Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 332: I Can Still Support You

The ’Gift of the Goddess’ has, in a way, become a symbol.

It is a symbol of noble women in the world.

Moreover, the women who have held it throughout history are never ordinary, and many of their descendants enjoy privileges with the holder of the ’Gift of the Goddess’.

These people seek precisely this.

Selena Kensington nodded, somewhat understanding, and looked at Hughes.

"Hughes, how much do you think this pendant will sell for?"

Hughes smiled, crossing his arms and leaning back on the sofa, "That depends on Sterling."

"?"

Selena was a bit confused for a moment; why ask Sterling Norwood?

Could he possibly predict the selling price?

Sterling Norwood smiled, pulling the still bewildered Selena back to the sofa.

Then, before Selena could react, he pressed a number on the controller beside him.

"!!!!"

Selena was startled, instinctively reaching to grab his hand, but the next second she heard the auctioneer’s voice below.

"Guest in room number five on the second floor, bid... thirty million US Dollars!!!"

The bidding price had been steadily increasing, but always in increments of one million US Dollars.

Sterling Norwood suddenly raised the price by over ten million US Dollars.

There was a commotion in the hall, as people looked towards the room on the second floor, number five.

In the room, Selena glared at Sterling, "You spendthrift!"

Spending over twenty million on a pendant, truly extravagant!

No wonder Hughes said the price would depend on Sterling Norwood.

With bids like his, how many people would dare compete with him?!

Sterling Norwood chuckled, ruffling her hair, while Selena angrily swatted his hand away.

He wasn’t upset, and coaxed her with a smile, "Don’t worry, I can still afford to take care of you."

Hughes nodded in agreement nearby, "Yes, sister-in-law, this amount doesn’t matter to cousin. The Norwood Family’s millennia of heritage is no joke."

Upon hearing Hughes, Selena finally understood.

Indeed... The Empire’s foremost family, a millennia’s legacy, how could such wealth be squandered?!

But she still felt a bit sullen, "I’ll forgive you this time!"

Sterling Norwood sighed, she was becoming more and more like a steward.

"Yes, yes, I’ll listen to my dear wife."

Sterling soothed her for a while until Selena’s mood gradually improved, and a smile returned to her face.

Meanwhile, in the room on the third floor where Samuel Dalton was, he was waiting idly for the final roundup.

But unexpectedly, he heard news about room five on the second floor.

He remembered... his room was directly across from room five.

So, is this item something his sister wants?

He couldn’t help but sit up straight.

The beautiful woman sitting on the sofa beside him slightly raised an eyebrow at her son’s sudden movement.

She was Samuel Dalton’s own mother, Anna Colombo.

Even nearing forty, she still retained her charm.

Her thick and dazzling curly blonde hair, and sensuous, alluring red lips.

"Alessio, that girl... is on the ship, right?"

"Ah... perhaps she is the esteemed guest in room five on the second floor..."

Anna chuckled as she spoke.

Samuel Dalton’s eyes narrowed, and he suddenly turned to look at his mother.

The calm and unruffled gaze gradually rippled.

"Mother, don’t get any ideas about her."

He spoke with a warning tone.

Anna responded teasingly, "Yes, yes, my precious son has grown up..."

Samuel Dalton’s mother hadn’t missed his peculiar behavior on several occasions before.
