of the Rose. Her grip tightened around the bidding paddle, and then, with a firm yet unassertive

She feared someone might further escalate the bidding. Her worries materialized when a middle–aged

Mia bit her lip, refusing to back down, “Four hundred million!”

Those who had contemplated vying for the Tears of the Rose shook their heads in resignation as the price soared to four hundred million, with no signs of stopping. They turned their heads, now keenly interested in the bidding war between Mia Ashworth and the middle–aged man.
