Three million?

No matter how you look at it, it was just a child's pendant. It was not worth double the price!

Almost everyone in attendance could fork out three million without a thought, but for a small jade pendant…

A majority of the guests shook their heads. It wasn't worth. Not worth it at all!

But for Yuna Fest, this now had nothing to do with how much it would cost her to buy a jade pendant, be it three million or more. It was the audacity they had to try to take something she wanted. She now had to win this bid no matter what. Even if it cost her double that amount.

He frowned and cried out, "Five million!"

Five million?!

The guests gasped in amazement. There were a few among them who were on the same level financial wise as Yuna, and even they were impressed.

Spending five million to have all eyes on you and just to prove that you're rich amongst Paramount's richest. It must feel good.


However, the Paramount Chamber of Commerce were the hosts of this auction. It would not be right for some idiot to steal the limelight away from them.

But amongst the rich socialites present, there was that one idiot.

"Ten million."

A muffled cry echoed.

"Ten million! Ten million from the gentleman on table twelve!" The auctioneer stood on stage and could see exactly who had bid. She raised her gavel in excitement.

"Who in the world?" Yuna gritted her teeth. Her chest puffed out in anger.

Simon, at table three, turned to look behind him. He whispered, "Who would dare to embarrass Yuna like this? I'd like to shake this person's hand if possible. Of course, they first would have to survive the onslaught coming their way courtesy of this crazy lady."

Ten million?

On table twelve, Moira's eyes almost fell out of her head. Jonah was equally shocked and suspicious.

Moira was genuinely surprised that the 'boss' of the table, while seemingly rough around the edges, was this wealthy. While the latter felt conflicted.

After all, all of Zabinski's family fortune only summed up to be thirty million at most.

Hold on a minute…

Moira blinked. Didn't he say he wanted to gift this jade gourd to Heidi? He wanted to give a five year old something worth ten million?

The other two sharing the table also became uneasy. Jacob frowned at him, "Do you have nothing better to do?"
