Chapter 235 He Actually Wants to Throw Away the Diadema "Alright," Brandon responded, "I can fulfill Mr. Davis and Mrs. Davis's wishes." Brandon also understood the need to weigh the pros and cons.
Spending 600 million dollars and upsetting Kelvin, thus gaining an enemy, was clearly a loss no matter how one looked at it. It wasn't worth it! Seeing this, the auctioneer made the final call, "Alright! Mr. Davis bids 600 million dollars! No one is offering a higher price, right? Then I now announce the museum's treasure Heart of the Ocean is sold! Mr. Davis is the buyer!" The room erupted in thunderous applause that seemed to go on forever.
However, Penelope didn't feel a shred of happiness.
When she needed money, Kelvin was so stingy and unwilling to help, forcing her to take on part-tjobs and collect plastic bottles.
For him, it was a trivial amount, a drop in the bucket, yet he refused to buy the special medicine for Grace, delaying her treatment.
Now, he spent a large sum of money just to put a luxurious crown on her head. Yes, the crown was beautiful and every woman would want it, but for Penelope, her life and even her existence wouldn't be affected without it! What she longed for most was someone to extend a helping hand when she needed it the most.
Kelvin had witnessed her at her lowest and chose to remain indifferent.
The pain from that was enough to overshadow any joy this expensive crown could bring her. Everyone was smiling, and every gaze directed at Penelope was filled with envy.

The exhibition hall's manager brought the key, and under countless watchful eyes, slowly opened the display case of the "Heart of the Ocean." Wearing white velvet gloves, he carefully took out the crown with both hands.
"Mr. Davis," the manager said, "From now on, it belongs to you." The crown, shimmering with brilliance, looked even more dazzling up close.
Kelvin raised his hand to take it.
The crown was heavy; after all, it was adorned with over a hundred gems and made of pure gold.
He turned to Penelope. "It belongs to you, Penelope." They stood face to face. Kelvin slowly lifted the crown, intending to place it on her head.
Penelope's outfit today matched the crown perfectly.
However, just as the crown was about to touch her head, Penelope took a step back. She refused to wear it.
Her actions showed she truly didn't want it.
The Heart of the Ocean felt like a shackle; Penelope neither dared nor wanted to wear it! The room fell into a profound silence; no one dared to speak at this moment. Kelvin's expression visibly darkened.
"Penelope?" he raised his voice, signaling her to cforward.
Penelope remained motionless.
"I understand." Kelvin lowered his eyes, staring at the crown in his hand. "You really don't want it." "Yes." She had been saying it and emphasizing it all the time, but he refused to listen or believe! "Then." Kelvin pursed his lips, his tone indifferent. "If its rightful owner doesn't want it, it loses its value." What did he mean by that? Before Penelope could react, Kelvin raised the crown high and then suddenly let go! He let go! Penelope's pupils contracted sharply as she watched the crown fall to the ground in clear, slow motion. Was Kelvin insane? Planning your weekend reading?

The 'Heart of the Ocean' had survived a hundred years, remaining flawless without any scratches or blemishes, making it a museum treasure worth multimillion dollars. One smash, one drop, and it would surely crack! Almost instinctively, as the crown plummeted, Penelope lunged forward, her upper body leaning in, and grabbed it with all her might.
Fortunately, just a foot from hitting the ground, Penelope caught the crown! She gripped it so tightly that the veins on the back of her hand were visible.
The crown, being metal, had sharp edges that dug into her palms.
It hurt, but at that moment, Penelope couldn't care less about the pain.
Looking at the crown she had caught, her heart finally settled a bit. Thankfully, she caught it! She had preserved a treasure for the jewelry world! "Kelvin!" Penelope looked up, her face still pale with shock. "What are you doing? Why did you let go?" She was scared, and those around her were equally stunned, except for Kelvin, who remained calm and composed.
"Because you don't want it," Kelvin replied, "if you don't want it, then it should be discarded." Whether it was 600 million dollars or even 6 billion dollars, he would buy it for Penelope without hesitation. However, she didn't want it, so he would throw it away.

Penelope didn't answer, clutching the crown tightly, and walked out. She couldn't communicate with Kelvin! He was a lunatic! Watching Penelope's angry back, Kelvin's lips curled slightly.

Who wasn't envious and jealous? 600 million dollars, and Kelvin could just throw it away without hesitation! Kelvin's love for Penelope was too deep! Kelvin followed Penelope out of the exhibition hall.
In the crowd, Madison clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost broke.
She never expected that Penelope would steal all the spotlight at today's jewelry exhibition! Even Isabella couldn't compete with her! "Isabella, I'm leaving too," Madison said, "I have a schedule to catch tomorrow." "Alright, goodbye." Isabella responded casually and turned to Brandon. "Brandon, did you know Penelope was Mrs. Davis when you met her?" Brandon avoided the topic. "Let's go back. I'm sorry, Isabella, for not buying the Heart of the Ocean for you."
"It's okay." She forced a smile, pretending to be magnanimous Our mour relationship is so strong, we don't is NO need these external things to prove it.
As long as you loveforever and only me, I'll be satisfied." Brandon hugged her.
Outside the exhibition hall, a large number of media reporters were still waiting.
