Soon enough, they sent over a small wooden box with his bank card on top of it.

Jerry slipped the card back into his pocket and opened the box. He took out the gourd pendant that had sent everyone into a tizzy earlier on and hung it on Heidi's little wrist.

"Look. Do you like it?" His voice softened as he spoke to her.

"Uncle gave you a present. What do you say?" Jacob gently reminded her.

Heidi lifted her wrist. She stared at the little green gourd and blinked. She pouted and said sweetly, "Thank you uncle!"

"Hey! Don't mention it! I'm happy as long as you like it!" Jerry beamed with happiness.

They watched as Heidi put her hand down. With a clatter, the gourd fell onto the chair. Moira and Jonah shuddered in unison.

Heidi felt out of sorts with this thing on her wrist. She pouted at Jacob.


Moira took a deep breath and said carefully, "We can't accept such a valuable gift! Besides what if someone dangerous were to see it…"

Jerry glanced sideways at her. "It's just a piece of rock. There's nothing valuable about it. If someone dares to steal it, he'll wish he were dead!"

"Shut up!"

Jacob frowned at them but smiled at his daughter. "Let your aunt put it away if you don't like it."

"Okay!" Heidi nodded eagerly. She took off the pendant and tossed it into Moira's hand.

"Hey…" Moira scrambled to catch it. Her heart beating a mile a minute.

This was worth ten million! What if it falls and break? Moira wouldn't be able to pay for it even if she tried to for the rest of her life!

"Looks like she really doesn't like it." Jerry chuckled.

"You're better off giving her some delicious grapes." Jacob glanced at him.

Jerry shrugged helplessly, "Thankfully, it's a charity auction. That ten million will be put to good use."

How rich could he be that he did not even bat an eyelid at losing ten million? Jonah's eyes widened in shock.

At table two, Yuna's face twisted with hostile anger when she saw the photos on her husband's phone.

A few more items were auctioned off on stage when they brought out an ancient sword and scabbard.
