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?”
