Chapter 133 A Grand Display of Affection
200 million US dollars.
An entire 200 million US dollars.
The kind of money she had never even dreamed of, yet he easily bought it for Katherine.
The difference between people is so vast.
Anna gazed at Giorgio's handsome and three-dimensional face, suddenly feeling that although he was sitting beside her, they were very far apart.
Farther than the galaxy.
She was at the southern end of the galaxy, while he was at the northern end.
Destined to be two different paths.
The host didn't know whether Giorgio bought it for Katherine or if Mr. Brown hinted it to him, but after the gavel fell, he instructed the staff to bring it to Giorgio and Anna's table.
"Mr. Vittorio, this necklace is now yours. Would you like to put it on Mrs. Vittorio?"
Giorgio glanced at the beautiful and enchanting Anna, grunted coldly, stood up, and gracefully put on the white gloves.
Then, he turned around, slightly bowed, and his slender hands passed along the sides of Anna's neck, wrapping around to the back.
The icy touch accompanied a sense of heaviness, bringing Anna back to reality, where she saw the man's perfectly unwrinkled suit.
He... was actually putting the necklace on her in front of so many people.
Her heart went 'thump, thump' uncontrollably.
"Wow, Mr. Vittorio is so romantic."
"A two hundred million dollar necklace, along with the flawless Mr. Vittorio. Mrs. Vittorio is so lucky."
Envious words kept echoing in her ears.
Anna glanced at Giorgio, who had just finished putting the necklace on her and stood up. Her gaze drifted, quickly looking away.
'He didn't put it on for you, he put it on for Katherine.'
Whether it be dancing or this necklace, he was safeguarding his image with Katherine.
The auction ended.
Anna composed herself, got up, and prepared to leave with Giorgio.
Giuseppe walked over. "Giorgio, Katherine looks stunning wearing the necklace. Can I join you for a while?"
As if knowing that Anna wouldn't agree, he added, "Since Katherine got married, she hasn't had a meal with us. Does she look down on us?"
A few other ladies also appeared, their timing unknown.
"Yeah, Katherine is spoiled by her grandmother and has a princess status. It's normal if she doesn't consider us important."
"Katherine is not that kind of person."
Anna had a headache.
Do all the people from prominent families speak like this?
Originally, she had no intention of agreeing with Giuseppe, but now she didn't want to make enemies, and she definitely didn't want to cause trouble for Giorgio.
"Sure, I'm actually hungry. Since Giuseppe suggested it, let's go to Turin Taste for supper."
Turin Taste, Crownhaven's oldest and most expensive historic restaurant, used to be a prince's mansion before it became a hotel. It was extremely costly and always packed with people.
The most important thing was that not everyone was qualified to dine there, and even if they were, reservations had to be made at least a month and a half in advance.
In other words, eating there wasn't just about food, but about money and status.
Several ladies turned pale instantly.
She really had the audacity to mention Turin Taste.
The key point was, if they couldn't go, they couldn't blame her. It was their fault for not securing a reservation.
Giuseppe said, "Katherine likes it, so it's only natural to fulfill this request. You all go ahead, I'll make a phone call."
"Giuseppe..." His mother blushed immediately, wanting to say something.
Giuseppe, with elegance, said, "It's fine, Katherine is welcome. It should be treated as a special occasion."
With those words, he turned around and left to make arrangements.
Several ladies glared fiercely at Anna.
Especially the matriarch, she had never treated anyone, not even her own son, Giuseppe, with such importance. And yet, he had agreed.
Anna tried to convey her innocence.
At that moment, she deliberately made things difficult for Katherine according to her character, but who would have expected Giuseppe to be so agreeable?
She smiled faintly and said, "See you later." Then she took Giorgio's hand and left.
Giorgio got into the car and glanced coldly at Anna. "You're quite good at attracting men."
There was bitter sarcasm in his cold tone.
Anna's heart tightened. Was he talking about her and Giuseppe?
"I..." She began to speak.
"Stay away from him. He's not as easy-going as he appears," Giorgio interrupted her.
Before, he didn't care about Katherine and didn't know if she had any connection with Giuseppe. But at the very least, Giuseppe had never indicated any interest in Katherine in front of him.
And now, Giuseppe's behavior was beyond the ordinary.
This annoyed him.
Anna wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to start.
All she could do was nod and say, "I want to stay away from him even more than you do."
"Then prove it with your actions," he said firmly, his voice turning icy.
Anna remained silent.
Was he displaying possessiveness?
No, as Katherine, his wife, if there was any connection between her and his nephew, it would be embarrassing and have a negative impact. That's why he was so serious and angry.
Ah, it was really pathetic being used as a tool, to pretend and endure his anger.
Turin Taste.
To her surprise, Giuseppe secured a private room.
When they arrived at the room, several ladies and Giuseppe were already seated around the ancient and spacious round table.
Upon seeing Anna and Giorgio walked over, he stood up, saying, "I can get whatever Katherine wants to eat. Here's the menu, take a look and order whatever you like."
Anna took it reluctantly.
Was he giving her a chance to spend his money?
Since that's the case, she might as well accept. "Okay, thank you in advance."
Giorgio's face suddenly turned cold.
He had just talked about keeping her distance in the car, and now she was smiling at Giuseppe again?
Her keeping her distance seemed so arbitrary.
"I'll order for you." Giorgio took the menu with a cold expression and opened it. He calmly and discreetly read out, "Roasted lamb chops, deep-sea fish, Australian lobster..."
There were over ten dishes in a row, all of them spicy and perfectly suited to Anna's taste!
Her heart leaped with joy, full of anticipation.
But Giuseppe frowned and said, "Hasn't Katherine always preferred lighter dishes? Giorgio, are you sure she'll like these?"
A simple rhetorical question, polite and courteous, yet it created an atmosphere of discord between the two, as if Giorgio didn't even understand Katherine's taste.
In fact, before they got married, everyone knew how cold and indifferent Giorgio was towards Katherine.
Everyone hoped the wedding would be called off, but who would have thought they would get married and be so affectionate?
Now, not even knowing her preferred taste, could it be a publicity stunt?
All eyes fell on the two, full of scrutiny.
Anna's palms became sweaty.
Oh no, he should have ordered what Katherine likes. How could he order what she likes to eat?
What if everyone finds out now?
Just as she was feeling nervous, Giorgio's long and powerful arm suddenly landed on her waist.
"Tastes can change. Do you think you know my wife so well?" he said, holding her naturally with a sense of declaring his sovereignty.
