His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 60

At the auction house, the atmosphere was elegant and refined.

The auctioneer, dressed in a sophisticated navy dress, exuded grace. Her poised demeanor and charm captivated the audience, effortlessly commanding their attention.

The earlier auction items failed to catch the interest of either Stephen or Zachary. But soon after, the pink diamond necklace was unveiled.

The auctioneer briefly introduced the necklace, emphasizing its rarity and royal heritage, before announcing the starting bid at four million dollars.

After several rounds of bidding, the price quickly climbed to six million dollars, leaving only a few competitors in contention.

Determined, Zachary raised his paddle again, increasing the bid to 6.2 million dollars.

The auctioneer gestured gracefully. "The current bid is at 6.2 million dollars. Would anyone like to raise it to 6.5 million dollars?"
