The auction was brought to a mini climax by the battle between the two women.

The tension in the air was palpable, and everyone was excited to see who would finally get to own the ruby.

Jennifer raised her paddle again.

The duo went back and forth, and neither of them was willing to relent.

“Ms. Tanner, it seems that you are really fond of it.” Jennifer did not expect Sophie to keep raising the bid. Does she really have that much money? “But are you sure you can afford it? You would probably need Mr. Tristan to pay for it in the end!”

I’m sure the reason she dares to keep raising the bid is that she knows she has Mr. Tristan’s support!

Sophie cocked her brows.

“Ms. Whitley, are you inferring that I am a kept woman?”

Kept woman?

Is that the female equivalent of a kept man?

“Well, you can think of it that way.”

“You sounded certain that I won’t be able to afford the ruby. But I’m sorry to disappoint you. Not only do I have the money to buy this ruby, but I can also afford to buy your entire Whitley family!”

Sophie had always kept a low profile.

However, Jennifer was really getting on her nerves.

“Gosh! What a brazen young lady! Does she even know anything about the Whitley family?”

“Exactly! Even Old Mr. Lombard wants an ally like the Whitley family. How dare she make such a claim?”

“She thinks she can do anything she wants just because Mr. Tristan is interested in her. What a joke!”

Jennifer’s expression turned grim.
