The auction event reached its grand finale when a piece of ancient jade was introduced.

"I'm so full!" Heidi rubbed her round tummy while leaning against the chair with a giggle.

"You've not stopped eating ever since you sat down. You're like a little pig!" Moira teased Heidi while looking at her.

"Fruits are good for health." Jacob shot a glance at Moira.

Moira frowned and was about to retort to Jacob, but for some reason, she felt guilty upon recalling the scene tonight, so she bit her tongue.

With that, the bidding commenced, with a middle-aged businessman at Table No.18 making the opening bid.

"Three hundred and eighty thousand? What do you think, Boss?" Jerry looked toward Jacob.

Stroking Heidi's round belly, Jacob glanced toward the stage to look at the white jade which had a tinge of yellow.

Sensing the elegance of the jade, he nodded and answered, "Anything within twenty million."

"Twenty million?! Are you sure, Boss?" Jerry's eyes widened in shock.

Jacob cast a glance at him and did not answer.

"I'm just asking casually." Jerry giggled and raised his hand. "A million."

The guests focused their gazes on Table No.12 when Jacob increased the bid again.

Perceiving the inquisitive stares, Jacob pressed his lips coldly.

On the other hand, Yuna's expression was cold as ice.

Observing her countenance, Charlie mumbled weakly, "Stop stirring up trouble again, Yuna. Otherwise, dad might throw a fit!"

Yuna shot a fierce glare at him and snarled, "How dare you accuse me of stirring up trouble?! But don't worry..."

She heaved a bitter sigh and spat through gritted teeth, "Since you're going to send someone to teach them a lesson, there's no point for me to fork out more money for this. I would rather keep the money to buy handbags and sports cars."

"Glad to know that." Charlie patted his chest gratefully.

He was so worried that Yuna would squander a huge sum of money again out of impulse.

"Hmph! You must be complaining about me inwardly!" Looking daggers, Yuna glared at her husband.

Charlie waved his hand about and blurted, "I won't dare to!"

"You better mean what you say!" Yuna pouted.

Thereafter, she lifted her brows and asked, "By the way, are the men you hire reliable? Don't forget that your bodyguards didn't even have the chance to fight back previously and were directly struck unconscious."
