Chapter 14
Jonas stood next to Rosalind and looked at Rosalind, who looked even more glamorous after putting on the Pink Star He was in a good mood.
Hearing Jonas‘ wants, everyone was shocked.
“That’s the Pink Starl it’s precious. Isn’t it for auction? How can he give it to her?
“Doesn’t Mr. Macaulay think he’s too capricious?”
“Yeah, I’m here for the Pink Star, If it is not for auction, why should I be here?”
“Oh, Mr. Macaulay just wanted to please Ms. Amanda, I hate them…
“I’m so envious of Ms. Amanda, Mr. Macaulay is so in love with herTM
“Yeah. If only I could have such a boyfriend..”
“Mr. Macaulay, I love you..”
There were complaints and envious opinions from the audience, which brought Rosalind to the forefront of public attention.
“What are you doing?” grunted Rosalind.
Noticing that all the eyes of the audience were on her and Jonas, Rosalind glared at Jonas and thought, “What the hell is he doing? it’s for auction How could he say that? It’s embarrassing”
Rosalind knew that many people who came to the charity auction today were coming for the Pink Star, if Jonas arbitrarily interrupted the auction of the necklace, prople would hate her
Thinking of this, Rosalind shivered. She didn’t want to be involved in trouble.
Rosalind glared at Jonas again, motioned the hostess to take down the Pink Star from her neck, and smiled at the audience.
Rosalind began, “Well, Mr. Macaulay was just joking. Since the Pink Star has been shown to everyone, let’s start bidding now! Good luck, everyone!”
Rosalind’s humor entertained the audience and convinced them that Jonas was just joking.
After saying that, Rosalind pulled Jonas off the stage, ignoring the surprised faces of the audience.
Leonardo glared at the hands of Rosalind and Jonas holding each other tightly. If his gaze were a knife, the hands of Rosalind and Jonas would have
been cut oft
The emcee walked onto the stage again and announced the start of the bidding. The starting price was 2 million dollars.
Many people who came for the Pink Star raised their bidding cards.
“4 million dollars!”
“6 million dollars!”
“7 million dollars!”

“Is this necklace that expensive? Are they crazy?” murmured Rosalind.
“Don’t you think it’s beautiful? Jonas asked Rosalind with a smile as he didn’t think there was anything wrong with the price.
“It’s beautiful, but the price does shock mel” Rosalind pouted.
Since the Jansen family went bankrupt five years ago, Rosalind had lived a quite stratened life.
Rosalind received help from Lyle when she was abroad, but she was still mostly on her own when it came to money. Therefore, although Rosalind wasn’t strapped for cash, she was still careful with her money.
So for Rosalind, she wouldn’t spend so much money on a piece of jewelry unless it was necessary
This was to extravagant for her.
“It’s worth whatever it takes to make you smile!” Jonas chuckled suddenly
Alter saying that, Jonas raised the bidding card in his hand and called out loudly, “10 million dollars!”
Everyone was shocked at
“Mr. Macaulay, aren’t the Macaulay ly the host of this charity auction? Why are you participating in the auction?” asked someone
“That’s right. Mc Macaulay, you’re not doing this to raise the price of this necklace, are you?”
“Aged”

announced, “I’m sorry, everyone. Indeed, the Pink Star was donated by my grandma, but now I want to buy the Pink Star and give it to a beautiful lady to express my heart. Anyway, it’s about charity no matter who purchases this necklace.”
“Mr. Macaulay, you are frank. So who is this beautiful lady you are going to give the necklace to?”
Hearing this, everyone tumed to look at Rosalind
The gossip started again.
Rosalind blushed as she felt the passionate and curious stares of the audience. She didn’t understand why all these people were staring at her.
Among all the eyes, there were two strange ones. One was Virginia’s stare full of jealousy, the other was Leonardo’s cold gare.
Leonardo didn’t say a word. He stared at Rosalind as if he wanted to devour her.
Rosalind suddenly felt a bit chill as if someone was staring at her maliciously, which made her shiver
Looking in the direction of Leonardo, Rosalind was immediately frightened by the coldness in Leonardo’s eyes. When Leonardo’s eyes met Rosalind’s, Rosalind was confused by the mixed emotions in Leonardo’s co.
She thought, “Why is Leonardo looking at me like that? Did I offend him? He’s looking at me like I’m a thief”
Rosalind leaned against the back of her chair so that Jonas tall frame blocked Leonardo’s gaze.
Jonas went on, “Of course, IN..
Jonas turned to look at Rosalind and wanted to say what he was thinking, but Rosalind pinched him hard. He immediately stopped talking in pain.
Rosalind threatened. “Just keep saying that if you want me to hate you!”
Rosalind’s voice was so low that only Jonas and she could hear it.
But the anger in Rosalind’s eyes was real
What Rosalind wanted was to attend the charity banquet quietly instead of being in the limelight or on tomorrow’s trending topics.
Jonas grinned, “Well, as you wish. But like I said, I’m gonna start pursuing you as of tomorrow!”
Looking at Rosalind’s angry face, Jonas was inexplicably in a good mood. No matter what he said before, Rosalind was always calm. He preferred Rosalind’s angry look to her courteous, indiferent, and detached one.
“You don’t have to waste your time. I’m not into a relationship!” Rosalind refused firmly
In the past, Rosalind might have longed for love, so she desperately abandoned herself to pursue so– called true love. Unfortunately, her bravery in chasing love was in vain, and it even hurt her family
