“I just don’t think that it’s worth two hundred thousand,” Alex said flatly.

“What nonsense!” someone shouted. “Don’t you know that two hundred thousand is only the starting price?”

“That’s right! Even if it’s two million, there are still many people dying to get one.”

“I bet he’s the kind that could only afford those cheap charms from the temples!”

However, what she said was a lie since she was not close to Damian at all; she was just trying to make Alex feel better.
