Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 132 Additional Bracelet

He raised his paddle and shouted, "One million two hundred thousand!"

He thought the auctioneer in the front row would keep raising the bids, but to his surprise, there was no movement at all!

Mr. Blake was stunned.

After a three-second reminder from the auctioneer at the centre table, there were still no new bids.

With a decisive bang of the gavel, the auction was settled.

Mr. and Mrs. Blake were shocked. They had outsmarted themselves, one million and fifty thousand was already ridiculous, but now they were stuck with a price of 1.2 million. What a waste of money! However, backing out now would be too embarrassing.

They had to swallow their frustration, their expressions grim.

Next to them, Zelena was overjoyed.

Although she didn't acquire a bracelet valued in the tens of millions, obtaining a 1.2 million bracelet was still pretty great!

"Mom, Dad, thank you so much! I love you guys!"

Mrs. Blake forced a smile. "Lena, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters."

Although Zelena liked it, they always felt that they were at a loss.

The auction was over.
