No need to be so upset, Mr. Payne, dont you think?
Nathans expression remained cold and stern. My wifes skills are top-notch in the business world. If she had entered the business world as early as I did many years ago, she could have been the foremost figure in Cadiereds business arena. She might have even surpassed me. I wont stand for anyone underestimating her abilities.
If you doubt the fairness of the bidding, you can take it up with Ellsworth. If you lose, youll have to accept it gracefully and save face.
Having spoken, Nathan walked away, arm wrapped around Lucinda.
As they left, Lucindas gaze lingered on Nala, standing close to Danilo.

As Lucinda and Nathans figures vanished completely from Danilos view, he cradled Nala in his arms and grew affectionate with her again.
Honey, due to his affiliation with the National Security Bureau, Nathan has collaborated with numerous influential figures worldwide in years. He has an extensive network and is a formidable individual to contend with. What do you think about dropping this bidding?
Danilo suggested.
Nala, visibly upset, gently pushed Danilo away, resisting his overtures. Youre unaware that Miss Simmons just taunted me moments ago. She used her familys illegitimate child to ridicule me, suggesting that Im overestimating myself. She even called me an ugly duckling.
Danilo was taken aback. After all, youre my girlfriend. How could she say such things to you?
Nala cried softly and gave a nod. Two teardrops of sadness trickled down her innocent and lovely face.
Danilos heart shattered. He gently wiped away Nalas tears using his weathered hands, rough with calluses and wrinkles.
My sweetheart, please dont cry. It hurts me even more to see you in tears, Danilo said.

Nala nestled in Danilos embrace, her tears flowing quietly. Honey, you have to help me get back at her. She not only snatched the bid champion from me but also insulted me like that. Its clear she doesnt respect you.
Danilo gently patted Nalas back, offering comfort. Alright, Ill surely get justice for you. Ive heard theyll be returning to Cadiered tomorrow. I promise Ill make things right before they leave.
Nala nodded contentedly and nuzzled her head against Danilos broad chest like a delicate and affectionate kitten.
Considering an important detail, Nala added, Lucinda knows how to defend herself, and shes skilled. Honey, you need to be cautious.
kising her forehead, Danilo responded, Ive got it.
Danilo and Nala nestled close to each other. If seen from afar, they might appear more like a father and daughter than romantic partners.
Upon returning to the hotels presidential suite, Lucinda was exhausted from shopping.
She immediately flopped onto the bed, indulging in a leisurely rest.
Witnessing Lucindas laid-back demeanor, Nathan responded with a fond smile and began organizing the things of their shopping bags.
Lucinda and Nathan had already arranged their flight home for the following day. They had nearly packed their Luggage the night before, with only the newly purchased gifts and clothing from today left to be organized.
Nathan purchased two sets of intimate apparel at the adult store, and the bags they came in were quite pink. He couldnt resist running his hand over the bags, anticipating that once they returned home, Lucinda would put on these alluring outfits, setting the stage for an intimate evening together.
