Chapter 228 Who Will Buy the Heart of the Ocean "Kelvin, can you change your tactics when pursuing women?" She said, "You gave Fiona a wedding ring, and now you're givinga pink diamond ring. Your methods are really unchanging." "That was meant for you in the first place, not for her." Kelvin explained.
Penelope shrugged, saying, "Even if you give it tonow, I don't want it." Their reflections appeared in the smooth mirrors of the exhibition hall.
Clad in a black suit and striped tie, Kelvin radiated authority. The gleam from his wristwatch underscored his impeccable taste.
Penelope, in a white backless gown, looked elegant and graceful. Her hair was up, making her appear gentle and charming.
In fact, she had been supplementing her nutrition for the baby in her belly these days, and she had gained sweight.
When she first purchased this dress, it was a perfect fit. Now, trying it on again, she found it slightly snug. This was a good thing.
If she was well, her two children would be well too.
Kelvin looked at her. Although Penelope was standing right in front of him, he always felt like he couldn't grasp her.
She seemed like a fairy that could leave at any moment.
"Penelope." Kelvin reached out, trying to encircle her waist.

Saying this, she stopped a staff member, asking, "Excuse me, where is the display case for the 'Heart of the Ocean'?" "Over there." The staff member pointed to the center, where a rectangular display case covered with burgundy velvet stood. "It hasn't been officially displayed yet. You'll have to wait until 9.00 p.m." "Okay, thank you." Herren peyidirecraîtitlentine, it was jusîtîtéîom Did she have to spend that much twith Kelvin? As she was thinking, someone approached with a glass of wine. "Mr. Davis, it's an honor to finally meet you." Once one person boldly approached, others who had been observing from a distance quickly gathered around. After all, this was Kelvin! The most distinguished man in LA! They all wanted to curry favor and have a few words with Kelvin.
Kelvin's expression darkened.
He didn't want to waste tdealing with these people; his main purpose today was to accompany Penelope! However, there were too many people, and soon he was surrounded.
Penelope had already retreated to the side.
Kelvin was a celebrity; everyone knew him, but no one knew who she was, so she took the opportunity to slip away.
Seeing Kelvin look at her, Penelope waved at him and said in a low voice "Bye." She wandered off on her own, carefully admiring each piece of jewelry.
She didn't want him by her side, acting like a nouveau riche, constantly offering to buy her things.
Liking something didn't necessarily mean you have to own it; admiring from a distance could also be satisfying. Kelvin couldn't push through the crowd and could only watch as Penelope walked away.
The exhibition had a dessert area and a drinks area.
Perhaps due to her pregnancy, Penelope's taste had becsweeter.
She couldn't drink alcohol, so she stayed in the dessert area, eating cake and drinking juice.
Next to her were two elegantly dressed women, one in a red gown and the other in a purple gown, chatting while wearing ten-centimeter high heels.
"I heard the 'Heart of the Ocean' will be auctioned tonight. Who do you think will buy it?" "Definitely your husband; he adores you." "He doesn't understand such romance."

Penelope was a bit surprised. The Heart of the Ocean, as the centerpiece of the exhibition, was actually going to be sold? However, even if it were sold, its price would be extremely high, beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The person who could own it must cfrom a very wealthy family.
She curiously glanced at the two women and recognized one of them.
The woman in the red gown was a popular actress in the entertainment industry- Madison Winters.
Madison had been on a roll these past two years, starring in three hit TV series, topping the ratings charts, and becoming a major star. Her pay had skyrocketed.
Moreover, Madison had signed several high-end brand endorsements, including a jewelry brand.
So, it wasn't surprising that Madison, as a brand ambassador, was here.
The other woman in the purple gown, Penelope didn't recognize and had never seen before.
However, it was rare to see someone who could pull off purple so well. This woman was tall and elegant, clearly a socialite.
"Are you looking at us?" Suddenly, Madison met Penelope's gaze and arrogantly raised her chin. "Who are you?" Penelope realized she had been staring at them and forgot to look away.

Hearing this, Madison beceven more proud and deliberately flipped her hair. "You can look, but no photos. I'm not taking any pictures or signing autographs today." The woman in the purple gown said, "She didn't do anything wrong. Don't be like that." "I didn't say anything," Madison replied, "You're just too kind and gentle." Saying this, Madison eagerly glanced in Kelvin's direction.
"When the crowd thins out, I want to toast Mr. Davis," Madison said, "If can have a good conversation with him might land Adoring Cupid endorsement!" Her eyes were full of admiration.

She wondered what kind of woman could make him fall in love and get married.
Madison thought she was qualified! "Alright, I'll go with you," the woman in the purple gown said.
"You're the best!" Penelope smiled and said nothing, carrying her dessert away.
It seemed Kelvin's romantic entanglements were about to begin.
She pondered whether Madison's strategies would outmatch Fiona's. If Madison excelled axbeguiling men, she could xally captivate Kelvin and sway him to her side. Then Penelope would be free. Thinking this, Penelope couldn't help but look at Madison with a bit more respect.
But within seconds, she felt a sudden pang in her heart.
Images of Kelvin and Madison embracing flashed through her mind, making her feel uncomfortable.
Could she really remain calm and indifferent while watching another woman fall into Kelvin's arms? She was so lost in thought that she didn't hold her dessert properly, and it fell to the ground.
Penelope's dress got a bit of cream on it.
She had no choice but to head to the e restroom to wash it off and dry it with tissue. Fortunately, she cleaned it in time, and the cream washed off without leaving a stain. Penelope signed in relief; it would have been too embarrassing to wear a dirty dress. As she walked out of the restroom and turned a corner, she ran into someone. "Mr. Walker?" Penelope exclaimed in surprise.
