Chapter 237
Chapter 237 Suffer Bitterly
Jane had been playing the piano for years to make a name for herself, so that she could marry into a decent family and wouldn't worry about making a living. How could she be a piano genius?
She tried to calm herself down. Her eyes flicked fiercely, and then she looked at Anastasia with a natural smile.
"Playing the piano is for cultivating my mind, not for those vulgar pursuits. Awards don't explain everything."
Anastasia couldn't help laughing.
"Cultivate your mind? I thought with this skill, you could marry into a wealthy family in the future."
Anastasia said it bluntly, which made Jane's face darken.
She almost couldn't keep smiling.
The people around were watching the fun.
Anastasia was not a pushover, or she wouldn't have let the Patterson family suffer bitterly after the divorce.
Jane gritted her teeth and glared at Anastasia with a livid face.
Anastasia smiled and covered her mouth as if she realized she had said something wrong.
She mocked, "Oh, Ms. Martinez, don't be angry. I didn't mean to insult you. It was a joke. Can't you take a joke?"
She blinked her brilliant eyes with a clear smile.
She didn't want to talk to Jane, but Jane was around her all the time.
Anastasia wouldn't bear it.
She had learned a lot of acting from Beatrice.
Jane was driven mad with anger. She tightly clenched her fists.
Finally, she looked at Christian with tears in her eyes.
With a smile, Christian looked down at Anastasia gently. He was attracted by her radiant beauty tonight and didn't hear what they said.
"Mr. Patterson..."
Jane couldn't help reminding Christian.
She came with a mission. How could Christian ignore her?
Christian frowned and glanced at Jane.
"Didn't you hear that she was joking? All right, let's go. The auction will begin."
Christian looked down at Anastasia. "How about going to the front seat?"
Anastasia didn't look at him and walked forward while lifting her dress.
There was a bit of doting in Christian's eyes.
Anastasia was so cute!
Thinking of what she said to Jane, Christian couldn't help but be delighted. She must be jealous.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so angry.
Christian couldn't bear to continue to make Anastasia jealous.
After all, they loved each other.
Countless thoughts flashed through Christian's mind.
But the auctioneer, Ross, started to introduce the collection.
Jane stepped forward.
She said in a low voice, "Mr. Patterson, it's agreed that you have to give me a gift as a reward."
Christian didn't care about money at all. He walked forward after saying yes.
Jane felt better.
She walked into the crowd again, quietly watching Anastasia look at the collections.
Tears of the Ocean came last. Anastasia began to bid for it.
Jane's eyes moved slightly.
Her desire to win was aroused, but it was too expensive.
The starting price was 20 million dollars.
The most expensive collection before was only 21 million dollars.
The price of the Tears of the Ocean was beyond imagination.
There were not many participants in this round of bidding.
But two or three people were involved.
When the price reached 40 million dollars, only Anastasia was left.
Jane's expression was cold. She turned to look at Christian and smiled tactfully.
"Mr. Patterson, I want the Tears of the Ocean. Why don't you buy it for me?"
