Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 361

As the auction rolled on, the room buzzed with paddles going up and prices being called out.

"Five hundred thirty thousand!"

"Five hundred forty thousand!"

"Five hundred fifty thousand!"

And just like that, the bracelet's price shot up to six hundred thousand.

Allison sighed, feeling the fatigue from the relentless bidding. She decided to hold off and wait for the right moment to pounce with her bid. But then, out of the blue, Watson chimed in with, "Seven hundred thousand."

Watson had picked up on Allison's interest in the bracelet. Joshua had already snagged the earrings she had her eye on, so Watson figured he'd make it up to her by gifting her this emerald beauty.

Just as Watson's bid settled in the air, Joshua's cool, confident voice sliced through, "Eight hundred thousand."

The auctioneer was momentarily stunned-who jumps up a hundred thousand just like that? With a barely contained grin, he announced, "Eight hundred thousand. Any takers for a higher bid?"

Watson's eyes narrowed, "Nine hundred thousand."

Joshua, unfazed and without skipping a beat, countered, "One million."

Heads turned towards Joshua, his face as calm and unruffled as ever.
