I watched Matt's retreating figure and thought, Matt, you were the one who wronged me first. Whatever I do, it's your retribution.

I sent a message to Monica.

"Monica, the plan can be carried out."

Soon, the auction banquet officially started.

The first pair of golden ruby earrings were quite good, so I purchased them.

Matt cast a contemptuous look at me from afar.

One by one, the items were presented, but there were no major surprises.

Until the last item, an imperial green bracelet was presented, which surprised everyone here.

After all, this imperial green bracelet was a collectible.

It was also a treasured possession of Jane's family before they went bankrupt.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone has witnessed the quality of this imperial green bracelet. I won't be long-winded. Bidding starts at 3 million," the auctioneer announced.

"I bid 3.2 million," Matt was the first to bid.

I quickly followed with a bid of 4 million.

Matt shot me a resentful look, but I nonchalantly smiled.

Matt then bid 4.2 million, and I knew this was his bottom line.

But I continued bidding without a care, "5 million." I knew Matt would surely bid again.

After all, I had seen firsthand the crazy things he had done due to his love for Jane.

Matt, Jacob, and Jane grew up together. Jacob was two years older than Matt and Jane, but that didn't stop the three of them from getting along well.

At that time, the Scott family was still a medium-sized enterprise and had a partnership with the Adler family.

Both Jacob and Matt fell in love with the lively Jane, and the two even had a big fight over her.

In the end, Jacob won Jane's heart.

Shortly after, Jane's family went bankrupt, and it was absorbed by the Scott family.

Jane was sent abroad by Ben, and they were not allowed to see her.

Now that Jane had returned, maintaining an ambiguous relationship with Matt meant she must obtain something.

And now that the thing had been delivered to her doorstep, I didn't believe Jane would let it go.

Sure enough, when Matt saw Jane, with red eyes and on the brink of tears, he once again shouted out a bid of 5.2 million.

I did not continue bidding, watching Matt look happily at Jane with a silly smile.

It reminded me of three years ago, when Matt bought me a Hermes bag during our vacation in the Maldives and looked at me in the same silly way.

I touched my abdomen and thought, My task for today is complete.
