Chapter 248

After Vivienne had stopped raising the bid, Carl snagged the gernstone numbered 213 for a staggering 12 million dollars

“Vienne, you tricked me Carl’s face turned sour in an instant.

“Weren’t you the one who wanted it so badly that you started a bidding war with me? Vivienne raised an eyebrow “I let you have it, and now I’m the one at fault?”

She originally intended to play those who were deliberately bidding against her

Cart, on his own accord, decided to oppose her. And now he was blaming her?

“My cousin seems to want it so badly, so I’m happy to let him have it” Vivienne pointed to a dispirited Carl standing in the corner and smiled. “Just look how thrilled he is.” He was so thrilled that he nearly ground his teeth to dust

Jacob was apprehensive. He signaled the plants in the audience that the next time Vivienne bid, they should not drive up the price maliciously. If Vivienne backed off again, their scheme would have been for naught.
