Chapter 567 Is He Going to Propose to Her?
The Mask glanced at her, although Betsy couldn't see his face, his icy gaze made her tremble in fear.
Betsy said, "Sir, I..."
"You overestimate your intelligence. You pay for it yourself!" The Mask's voice was cold.
Betsy was flustered and said, "Six million two hundred thousand dollars, I... I don't have that much money!"
The Mask smirked coldly, "Just entertain a few more guests, and you'll have the money."
Betsy's face turned pale, her lips trembling, saying, "Sir, I am your woman."
"Can't you spend over six million dollars buying me a necklace?"
The Mask said coldly, "You are so foolish, not worthy of being my woman!"
"Betsy, remember, you are just a tool for me to vent my desires. If you ever think you are smart again, I will make you suffer!"
His voice was as ruthless as a demon from hell.
Thinking of his cruel methods, Betsy swallowed hard, shrinking her shoulders, afraid to speak again.
Now she was banned, relying solely on this man.
Because he promised her to help her return to the entertainment circle and make her famous!
Although he was very mysterious, she didn't care who he was as long as he could help her achieve her goals!
She only knew he would make her famous, and his target was Aaron!
Betsy thought, 'Aaron and Nora have made me suffer.'
'I just hope this man will get rid of them!'
The auction continued.
So far, no one had surpassed the six million two hundred thousand dollars bid for the Ocean Star.
Guests were curious, speculating about the identities of Betsy and the Mask.
Especially the Mask, who hadn't shown his face, had everyone wonder who he was to spend so much money on a woman.
Nora, watching them from behind, also felt puzzled about the Mask's identity!
Next, Aaron bought a set of jewelry that Nora liked for one million dollars.
They sat quietly until the last item came up for auction.
"Next, we have the famous designer Ariel's ring named Forever Love. The starting price is two million dollars."
This was the highest starting price for an item today.
Everyone was excited, waiting to see who would eventually buy this ring for how much money.
Guests interested in the ring had already started bidding.
Nora listened to the continuous bids from the guests, equally curious about who would win the ring tonight.
Someone bid four million dollars.
Someone bid six million dollars.
Someone bid ten million dollars.
The person bidding ten million dollars was the Mask.
Guests gasped in shock.
"Who is this man? He just spent six million two hundred thousand dollars on the Ocean Star, and now he's bidding ten million dollars for this ring. He's really wealthy."
"I guess he's buying this ring for the woman next to him, right?"
"This woman must not be from our circle, right? She looks average, but lucky enough to make a man spend so much money on her."
"I remember, she's a not-so-famous actress, who was banned because she offended Mr. Gordon."
"What! So, she found another wealthy man?"
"I'm curious about what this man really looks like. He must be very ugly to wear a mask, right?"
"I'm sure he and Aaron must be rivals, they've been competing fiercely in several auctions."
Listening to the discussions, Betsy tightly squeezed her fingers, her back slightly straightened.
Although the Mask had insulted her, trampled on her dignity.
In the eyes of others, the Mask was doting on her.
This still satisfied her vanity.
Betsy thought, 'Is he really buying this ring for me?'
'After all, he only has me as a regular companion.'
As Betsy was fantasizing, Aaron bid, "Twenty million dollars."
He raised the price to twenty million dollars with his first bid.
Guests gasped again, shocked by Aaron's wealth.
Nora was also taken aback.
She didn't expect him to bid twenty million dollars.
"Aaron, what are you doing? Is this ring really worth that much?" Nora asked.
Aaron said with a smile, "It has a good meaning, so it's worth it."
Seeing his deep eyes, Nora's heart skipped a beat.
Nora thought, 'If he buys this ring, could he be planning to propose to me?’
'He hasn't announced our engagement today, so maybe he's buying the ring now to propose to me.'
Nora's heart was beating rapidly.
She thought, 'A twenty million dollar ring!’
'Although I come from a wealthy family, too, I would be scared holding onto it if Aaron really intends to give me this ring.'
Seeing the Mask not bidding further, Betsy couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you continuing?"
The Mask looked at her disdainfully and said, "Idiot!"
He thought, 'I only brought twenty million dollars.'
'If it weren't for your impulsive bid, maybe I could have competed with Aaron a bit more, making him lose more.'
'But now, Aaron is alert.'
'If I continue to bid and Aaron, like just now, stops bidding at a high price, the ring will be mine.'
'If I can't pay, not only will I lose the deposit I paid during the auction, but I will also be ridiculed by industry insiders.'
'I would lose before even entering the battlefield.'
'So, I can't bid anymore!'
No one bid higher than Aaron's price.
The auctioneer struck the gavel, and the ring was sold to Aaron for twenty million dollars.
The charity auction ended successfully amidst the guests' discussions.
The Mask turned to look at Aaron.
At this moment, Aaron was smiling, looking gently at Nora.
Sensing the Mask's gaze, he turned slightly to look over.
The Mask smirked sinisterly, raised his middle finger at him, then got up and left.
Betsy also quickly got up and left with him.
Aaron narrowed his eyes, sensing his provocation, thinking, 'Who is he?'
"Aaron, who is he?" Nora asked what he was thinking.
Aaron raised his eyebrows, took her hand and stood up, saying, "He's nobody important. don't pay attention to him."
There were many people who hated Aaron, but he didn't think those people were important.
Nora was just asking casually, her heart now focused on the ring Aaron had just bought.
She really wanted to ask Aaron why he bought the ring, and if he intended to give it to her.
But Nora was afraid it was just her imagination.
She thought, 'What if he doesn't intend to give me the ring?'
'If I ask and Aaron denies it, I would be so embarrassed!'
"Mr. Gordon is really amazing," Archer and others approached Aaron and Nora, praising him with smiles.
Harper beside them said with a smile, "I bet Mr. Gordon bought this ring to give to Nora!"
Aaron glanced at her and admitted, "Yes."
