Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Unfortunately, Natasha chose not to place a bid.

Because the previous rounds had been so intense, when the familiar private box placed another bid this time, no one even tried to compete.

Natasha won the bracelet for just 800 thousand dollars, which was not much above the original price.

In fact, it was Alexei who raised the paddle this time.

When Natasha asked him about it, he just replied calmly, “It matches your outfit.”

Natasha glanced down at her pale blue dress and the emerald bracelet she was already wearing on her left wrist.

“Well, if Mr. Turner says we need it, then I guess that’s that,’ Natasha thought to herself.

Olivia hadn’t expected Natasha to actually go through with a bid.

She agreed with Lucas and thought that there was no way Natasha and Alexei were really that

close.

After all, Natasha had always backed out at the last minute before.

Olivia figured Natasha must have known Alexei wouldn’t have her back financially, so after messing with them for a bit, she just stopped.

After all, the total spent in just a few rounds had already gone over 70 million dollars.

The richer people were, the more shrewd they became. No toy would be worth 70 million dollars.

But this bracelet made Olivia start to second–guess her theory.

Then, after a moment, she talked herself back into it.

Alexei wasn’t like most rich heirs. To him, throwing hundreds of thousands of dollars away wouldn’t bother him at all.

Natasha probably figured out exactly where his limit was and took the chance to get him to buy her that bracelet.

Olivia just couldn’t stand seeing Natasha get whatever she wanted with such effortless charm, so she jumped right back into the bidding in the next round.

She thought, ‘Alexei might not care about spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, but what if Natasha blew tens of millions dollars in a single night?

‘He might not feel the pinch, but he’d definitely start to notice just how reckless and greedy

Natasha could be.

‘Once there is a crack between them, Natasha’s protection will start to fall apart even faster!

With that in mind, just as Natasha was about to snag the second–to–last item, Olivia called out a confident 15 million dollars.

As expected, Natasha’s brows knitted together. She kept her face icy cold and coolly upped the bid without hesitation.

“20 million,” Natasha said.

“23 million,” Olivia shot back.

Lucas could tell something was off and reached out to stop Olivia. “This necklace isn’t worth that kind of money.”

Olivia shook her head. “Relax, I’m not dead set on winning it.

“Natasha’s been way too much today–I just want to show her she can’t let her pride run wild at an auction.”

She added reassuringly, “Seriously, as her sister, even if she can’t pay up, the Clark family will cover for her. I’m just trying to give her a reality check this time.”

However, she was lying.

Olivia planned to let their parents and Thomas give Natasha a piece of their mind.

Knowing Natasha’s temper, she’d probably throw a fit and refuse the Clark family’s help.

Then Natasha would either have to shoulder the auction debt or shamelessly turn to Alexei for help.

Lucas frowned, feeling like something was off.

But Olivia had already upped the bid to 36 million.

The room erupted in gasps.

A person asked, “Holy crap, are they out of their minds? It’s just a charity auction. Do they really have to throw that much cash around?”

Another person said, “Please, you have no idea. Natasha and Olivia are duking it out.”

Someone else said, “They’re fighting with actual cash? That’s epic!”

A person asked, “With that kind of money, they could buy any necklace they want.

“Why fight over something so basic? I feel sorry for their wallets. If they really can’t spend it all, hey, toss some my way!”

The chatter exploded, and the auction hall was buzzing with excitement.

The auctioneer’s hands were shaking with excitement.

This was a career high for her. She’d have a killer story for her next job interview, bragging that she’d handled an auction item that went above 30 million dollars.

Lucia’s husband shook his head. “Alexei really is spoiling his girlfriend, letting her run wild like this.”

He felt that no matter how rich Alexei was, he couldn’t just throw money away for nothing.

He felt that Alexei should step in and put a stop to it way before it got close to 30 million.

Lucia’s face was turning green with fury.

She shot a fierce glare at the private box and planned to tell Edgar about this when she visited

him next time.

Olivia nervously wrung her hands together. She decided she wouldn’t bid any higher in the next round.

Olivia was waiting to see how things would play out. Everyone was holding their breath for the next record to be smashed.

Suddenly, a radiant face popped up at the window of Alexei’s private box.

That gorgeous face was lit up with a sly, mischievous grin.

Everyone knew what was coming.

They thought, ‘Oh no, here she comes again.”

The next second, Natasha cupped her hands in a playful salute toward Olivia and Lucas.

“Alright, you win. I’m out,” Natasha said with a sly grin.

Olivia shot up from her seat so fast that her dress knocked over a cup.

‘Natasha!‘ Olivia fumed inside.

Her chest heaved. She was so mad that she got played again.

36 million was no small amount.

Since she’d just told Lucas the Clark family would cover it, that meant she was the one stuck footing the bill.

Even if she used all the cash she had, she’d still have to sell off a couple of houses and some jewelry just to cover the gap.

The two of them locked eyes across the open window. Natasha was beaming like a flower in full bloom, while Olivia’s face was dark as thunder.

The Turner twins huddled together, whispering, “So, does that mean that Olivia won?”

The younger sister rolled her eyes. “Win? Please. Did you not see Olivia’s funeral face just

now?”

“But what if Olivia hadn’t jumped in with her bid? What would’ve happened to Natasha then?” the older brother wondered aloud.

Their mom, who was Alexei’s aunt, picked up both twins without any change in expression.

She said, “If she loses, they will just buy it. Alexei isn’t going to be short on cash for something like this.”

The older twin argued back, “It’s not that he can’t afford it, but spending that much is just not worth it.”

As a high schooler, that was definitely a fortune to him.

Their mother glanced over at the distracted Cheryl and Sasha, then smiled. “Miss Clark’s whole look probably costs about as much as this price.

“Do you really think Alexei cares about something like that?”

When they greeted her at the entrance, the Turner family got a good look up close.

They were aware of fashion. They could tell how much Natasha’s clothes and jewelry were

worth.

She turned to Cheryl with a deliberate smile. “Alexei spoils his girlfriend so much, I bet he’s just as generous with his family.

“Cheryl, how come you didn’t buy anything today? Nothing catches your eye?”

Cheryl shot her a sharp glare.

She thought, ‘She knows full well that we don’t get along with that weirdo Alexei. Is she just trying to rub it in?‘

“We don’t need any of these things,” Cheryl replied coldly.

Anyone could tell she was just putting on a front.

The twins exchanged glances and thought, ‘Looks like if you want to survive in this family, you better cling to the right person.‘

While the rest of the Turner family were busy trading barbs, there was another member who was about to lose his mind.

Cade was on the verge of losing it.
