Everyone around Sif was silenced by her outburst—she was still an heiress of the Lionhearts, and no one would
ever dare challenge her.
"Just you wait!" Sif snorted as she glared viciously at Frank.
Frank merely gave her an innocent look, leaving her further frustrated. -
Soon, the next auction item—an emerald pearl—was brought up onstage.
"My father collected this from the South Sea, and it was after much prospecting that we found out it's a
miraculous gem that promotes longevity," Jenny spoke.
A hint of bitterness appeared on her face as she remembered that her father died of sudden natural causes—fat
good longevity did.
Shaking her head, Jenny composed herself and said, "Bidding starts at 20 million, and each raise is set at 2
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmillion. Bidding starts now!"
Sif chuckled coolly when Jenny was finished. "Wait, that pearl? It's not that rare... | guess the Leaf family really
has nothing good in their collection. En?"
While Sif was being dismissive, Frank was suddenly frowning again, and she turned toward him warily.
"Trevor, buy that pearl—no matter how much it takes."
Frank's cool turn left Trevor raising a brow—he had done the sthing just now, but it turned out to be a trap
meant for Sif.
He certainly had no idea whether Frank wanted it, but since Frank spoke, he would make the bids.
He had no reason not to, and he would jump into the fire pit even if he had to—it was no loss.
Hence, as bids for the emerald pearl reached 100 million, he stood up and raised his paddle. "200 million!"
"What?!"
Sif turned toward Frank.
It was the sbid price and the sexpression from him, and it only upset Sif greatly. Even if she wanted to
stop Frank, she was also afraid of Frank swindling her again.
After a moment's hesitation, she leveled a vicious glare at Frank. "Hey, do you actually want it or not?!"
"Why wouldn't I? | even made a bid. Why don't you make a bid too if you want it?" Frank replied.
There was nothing to dissect from his words, and Sif certainly could not read what he was planning with his
neutral expression.
Moreover, she had encountered that hale pearl before and knew its quality and value.
Two hundred million dollars—no more, no less.

If she made another bid and it turned out to be another of Frank's traps, she would be made a sucker twice.
Telling herself that Frank was cunning and that she must be careful, she shook her head, giving up just then.
"200 million from Mr. Zurich. Anyone else?" Jenny asked and counted down before banging the gavel thrice.
And with that, the emerald hale pearl fell into Frank's hands with relative ease.
While Jenny announced it, Trevor turned uncomfortably toward Frank to find him grinning. "200 million dollars is
no loss. | might even say we hit the jackpot."
Sif could see Frank's reaction from getting the hale pearl and sneered. "You really know nothing, celebrating just
because you got sjunk. Aren't you worried how people would laugh at you?"
Then, opening the box of the Hyperion Root, she brandished it at Frank while scoffing. "See this? Real treasure—
and you'll never have what it takes to get it!"
However, Frank was laughing at her words. "Really? The way | see it, you Lionhearts only deserve that sort of
trash."
