It'll Come Naturally

Edward said nothing and looked at her quietly. Finally, he sighed and embraced her. For a woman with a strong personality and identity like Daisy, he could do nothing about it.

"Is this important to you?" Edward murmured, keeping his eyes on the necklace that Daisy was looking at. He wondered what the necklace meant to Daisy.

"Yes. It belonged to my mother before. I have to get it back." Daisy had a determined look on her face. She had to get the necklace back at all costs.

"What? This was your mother's necklace? How did it end up at the auction?" Edward started to take the auction seriously, and his gaze becoming sharp.

"I don't know. It disappeared with my mother's death. I didn't expect to see it here. I've never thought I'd ever see it again."

Daisy's lips curled upward, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

"Don't worry. I'm here." Since it was his mother-in-law's legacy, he would definitely get the necklace for Daisy. After all, it was the first time she asked him for something.

"Well..." Daisy opened her mouth to thank him. But remembering Edward's anger, she swallowed back the words. When Edward said "I'm here," Daisy was deeply touched. In many cases, the most touching words weren't "love you" or "together", but "I'm here."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're now going to bid for a precious item from an imperial concubine in the Qing Dynasty. Look carefully, it has a high collection value that ordinary treasures do not compare with. It also has a sad but beautiful name, 'A Beauty's Tears of Blood."

The host deliberately paused to add suspense and arouse the audience's interest. Looking at the audience's excitement, the host continued, "This is the most precious item for the auction, so there's no

need to mention how expensive it is. Its starting price will be much higher than the rest."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the guests immediately got excited. Everyone wanted to know how expensive the item was.

"Alright, please calm down. Now, the hostess will show you the item." The host waved his hand, signalling for silence.

As the guzheng music slowly played, an extremely attractive hostess appeared onstage in an evening gown. The moment she came into view, everyone was fascinated by the necklace on her neck.

No words could be used to describe the beauty of the necklace. It was a string of bright tourmalines, with a blood-red transparent crystal in the shape of a teardrop at the bottom, which clung to the model's white skin like the tears of blood shed by a beauty. The blood-red jewel sparkled brightly like a beautiful sunset, giving the impression that your hand would be stained with blood if you touched it. It was so beautiful that it made you not able to take eyes off it and made you feel thrilled.

Illuminated by the lights, the sparkling teardrop crystal resembled flowing blood. The necklace was even more beautiful and striking in contrast to the model's white skin. The entire room collectively held their breaths, no one daring to make a sound. Everyone was captivated by the enchanting sight.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Daisy grasped Edward's sleeve tightly. She got anxious that the necklace would be purchased by someone else.

Frowning slightly, Edward took her hand quietly. He glanced at the audience with a wicked grin that was just as captivating as the necklace.

"All right, the auction will begin now. The starting price for the item is 10 million. Let's see who will get it." As soon as guzheng music stopped, the host's voice filled the room. What a high starting price!

"20 million."

"25 million."

"27 million."

The temperature in the room rose, everyone eager to get the necklace. The price kept soaring as everyone made their bids on the rare treasure. Everyone wanted to know who would acquire the treasure in the end.

As the price continued to rise, Daisy started to get worried. She couldn't help but look at Edward, who looked relaxed throughout the whole process. "We're not bidding?"

"Don't worry. After everyone bids, we'll place a bid. It won't be too late." Edward gave her a reassuring smile, glancing at the bidders with a sneer in his eyes.

The price was already high, but people kept raising it. Either these guys were rich or they were coerced by their wives. Otherwise, why would they keep bidding? Perhaps they had made a lot of money from cooperating with the FX International Group. In that case, he would be happy to raise the price of the cooperation plan by one percent to see if they still had the extra money to purchase the luxury goods.

"The necklace is already very expensive. Why do they keep raising the price? This necklace is special to me, but it's just a luxury item to them."

Daisy got increasingly nervous when the price reached 80 million. She told Edward that she would pay him back for the necklace, but her savings were less than a million. Who knows how she would pay him back?

"People can be very stubborn with the things they can't get. It's been like that since ancient times, it can't be changed. That's human nature."

As Edward spoke, he quickly tapped on the screen with his fingers, sending a string of numbers that Daisy couldn't understand. His strange behavior puzzled Daisy.

"Look up." Edward smiled gently, gesturing to the screen above the host.

"What do you mean?" Daisy got even more confused. She had no idea what the numbers on the screen meant.

Edward chuckled. "The host will understand." That was one of the privileges of being in a private room, your bid would be sent out with a mere tap of your finger.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the price has reached 100 million already. Mr. Mu said that no matter what price you give, he will add one dollar to it."

As soon as the host finished speaking, everyone began to talk. Everyone who knew the rules here turned their eyes to the room. It turned out that Mr. Mu wanted to buy the necklace too, that meant he would definitely get it in the end. But no one knew for whom Edward would spend so much money on the necklace.

"One dollar?" Daisy didn't comment any further but rolled her eyes. How could he say that? People would be upset at his words. No matter what the final price would be, he would win the auction for a single extra dollar, while everyone missed the opportunity due to this. This man was really wicked.

"Yes! One dollar. Silly girl, this is the best way to win. No one would dare to raise the price once they see my bid."

Edward drummed his slender fingers on his thigh, wearing a mocking sneer on his face. He wanted to see who didn't want to continue cooperating with the FX International Group in the future.

"Why?" Although Daisy knew that they couldn't be seen from the outside, she still felt uncomfortable to be under everyone's attention. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"It's a secret business strategy. If you want to know, pay me for lessons. I'll consider teaching you." Edward repeated Daisy's earlier words from this morning, not caring about the commotion he had caused.

"I don't want to know. I just want to get my mother's necklace back. If you can't do that, you're sleeping in the study tonight." Daisy smiled smugly. Since Edward wanted her to exercise the privileges of being his wife, she didn't mind taking advantage of them.

"If that's what you want, I don't mind." Edward frowned at the host. 'Why hasn't he started the bid? It's been a long time.'

"100, 000, 001, going once. Does anyone want to raise the price?" The host was also shocked by Edward's unconventional move. He wanted to pretend that he didn't understand what the numbers sent by him meant. That way, the price would continue to rise, and he could get more commission. Now because of that extra dollar, no one was interested in the necklace anymore.

"You really aren't worried about how that's gonna make you look?" Despite her words, Daisy felt very happy. After all, she would get back her mother's necklace that had been missing for years. This would be the first time she would possess something that belonged to her mother. How could she remain calm?

"Don't underestimate the power of one dollar. Even a single dollar in bids may reverse the whole situation." As a business genius, Edward knew this very well. This was why he won most cases. After all, no one could compare to him in wisdom and wealth.

"100, 000, 001, going twice. Ladies and gentlemen, does anyone want to raise the bid?" As the host spoke, he knew that the price wouldn't go up anymore. But he still hoped that there would be one or

two people daring to set themselves against FX International Group, so the price might increase.

"100, 000, 001, going thrice. Sold! 'A Beauty's Tears of Blood' now belongs to Mr. Edward Mu of the FX International Group." After the host's announcement, Daisy finally got her mother's heirloom back.

"Honey, thank you!" Daisy couldn't help kissing Edward before turning to look at the beautiful necklace with a bright smile. It was evident how happy she was.

"You look so happy." Edward gently pinched her nose, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Yes!" After removing her identity as a female officer and taking off her military uniform, Daisy was easily moved like any other woman.

Jessica's face turned pale at the result. She clenched her fist so hard that her nails dug into her skin. But she didn't feel any pain. This must be love. Why did Edward spend 100 million to please Daisy? Didn't he know how much that would upset her?

When Edward bought the 'Soul of Tears' necklace for her that cost him 20 million, Jessica thought it proved Edward's love for her. But today, he spent 100 million on Daisy, making her realize how ridiculous her previous thoughts were and how fragile her pride was.
