She would die to keep Aurum!
“Natalie, Gale isn’t like that. There are a lot of things you don’t know. Don’t misunderstand her,” Aurum explained.
“Fine, I’ll stop talking about her.”
She answered Aurum that, but Natalie actually hated Gale even more.
Even after Aurum saw Gale and Mr. Wood being so intimate, he still defended Gale!
She was really surprised.
At that moment, the Heart of the Sea was officially unveiled.
“Dear esteemed guests, what you will see next is the finale of this year’s jewelry fair, and it’s the treasure of the exhibition. It’s a crown from royalty. It’s been through
centuries of trials and hardships, yet still shines incomparably. It’s the Heart of the Sea!” the host said passionately.
Right after he said that, the red cloth was pulled away by four employees!

Praise was showered upon it.
“This is the most beautiful crown I’ve ever seen!”
“No wonder it belonged to royalty.”
“Even after a few centuries, it’s still so breathtaking.”
“This crown was something only queens and their heiresses could wear.”
“I wonder who’ll be able to wear it now?” Natalie looked right at the crown, and her gaze was intense.
“It’s just too beautiful. Aurum, look. That blue gem looks like it contains the whole ocean!”
“Yes, it really is beautiful.”
“It makes all those accessories I’ve seen in jewelry stores seem rotten in comparison.”
Aurum nodded, saying, “You must really like it. Then, Natalie, I’ll buy it for you.”
Natalie was incredibly moved.
Before that, Winnie had guessed that Aurum would buy it for Natalie, but Natalie felt like it was too expensive. She was not willing to bet on it.
It was such a large sum. Even though their families could bear the price, it was still too much of a luxury.
She could not believe that Aurum was really thinking about it!
“Really? Aurum, it’s so expensive…”
“As long as you like it, it’ll be worth it. I want all the best things in the world for you, including this crown,” Aurum said.
Natalie was incredibly touched. “Aurum, you’re amazing. I love you so much!”
“When we get married, you’ll have this crown on. You’ll have your white wedding gown as you walk to me on the red carpet.”

At that moment, the top auctioneer in the world appeared.
The auctioneer had a suit and white gloves on. He gave a professional account of Heart of the Sea’s history.
“… Due to the war, the queen accidentally lost this crown. It was only after a hundred years did the crown appear again. I’ve been entrusted by the owner of the crown to
auction it off.”
“The auction will be very simple. Everyone will have a chance to place their bids, the highest bidder will win.”
“Heart of the Sea is a world renowned jewel. The starting bid will be one and a half billion dollars.”
The moment the price was stated, everyone took a breath of cold air.
1.5 billion dollars!
Most small to middle–sized companies did not have that much in total assets!
The bidding for the crown was starting at that much!
That price caused ninety percent of them to back off.
Even those who were able to offer up that amount would not necessarily spend that much for a crown!
They had to really like it or were planning on keeping it for value!
When Gale heard that price, she raised an eyebrow.
