Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee Chapter 188 Chapter 188 Why Regret?
âNo need, this amount of money is nothing.â Aylin took a sip of water and immediately raised her sign.
â37,500 dollars.â
Upon seeing her spending so generously, someone couldnât help but whisper, âHas she gone mad? This painting, which seems to have nothing special, is not worth the price. Isnât it enough just to take a look?â
Only a few people who wanted to buy that painting to hang it up were new to embroidery and hesitated. They had witnessed the financial power of the daughter of the Koch family and knew they couldnât compete, so they willingly stepped aside.
The host said, â37,500 dollars for one time!â
Everyoneâs gaze naturally shifted towards Gavyn.
People may not care about the items, but they are still interested in gossip. They are all curious to see if Gavyn will compete with Aylin in the auction this time.
The auctioneer continued, â37,500 dollars for the second time!â
Did he not like that painting just now?
âIs there anyone else interested in this exhibit? If not, then...â
Just as the auctioneer was about to close the deal with a bang of his gavel, Gavyn calmly raised his sign, his voice not loud but resounding. â45,000 dollars.â
He wasnât wasting time when he was examining it earlier; the embroidery was truly exceptional in terms of technique, color, and layout. It was a rare masterpiece.
Itâs probably because there are few people in the market who can truly appreciate its value, which is why it hasnât encountered a buyer who knows how to appreciate it.
Gavyn felt that he was the one who could truly appreciate this beautiful portrait, providing it with a perfect place to call home.
But, it seems that Aylin thought the same way.
She turned her head and glared at him irritably, âYouâre competing for this too?â
Gavyn snatched the necklace to give to Laila, and although she was annoyed, she could understand. After all, to win a womanâs heart, one must choose something both beautiful and expensive.
The first time could be explained as a coincidence, but this time, theyâre genuinely looking for trouble!
G Gavyn didnât understand the rarity of ancient embroidery techniques. In the three years since she married into the Delacruz family, they hadnât even collected a single embroidered piece, which showed that they had no interest in this field Whatâs with the pretense now, acting like a big shot!
Aylin frowned, âMr. Delacruz, handcrafted embroidery is different from gemstones. You donât understand the intricacies of it, so wouldnât it be a waste to buy it?â
âDo you even understand its value?â Gavyn glanced at her, his handsome eyebrows and eyes exuding an air of noble aloofness.
âItâs obvious that you knew I had my eye on this painting first, and you deliberately bid on it just to spite me.
Only giving it to you would be a true waste of resources.â
She was dumbfounded.
Aylin almost burst into laughter at his remark, glancing at him with a raised eyebrow. âCan you even distinguish the shades of the embroidery, or tell how many layers the stitches should have?
How dare you criticize me when you know nothing Gavynâs lips curved slightly, âSimple things donât prove much. When it comes to the difference. between boudoir embroidery and workshop embroidery, you get dizzy. I advise you not to lose face out of stubbornness.â
An arrogant maniac!
Aylin felt that this person was impossible to communicate with, their narcissism and arrogance were beyond redemption!
She didnât say anything more, silently turning around and decisively raising the stakes, âIbid. 75,000 dollars!â
âDid they really start fighting?â
âDid Mr. Delacruz and Ms. Koch have some kind of disagreement before? Why do they seem so tense when they meet?â
âDidnât that happen earlier in the side hall? Mr. Delacruz was speaking up for Ms. Koch, right?â
âI cannot understand...â
The audience watching the play couldnât help but exchange glances and whisper to one another.
The confrontation between the Delacruz Group CEO and the daughter of the Koch family was even more interesting than the auction itself. It was definitely worth attending this event.
The brand representatives were astonished. Their company was just a small brand, persisting in following the traditional cultural path and being squeezed by other markets, yet they hadnât made a name for themselves.
Unexpectedly, this exhibit actually managed to attract someone who truly appreciates its value, and the price even showed an upward trend. The person in charge couldnât help but shed tears of joy.
at the thought.
The auctioneerâs voice was filled with excitement, â75,000 dollars for one time!â
Gavyn, unwilling to show weakness, quickly threw out his own price. â82,500 dollars.â
The crowd erupted in astonishment once again, with some people staring wide-eyed at the painting. âWhat kind of priceless treasure is this? Even if it were coated in real gold, it wouldnât be worth this much. Besides, thereâs nothing particularly extraordinary about it, right?â
âYeah, itâs just an embroidery, there are plenty of them on the streets.â
Waylon looked as if three black lines were about to appear on his forehead. He reached out and slapped Gavyn, âWhat are you doing? Have you lost your mind?â
â
He was truly at a loss for words. Gavyn was great in every aspect â he came from a wealthy family, had strong personal abilities, was tall with long legs, and had a handsome appearance. Objectively speaking, most of his qualities were excellent.
The only thing is, heâs just too much of a straight guy!
In this situation, even a blind person could see that Aylinâs love for embroidery was burning with passion. Anyone with a bit of sense should have bought the embroidery and given it to her, instead of competing with Aylin for it!
Didnât you see that he was following her wishes?
âCan you not be so stubborn? Thereâs no need to fuss over whether you appreciate it or not. There are plenty of embroidery pieces out there; it wonât make a difference if you miss out on this one.â
Waylon leaned in close and whispered, âCanât you see how anxious she is right now? Sheâs genuinely angry. If you keep pushing and upset her, youâll be the one regretting it later!â
Gavynâs voice was gentle, âWhy should I have any regrets?â
He was rendered speechless.
Waylon was momentarily at a loss for words.
His emotional intelligence has hit rock bottom, sinking to the depths of the Mariana Trench. Thereâs no hope for him! Itâs no wonder Aylin divorced him. If I were in her shoes, I would have done the same!
I really donât know how Aylin could stand him before!
