Nathan's expression was dark.
Isabella gave a faint smile. These people with their narrow- minded views, didn’t they understand the saying
“thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side”?
To cover up her own hesitation, she carefully organized her words: “I'm not an expert on fashion, but
coincidentally, | do know a bit about this necklace. What Miss Victoria said is both right and wrong. It's true that
this was a gift from Her Majesty the Queen to her daughter, but it does not symbolize power. It symbolizes a
lifetof love. It's Her Majesty’s most beautiful blessing to her daughter.”
“Isabella, how do you know the meaning of this necklace? The Queen is a woman of great ambition; how could
she be bound by trivial love? | think you've probably made up this meaning yourself to steal the spotlight,”
Victoria's friend stood up, challenging her.
Isabella remained calm and composed. “The necklace is surrounded by two cherry blossoms, one large and one
small. The language of cherry blossoms is ‘a lifetof love for only you.“”
The host was stunned. “Ah, indeed, there are two cherry blossoms, one large and one small.”.

The applause from the audience was deafening.

Victoria's friend was livid, her face turning ashen.
Isabella turned around and gave her a mocking smile. “You're wrong. The flower language here doesn’t represent
love, but maternal love. It's Her Majesty's deep love for her daughter.”
Instantly, the applause grew louder.
Many young heirs and heiresses from prestigious families raised their paddles, eager to buy the necklace. After
all, what better way to please one’s mother than with such a meaningful gift?
Victoria's face darkened.
Meanwhile, Nathan stared at Isabella’s back, lost in thought. He didn’t know that Isabella had such a bright side
to her.
The next item for auction was a bracelet.
The host began the bidding at 3,000, only to be met with bursts of laughter from the audience.
But then, Isabella raised her hand. “I'll take it.”
Whispers circulated: “The least favored daughter-in-law of the Hill family, coming from a poor background,
obviously can’t afford anything good. This bracelet, at most, suits her.”
The host called out, “3,000 once, 3,000 twice...”
Suddenly, Theodore raised his paddle. “I bid 5,200.”
Isabella stared at him in confusion, silently asking: Why are you competing with me?

Theodore winked at her, silently mouthing, “If you like it, I'll buy it for you.”

The audience was bewildered. “What's so special about this bracelet? Why are they both fighting so hard for it?”
Isabella sighed and chose to give up..
Theodore won the bracelet.
The host asked him, “Young Master Sanchez, why are you so attached to this bracelet? It seems like such a
simple item.”
Theodore replied, “You just don’t recognize quality. This bracelet is made from flowers, and I'm buying it for my
dear Sis. | want her life to be free of worries.”
The audience suddenly understood and sighed in admiration.
“Such a beautiful meaning... | wish | had bid for it too.”
Isabella smiled faintly, her gaze soft as she looked at Theodore. Her eyes grew inexplicably moist
As the auction reached its climax, Isabella felt herself growing tired.
Until the host's voice rang out: “The next item for auction is The City of Cycles...”
Suddenly, all her drowsiness disappeared, and her face turned as pale as paper.
