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.”

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.

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.”

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

Mr. Blake lifted his paddle and offered, “4.8 million dollars.”
