Three million?
No matter how you look at it, it was just a child’s pendant. It was not worth double the price!
Almost everyone in attendance could fork out three million without a thought, but for a small jade
pendant…
A majority of the guests shook their heads. It wasn’t worth. Not worth it at all!
But for Yuna Fest, this now had nothing to do with how much it would cost her to buy a jade pendant,
be it three million or more. It was the audacity they had to try to take something she wanted. She now
had to win this bid no matter what. Even if it cost her double that amount.
He frowned and cried out, “Five million!”
Five million?!
The guests gasped in amazement. There were a few among them who were on the same level
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfinancial wise as Yuna, and even they were impressed.
Spending five million to have all eyes on you and just to prove that you’re rich amongst Paramount’s
richest. It must feel good.
However, the Paramount Chamber of Commerce were the hosts of this auction. It would not be right for
some idiot to steal the limelight away from them.
But amongst the rich socialites present, there was that one idiot.
“Ten million.”
A muffled cry echoed.
“Ten million! Ten million from the gentleman on table twelve!” The auctioneer stood on stage and could
see exactly who had bid. She raised her gavel in excitement.
“Who in the world?” Yuna gritted her teeth. Her chest puffed out in anger.
Simon, at table three, turned to look behind him. He whispered, “Who would dare to embarrass Yuna
like this? I’d like to shake this person’s hand if possible. Of course, they first would have to survive the
onslaught coming their way courtesy of this crazy lady.”
Ten million?
On table twelve, Moira’s eyes almost fell out of her head. Jonah was equally shocked and suspicious.
Moira was genuinely surprised that the ‘boss’ of the table, while seemingly rough around the edges,
was this wealthy. While the latter felt conflicted.
After all, all of Zabinski’s family fortune only summed up to be thirty million at most.
Hold on a minute…
Moira blinked. Didn’t he say he wanted to gift this jade gourd to Heidi? He wanted to give a five year
old something worth ten million?
The other two sharing the table also became uneasy. Jacob frowned at him, “Do you have nothing
better to do?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJerry scratched his nose in embarrassment. “Boss, that woman started it.” He chuckled.
On table two, Yuna’s eyes were like icicles. “Who dares steal my limelight? Hmph! I’ll bid…”
“Yuna!” Charlie tugged at her wrist. “Stop yelling! Your dad is looking at you!”
Yuna turned towards table one. Sure enough, her father was glowering at her.
She could almost hear him yelling at her, ‘Enough is enough!’. Yuna clenched her teeth and
suppressed the urge to bid again.
Slam!
“Congratulations to the gentleman on table twelve! You’ve won this one of a kind treasure from the
royal family of Kashyapan!” The auctioneer waved his hand excitedly.
Yuna clenched her teeth at her table. “Go find out who this man from table twelve is.”
“Okay.” Charlie nodded and took out his phone.
At table twelve, Jerry waved at an employee who was working for the chamber of commerce. He
handed the man his card and explained briefly.
