Chapter 946 Five Hundred Million

“Alice Chapman is my youngest daughter and also Ashlyn's biological mother!” Bob replied as he held his tears

back. “This red jade belonged to Ashlyn's mother, yet the poor girl had never seen it before. Mr. Yates, I understand

you've made up your mind and have no intention of returning the jade to us. In that case, I'd be grateful if you

could consider my request.”

“What is it? I'll think about it as long as it's within my power,” Ryan answered. Mr. Chapman may have moved me a

little with his words, but there's still no way I'd give the red jade away. It is, without a doubt, from our family. That

said, I can't explain how the Chapmans got their hands on it...

“Can Ashlyn take a look at it before you keep it? Please?” Bob begged, his gaze steady and earnest.

Ryan was no cold-hearted man, so it wasn't surprising that he couldn't stand a man of his mother's age looking at

him so pitifully.

The next second, he walked up to Ashlyn. “Ms. Berry, since your grandfather has requested it, you may have a look

at the jade.”

As it turned out, Ashlyn hadn't moved from her seat the entire time. I-I finally get to see what Mom left behind,

huh?

She had heard the disagreement between Bob and Ryan and Mary's seemingly innocent explanation.

Now, she could feel everyone's eyes on her as they chattered among themselves.

When she finally looked down at the open hand before her, all she could see was the beautiful piece of red jade.

It exuded a warm, comforting glow that reminded Ashlyn of a mother's loving gaze.

Her mind had gone blank in that instance, yet strangely enough, she couldn't help reaching for the red jade and

clutching it tightly. Oh... It feels like I'm holding Mom's hand...

By then, she was all teary-eyed.

Mom... Was this your most prized possession? Can I still feel your warmth on it? Oh, but it's too late now. If I had

known this belonged to Mom, I wouldn't have let Ryan win the auction!

After a brief silence, Ashlyn finally looked up and stared into Ryan's eyes. “Please sell this to me, Mr. Yates. What do

you want for it? One hundred million? Two hundred million? Feel free to name your price.”

As her voice resonated in the auction hall, everyone turned to her in wide-eyed amazement.

Oh, gosh. She's willing to deal in the hundreds of millions! That's a lot of money, yet she said it without even batting

an eyelid!

“I'll buy it at any price you want, Mr. Yates.”

Just then, a low and deep voice rang out. “Five hundred million!”

Naturally, that triggered an uproar in the crowd. After all, no one could believe what they had just heard!

Five hundred million for a small piece of red jade? Lucas Nolan must have gone mad!

“Mr. Yates, this red jade belonged to my wife's late mother. Could you spare a thought for the deceased and sell it

to us for five hundred million?” Lucas asked again, this time in a much gentler tone.

Needless to say, Hera was green with envy as she glared at Ashlyn. Five hundred million isn't a small sum! Is Lucas

only doing it to make Ashlyn happy? If that's the case, he's nothing more than a foolish spendthrift! Argh! What's so

great about Ashlyn, anyway? How is she worth Lucas spending so much on her?

Similarly, the other women in the crowd couldn't help but gape in awe at Ashlyn and Lucas.

They were already swooning over the latter's good looks, but what shocked them more was how willing he was to

spend hundreds of millions on Ashlyn.

Oh, dear... Even our luxury bags and jewelry feel cheap now. How can anything measure up to the five hundred

million price tag?

Ryan gazed at the beautiful couple with a conflicted expression.

“Ms. Berry, Mr. Nolan, as an acquaintance of yours, I admire the two of you a lot,” he said. “However, that doesn't

change the fact that the red jade belongs to the Yates family. As such, I must take it home and keep it safe.”

With that said, he promptly reached under his shirt and pulled out a red string.

To everyone's surprise, another red jade pendant dangled from it.

The next second, Ryan ripped the pendant off and placed it on his palm.
