“This has always been the motivation behind Alexa’s jewelry design. Being a loyal fan of

her work, I plan

to follow in her footsteps this way.

“I hope this gesture also maximizes the kindness Ms. Betty has shown me by giving me

such a precious gift,” stated Ada.

Betty couldn’t publicly deny that any longer. All she wanted was for a hole to open up in

the ground and swallow her up.

“Madam Ada has decided that, on account of the meaning and gravitas of this piece

crafted by Alexa

herself, there will be no minimum bidding amount!” the auctioneer announced.

“30 million,” a clear voice rang out. Jameson raised his paddle, a smile on his face.

30 million?

That was the highest starting bid of the night so far!

Were they planning to go up to billions?

Alexa’s creations were indeed worth that price, but it was still an exorbitant amount.

“50 million.” Jasper slowly raised his paddle, his expression calm save for a glint of ferocity

in his eyes.

The crowd was shocked by his bid.

It was clear now that he was going head-to-head with Jasper.

Yves pointed out.

“Yeah, do they think we’re some sort of Wild West highway showdown at high noon?”

Alyssa really wanted to stand up and teach the two a lesson right now.

Meanwhile, Sophia was in utter shock.

“Didn’t you say Jameson Schmidt was useless in his family, never getting a single cent?

He bid one

hundred million!” Betty asked. All the blood had left her cheeks.

Sophia was truly at a loss for words.

Had she been wrong this whole time?

Was Jameson’s background all an elaborate lie?

“120 million,” Jasper retorted flatly. He needed to get one of Alexa’s creations no matter

what.

“150.” Alyssa’s voice rang out loud in the hall as she raised her paddle.
