Chapter 142 Embarrassment
The auction item donated by the famous Mrs. Martin of Tylman Group in Chicago was actually a shabby amulet. Moreover, it was
so old and even its edges had been damaged!
It seemed that she didn’t have the sincerity to do charity. Furthermore, the donation of a tattered amulet was too shabby. Did she
think that she would embarrass Mr. Martin?
Everyone looked at Betty with contempt when they saw that Mr. Martin’s wife donated such a thing.
But she did not have time to care about others’ gazes.
The amulet was a token of her mother’s love, so it couldn’t be taken away!
She grabbed Kerwin’s arm and looked at him. pitifully, saying, “What should I do? This... this can’t be lost. My mother sent it to
me. It can’t be taken away!”
Kerwin didn’t know what was going on either. Who changed the diamond necklace?
But no matter who, he did it to embarrass him and Betty, and it must be Yolanda or Emily.
Yolanda shouldn’t have been so bold.
Although he didn’t want to admit it, for the sake of Betty, it couldn’t be Jeffrey.
He was very angry! Someone actually dared to plot against Betty in secret.
Seeing Emily turning around and smiling proudly at her from the front, Betty immediately understood. It must be Emily who has
done this. She must have deliberately changed the item in order to make a fool of her.
Because only Emily knew that she must have the amulet with her, and only she knew the importance and significance of the
amulet to her!
Betty lashed out angrily at Emily. This time, she had gone too far!

There was a burst of laughter. Everyone began to talk about it.

“So this is a tattered amulet.”
“Why is Kerwin’s wife doing this? If she doesn’t have any sincerity, then don’t come.
No one forced her. She doesn’t want to give up good stuff but wants a good reputation. This is so strange!”
“I heard that she is a reporter and editor of a magazine. She doesn’t have any family background. I’m afraid that she hasn’t seen
much of the world, so she thought she could just donate something random.”
“Why did she come here? It’s so funny.”
“There are many strange things in the auction.”
Although everyone was whispering to each other, the scene was not that big, so Betty could still hear it.
But at this time, she could not defend herself against their comments at all. She could only bite her lips tightly and frown.
“I heard that she is not the daughter of a famous family. She just seized the opportunity to become a rich lady. I wondered why
does Mr. Martin of the Tylman Group like her.”
“This kind of woman is stingy. She is not suitable for big occasions. Does she think the auction is a vegetable market? Humph!”
Emily was secretly pleased as she listened to the discussion. “Betty, you have already lost all your face. Let’s see how you will
deal with it this time!”
“Didn’t Kerwin help you every time? Just look at his expression now. He also felt ashamed. He didn’t care about the photos of the
forceful kiss last time. But this auction had brought shame to the Tylman Group, so how could he not care about it?”
James turned to look at Betty and Kerwin, and he smiled. “It turns out that someone doesn’t like them either and wants to make
trouble.”
“Kerwin, I’d like to see how you’ll protect your new wife today.”
At this time, Betty just wanted to crawl into a small box and hide from it all, but then she thought that it was important to get the
amulet back.
Despite it being just an ordinary amulet, it was something that her mother sincerely begged for.

Her mother had painstakingly raised her by herself. She begged for this amulet because she hoped her daughter could be safe
and healthy and could get happiness and grow up in a carefree manner like other daughters. Her mother took a car for
thousands of feet to beg it for her. At that time, she was still in university.
Her mother knelt and kowtowed to cross the long stairs to beg for this amulet for her.
She didn’t know how far her mother had walked. She just told her walking farther with a devout heart would make the amulet and
her wishes more effective, so she must be happy...
We came to this world empty-handed. We will never be able to repay our mother’s upbringing. Thinking of this, Betty became
even more nervous. She must get this amulet. back! It couldn’t be taken away by others!”
In order to make people calm down, the auctioneer began to maintain order.
“Alright. Stop, please be quiet. Any item can be auctioned today because we’re conducting a charity auction. As long as
everyone has the will to do so, the item itself will be worth far more than its original price. Now, let’s begin!”
Because there had never been such a cheap item in the auction, no one knew how to start bidding for a while.
The auctioneer discussed with the auction house and then said, “Because the blessings carried by the amulet are priceless.
Everyone can bid at will!”
No one would be willing to spend money on such a shabby amulet. It was a waste of money. They might even be called fools.
However, this was Mrs. Martin’s item. So there were still people who began to bid to please Kerwin so that they could pave the
way for their future.
Some people bid 2,000 dollars, some bid 10,000 dollars, and some bid 160,000 dollars...
Listening to these bids, Betty clenched her fists nervously. What should she do? What if it was auctioned away? She helplessly
looked at Kerwin.
When Kerwin saw her worried expression, he reached out to hold her hand and whispered to her, “Don’t worry. I will protect this
amulet well. I will never let it be taken away by others!”
At this time, Kerwin suddenly raised the bidding paddle and shouted a high price, “200,000 dollars!”
All of a sudden, the scene was in dead silence!

200,000 dollars!
“A shabby amulet is worth 200,000 dollars? Are you kidding me? It’s not even worth 20 dollars at all!”
“200,000 dollars! Mr. Martin’s offer was really shocking!”
They were all wondering if Kerwin had gone crazy. First, he managed to get his ex-girlfriend’s diamond pen, then he offered a
sky-high price to buy his wife’s amulet. Did he have money to burn?
Betty was also stunned. She wanted to say no to Kerwin, but Kerwin held her hand and indicated that she did not have to worry.
