Chapter 724
Artwork such as calligraphy, paintings, and vases dominated the front displays.
Prices were not prohibitive, so those interested snatched them up quickly.
Tonight's final auction item was the sapphire necklace that Elizabeth had her eye on.
She wasn't the only one aiming for the necklace, as many socialites were also waiting for it.
Everyone wanted to get their hands on that sapphire necklace.
The starting price was 200,000 dollars, and bidding increased by 100,000 dollars each time.
Although the item didn't start at a high price, countless bids were made, and in the blink of an eye, the
necklace was now worth 2.4 million dollars.
Nonetheless, Elizabeth was not worried.
Before they got there, Joseph had already told her that he prepared six million dollars with him.
Therefore, as long as the price did not exceed six million, the necklace would easily be hers without
worry! She sipped her wine slowly and looked around with a trace of self- satisfaction on her face.

When the bidding reached 3.6 million, the bids came to a halt.
Elizabeth squeezed Joseph lightly, and seeing him nod, she happily put down her wine glass and
raised her paddle.
"4 million!"
Many others turned to look in their direction as soon as her words rang out, surprised.
Elizabeth held her head up high with a smug smile.
‘What are you looking at now? You people always looked down on me just because I'm a mistress.It's a
skill for a mistress to climb the social ladder as I did.Soon, the Tanner Corporation will be mine!' The
auctioneer held up the hammer and called out, "Anyone else would like to bid? 4 million, calling once,
calling twice—"
"4.2 million."
Someone broke the silence and held up a paddle.
Both Elizabeth and Joseph were stunned.
Then, he turned to look at the person holding the paddle.
It was a young man and he casually named his price.
Elizabeth chewed on her lips for a moment before she quickly raised her paddle without hesitation.
"5 million!"
She was going to fight that man! This necklace must be hers by the end of tonight.
Elizabeth was not going to let anyone else take it.
Meanwhile, Joseph, who had already promised her 6 million dollars, did not interrupt her when she
raised the bid.
If he did not let her get that necklace, she might cry herself to sleep.
Besides, it was just a necklace.
The Tanner Corporation was soon going to be his, so how could he be calculative? It would be
embarrassing if he could not even afford to buy his woman a necklace.

The other party called again.
It was not too big of a jump from Elizabeth's offer.
Hearing this, she shot a glare in the person's direction and raised the paddle again.
"6 million!"
At this point, she was already at the limit, but she did not care.
Elizabeth thought that she was bound to win.
"6.2 million..."
Unfortunately, the other party seemed determined to win as well.
He was doing everything he could to fight her.
The rest of the crowd was silent.
The necklace's price had been raised well above its actual value.
It has become absurdly pricey.
Although the sapphire was stunning, it wasn't worth that much money!
