Chapter 347 The Price of a Dream

“Linda.”

“Yeah? What’s wrong?”

“How much cash do you have stashed away?”

“Huh?”

“No matter how much you have, give it all to me. I have to buy this painting today.”

Linda froze.

She’d already seen the painting. In that split second carlier, she’d even felt like the mountain. peaks turned into two sharp blades, stabbing straight into her eyes.

Her eyes still hurt now.

So she knew it was something special.

And special things were meant to be fought over.

If the Spencers were still living in their old glory, maybe they could take a shot.

But now…

“Damon, you should give up.”

Damon froze.

He even thought he’d misheard.

He looked at Linda in disbelief.

Back then, when Linda caused trouble outside and offended powerful people, to protect her reputation, he’d almost emptied his own vault.

He hadn’t felt any regret over it because she was his sister.

Whether it worked or not, he was willing to try for her, even if it meant ending up nothing.

But today, when he needed money this badly, Linda refused him outright.

Chapter 347 The Price of a Dream

He knew everyone here today was powerful, and their wealth was endless.

But he still wanted to fight for his dream.

Even getting close to it would’ve been enough.

If the high bidder suddenly backed out, that would give him a chance.

But Linda wouldn’t even let him try.

She shut it down immediately.

Deep down, he couldn’t help feeling hurt.

“Damon.”

Linda didn’t get a response and felt a little surprised.

So she turned to look at him.

The disappointment on his face was impossible to hide.

She didn’t think she was in the wrong.

She assumed Damon was just upset because he couldn’t get the painting.

She sighed helplessly.

“Damon, don’t you see who’s here today? I asked around. They’re all overseas big shots. They could bankrupt the Spencers with a flick of a finger.

“Damon, Charlie can barely get Spencer Group back on its feet again.

“Don’t make things harder for him.”

Damon’s face turned even darker.

He knew he wasn’t capable enough.

Even if he went to beg their parents now, he probably wouldn’t get support.

But it still hurt.

Does Linda really not see how upset I am about this?

Chapter 347 The Price of a Dream

If she won’t give me money, can’t she at least say a few comforting words?

Do I really have no place in her heart at all?

At that moment, countless scenes from the past flashed before his eyes.

And he finally realized.

All these years, he’d been the one giving, again and again, as her older brother.

He’d given Linda countless things, but Linda had never given him anything in return.

Not once.

For the first time, Damon felt exhausted, as if life itself had lost its value.

The light in his eyes drained away in an instant, leaving nothing but emptiness.

Linda couldn’t be bothered with him anymore. She only wanted to talk to the people around her and build connections.

After what happened with Les, she didn’t trust anyone completely.

Still, over this period of time, she’d gotten in touch with a few assistants.

She just needed to find a way later to turn those contacts into her own resources.

During the short time the siblings were talking, Aurelia’s painting had already been bid up to 30 million.

And people were still calling out prices nonstop.

Very quickly, it climbed to 100 million.

Hearing that number, Damon’s face turned pitch–black.

He truly couldn’t afford it anymore.

Sophie, however, hadn’t bid at all.

This was donated by Stella, and it made her feel sick just looking at it.
