"Ms. Joanna's charm is extraordinary, having bewitched Mr. Sheldon like this."
"Rebecca Kelloway is really stealing the spotlight this time. To compare, now it seems like Joanna Lawrence lost to her. Didn't they say Ashton Heath was very willing to spend money on Joanna? How come he didn't even spend a single penny at the auction? Any woman would love this jewelry set; why wouldn't he bid on it for Joanna? He couldn't possibly think it's too expensive and be unwilling to spend that amount, right?"
"Yeah, it's so strange. Why wouldn't Ashton bid on the jewelry set for Joanna? I thought they said Ashton doted on her a lot. Could it all be fake?"
Rebecca heard these voices around her, and as she raised her head to look at the silent and immobile Ashton Heath, she suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction and relief.
Hearing the envious voices, she couldn't help but show a trace of pride in her eyes.
At this moment, it was as if she had returned to the past.
