His Precious Love

Chapter 191 Do Not Apologize

After the woman had stalked off in a huff, Jefferson took a glass of champagne for Rayna and remarked, “You were still too impulsive. You’ll fail in business if you can’t remain calm. Didn’t Curtis teach you that?”

Snatching the champagne from him, Rayna retorted with a harrumph, “I was just irritated by her hoity-toity attitude.”

On second thought, regret crept into her. “I seem to have gone a bit overboard just now. Is she someone important? Will it affect your business? And why didn’t you stop me?”

She shot a barrage of questions at the man.

Chuckling softly, Jefferson drawled airily, “It’s her honor to have an opportunity to speak to us. You may say and do whatever you want with me by your side, for I’ll back you up.”

Rayna sensed her face burning up. She hastily took a gulp of champagne and averted her gaze.

There were many people who knew Jefferson, and they all came up to greet the man. Rayna kept smiling to the point that she could feel that her face had gone stiff. When she could finally take a breather and have a seat, the auction started.

More than thirty items were to be auctioned, and they were all donated by elites or celebrities. No matter the price they ended up fetching, all proceeds would be used to establish charity schools, mobile health vehicles, and the like.

Some would even fork out an exorbitant sum to win a bid for the sake of their reputations. The atmosphere right then was exceedingly lively.

“The next item to be auctioned is a yellow diamond necklace donated by Mr. Charlie Landry!”

The auctioneer opened the box, revealing a yellow diamond necklace lying on top-notch velvet, shimmering brightly.

Feminine gasps rang out all around the banquet hall.

When Rayna cast a glance at the necklace, she could understand their feelings.

Yellow diamonds were common, but those on that particular necklace were of high purity and large in size. If one were to wear it to a dinner or the like, it would be incredibly riveting.

Noticing that she was staring at the necklace, Jefferson asked, “Do you like it?”

“I’m not all that interested in jewelry. Besides, its starting price must be sky-high, considering the size of the yellow diamonds,” Rayna replied. She found it pretty, but she wasn’t really enamored by it.

At that precise moment, the auctioneer announced, “The starting price of this necklace, Passionate, is thirty million!”

Rayna spluttered, almost spewing the champagne she had just drunk. She wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue. “I find the charity dinner tonight no different from an auction. They both aim for money.”

No sooner had she said that than Jefferson lifted his hand, his voice steady and commanding. “Fifty million.”

Immediately, Rayna swung her gaze at him. “Have you lost your mind?”
