Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth

The box was directly given to Gwenda.

All guests present were immediately in an uproar.

"100 million dollars is given to her? Just like that? Who's his boss?"

"Who is this Miss Evans? She's quite pretty. Could it be that the gentleman's boss wants to woo her?"

"You don't know her? She's Cecilia's manager. Her name is Gwenda Evans."

"I'm really curious about who bid for that necklace. How could he just give it away like that? That's 100 million dollars."

All guests present were whispering among themselves.

When Martin saw this, his face darkened once again and it felt like there was something lodged in his throat. Gretchen, who stood next to him, was no longer calm too. Her fists were clenched and she looked upset.

"Who the f*ck's so blind that he chose to gift such an expensive necklace to her?!"

Justina gritted her teeth in furious disbelief.

Gretchen's eyes flashed when she heard that. Turning to look at Martin, she saw that he was staring at Gwenda with an indiscernible expression on his face. Her heart clenching, Gretchen said slowly, "Gwenda's so charming, it's natural that someone wishes to woo her."

Justina snorted with disdain. "Her? Charming? I think she's coquettish rather than charming!"

Hearing that, Martin's face darkened further as he glanced at Justina before letting go of Gretchen's hand. "I'm going outside for a bit."

Gretchen froze. "Martin? Martin..."

Justina was confused. "What's wrong with Mr. Morel?"

"I'll go take a look."

As she spoke, Gretchen went after Martin.

With Gwenda, everyone was watching her as she deliberated over whether to accept the necklace.

Seeing this, Otto felt awkward as he reminded her in a low voice. "Miss Evans, this is boss' token of regard. Please accept it."

"Where is he?"

Gwenda asked with a frown.

Otto pressed his lips together as he did not intend to tell her.

"Oh, Gwenda, just accept it."

At this point, Hattie had already guessed who the gifter was and urged Gwenda to accept it.

After a moment of impasse, Gwenda accepted the necklace in order to avoid making things awkward. "Thank you."

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Having finished his task, Otto turned to leave.

Seeing this, Gwenda said to Hattie, "I need to do something. I'll be back soon."

With that, she tucked the necklace away and followed Otto quietly.

The auction carried on uninterrupted.

Gwenda followed Otto to the second floor of the charity banquet hall and finally located Olivier in the lounge there.

"We need to talk."

She barged in.

Otto was stunned.

Sitting on the sofa, Olivier was dressed in a fine tailor-made suit, his legs crossed. There was an aura of nobility around him.

Seeing Gwenda's approach, he smiled and said to Otto, "Leave this room for now."

Otto nodded and did just that.

The door of the lounge closed with a thump.

Olivier beckoned her. "Come."

Gwenda went over and sat next to him. "Here, you can take this back."

The "Heart of the Ocean" necklace was placed on the coffee table.

Seeing this, Olivier chuckled. "You don't like it?"

"It's too expensive."

100 million dollars.

She did not even think that she was worth spending that much for.

Olivier picked up the necklace and studied it for a while. Then, he spoke casually as if he was talking about the weather. "It's just 100 million. Not that bad."

The corners of Gwenda's mouth twitched. "You're terribly rich, aren't you?"

"Of course, so don't refuse."

Olivier was proud of himself. "Money is not an issue for me!"

Gwenda was struck speechless.¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
