Nearby, Tina seethed with jealousy. Manfred hadn't even bothered to donate an auction item, and st on Pearl's necklace!

Was he out of his mind?

"Manfred, this is too extravagant. Where can you get so much money?”

In a moment of emotional outburst, Tina didn’t lower her voice, and there happened to be a micropt “Mr. Day, don’t be impulsive if you can't afford it.”

Someone sarcastically said to Manfred. Manfred's face immediately soured as he glared fiercely at Ti Just because he wasn’t willing to spend money on Tina didn’t mean he wasn't willing to

spend money on another woman.

“I like this necklace, and I must get it today. Anyone among you who also wants this necklace, well, y These words were addressed to those people who were waiting to watch his joke.

Manfred raised the corner of his mouth disdainfully, adjusted the buttons of his suit, and was just ab The audience burst into an uproar again. Had someone raised the wrong bid card?

Manfred almost stumbled, quickly turned to look, and spotted a man in a black trench coat with a cc "Who is this man?” He inquired of his friend, who stood beside him.

Lucas started to taunt. “Mr. Day, don't be a coward. Did you say that you must get this necklace toda He then turned to Marc and added, “I'm not particularly interested in emeralds actually, but this nec A dark intensity flickered in Marc's eyes, and he spoke in a low voice, “Coincidentally, so have 1.” “Two million dollars once! Two million dollars twice...”

However, his confidence only lasted a second and soon disappeared when Lucas and Marc joined fol Marc and Lucas didn't care about Manfred and raised their bid cards.

“3 million dollars!”

“3.6 million dollars!"

“3.8 million dollars!"

“4 million dollars!”

The prices continued to climb, and the auctioneer was so excited that his voice grew higher in

pitch. Everyone in the room turned their attention toward Marc and Lucas, wondering

where these two bidders had come from.

Hubert was stunned, looking at the two people raising their bid cards like cheerleaders and smacking lips. “What kind of game are they playing now?”

Pearl's expression remained serious, without a trace of joy.

Influenced by her parents, she never liked being in the spotlight like this, nor did she appreciate this She nodded toward Mason, who was holding up his bid card. “4 million and 2 thousand

dollars.”

Marc and Lucas both turned their gaze toward Pearl simultaneously.

Pearl didn't even look at them and nodded directly at the auctioneer, who quickly shouted the price Thanks to them, she got this 1.4-million—

dollar gemstone necklace back at around 2.6 million dollars more than its value.

But it didn't matter. She would earn that money back from them.
