Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 199 Wanting to Please Her

Eva did not respond to his words. After about ten seconds, David awkwardly touched his nose. Perhaps he had been too relaxed during their conversation, which caused him to speak those words casually.

Just thinking about what he had just said, David regretted it. Fortunately, a few minutes later, Eva broke the awkwardness and silence on her own. "David, please bid on the next item for me."

"The next one?" David immediately flipped open his notebook and saw that the next item was a translucent bracelet.

"Ms. Hansen likes this?" David clearly hadn't prepared in advance.

After all, he had never heard of Eva liking jade accessories before. But luckily, Mr. Cooper had instructed him beforehand that if Eva took a liking to something during the process, he should help her bid on it, no matter the price, and charge it to his account.

Eva smiled without saying a word.

"Alright, I understand."

When the next item came up, David nervously sat up straight, as if the next auction item was the grand finale of tonight's event.

Seeing his composed appearance, Eva reminded him, "Don't bid yet, wait for everyone else to make their bids first." David nodded vigorously.

The bidding in the room was incessant. Soon, the price of the jade bracelet was raised to 30 million dollars.

As the bidding reached 35 million dollars, there were only two bidders left. Eva glanced at David and signaled that he could stop.

David nodded and was about to raise his paddle and shout out the bid. "40 million dollars."

Suddenly, someone in the VIP area ahead of David made a bid before him. David had also planned to bid 40 million dollars, but someone had beaten him to it. After thinking for a moment, influenced by his time spent with Michael, he boldly continued with his bid.

"45 million dollars." Even before Eva, who was sitting beside him, could speak, he made the bid. Her lips moved slightly as she saw David's determined manner. She pondered for a moment and fell silent.

Vivian had just finished bidding when unexpectedly someone else continued the bidding. In fact, she hadn't planned to bid on anything today, but after coming in with Adrian, she noticed many people glancing in this direction. She couldn't miss this rare opportunity to shine in front of Adrian, so how could she let it slip away? Besides, as long as it was a competitive item, Adrian wouldn't say anything to her.

With this in mind, Vivian glanced over at Adrian. He was looking down, casually playing with his phone, seemingly uninterested in her bidding at all. Vivian breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't react, it meant he didn't mind. T hinking this, Vivian eased her mind and continued bidding.

"45 million dollars. Miss Morrison has bid 45.5 million dollars. Looks like she is determined to win this jade bracelet tonight."

When Eva heard Miss Morrison's name, she paused and looked towards the VIP area. However, the VIP area was separate, and she couldn't see anything from her position.

45.5 million dollars had already exceeded her psychological limit.

She tapped David on the shoulder. "No need to bid anymore, David."

Hearing this, David looked at her in surprise. "Ms. Hansen, you don't want it anymore? You finally found something you liked."

"It's beyond my price range, no need." Her initial psychological limit was within 40 million dollars.

If she couldn't get it within that range, she would give it to someone else.

"But..." David hesitated and said, "Mr. Cooper instructed me that if you found something you liked, no matter how much it cost, we should acquire it."

Eva was about to say that she didn't need to treat his words like a royal decree when she saw David raise his paddle again. "50 million dollars."

50 million dollars might not be a significant amount for a big family, but Vivian didn't expect someone would compete with her up to this price for the jade bracelet, especially since she was here with Adrian.

At least out of respect for him, the people present wouldn't try to outbid her. But it seemed that she was still being underestimated. Realizing this, Vivian bit her lip and said, "55 million dollars."

David immediately followed. "60 million dollars."

Eva thought to herself, she was wrong. She shouldn't have shown that she liked this item.

Murmurs spread through the audience. They probably didn't expect a jade bracelet to elicit such high bids. Now that it had reached 60 million dollars, Vivian could only bite her lip and continue raising her paddle. "65 million dollars."

David was about to raise his paddle again when Eva grabbed his hand to stop him.

"That's enough, David."

"But Ms. Hansen, Mr. Cooper instructed..."

Eva calmly looked at him. "I'm no longer interested in this bracelet. Are you sure you want to bid on something I don't like?"

"Can you give me something nice to cheer me up?" Upon hearing this, David was taken aback.

Although she wanted to please Eva on behalf of Mr. Cooper, the situation now was different. Michael was not around, and if he insisted and ended up offending Eva, it would do more harm than good.

After careful consideration, David decided to give up. "Alright, Ms. Hansen. But if you replace something else later, be sure to let me know."

Eva pursed her lips and nodded. However, David felt that even if she found something else, she wouldn't show it anymore.

David thought, It was unexpectedly difficult to please a woman, and he wondered how Mr. Cooper had managed it all these years.

Vivian bought the jade bracelet for 65 million US dollars.

The hushed whispers around her made her hold her head high. With a price tag of 65 million US dollars, she had already grabbed the limelight today.

Tomorrow, everyone would know that she had accompanied Adrian to the charity auction and purchased the jade bracelet for 65 million US dollars. Although it was her bid, the media would surely spin it as Adrian gifting it to her. Such attention was advantageous for the Morrison family as well. The auction continued with the bidding of other items.

The organizers of this auction knew how to build up the excitement. Just as everyone's enthusiasm was waning, they brought out another exquisite piece. As a result, the excitement in the venue not only didn't fade away but intensified. The anticipation for the grand finale item began. David flipped through the notebook in his hand and said, "There are two more items left."

Eva finally understood what he meant and asked, "Are they conservatively valued?"

David nodded solemnly. "Initially, they were conservatively estimated at six billion dollars, but..." He scanned the venue. "There are too many people here today. That estimate probably won't hold, we'll have to raise it."

Eva also turned her gaze around. Many people sat up straight, clearly prepared for this. She nodded in understanding. "After all, it's a unique item, rare indeed."
