Chapter 12

Chapter 12 It turned out that Ellan, Tony, Andrew, and even Bethany were all there. Not only that, but Bethany was surrounded by the three brothers, laughing and enjoying their attention.

“Heth. If you like something, just raise your paddle. We’ll pay for it. Don’t worry. As long as you like , it’s all yours.”

Tony looked at the girl beside him with gealle eyes, and the other two also expressed their willingness to do the same.

Katerina gradually withdrew her gaze, focusing on the auction items.

The auctioneer presented one item after another. At first, Bethany was a little hesitant and didn’t dare to raise her paddle.

But soon enough, as long as she had shown interest or glanced at something a few times, it was immediately bought by them.

Many people were drawn to this extravagant spending, casting envious glances.

“Those three powerful men from the Green family really treat Bethany well. If I were Bethany, I’d be so happy.”

“I used to think they really liked Katerina. I thought she’d end up marrying one of the three brothers!”

“Yeah, who could have predicted it would turn out like this? They don’t love the eldest daughter of the Green family. They prefer the maid’s daughter instead. The Green family’s reputation is completely ruined!”

Feeling the pitying looks from others, Katerina didn’t care in the slightest.

She simply kept counting the auction items, waiting for the last item to be presented.

Finally, the auctioneer cautiously presented a bracelet, carefully explaining its history and age.

Katerina could no longer sit still. She gripped the auction paddle tightly, ready to place her bid.

This bracelet was the love token her father had once given her mother. No matter what, she had to buy it back!

Losing to My Substituta Starting price: 3 million. The auction begins now!TM “5 million!”

“O million!”

Many people raised their paddles to bid. As the price continued to climb, many gave up, leaving only Katerina and a few others still in the bidding war.

She kept raising the bid. Seeing how much she cared about the bracelet, Bethany rolled her eyes and began to act coquettishly toward the men beside her.

“This bracelet is so beautiful. I wonder how it would look if I wore it.”

Instantly, the three brothers began clamoring.

“I’ll buy it for you!”

“Don’t worry, Beth, I’ll get it for you!”

The three brothers started competing with each other.

“10 million!”

“15 million!”

“20 million!”

Seeing this, Katerina’s heart sank.

They all knew how much this bracelet meant to her.

When the bracelet’s original owner, her parents, had lost it, she had been heartbroken.

After she had learned of the loss, the three brothers had immediately drawn a picture of the bracelet, competing to cheer her up: “Kate, don’t be sad.

We’ll find it. One day, we’ll get it back, no matter the cost.”

Chapter 420 But now, the promise they had made back then had turned into a joke.

As the price soared higher and higher, nearly reaching an astronomical figure, 50 million, Katerina glanced at her bank account.

Chapter 12 It was no longer enough. If she forced herself to bid, she would have to spend all her inheritance and even borrow money.

Just as she hesitated, Ethan made a gesture, as if he was about to strike a deal, and the entire room erupted in whispers.

This gesture meant that no matter how high the bid went, he would continue bidding until he won.

In that instant, Katerina’s heart turned to stone.

She realized she couldn’t get it anymore.

When the bracelet was handed to Bethany, she looked at Ethan with eyes full of affection. “Ethan, you bought this for me. Can you help me put it on?”

At this moment, Tony and Andrew both voiced their objections.

“Beth, I also have money. If he hadn’t beaten me to it, I could have bought it for you!”

“Big brother, I’ll give you the money for the bracelet. Can you let me put it on Beth instead?”

Saying this, Tony offered his card.

Andrew also stepped forward, trying to hand his card to Ethan.

“I have money too, big brother. Why don’t you let me do it instead?”
