Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 1638

Alberto cast a glance at the hairpin but remained silent.

“A present, perhaps?” Edmond asked curiously.

“Yeah.” Alberto didn’t deny it.

Instead, he glanced at his assistant standing behind him and signaled for the assistant to step forward.

Then, he whispered something to the assistant.

The assistant’s eyes widened momentarily, showing a hint of surprise.

However, he swiftly composed himself and nodded in understanding.

“Understood.

I’ll take care of it immediately.”

Then the assistant turned around and left.

With a smile, Edmond remarked, “Seems like the future owner of that hairpin holds great significance for you.”

“Yes, it’s very important,” Alberto admitted frankly.

Though Alberto was known for his cold demeanor, Edmond found him to be otherwise.

“So, have you won her over yet? If she’s caught your eye, she must be exceptional.

Speaking from experience, I’d suggest you keep her close and take good care of her.

When I was pursuing my wife, she was the most beautiful girl in school, with countless boys competing for her affection.

But I was the one who won her over, and it required considerable effort.

Alberto turned to Edmond, remaining silent for a moment.

Eventually, he offered a smile and replied, “I’ll bear your advice in mind.”

“You’re still young.

Make the most of this opportunity.” Edmond spoke earnestly, giving Alberto a reassuring pat on the thigh.

“Twenty million! Mr.

Sullivan, will you raise your bid?”

The auctioneer’s words drew the collective gaze of the room towards

Odin, their eyes filled with curiosity about his next move.

Odin narrowed his eyes in surprise.

He hadn’t anticipated the price to reach twenty million, surpassing his initial expectations.

It was nothing more than an ordinary hairpin, worth no more than a few thousand dollars, yet its price had skyrocketed to several times its actual value.

However, his competitive spirit wasn’t ready to back down.

He had declared his intent to win this hairpin, and he was determined to do just that.

As he was about to increase his bid, his assistant appeared behind him and respectfully said, “Mr.

Sullivan.”

The voice interrupted Odin.

Odin turned to glance at his assistant, noticing an urgency in his demeanor.

He asked in a stern voice, “What is it?”

“There’s a message for you from Mr.

Gibson’s assistant.

Mr.

Gibson expressed his fondness for this hairpin and his desire to gift it to a special someone.

He requested that you withdraw your bid for the hairpin.

In return, he planned to treat you to a meal as a token of his appreciation after the auction.”

Odin’s eyes darkened.

While his assistant kept his voice low, Rachel was close enough to catch the entire conversation.
