Chapter 210

Chapter 210 The Proposal Ring

The crowd at the auction was cheering at Zachary, "Raise your paddle! Keep it going!"

Zachary was completely taken aback.

He only wanted to spend a little money on a diamond ring for fun, yet it had turned into such a huge spectacle.

Eighty million for a ring that was only worth five million? He wasn't insane!

Feeling bitter from the crowd's taunts, Zachary faced a tough decision. The shouts for him to increase his bid grew louder around him.

Seeing his hesitation, Alice shoved him and urged, "Zachary, keep bidding!"

He felt as if he had swallowed something unpleasant and was deeply conflicted. If he kept bidding, he would look foolish!

It was clear that Robin wanted to inflate the price of the ring. He couldn't let that jerk outsmart him!

"Are you going to bid or not?" Alice was growing impatient, feeling the pressure from the crowd's stares.

With a pained look, Zachary replied, "Alice, bidding 80 million for this ring is ridiculous! If you want it, we can just go to a jewelry store tomorrow."

"Oh, so you're worried about money for a proposal ring? How silly!" Ruby mocked him, speaking with a biting tone.

Zachary was ready to snap back but held his tongue because Ruby was the heiress of the Brookhaven Martial Alliance.

Alice looked shocked and turned to Zachary, anger in her eyes.

"Zachary, have you been pretending the whole time? You're hesitating over a proposal ring!

"More importantly, are you really going to let Robin win because of this? Doesn't that embarrass you? How can I ever face the upper class in Harmonfield again? "You've ruined my reputation! If you don't keep bidding, we're done!"

"Alice, you're misunderstanding. I didn't mean it like that."

Zachary tried to explain, but when he saw Alice ignoring him, he gritted his teeth and yelled, "One hundred million!"

He hoped that would be enough to deter Robin from bidding again.

As soon as Zachary announced that price, the room fell silent, followed by gasps.

That was indeed an outrageous amount for the ring.

Everyone thought Robin wouldn't raise the bid anymore.

"Two hundred million!"

Before Alice could celebrate, Robin, who had been lounging in his chair with his eyes closed, suddenly shouted his bid.

The auction house went silent once more.
