Shattered Rose He Held On Tight novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Spending Big for Charity

Jasper figured out who he was dealing with and was ready to back down.

But Lydia noticed Claudia’s smug little look, and her mood tanked. She stopped Jasper.

“Three million,” she said.

Jasper glanced at her, surprised.

Lydia forced a helpless smile. “Jasper, Claudia probably doesn’t even care about that vase. But we can’t hold back. We’ve got to spend the money.”

Tybalt and Wilson had sent them here to throw money around at the charity event and make it loud.

The small bids earlier were just warm–ups. The real spending was supposed to come later.

If Claudia swooped in and they failed to burn through the money, their whole show would turn into a joke.

Saving reputation was one thing, but what truly ate at Lydia was Claudia’s constant provocation.

Back then, Lydia had always laughed at Claudia’s embarrassment.

Now Claudia’s look burned her.

Even in a small auction, Lydia wasn’t about to back down.

She softened her tone, trying to sway Jasper. “Honestly, I’ve got another worry. You know Claudia isn’t rich. Even if she wins, it’s Mr. Romero footing the bill. Between the two of them…

She hesitated, then said, “When a man and woman mix money with no commitment, it always ends ugly.”

Her vague words carried a clear hint of gossip.

Jasper’s expression turned dark.

Lydia had convinced him. The thought of Claudia spending another man’s cash made him sick.

Who knew what Sterling was truly after? And Jasper wasn’t about to lose to him with Claudia watching.

When Claudia raised it to eight million, Jasper fired back with ten million.

He assumed Claudia was just messing with them, trying to cause trouble.

Still, he had business to handle today. If she truly wanted the vase, he could always hand it over later.

The price soared to absurd levels–dozens of times beyond its worth. Even for charity, it was

crazy.

The guests finally started paying attention. Those who’d heard the rumors leaned in for a better look.

Khloe watched Claudia bid without flinching and smirked. “Sterling truly spoils her.”

The Romeros had risen high under Sterling, but everyone else’s power was being chipped away, leaving only a shiny shell.

Her parents had been cutting back on money lately. Just getting some pocket cash was hard, let alone blowing millions at an auction.

As the bidding went higher, Lydia’s frown deepened.

She hated the thought of letting Claudia win.
