The auction carried on, with more jewelry pieces being displayed. Leah instantly liked a few, but after Maxwell had already spent five million, she didn't dare ask for more. So she watched helplessly as others snatched them up.

People around the room began throwing knowing glances at Leah and her group.

They had paid more than double for pearls of the same quality. They looked like total fools.

Leah was pissed off.
