Chapter 130 Auction Showdown

Holding a small hammer, the auctioneer expertly gestured for bids while speaking fluently in English, showcasing a high level of professionalism.

Anton sneaked a peek at the bidder beside him.

Quickly jotting down a figure in their notebook, the bidder confidently raised their paddle, declaring, "4.5 million dollars."

A bid of 4.5 million dollars!

Mr. and Mrs. Blake felt a moment of unease. Attempting to discern who had placed the bid proved difficult, as they could only glimpse a few heads before them without a clear view of the bidder. Zelena felt her parents' uncertainty and unwillingness to buy the bangle for her.

She reminisced about her previous life when Mr. and Mrs. Blake had lavished millions on jewellery for Violeta, making this 4.5 million dollar bid seem insignificant by comparison.

A pull at her heartstrings prompted Zelena to intervene, "Dad, Mom, it's okay. While the bangle is indeed beautiful, it's overly expensive. We shouldn't go for it. I've always embraced simplicity and never adorned myself in costly jewellery; it might not even look good on me. Let's skip this one."

Zelena was firm in her stance.

Utilising emotional appeal, she reminded her parents of her struggles before rejoining the Blake family. Despite now being recognised as the esteemed eldest daughter of the Blake family, they wavered on purchasing the jewellery for her.

Mrs. Blake was struck by guilt, thinking of Zelena, the daughter she had carried for ten months.

"Lena, please don't say such things. It would break my heart. This bangle is well within our means, and I assure you, it will be yours."

She then nudged Mr. Blake, signalling him to bid higher and secure the bangle for Zelena.
