Chapter 588

The moment Louis heard Rachel’s voice, his heart started racing uncontrollably.

Unexpectedly, he felt an overwhelming sense of joy and excitement.

Rachel still cared about him, right?

Otherwise, why would she interfere?

He tightened his grip around the number sign he was holding. For a moment, he forgot to continuebidding.

Seeing that he did not speak for a long time, Olivia could not help but turn to look.

When she saw his distracted look, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

She collected her thoughts before putting on a gentle expression. “Louis, why don’t we forget about it?It’s just a ring.”

Louis came back to his senses. Looking at her forced smile, he frowned.

The conflict and struggle he was feeling were replaced by heartache and guilt. Determination appearedin his eyes as he raised the sign in his hand and said, “1.4 million dollars!”

“1.6 million dollars!” Rachel refused to give up.

Hearing her voice, the people below the stage erupted into discussion again.

Everyone knew that Louis and Olivia were getting engaged soon.

Since this was the case, Louis must be buying this ring for Olivia.

However, Rachel kept stopping Louis. It was obvious that she did not want Louis to get the ring.

There were a lot of dignitaries and socialites from Seaxas in the audience. In the current situation, theyfelt that they should not get involved and would just be onlookers.

As the price increased, Louis’s expression became more and more solemn.

Previously, Rachel’s decision to join the bid out of the blue made Louis feel that Rachel could not let goof him, but now that she was continuing to bid, it made him feel annoyed.

At this moment, Olivia held his hand and said gently, “Louis, forget it. There’s no need to spend somuch money on me.”

The more obedient and sensible she acted, the more Louis’s heart ached.

He held Olivia’s hand. “What are you talking about? I’ll never put a price tag on you.”

As he spoke, he raised the sign in his hand again. “2 million dollars!”

There was an uproar below the stage.

They all looked at Rachel expectantly.

Rachel crossed her legs and raised the sign in her hand. Her red lips parted as she calmly said, “4million

dollars.”

It was 2 million dollars more than the last bid. Everyone praised Rachel’s boldness and felt sorry forthis woman who could not get who she loved.

So what if Rachel pestered Louis? It was a fact that Louis and Olivia were about to get engaged.

“This woman really doesn’t know what’s good for her. Mr. Smith and Miss Cruise are about to beengaged, yet she’s still unwilling to give up. She’s really shameless.”

“So greedy! This kind of woman often doesn’t end up in a good place!”

“As an ex-girlfriend, she should disappear from his sight. Why is she appearing in front of him? Is sheafraid that no one knows how she pestered the Smith family in the past?”

“She’s from a small family after all and doesn’t care about her reputation. I would never do somethingas embarrassing as this.”

However, Cindy didn’t think so. She couldn’t wait for Rachel to be proven guilty of not giving up onLouis.

How could a normal man tolerate his woman being obsessed with another man?

Not to mention a man like David Jones.

With his status, he could have any woman he wanted. How could he allow Rachel, who loved anotherman, to continue staying by his side?

Thinking of this, Cindy’s eyes flickered. She took advantage of the fact that Rachel was bidding againstLouis again to defend Olivia.

“Rachel, what is the meaning of this? You clearly know that Mr. Smith wants to buy that ring and give itto Olivia, but you still won’t let go. Are you trying to make things difficult for them?”

“That’s right. Mr. Smith and Miss Cruise are about to be engaged, but she’s still pestering Mr. Smith.She’s simply shameless!”

Rachel lowered her eyes and looked at Cindy below the stage mockingly. “Since it’s a charity auction,everyone has the right to bid. I really don’t know why you’re saying that I’m not giving up.”

“You know best whether you’re relentless or not!” Cindy snorted disdainfully. “Who doesn’t know thatyou’ve been pestering Louis all these years and even threatened him with the company’s future tomarry you? But what happened in the end? If it’s not meant to be, you can’t force it. You were about tomarry hit, but he still abandoned you at the altar!”

Cindy thought that she was rubbing salt in Rachel’s wound. Little did Cindy know that when Louis.abandoned Rachel and Rachel broke up with him, this relationship was already dead in Rachel’s eyes.

Sc um bags were just like trash. Why would Rachel take Louis seriously?

Why would Rachel still be hung up on Louis?

Rachel sighed faintly. She held her forehead and looked down at Cindy, who had a provocativeexpression.

What should she do to accurately convey to everyone that Louis was meaningless to her?

“Since this is a charity auction, everyone is just doing their best to contribute. Is Miss Tory all worked upbecause her wallet is empty?” Rachel asked.

Cindy’s face turned red.

The auction was more than halfway through. Most people had bought a few things, but Cindy had notpaid a single cent.

Cindy blushed in embarrassment and glared at Rachel.

Cindy initially wanted to embarrass Rachel in public, but she did not expect to be exposed by Rachel.

At this moment, she really wanted to tear Rachel’s mouth apart.

Rachel’s red lips curled up into a bright and moving smile. “If you don’t have money, shut up. No onewill pay to see you embarrass yourself, and even if they did, it wouldn’t be a huge amount.”

Then, Rachel ignored Cindy’s glare and looked at Louis, “Mr. Smith, 4 million dollars. Are you going tocontinue bidding?”

At this point, everyone’s eyes were on Louis. He had no way out.

He gritted his teeth and raised the number sign. “6 million dollars!”

“Louis!” Olivia looked at Louis in surprise.

Olivia thought that Louis would back off and did not expect him to yell out 6 million dollars!

He was going to spend 6 million dollars on just a diamond ring for her. This would definitely be in theheadlines tomorrow.

Rachel raised her eyebrow. “Looks like Mr. Smith is determined to get this ring. Although I still havesome money to spare, 6 million dollars for a diamond ring is too much for me, so I’m withdrawing fromthis bid.”

“I admire Mr. Smith’s strong support for philanthropy, I also wish him success. I think everyone hereshould applaud and congratulate Mr. Smith.”

Rachel took the lead in clapping. Spa rse applause came from below the stage, but gradually,thunderous. applause filled the entire hall.
