Chapter 1457: Chapter 1457: No One Can Take It Away
Because, she trusts Justin Battleson.
However, upon hearing Charlotte Thompson’s words, Justin Battleson shook his head.
Justin Battleson took Charlotte Thompson’s hand and brought it to his lips, gently planting a kiss in her palm.
"I’ve only just caught you, how could I possibly let go?"
Justin Battleson’s voice was gentle, yet his eyes were full of passionate love, making Charlotte Thompson’s heart tremble.
"Stop it, let go, so many people are watching."
Feeling the eyes around her, Charlotte Thompson felt a bit embarrassed and tried to withdraw her hand, but Justin Battleson had no intention of letting go.
Instead, Justin Battleson’s fingertips slowly slid down, dominantly entwining with Charlotte Thompson’s fingers.
"It’s best they all watch, to prove I belong to you, and no one can take that away."
Charlotte Thompson gave him a playful glare.
"Who cares about you."
Though she said this, the corners of Charlotte Thompson’s lips gently curved into a smile.
Justin Battleson looked at Charlotte Thompson with extreme tenderness, but when she wasn’t paying attention, he lifted his gaze, and the tenderness in his eyes instantly turned to indifference.
He looked around, making those with ill intentions look away.
Soon, the auction was about to begin, and Justin Battleson and Charlotte Thompson went into the venue.
The auction hall was very quiet, with only occasional whispers.
Charlotte Thompson looked down at the number placed on her seat, but her mind was on all the items that would appear at today’s auction.
"What was the last item again..."
As Charlotte Thompson furrowed her brow in thought, footsteps sounded on the auction stage, and when she looked up, the auctioneer had already brought the first item onto the stage.
The first item was a Ruby ring, the final work of a renowned designer.
Although the event was labeled an auction, it was essentially a charity donation from everyone present.
Of course, Charlotte Thompson intended to participate as well; she was thinking about the items to find one that interested her to bid on.
After several rounds of bidding, the Ruby ring was bought by a wealthy businessman.
Next, various jewelry pieces were brought up for auction, all from famous designers, so they fetched quite considerable prices.
"Thirty-nine million eight hundred thousand, sold!"
The auctioneer struck the final bid, and everyone’s eyes turned to the person who successfully bid on the jade bracelet.
Charlotte Thompson naturally looked over and found that the person was indeed Campbell Prickly.
At this moment, he seemed to turn and say something to Annie Anne beside him, making a surprised expression appear on Annie Anne’s face.
But this interaction, seen by Charlotte Thompson, made her slightly furrow her brow.
Had Annie Anne and Campbell Prickly gotten that close?
As Charlotte Thompson was lost in thought, the auctioneer’s voice softly came:
"The next item is designed by Miss Joy, named ’Tears of a Lover.’
Suddenly hearing her name, Charlotte Thompson blinked and raised her head, meeting the auctioneer’s smiling gaze.
And at this moment, beside him was the necklace Charlotte Thompson had designed earlier.
