’m not sure myself, it’s an auction after all. But if not many people are interested, maybe you can get it for a few tens of millions.”
Hearing this, Suzanne Jenkins felt uneasy. Considering the popularity of the necklace during the show, it was likely many would bid for it. Although she had earned a substantial amount from her acting career, spending hundreds of millions was a different matter entirely.
Seeing Suzanne’s downcast look, Claire Donovan laughed and reassured her, “Don’t worry, Suzanne. If you can’t afford it, I’ll bid for it and give it to you as a gift.”
“What!?” Julia Sanders and Cassie Palmer were shocked, their faces twisting as if they had been wronged, and they began to protest.
“Claire, I want one too!”
“Yes, it’s not that I don’t want it, just that I can’t afford it. Claire, that’s not fair.”
Claire Donovan scolded them with a glance. She knew well that neither of them was poor. They were just reluctant to spend their own money on her creations, hoping to get them as wedding gifts from her. She was well aware of their little schemes.
“Enough, you two. Haven’t I given you plenty before? Don’t compete with Suzanne this time.”

Julia Sanders pouted, and Cassie Palmer also gave a resigned look, dropping the argument.
Suzanne Jenkins, however, felt a bit awkward, “Claire, is this… really okay?”
“There’s nothing wrong with it.” Claire Donovan pulled out a card from her bag and waved it in front of the women, “Don’t worry, I have this! Just bid, Suzanne, and don’t fret about the money. Besides, I’ll get seventy percent of the auction money back, so it’s not a loss!”
Sean Vanderbilt, recognizing the card, twitched at the corner of his eye. Julia Sanders eyed the card curiously, then asked in confusion, “Claire, when did you get this card? I’ve never seen it before. Isn’t that the unlimited black diamond card?”
Claire Donovan slapped Sean Vanderbilt’s shoulder proudly, smiling blissfully. “This card was a gift. from Sean, it has fifty billion in it.”
Fifty billion!?
Julia Sanders, “…”
Cassie Palmer,
Suzanne Jenkins,
The three women simultaneously widened their eyes in shock, their jaws nearly dropping to the floor. They stared at the card in Claire Donovan’s hand, then at Sean Vanderbilt, and back at the card again, their expressions a mix of complexity and envy.
Julia Sanders chuckled awkwardly, touching her nose, “I should have kept quiet.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Knowing she’d only get a mouthful of ‘dog food‘ (enviable displays of affection), she regretted asking. It was too disheartening.
Suzanne Jenkins pursed her lips and turned away, raising her hand as if wishing she could slap herself She thought she’d never make fifty billion in her lifetime, yet here was Sean Vanderbilt, casually gifting it to Claire. The disparity between people could be so vast.
Claire Donovan, seeing the women turn away, blinked in confusion and looked at Sean, “Did I say something wrong, Sean?”
