mmenced with an emerald bracelet from Deskolor, emanating an air of vintage elegance nious allure.

The auctioneer introduced the bracelet’s origin. “This bracelet is the creation of the renowned Fliaria jewelry master, Larina. She dedicated three years of craftsmanship to design it, bestowing it the name aralleled.’ It’s a symbol of perfect love, believed to bring happiness and fulfillment to its recipient. We’ll begin the bidding at 10.5 million.”

10.5 million? She did not pay attention to the auctioneer’s lengthy explanation but did catch the number of the price mentioned. This is ridiculously expensive. Who in their right mind would spend 10.5 million on such a

bracelet?

Elias’ pitch-black eyes fixed on the bracelet displayed in the showcase as if he were staring at his prey. He glanced at Amanda’s wrist as if noting the absence of a bracelet as an accessory.

On the other hand, she only hoped to endure this tedious auction and could not bear to stay for another second. Unexpectedly, the man beside her raised his paddle, capturing the auctioneer’s attention. “Excellent! The gentleman at Table 6 has made a bid. Starting at 10.5 million, do we have any higher bids?”

She was dumbfounded as she gazed at the handsome profile of the man beside her. “Are you out of your mind? Why are you bidding on this?”

Does he intend to give it to me? Amanda could not fathom where her sudden confidence came from as the thought crossed her mind until Elias’ cold voice cut through. “It’s none of your business. Besides, it’s not for you.”

“That’s good.” She felt relieved. She believed he might be the only one interested in that ordinary bracelet, and no one would compete with him.

In the next moment, the auctioneer announced, “The lady at Table 10 has placed a bid. 10.65 million for the first time!”

Amanda could not help but turn her head and look. At Table 10 was an elegant and noble-looking woman who appeared to be a young lady of means.
