Chapter 351 Answered Yvette's Call
Albert casually placed a bid, harshly embarrassing Violet. He could actually do this much for Yvette!
Thinking about the past, when she was the one being loved like this, her heart ached and shrank.
No! She wouldn't let Yvette have it! She wouldn't let Yvette be this happy!
Violet's eyes reddened even more, looking as if she was about to cry. She looked at Rodolfo and said, "It's too expensive, forget it."
Rodolfo indeed frowned, glanced at Albert with dissatisfaction, and then raised his paddle again. "Ninety-five million dollars."
The main event hadn't even started yet, and such a bidding war was already taking place.
Everyone in the venue was eagerly watching the drama unfold.
Albert's expression remained indifferent. He was about to raise his hand to bid again, but Yvette stopped him. "No, I really don't like this set."
Albert turned back, his eyes deepening. "Why?"
He leaned close to her ear. "I think it complements your skin tone very well."
Yvette felt he was hinting at something, blushed, and pushed him away, saying seriously, "The problem is I really don't like it."
Albert gazed into Yvette's eyes and asked seriously, "You really don't like it, not because it's too expensive?"
Yvette nodded, tugging at his suit sleeve, not daring to let go, afraid that if she did, he would bid again.
Seeing that she genuinely didn't like it, Albert didn't care if giving up would become a topic of conversation. He directly put down the paddle in his hand.
Seeing Albert really giving up on bidding, Yvette finally breathed a sigh of relief. She let go of his sleeve, noticing that she had wrinkled his expensive suit, and instinctively smoothed it out for him.
Albert was slightly stunned, then chuckled lightly, raised his hand to wrap around her shoulder, and gently rubbed her skin with his rough thumb, feeling its delicate texture.
Albert's voice was low. "As you wish."
Albert gave up, and Rodolfo secured the emerald jewelry set for ninety-five million dollars, making Violet the most dazzling woman in the room.
Violet looked proudly in the direction of Albert and Yvette. The two were whispering intimately, seemingly unaffected by anything.
Violet clenched her fists in frustration.
After the auction, Yvette followed Albert back to the hotel room where they had stayed the previous night.
Yvette, having sat with Albert in the venue for so long, was already exhausted.
Back in the room, Yvette, who had been sitting upright, relaxed her shoulders and began to remove the jewelry she was wearing in front of the mirror.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and several staff members wearing gloves entered, carrying a high-quality jewelry box.
The staff lined up in front of Yvette and opened the jewelry box.
Inside was a set of diamond jewelry that Yvette had chosen herself. Unlike the emerald set, it wasn't as prestigious or expensive, but the craftsmanship was exquisite, and the design was elegant.
Compared to the ninety-five-million-dollar emerald set, this six-million-dollar diamond set was nothing.
All the attention was on the emerald jewelry, and hardly anyone noticed this diamond set.
The staff, wearing gloves, took out the jewelry and helped Yvette try it on.
Under the room's lighting, the entire set of jewelry sparkled brilliantly, emitting a dazzling glow.
Yvette sat in front of the mirror, examining herself.
Several staff members were amazed. "Oh my, Mrs. Valdemar, it suits you so well."
"Yes! This set of jewelry truly matches your elegant temperament, it's stunning!"
"And this was donated to our auction by the descendants of Queen Natalia Ruth of Solstice. Natalia and her husband, the king, were a devoted couple who had four children and left many romantic legends. We believe this love will be passed on to you and your husband!"
The staff's compliments were endless, but Yvette wasn't interested in whether this jewelry carried the "love" they mentioned.
Albert's expression softened, and he waved his hand. "You can leave now."
"Alright."
The staff packed up the jewelry box, had Albert sign, and left. The room fell silent, leaving only Albert and Yvette. Under the bright lights, Yvette's skin looked especially soft, glowing in the diamond's light.
Albert's even footsteps approached, and the next second, Yvette felt her waist being encircled by Albert's hands.
Albert hugged Yvette from behind, slightly bending down to rest his chin on her neck, his nose gently brushing against her.
Albert's lips curved into a smile, his eyes filled with pride and joy. "Do you like it?"
His sudden closeness made Yvette's body stiffen slightly. She paused for two seconds and replied, "Yes."
Albert chuckled lightly, his breath warm against Yvette's neck, making her shrink slightly from the ticklish sensation.
Albert said, "I still think the emerald set suits you better."
As he spoke, there was still a hint of regret in his tone for not winning the emerald jewelry.
"I don't understand those things." Yvette tilted her head. "I only like diamonds."
"Alright." Albert tightened his arms, burying his head deeper into her neck. "As long as you like it."
Albert's voice grew hoarse and deep, full of magnetism. His lips touched her neck and lingered. What began as a light touch turned into him gently licking her earlobe. The moist, slippery sensation made her body tingle.
Yvette raised her elbow in slight resistance, blocking his approach.
She pursed her lips and said, "I haven't showered yet, let me go wash first."
Albert's actions finally stopped.
As Albert released her, Yvette felt a sense of relief. Though she knew what was coming, she always needed to mentally prepare. She removed the new diamond jewelry, grabbed her change of clothes, and walked into the bathroom.
Albert glanced down at his own uncooperative reaction, feeling a bit helpless.
She was like his drug; whenever he touched her, his immense self-control seemed to vanish.
As Albert was thinking, a faint vibration filled the room—it was a phone. He looked around and realized it was Yvette's phone vibrating in her bag. He hadn't planned to answer it, but the caller was persistent.
Albert took Yvette's bag, retrieved the phone, and saw the caller ID: "Immigration Agent."
This note made Albert's grip on the phone tighten slightly.
Feeling suspicious but not wanting to jump to conclusions, Albert controlled his emotions and answered the call without speaking.
A female voice came from the other end of the line. "Ms. Orlando, hello. The information you requested about the Emberlyn immigration process has been sent to your email. Please check it. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!"
