Rachel paused for a moment. She knew because she had given it for auction. The money was still in her Swiss account.
I read about it in a magazine, she said flippantly.
The suspicion in Victors eyes dispelled.
Why wasnt I aware that you read magazines?
When your grandma was alive, we used to spend our afternoons in the garden having tea and reading magazines. At that time, you were always busy working. So it makes perfect sense that you didnt know about it, Rachel answered.
She was just making up excuses. However, when Victor heard it differently. He thought that maybe she was blaming him for being around more often. And she was expressing her dissatisfaction.
Does this mean that she genuinely cares about me? His eyes darkened and he promised suddenly, Ill cancel all unnecessary social engagements for the future. We can go anywhere you want.
Hearing that, Rachel met Victors dark eyes that looked like a bottomless pond. Caught off guard, she saw the affection in his eyes and was stunned for a moment.
Stay with me forever, Rachel, and I will give you whatever you want.
What if I dont want to? Rachel asked in a calm and casual voice.
Victors eyes darkened, and he frowned slightly.
Rachel could feel the displeasure.
Theres no if. After a while, he added, Unless I die, you can never leave me.
Rachel raised her eyes and looked into his eyes. After a while, she smiled and looked away.

Okay.
Victor stared at her. For some reason, he felt that even though she was next to him, he felt miles away from her. The sense of loss grew stronger.
But before Victor could figure out why, he heard the host.
Mr. Jimenez bid one hundred and sixty million. Would you care to bid again, Mr. Sullivan?
Victor looked at Ivan.
Ivan immediately understood. He raised his paddle and calmly said,
Two hundred million. If the other party would like to raise the bid, we are willing to add ten million to his offer.
Everyone held their breath and looked over at Roger. It was obvious what Ivan meant.
Rogers eyes darkened, and he clenched his fists.
Oh, well. The host was lost for words. If the two kept raising the bid with their wealth, this auction would continue for a long time.
This was the first time she had been in such a situation.
