Nearby, Tina seethed with jealousy. Manfred hadn't even bothered to donate an auction item, and ston Pearl's necklace!

Was he out of his mind?

"Manfred, this is too extravagant. Where can you get so much money?”

In a moment of emotional outburst, Tina didn’t lower her voice, and there happened to be a micropt“Mr. Day, don’t be impulsive if you can't afford it.”

Someone sarcastically said to Manfred. Manfred's face immediately soured as he glared fiercely at TiJust because he wasn’t willing to spend money on Tina didn’t mean he wasn't willing to

spend money on another woman.

“I like this necklace, and I must get it today. Anyone among you who also wants this necklace, well, yThese words were addressed to those people who were waiting to watch his joke.

Manfred raised the corner of his mouth disdainfully, adjusted the buttons of his suit, and was just abThe audience burst into an uproar again. Had someone raised the wrong bid card?

Manfred almost stumbled, quickly turned to look, and spotted a man in a black trench coat with a cc"Who is this man?” He inquired of his friend, who stood beside him.

However, his confidence only lasted a second and soon disappeared when Lucas and Marc joined folMarc and Lucas didn't care about Manfred and raised their bid cards.

“3 million dollars!”

“3.6 million dollars!"

“3.8 million dollars!"

“4 million dollars!”

The prices continued to climb, and the auctioneer was so excited that his voice grew higher in

where these two bidders had come from.

Hubert was stunned, looking at the two people raising their bid cards like cheerleaders and smackinglips. “What kind of game are they playing now?”

Pearl's expression remained serious, without a trace of joy.

Influenced by her parents, she never liked being in the spotlight like this, nor did she appreciate thisShe nodded toward Mason, who was holding up his bid card. “4 million and 2 thousand

Marc and Lucas both turned their gaze toward Pearl simultaneously.

Pearl didn't even look at them and nodded directly at the auctioneer, who quickly shouted the priceThanks to them, she got this 1.4-million—

dollar gemstone necklace back at around 2.6 million dollars more than its value.

But it didn't matter. She would earn that money back from them.
