Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 246 A Challenge

Although there was an auction going on right now and everyone could place their respective bids, Veronica couldn’t help but feel targeted.

In the end, she chose to remain silent.

However, the others continued to place their bids.

“One million and thirty thousand.”

“One million and fifty thousand.”

“One million and two hundred thousand.”

The price of the item went up significantly, and finally, it was auctioned off at a high price of seven million and five hundred thousand. It was way more than the original net worth of the necklace.

Although the necklace was quite exquisite, the quality of the stone was mediocre.

Ruka was the one who had bought the necklace for seven million and five hundred thousand.

After she had placed that bid, no one else continued to place a bid.

The host exclaimed, “Miss Dame has placed a bid of seven million and fifty thousand. Is there anyone else who’s interested? Alright! Seven million and fifty thousand once… Seven million and fifty thousand twice…”

The host purposely dragged his voice as he yelled out.

Meanwhile, Veronica couldn’t quite tell why, but she felt quite attracted to the necklace for some reason.

After some hesitation, Veronica, who hadn’t placed a bid for quite some time, lifted her card and said, “Seven…”

“Ten million!”

Before she could even place her bid, Matthew, who was next to her, instantly increased the price to ten million.

She frowned, and there was a displeased look on her exquisite milky-white face. “What do you want the necklace for?”

He glanced at her calmly from the side, and he was about to say ‘as a gift for you’, but he stifled the words that he intended to say.

Perhaps he was unhappy because she had persistently tried to push other women toward him, so he instantly changed his sentence and replied, “I like it.”

Meanwhile, Veronica was left speechless by his reply.

“Alright, Young Master Matthew from Spinfluence Group has placed a bid for ten million. Is there anyone else interested in placing a higher bid?” The host was very excited and the atmosphere of the auction event became increasingly livelier.
