Chapter 828: Chapter 846: In the years of one’s life, love never lets go (Ending 2)

The silence on the phone was eerily quiet.

Elijah Smith held the mobile phone, and waves of intense pain swept over his heart. He furrowed his brows, and after a long while, he finally broke the silence, "Ella?"

Ella... Once, whenever he called this name, it felt like he had eaten sugar, the sweetness lingering in his mouth.

But now, as he called this name, all he felt was bitterness filling his mouth.

At the other end of the phone, Ella Adams heard the familiar tone calling her name; her eyes suddenly reddened. Standing on the bustling Main Street in front of the entrance of the hospital, she spoke to Elijah Smith on the phone after a while, "Elijah... Are you available now? Let’s meet."

Elijah Smith thought about refusing but eventually nodded and said, "Mm."

The arrest and imprisonment were postponed by four hours.

In these four hours, what Elijah Smith and Ella Adams wanted to do was crystal clear to him.

...

Facing the fact that Evelyn Osbert was going to marry Robert Vincent, women always lament the constantly changing world and sigh at men’s fickleness.

However, for Percy Stanton, at this moment, he was calm to the extreme.

Robert Vincent was not wealthy to him, but he was a wealthy CEO for most people in the world.

Therefore, what Percy Stanton was focusing on right now was how to thwart the wedding affair between Evelyn Osbert and Robert Vincent.

At the auction event, the items being auctioned off were world-class, first-class treasures, commanding high prices.

The circle of wealthy people had its own way of living—being able to purchase the most expensive items in the room represented status.

The best items were at the end, so the items auctioned off in succession did not cause much of a stir.

As the items got more high-end and grand, a white jade seal from the Zhou Dynasty appeared, which sparked some interest in Isabel Smith.

The jade seal was the imperial seal used in ancient times, crafted with pure white jade. From a distance, it looked as white as snow, crystal clear, shimmering with a faint white halo under the lamplight.

Attending a charity event like this, you always had to buy something. Moreover, jade was about fate; since she was drawn to it at first glance, Isabel Smith turned and whispered to her secretary, Emille, seated next to her, to bid as the price increased.

Good items, if Isabel Smith could appreciate them, obviously others could too. So Secretary Emille only raised the card once, and after the price had circulated among seven or eight people, it had jumped fivefold, from the initial five million to twenty-five million.

Secretary Emille instinctively turned around and looked at Isabel Smith, inquiring if she wanted to continue bidding. Isabel Smith looked straight ahead and nodded; Emille then raised the sign, saying, "Thirty million."

"Thirty-one million."

"Thirty-five million."

"Thirty-nine million."

"Forty-three million."

...

Secretary Emille looked at Isabel Smith again. This time, before she had spoken, Percy Stanton, sitting beside Isabel Smith with his arms folded across his chest, spoke out, "Bid directly at seventy million."

Secretary Emille hesitated for a moment and glanced at Isabel Smith. Isabel looked at Percy Stanton, puzzlement flickering in her eyes. Although the jade seal sounded powerful, it wouldn’t be worth this much money. Why was the bid so high?
