Chapter 188 Why Regret?
“No need, this amount of money is nothing.” Aylin took a sip of water and immediately raised her
sign.
“37,500 dollars.”
Upon seeing her spending so generously, someone couldn’t help but whisper, “Has she gone mad? This painting, which seems
to have nothing special, is not worth the price. Isn’t it enough just to
take a look?”
Only a few people who wanted to buy that painting to hang it up were new to embroidery and hesitated. They had witnessed the
financial power of the daughter of the Koch family and knew they couldn’t compete, so they willingly stepped aside.
The host said, “37,500 dollars for one time!”
Everyone’s gaze naturally shifted towards Gavyn.
People may not care about the items, but they are still interested in gossip. They are all curious to see if Gavyn will compete with
Aylin in the auction this time.
The auctioneer continued, “37,500 dollars for the second time!”
Did he not like that painting just now?
“Is there anyone else interested in this exhibit? If not, then...”
Just as the auctioneer was about to close the deal with a bang of his gavel, Gavyn calmly raised his sign, his voice not loud but
resounding. “45,000 dollars.”
He wasn’t wasting time when he was examining it earlier; the embroidery was truly exceptional in terms of technique, color, and
layout. It was a rare masterpiece.
It’s probably because there are few people in the market who can truly appreciate its value, which is why it hasn’t encountered a
buyer who knows how to appreciate it.
Gavyn felt that he was the one who could truly appreciate this beautiful portrait, providing it with a perfect place to call home.
But, it seems that Aylin thought the same way.
She turned her head and glared at him irritably, “You’re competing for this too?”
Gavyn snatched the necklace to give to Laila, and although she was annoyed, she could understand. After all, to win a woman’s
heart, one must choose something both beautiful and expensive.
The first time could be explained as a coincidence, but this time, they’re genuinely looking for
trouble!
G
Gavyn didn’t understand the rarity of ancient embroidery techniques. In the three years since she married into the Delacruz
family, they hadn’t even collected a single embroidered piece, which showed that they had no interest in this field
What’s with the pretense now, acting like a big shot!
Aylin frowned, “Mr. Delacruz, handcrafted embroidery is different from gemstones. You don’t understand the intricacies of it, so
wouldn’t it be a waste to buy it?”
“Do you even understand its value?” Gavyn glanced at her, his handsome eyebrows and eyes exuding an air of noble aloofness.
“It’s obvious that you knew I had my eye on this painting first,
and you deliberately bid on it just to spite me.
Only giving it to you would be a true waste of resources.”
She was dumbfounded.
Aylin almost burst into laughter at his remark, glancing at him with a raised eyebrow. “Can you even distinguish the shades of the
embroidery, or tell how many layers the stitches should have?
How dare you criticize me when you know nothing
Gavyn’s lips curved slightly, “Simple things don’t prove much. When it comes to the difference. between boudoir embroidery and
workshop embroidery, you get dizzy. I advise you not to lose face
out of stubbornness.”
An arrogant maniac!
Aylin felt that this person was impossible to communicate with, their narcissism and arrogance were beyond redemption!
She didn’t say anything more, silently turning around and decisively raising the stakes, “Ibid. 75,000 dollars!”
“Did they really start fighting?”
“Did Mr. Delacruz and Ms. Koch have some kind of disagreement before? Why do they seem so tense when they meet?”
“Didn’t that happen earlier in the side hall? Mr. Delacruz was speaking up for Ms. Koch, right?”
“I cannot understand...’
The audience watching the play couldn’t help but exchange glances and whisper to one another.
The confrontation between the Delacruz Group CEO and the daughter of the Koch family was even more interesting than the
auction itself. It was definitely worth attending this event.
The brand representatives were astonished. Their company was just a small brand, persisting in
following the traditional cultural path and being squeezed by other markets, yet they hadn’t made a
name for themselves.
Unexpectedly, this exhibit actually managed to attract someone who truly appreciates its value, and the price even showed an
upward trend. The person in charge couldn’t help but shed tears of joy.
at the thought.
The auctioneer’s voice was filled with excitement, “75,000 dollars for one time!”
Gavyn, unwilling to show weakness, quickly threw out his own price. “82,500 dollars.”
The crowd erupted in astonishment once again, with some people staring wide-eyed at the painting. “What kind of priceless
treasure is this? Even if it were coated in real gold, it wouldn’t be worth this much. Besides, there’s nothing particularly
extraordinary about it, right?”
“Yeah, it’s just an embroidery, there are plenty of them on the streets.”
Waylon looked as if three black lines were about to appear on his forehead. He reached out and slapped Gavyn, “What are you
doing? Have you lost your mind?”
–
He was truly at a loss for words. Gavyn was great in every aspect – he came from a wealthy family,
had strong personal abilities, was tall with long legs, and had a handsome appearance. Objectively speaking, most of his
qualities were excellent.
The only thing is, he’s just too much of a straight guy!
In this situation, even a blind person could see that Aylin’s love for embroidery was burning with passion. Anyone with a bit of
sense should have bought the embroidery and given it to her, instead of competing with Aylin for it!
Didn’t you see that he was following her wishes?
“Can you not be so stubborn? There’s no need to fuss over whether you appreciate it or not. There are plenty of embroidery
pieces out there; it won’t make a difference if you miss out on this one.”
Waylon leaned in close and whispered, “Can’t you see how anxious she is right now? She’s genuinely angry. If you keep pushing
and upset her, you’ll be the one regretting it later!”
Gavyn’s voice was gentle, “Why should I have any regrets?”
He was rendered speechless.
Waylon was momentarily at a loss for words.
His emotional intelligence has hit rock bottom, sinking to the depths of the Mariana Trench. There’s no hope for him! It’s no
wonder Aylin divorced him. If I were in her shoes, I would have
done the same!
I really don’t know how Aylin could stand him before!
