Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 718 - 373: Extra: Did He Really Never Have Feelings for Her?

For Skyler Jones, wanting to bid on what jewelry was naturally none of Christine Quinn’s business, but when the bidding for the bracelet reached forty million, Christine finally furrowed her brows and glanced at Skyler beside her.

Even for a piece of jewelry inlaid with rare purple diamonds, forty million was more than enough. Skyler, being a businessman, should have known this better, yet he didn’t stop. When the price called hit forty-five million, Skyler astonishingly shouted fifty million...

The gigantic figure of fifty million finally concluded the bidding for the bracelet. When the host announced that the fifty-million-dollar bracelet belonged to Skyler Jones, Christine was so shocked she couldn’t close her mouth for a while.

Christine no longer paid attention to the subsequent auction. She only knew that Skyler bid on only this bracelet throughout the auction, yet he became the guest with the highest bid...

After the jewelry auction finished, the purple diamond bracelet was placed in Christine’s hand under the escort of three bodyguards. Christine was still in a daze when a group of friends familiar with Skyler came to offer their congratulations.

Skyler held Christine, always displaying a fierce pursuit of her, making the ladies around envious.

The confused Christine could only cooperate with Skyler and smile shyly.

Finally, as the banquet ended, Christine left the venue, arm in arm with Skyler.

In the hotel’s parking lot, Christine, whose face was stiff from smiling, finally withdrew her smile and handed the jewelry back to Skyler.

She said nothing, only knowing that she accompanied Skyler to this event for Marie. It didn’t concern her whether it was worth it or not, even if Skyler spent that much money on the piece. Moreover, he didn’t buy it for her. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"For you!"

Who could have thought that when Christine handed the purple diamond bracelet back to Skyler, who was expressionlessly looking at the windshield, he would casually say this?

Christine’s mind went blank. She stared at Skyler incredulously with her beautiful wide eyes.

Skyler seemed unfazed, having turned the car around, ready to go home.

Seeing Skyler start the engine, Christine’s shock snapped her out of it, and she numbly asked, "You... give it to me?"

Christine’s words were still filled with disbelief. She obviously never thought Skyler would give her jewelry.

It must be known that even in the past, Skyler had never given her anything so valuable, despite them being in love then.

Skyler turned his face slightly and glanced at Christine. "Don’t want it?"

Christine quickly nodded, "I want it, of course, I do." Having spoken, she clutched the jewelry box to her chest, a smile involuntarily appearing on her face.

Skyler continued driving, showing no apparent change in demeanor.

Christine lowered her head and opened the velvet box, staring at the purple diamond bracelet resting inside, far purer and more beautiful than in the photo. A strange warmth flowed through her heart.

He gave it to her...

It was a gift from Skyler...

The fact continuously echoed in Christine’s mind, making her heart flutter with excitement and joy. Every so often, she stole glances at him beside her.

She began to wonder...

Didn’t he despise her? Why would he give her such an expensive bracelet? Could it mean he doesn’t actually dislike her that much... right?

A series of self-questions circled Christine’s mind. She felt happy, excited, and an irrepressible smile spread across her beautiful lowered face.

Suddenly, the screech of brakes resounded, abruptly breaking Christine’s train of thought.

The car stopped, and Christine saw a red Ferrari halted in front of Skyler’s car.

Christine was momentarily bewildered. Before she understood the situation, she saw a graceful and elegant young woman step out of the red Ferrari opposite.

Seeing the woman approaching his car, Skyler first curled his lips into a smile, then got out, leaning against the car as he watched the approaching guest.

Christine recognized the person as "Miss Douglas," who had danced with Skyler at the banquet. She wasn’t clear about this person’s identity, but judging from "Miss Douglas’s" attire, her family background must be substantial.
