Chapter 86 Nathanâs expression was dark.
Isabella gave a faint smile. These people with their narrow- minded views, didnât they understand the saying âthirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west sideâ?
To cover up her own hesitation, she carefully organized her words: âIâm not an expert on fashion, but coincidentally, I do know a bit about this necklace. What Miss Victoria said is both right and wrong. Itâs true that this was a gift from Her Majesty the Queen to her daughter, but it does not symbolize power. It symbolizes a lifetime of love. Itâs Her Majestyâs most beautiful blessing to her daughter.â
âIsabella, how do you know the meaning of this necklace? The Queen is a woman of great ambition; how could she be bound by trivial love? I think youâve probably made up this meaning yourself to steal the spotlight,â Victoriaâs friend stood up, challenging her.
Isabella remained calm and composed. âThe necklace is surrounded by two cherry blossoms, one large and one small. The language of cherry blossoms is âa lifetime of love for only you.ââ
The host was stunned. âAh, indeed, there are two cherry blossoms, one large and one small.â.
The applause from the audience was deafening.

Chapter 86 288 vouchers Victoriaâs friend was livid, her face turning ashen.
Isabella turned around and gave her a mocking smile. âYouâre wrong. The flower language here doesnât represent love, but maternal love. Itâs Her Majestyâs deep love for her daughter.â
Instantly, the applause grew louder.
Many young heirs and heiresses from prestigious families raised their paddles, eager to buy the necklace. After all, what better way to please oneâs mother than with such a meaningful gift?
Victoriaâs face darkened.
Meanwhile, Nathan stared at Isabellaâs back, lost in thought. He didnât know that Isabella had such a bright side to her.
The next item for auction was a bracelet.
The host began the bidding at 3,000, only to be met with bursts of laughter from the audience.
But then, Isabella raised her hand. âIâll take it.â
Whispers circulated: âThe least favored daughterâinâlaw of the Hill family, coming from a poor background, obviously canât afford anything good. This bracelet, at most, suits her.â
The host called out, â3,000â once, 3,000 twice...â
Suddenly, Theodore raised his paddle. âI bid 5,200.â
Isabella stared at him in confusion, silently asking: Why are you competing with me?
Chapter 86 28E Wouchers.
Theodore winked at her, silently mouthing, âIf you like it, Iâll buy it for you.â
The audience was bewildered. âWhatâs so special about this bracelet? Why are they both fighting so hard for it?â
Isabella sighed and chose to give up..
Theodore won the bracelet.
The host asked him, âYoung Master Sanchez, why are you so attached to this bracelet? It seems like such a simple item.â
Theodore replied, âYou just donât recognize quality. This bracelet is made from flowers, and Iâm buying it for my dear Sis. I want her life to be free of worries.â
The audience suddenly understood and sighed in admiration.
âSuch a beautiful meaning... I wish I had bid for it too.â
Isabella smiled faintly, her gaze soft as she looked at Theodore. Her eyes grew inexplicably moist As the auction reached its climax, Isabella felt herself growing tired.
Until the hostâs voice rang out: âThe next item for auction is The City of Cycles...â
Suddenly, all her drowsiness disappeared, and her face turned as pale as paper.
