Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 206 Playing the Game

Eric and I sat next to each other. Soon, the auction began.

Elise walked gracefully onto the stage, wearing a gilded gown.

As the opening remarks concluded, she auctioned off one item after another. I wasn't particularly interested in the first few items as they were just some artistic trinkets.

Before long, a pair of emerald bangles appeared in front of me. Elise's voice rang out clearly. "These emerald bangles were crafted by the renowned gem expert, Mr. Walker Senior. They're completely flawless, with a rich green hue throughout. "The starting bid is a million dollars."

I raised my paddle without hesitation. "I call for 1.3 million dollars."

These bangles were of high quality, and compared to the previous items, they were on a completely different level.

Of course, the other attendees were also eyeing them. Soon, the bid was at two million dollars.

I stopped bidding. These bangles weren't worth two million dollars to me, and if someone else wanted them, I was willing to let them have them.

"2.2 million dollars."

Just as I was preparing for the next item, Eric's voice suddenly sounded beside me. I glanced at him in surprise.

I could say anything, another familiar voice came from across the room.
