Chapter 1178 That's an Honor
In a second, multiple thoughts rushed through Lynette's mind. Eric clearly spotted the
change in her expression and cast a different look at Jenny.
The auction started. Someone bid for the ruby pendant, but not for much. There was no
reason to keep the pendant in the auction since Jenny had intended to look for Lynette
with the pendant, but Lynette was right there in front of her. So, she decided to take back
the ruby pendant by bidding for it.
"Five million." Jenny raised her auction paddle. The people around her understood her
intention and let her have her way. They did not want to get on the wrong side of a Bardoff
City family.
Just when Jenny was expecting to retrieve the ruby pendant, Eric raised his auction paddle
from the front row. "Ten million."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was a collective gasp because no one had expected Eric to express interest in the
pendant. He spun around and looked at Jenny. "I'm sorry, Miss Walter. My wife loves the
ruby pendant."
"Is that so? That's an honor, but it's an item that my mom left behind for me. If possible,
I'd like to have it back." With that, she raised her paddle and pushed the bid up to 15
million dollars. By saying that, she informed Eric of her identity. She knew he was not
dumb, and he would figure out her identity by now.
Before this, she had doubts about the claims of a bad relationship between Lynette and
Eric. By now, she was confident that there were no feelings of love between the two.
Lynette feared Eric, and he was driven by a sickly urge to possess her. She decided that
she'd bring Lynette with her.
"20 million." Eric engaged in a battle with her. She smiled and offered 30 million, but he
doggedly outbid her.
Feeling defeated, she said to Eric, "Mr. Dafoe, why don't you offer 100 million dollars if you
can afford it? I'll give up if you do so. Otherwise, keeping up this bidding war is a waste of
time." She made it clear-if Eric could not afford to offer 100 million dollars, he shouldn't
waste his time bidding because she was more than capable of offering that figure.
"If so, I shall grant your wish." He scoffed and lifted his paddle. "100 million! 11
Everyone gasped again. No one had expected the unassuming ruby pendant to be the
item that was auctioned off at the highest price in this event. More than that, they were
curious about Eric's feelings for Lynette.
Rumors had it that the couple were not close. Someone even claimed that Eric physically
abused her at home. But if the couple were on bad terms, why would Eric spend 100
million dollars on an item Lynette loved?
Lynette had no idea what was going on in the mind of others. If she knew, she would scoff
and spit on their rosy take. Others might not understand Eric's motive, but she knew he

Eric knew about Jenny's identity, and he naturally noticed Graham, who was right beside
Jenny. Of course, he would not admit defeat in front of his wife's ex-lover.
Lynette and Graham exchanged glances. The last time they looked at each other was
decades ago. They were no longer a young man and young lady, but they confirmed their
feelings for each other after the look. Falling for each other again after many years-that
was the definition of true love.
"Congratulations, Mr. Dafoe! The ruby pendant is yours." Jenny gave up on the bidding
war. "I've long heard that the wealth of the Dafoes from Bayside City could rival that of a
nation's riches. The rumors are true!"
She had poured over the information sent by Zack, from which she learned the prowess of
the Dafoes. But she was not going to back down.
