Chapter 373

nut business were shocked, to say the least.Still, there were people who did their research on these unique collector’s items. They were tempted to place their bids on those nuts on the tray.“Six million!”Taking Skylar’s instruction, Yulia raised her bidding card and shouted.“Six million five hundred thousand!”A middle-aged man in the back named his price.Another voice echoed, “Ten million!”Uff!Everybody gasped sharply and turned their heads to the source of the voice.Nolan raised his bidding card and looked smugly at Skylar and Yulia.The disdain in his eyes was mocking Skylar and Yulia.To Nolan, Skylar only deserved his leftovers.When it came down to it, Skylar was no match for Nolan.Showered by surprised looks, Nolan rose to his feet and arrogantly said, “I am Nolan, the heir of the Oakleys.

Someone as poor as you…”The way he saw it, Skylar and Yulia were paupers.It was like Skylar and Yulia embezzled public funds to purchase the six-hundred-thousand-dollar paint just now.Even though Kareem Fashion’s anti-blemish cream project was a big hit, they had a long way to go
