218 Chapter 218: Caleb Lockwood Two–Timing

218 Chapter 218: Caleb Lockwood Two–Timing

Aaron Linton and Jade Shaw were immediately surprised by Lilian Young’s words.

“Your son is too kind, no need to be so extravagant.”

Aaron Linton said to Lilian Young.

Lilian Young nced at Caleb Lockwood,

Caleb Lockwood’s expression was emotionless, as if he hadn’t heard them at all.

In fact, Lilian Young wasn’t sure why Caleb Lockwood had bid so high for the jewelry designed by Serena Jennings.

Caleb Lockwood had no use for this golden phoenix tailb.

If he was willing to spend so much, it was definitely to give to a woman he liked.

The first person that came to Lilian Young’s mind was ire Shaw.

After all, ire Shaw was Caleb Lockwood’s first love, and since returning to the country, Caleb had taken great care of her.

However, recently it was visible that Caleb had been more indifferent to ire Shaw.

Otherwise, Caleb wouldn’t have agreed to meet and discuss business with the Linton Family.

On the surface, the Lockwoods and the Lintons had a project to discuss.

But Caleb, cunning as he was, must have realized they were trying to set him up with Wendy Linton.

Previously, wherever Caleb went, ire Shaw was always by his side.

Yet, for this charity g, Caleb never mentioned bringing ire along. fn7ae8 Read full story at fι?dnοvel/fn7ae8

Thinking it over, the only other person Lilian Young could imagine was Wendy Linton.

After all, Caleb was sensible and understood the pros and cons.

In the current circumstances, spending a high amount on jewelry for Wendy would not only win her favor but also earn praise from

Aaron Linton and Jade Shaw.

The more Lilian Young thought about it, the more it seemed like the truth.

At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel gratified. Caleb was indeed the Lockwood heir, knowing how to please Wendy without

needing their guidance.

Caleb’s offer of fifty million US dors deterred all other bidders, including Prince William.

“Idol, are you okay?”

Prince William cautiously noticed the serious expression on Serena Jennings’s face after Caleb said fifty million.

“It’s nothing.” Serena shook her head.

Sitting next to Serena, Peter also noticed the change in her expression.

He surmised Serena didn’t want her meticulously designedb to end up in Caleb’s hands.

Especially since…

Peter nced at the neighboring table.

At that table, aside from Caleb, who was expressionless, everyone else was chatting andughing.

Therefore, if Caleb was bidding such a high price for thisb, it was likely for the Linton family’s youngdy!

“Fifty–one million.”

Suddenly, from a table at the back, a man’s familiar voice reached Serena’s ears.

Serena instinctively turned her head to see the man standing, casually walking forward.

In the dimly lit banquet hall, it wasn’t until he reached the front row that Serena clearly saw his face.

The man wore a royal blue suit, was tall and broad, with high cheekbones framed by gold–rimmed sses, with narrow eyes smiling

Nheless, Serena now described this aura with an idiom-

“Gentlemanly scoundrel.”

“What are you doing here?”

Serena asked in surprise.

Ian ckwood adjusted his gold–rimmed sses, leaned in and whispered to Serena:

“Here to cheer you on.”

Serena blinked as Ian had a chair brought over and then sat beside her, as if he naturally belonged there.

With an extra person at the table, it instantly became crowded.

It had been some time since Serenast sawn.

She hadn’t expectedn to also be at this charity auction.

Sitting close to Serena,n seemed like he wanted to say something to her.

But not now.

“Sixty million.”

At the neighboring table, Caleb bid again, his tone nonchnt.

“Caleb…“–

218 Chapter 218: Caleb Lockwood Two–Timing

Arthur Lockwood tried to stop Caleb.

No matter how much he wanted to impress the Linton family, spending sixty million on ab was excessive.

That was sixty million US dors.

Enough to invest in several mid–sized projects or onerge one.

Nheless, despite Arthur’s attempts, Caleb seemed oblivious.

Bidding at the level of sixty million had piqued the curiosity of many guests.

Although Serena’sb design was exquisite and innovative, and crafted from precious metals and gemstones,

it was, after all, just ab, a piece of jewelry.

Not a rare original by Da Vinci or Van Gogh.

Even antiques don’t all reach such prices.

Moreover, for Caleb, thisb wasn’t of great functional or collectible value.

Caleb’s willingness to make such arge expenditure was evidently to win a woman’s favor.

So, who was the woman?

Guests began whispering among themselves.

Serena had already guessed Caleb wanted her design to gift to Wendy.

But Caleb’s willingness to spend such a fortune on Wendy still astonished her.

If she remembered correctly, Caleb once acquired a ssic pink diamond ne, one of only ten globally, for ire.

For the average wealthy person, that ne wasn’t cheap either; back then, it seemed Caleb was splurging for his first love.

Yet that ne was far from the magnitude of sixty million US dors.

Even for Lance Lockwood’s birthday, the watch Caleb gifted was merely thirty million.

If someone said Caleb bid sixty million for ire, she would believe it.

But if they said it was for Wendy, she would be skeptical.

Serena’s gaze unconsciously drifted to the adjacent table.

She was truly curious how far Caleb and Wendy had progressed.

If Caleb was already pursuing Wendy, did that mean ire was abandoned?

Yet Caleb was still supporting ire’spany, which puzzled Serena.

Surely Caleb wasn’t two–timing?

While mulling this over, Serena heard Ian from beside her:

218 Chapter 218: Caleb Lockwood Two–Timing

“Sixty–one million.”

Serena’s eyes widened atn.

“Once the bid is epted, you have to pay up.”

Serena softly remindedn.

Caleb at least had a reason to bid, but whyn?

Serena recalled thatn and Caleb had been rivals since their student days.

Wasn really willing to spend sixty–one million just to antagonize Caleb…

Serena couldn’t wrap her head around Ian’s logic.

At the neighboring table, seeing Serena whisper ton, Caleb’s eyes darkened.

“Seventy million.”

“Caleb, you can’t keep this up.”

Arthur Lockwood couldn’t help but caution.

“Seventy–one million.”

Ian turned to look at Caleb, adjusting his gold–rimmed sses.

Sensing the gaze, Caleb also nced over.

Compared to Ian’s smiling face, Caleb looked frozen with cold.

“Eighty million.”

“Eighty–one million.”

“Ny million.”

“Ny–one million.”
