Chapter 0136

Belle nodded gently, saying, “I was told by the man who delivered her to the auction house that

she was sold for ten billion.”

“Ten billion!” Emily exclaimed.

She pondered in disbelief, thinking about the enormity of ten billion. Even her family, who ran a company, couldn’t amass such wealth in a lifetime.

“Are you sure you heard that right?” she asked.

Belle admitted, “Initially, I doubted it too. But the incident created a massive stir that night. People are still talking about it. It must be genuine.”

“Violet, worth ten billion?” Emily’s jealousy had reached new heights.

Her sister was beautiful, but ten billion dollars? Even if her beauty topped all other women on the

planet, she couldn’t be worth 10 billion dollars.

Belle speculated, “Who knows? Maybe some wealthy old men, flush with cash and nowhere to

spend it, fell for her charm.”

To be honest, Belle was envious of this finding. She viewed Violet as nothing extraordinary.

Why would anyone pay ten billion for her? Belle had withheld this information from Emily until she

could verify it, finding the concept of purchasing someone for such a sum to be dubious to her.

Emily grasped the meaning in Belle’s words, and wondered, “So, an elderly man bought her?”

Belle neither confirmed nor denied it, as the buyer’s identity was concealed behind a mask when he went on stage. His identity, age, and other details remained unknown.

She reasoned, “It’s a simple guess. How many young men can afford to spend ten billion dollars
