Ranita lowered her eyelids, feeling a tingling sensation in the back of her head. "Mr. Stuart?"

"What did you say to Chris?" Brendon's question caught Ranita off guard. He rarely asked such questions before or even cared about who she talked to.

"Is there a problem, Mr. Stuart?" Ranita tried to brush it off, but Brendon pressed on with another question, "Can't you tell me?"

Ranita was speechless.

"It's not easy to explain." She casually replied and was about to create some distance between them when someone suddenly bumped into her from behind. She instinctively dodged but accidentally hit her forehead against Brendon's head.

It was just a light bump, but like a chain reaction in chemistry experiments, both of them quickly stepped back due to the heat generated by their contact.

"Be careful!" Chris promptly held onto Ranita's shoulder. "Don't fall!"

Ranita smiled at Chris gratefully but felt as if she had lost all energy suddenly; everything seemed barren now that Brendon didn't like her after all.

Next door Shannon lightly grabbed onto Brendon's arm, "Are you okay?"

Brendon looked at Ranita heavily for a moment; his cheeks began hurting suddenly - damn this woman! Did she hate him so much that she avoided him even when they touched?

He was angry!

"I'm fine," he responded indifferently and withdrew his gaze from Ranita before turning towards Shannon again.

"If you like this necklace," he said while pointing towards the blue sapphire necklace on display earlier, "I'll buy it for you."

"Thank you so much, Brendon!" Shannon sweetly replied while sneakily glancing over at Ranita out of the corner of her eye - challenging expression playing across her lips.

Ranitia was also very angry!

"Mr. Webster," she said firmly while staring directly into his eyes, "buy me that necklace no matter how much it costs!"

From then on, Brendon and Chris started bidding crazily for the twelfth blue sapphire necklace. After surpassing 3 million dollars, everyone thought these two were crazy.

The base price for this blue sapphire necklace was indeed affordable, but exceeding 2 million was already too high. Now, it had exceeded 3. 8 million dollars...

"Brendon, can you give me this necklace?" Chris said, even though he didn't need the money. He was helping Ranita with the auction and didn't want to spend too much on it.

"Shannon likes this necklace, so I'll buy it for her no matter how much it costs," Brendon replied calmly. Chris couldn't help but laugh at Brendon's stubbornness - he was clearly being petty!

"What about you, Chris? Who were you planning on buying it for?" With Chris' mother gone and no girlfriend in sight, Brendon guessed that Chris was going to buy it for Ranita.

But how could he let that happen!?

The bidding became more intense than ever before.

When Chris was about to make his final bid, Ranita grabbed his arm and stopped him. In the end, Brendon won the auction with a bid of 6. 8 million dollars and gave the necklace to Shannon.

"Thank you so much, Brendon!" Shannon accepted warm applause from everyone present before boldly kissing him on the cheek!

The atmosphere reached its peak as everyone cheered loudly.
