She Got A Better Man

"Elvira, I'll tell my family I sat here when I'm home. They'll envy me, Olivia whispered, grabbing Elvira's hand excitedly. "Are things that strict here?" Elvira asked. She had been out of this circle for many years, and there were some things she didn't know.

"Of course. Only the most prominent could sit here. Calvin and Judy aren't even qualified. Look at the person three seats from you. That big shot often appears in the news. God. I have to take a photo to prove it to my parents." Olivia took out her phone excitedly. But why did they arrange for me and Olivia to sit there? Elvira felt something was up but also sensed it wasn't maliciously

done.

When Judy saw Elvira sitting in the first row, her nails dug into her palms. 'I couldn't even sit in the first three rows but Elvira could sit there? Judy spoke anxiously, "Calvin, why is Elvira there? Doesn't she know the rules? If she takes someone's seat, it will be embarrassing when the owner comes and kicks her out. I'll ask her to leave. If she wants, I'll give her my seat."

"Ignore her. It's her fault if she's kicked out. Does she think she can do whatever she wants here?" Calvin was displeased and disliked Elvira more. 'Can't she be sensible like Judy?' he wondered.

Judy waited for Elvira to be kicked out but it didn't happen. When the auction began, Judy was speechless. She didn't expect Elvira to be so lucky. The owner of her seat didn't show up.

The auctioned items were exhibited individually and the host announced the starting price. Those interested could bid.

The first few items were of low value, and there wasn't much competition, so they were quickly auctioned off.

When tonight's highlight, a diamond ring, was placed on the stage, many people looked eager.

The host introduced, "This ring is named 'Eternity. It was a wedding ring designed by the Queen of Wyland for her daughter. It looked simple because it was meant to be worn daily. This ring is rumored to be blessed. Any couple who wear it will be together forever, thus this ring is highly sought after." The starting bid for the ring was two million dollars.

Judy was excited. Her grandmother already knew about her and Calvin. When her grandmother returned to the country, she would announce their engagement and hold a grand engagement ceremony. The Kennedy family was also sincere, promising to bid for "Eternity' as Judy's wedding ringThis is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Calvin." Judy's eyes lit up. The ring was special. Whoever had it would be highly regarded in Jersten.

Calvin patted her hand, smiled, and raised his bid. "2.2 million dollars."

Olivia heard Calvin's voice and looked at him. She pursed her lips. "Is he a fool or just blind? He'll regret his decision sooner or

later"

That's his business, not mine." Elvira had freed herself from that relationship. She didn't care about what Calvin did.

"4 million dollars," someone called out.

"6 million dollars," Calvin spoke calmly, looking determined.

Someone raised the bid again.

"8 million dollars" Calvin looked as though it was nothing to him. He would follow whenever the other person bidded.

-Judy looked at Calvin in awe. She glanced at Elvira triumphantly. 'Look at you, Elvira. Your boyfriend is mine and your family will be mine too. You're nothing but a stepping stone in my life."

Stacy didn't see Elvira in the first row. She returned from the bathroom to see Calvin bidding on the ring. She was envious. They had the same last name but Judy lived large and had a wealthy boyfriend but her family was ordinary. However, Stacy thought of Elvira, who was worse off than her and felt better.

8 million dollars was a high bid. No one raised it anymore. They looked at Calvin and Judy enviously.

6:18 PM c

Judy felt smug. She hugged Calvin's arm and kissed him. She was already contemplating how to celebrate tonight and thank Calvin.

"10 million dollars, somebody called out.

Calvin rose to take the ring but froze. He sat awkwardly, his eyes flashing displeasedly. He raised the bid. "Il million dollars."

"12 million dollars, the other party called.

Calvin's eyes darkened. His family gave him a limit of 10 million dollars. He just bidded 11 million dollars, which meant he had to come up with one million dollars.

Judy looked at Calvin worriedly. They turned to look at the other bidder. He was sitting in a dark spot, surrounded by bodyguards. They couldn't make him out.

Elvira and Olivia had thought Calvin would win the ring. Olivia was furious. Now that someone was fighting for it, she became interested and wanted to see who it was. However, she couldn't see him.

Neither could Elvira. She could only see a silhouette, which seemed familiar. 'Do I know someone so wealthy?"

"12.2 million dollars." Calvin didn't want to give up. He couldn't afford to lose and embarrass himself. Cold sweat dripped down his neck. He was at his limit.

Judy was nervous too. She was afraid Calvin would give up. She had boasted to everyone that Calvin would propose to her. with Eternity. If Calvin couldn't get it today, she would be embarrassed. Fortunately, Calvin didn't give up. She prayed the other side wouldn't bid again. But her prayer went unheard..

"20 million dollars." Zach increased the bid significantly. The crowd gasped and turned to him. But they couldn't see him in

his dark comer.

They looked at Calvin, who acted rich and pompous previously, to see if he dared raise the bid again.
