The bidding for an ordinary bracelet soaring to 800 thousand dollars. was beyond everyone’s expectations.

It was all because of Ashley’s fame that drove up the bracelet’s value.

Patrick, unwilling to back down, bid. “Nine hundred thousand dollars.”

Joseph gave Ashley a thumbs up, impressed by her popularity.

Ashley looked back and saw a rather handsome young man, not yet thirty, blushing and scratching his head shyly as everyone praised him.
