Chapter 20 The Mysterious Man Behind the Scenes

Roman and Amara, who were sitting at the front, heard Ryan’s bid. They looked back at him and said, “We didn’t expect you to know how to buy things to make woman happy.”

“Big Brother, I learned it from you.” Ryan responded coldly.

Ryan’s indifferent reply made Roman unable to cause trouble for him.

“The men from the Monor family should be very generous. But if you treat it as a wedding gift to sister-in-law, wouldn’t it be too shabby?”

If a man’s gift to a woman was too shabby, it would only make this man appear petty.

“Roman, my sister won’t mind. Anyway, she does not know anything about branded goods.” Amara deliberately belittled Elena.

Elena needed to pay a high medical fee these few years. She didn’t have the money to buy these luxury goods. Elena probably got Ryan to buy these things for her because of jealousy.

Elena smiled and did not get angry.

“I have indeed never worn these luxury goods, but I am very happy that my husband is willing to buy them for me. Sister, I am not like you. As long as you act cute, you’ll get a gift.”

Amara’s face immediately changed after hearing this. “You are saying that I can only get a gift by acting spoiled? Elena, let me tell you, even if I don’t want it, Roman will buy it and give it to me!”

“This is your private matter, I am not interested to know.”

Elena did not want to argue with Amara. If Amara did not take the initiative to provoke her, she would definitely not respond to Amara.

But after Elena finished speaking, Amara actually raised the sign in Roman’s hand. She said faintly, “One million.”

Roman frowned. He really did not care about money. However, Amara acting on her own initiative to bid for him made him feel somewhat disgusted.

One million. Elena thought of this number in her heart. She did not know how much money Ryan could take out. But one million was definitely not a small amount.

“Ryan, I don’t want this necklace anymore. Anyway, I don’t like wearing necklaces. If you buy it, it will only be a useless thing.”

Ryan smiled. Of course he knew what Elena was thinking.

He turned around and whispered a few words into Isaac’s ear. Isaac nodded and stood up to leave the venue.

On the stage, the host was about to bid 1 million when a staff member hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words into the host’s ear before running off again.

The host said awkwardly, “Sorry. This necklace had already been bought by someone anonymous. So the last item for auction has been canceled.”

Amara did not expect this kind of thing to happen. She originally planned to compete with Ryan and make Elena lose face. She did not think that this auction item would be canceled.

This kind of situation had happened in the past. Some mysterious buyers were unwilling to reveal their identities, so they would go to the backstage and find the owner to buy it at a high price. The price they offered was usually higher than the price given by the person on the stage.

But she didn’t know who bought the necklace.

“What a coincidence. Sister, the necklace you like was bought by someone else.”

Amara turned around and looked at Elena who was behind her. “Why don’t I discuss with the person and let him give this necklace to you?”

Her words had two objectives. She indicated that Elena did not get anything. She indirectly said that Ryan was a useless person.

How could Elena let Amara insult Ryan like this? She immediately retaliated domineeringly.

“Big Sister, you are really arrogant. Since he bought this necklace anonymously, it means that he doesn’t want to expose his identity. How can you discuss it with him? Sister, you think too highly of yourself.”

Amara wanted to pretend to be tolerant. But Elena’s every word could anger her.

“Elena, who do you think you are? If you didn’t marry into the Monor family, what qualifications do you have to come to this kind of place?”

Elena still said faintly, “You and I are one family. We are the same thing.”

“Enough.” Mason heard them quarreling as soon as he got closer. He coughed heavily. He was even more disappointed with Amara. He said angrily, “I told you to go home. Why are you still here? Do you really want to disgrace the Lewis family?”

Mason had always had high hopes for Amara. However, he did not expect Elena’s words to make Amara panic. Amara was not as powerful as Elena. Moreover, her temperament and experience were not as good as Elena.

How could she allow the Lewis family to have a higher status in the future? It would be good if she did not let the Lewis family have a lower status.

Mason felt that it was very difficult to do so.

“Grandfather, it was Elena who bullied me.”

“Shut up. Come home with me immediately!” Mason said coldly. He looked at Ryan and said, “Sorry. It was me who did not teach my granddaughter well.”

Then he looked at Elena and turned to leave.

Roman just looked at them indifferently and didn’t say a word. But her knew in his heart that Elena was not as weak as she looked on the surface.

Ryan and Elena did not leave immediately.

“Are we not going back?” Elena asked.

“Wait.” Ryan forgot about the unhappiness just now.

At that moment, a staff member holding the necklace walked in front of Ryan. “Second Young Master, this is the necklace you bought. I have wrapped it for you.”

“Thank the manager for me.” Ryan said. He took the necklace and put it in front of Elena.

Elena saw the necklace and was surprised. “Did you buy the necklace?”

Ryan smiled. His smile was more useful than his words.

As long as she liked it, a necklace was nothing.

Ryan put the necklace in Elena’s neck. He praised, “You look good.”

Elena looked at the gentleness in Ryan’s eyes and could not help kissing his face, “Thank you.”

Ryan was stunned. He instantly became very happy. He pretended not to see the people around him and directly kissed Elena.
