Chapter 264 Focus On What Truly Matters
In front of the large screen, Corrine's eyes unintentionally caught Bruce and Leah among the spectators.
Bruce's efforts for Leah had surpassed her expectations.
Corrine, however, was not one to bow out gracefully, particularly against those who had wronged her before.
She swiftly grabbed the inteand signaled Jacob with a clear gesture.
Zayn, the auctioneer, swept his gaze over the attendees authoritatively, pausing only to glance at Jacob before
starting his call. "Two hundred and ten million. Going once."
“Three hundred million," Jacob lazily said, casually raising his paddle before Zayn could
continue.
Zayn was left momentarily speechless.
The room burst into chaos, filled with gasps and murmurs spreading like a sudden
wave.
Every head turned in Jacob's direction, their expressions a mix of curiosity and
astonishment.

The crowd craned their necks, eager to see the big spender. Bruce was curious too.
Bruce had set his limit at two hundred and ten million, never expecting someone to outbid him so tically.
Rita leaned forward, trying to get a clearer view. She had anticipated seeing sflamboyant tycoon; instead,
she saw a plain-looking older man.
If it weren't for his crisp suit and the jaw-dropping bid he had placed, he would have
remained unnoticed.
"Leah, who is this guy?"

Chapter 264 Focus On What Truly Matters
Leah's face tensed slightly. "Forreal categorizes memberships into three levels: top-tier, mid-tier, and entry. The
top-tier members typically don't attend in person; they send proxies."
This meant Jacob was acting on behalf of a top-tier member.
Rumors had circulated that one needed assets over one hundred billion to be considered for the top-tier
membership.
That was merely a conservative estimate.
Even if the Ashton and Burgess families sold all their assets, they still couldn't match the financial power of
whoever was backing Jacob.
Only those rare individuals in possession of a black gold card could rival such financial
power.
Yet, no one had ever been seen using one in public.
Bruce's hands tightened into fists, and he looked at Leah regretfully. "Leah, I'm sorry we
fell short."
"It's alright," Leah responded gently, her expression soft. "Perhaps that diamond
was
never meant for us."
Internally, however, she was furious.
She resented that Bruce lacked the influence to secure top-tier membership. She despised the fact that there
were people whose wealth dwarfed their own to such

extent.
At the stime, in a luxurious VIP suite overlooking the auction, a man lounged comfortably.
His sun-kissed blond hair and the playful sparkle in his eyes illuminated his chiseled features, giving him an
almost divine aura.
Yet, the sly twist of his lips lent him an irresistibly roguish charm.
He casually spun a bone ring on his finger, watching the auction unfold on the screen with the amusement of
someone observing an entertaining spectacle. A slight smirk appeared. "The extremes people reach to showcase
their wealth are indeed shameless."
"Sir, should we investigate who they are?" his companion asked, his buzz-cut hairstyle lending him a stern look.

The blond man raised his eyes, his look piercing even in relaxation. "Remember this- don't squander ton
those of no consequence. Focus on what truly matters."
"Understood."
Forreal boasted a client database reputed to be the most secure globally, its protections nearly foolproof.
However, for those who were determined enough, there was always a way through.
But in this scenario, the effort simply wasn't justified.
