Chapter 216

Even Tina fiad figured out that the person who called the bid to a million earlier was Charles, and she quessed that he must be planning to buy it for Sonia. Hmph, she norted silently. Not in your wildest dreams! Raising her paddle again, she shouted, 1.2 million!

Next to her, the edge of Titus’ eyes twitched and he hurriedly tried to stop her, saying, “That’s enough, Tina. Stop increasing the bid because this ring isn’t worth that money at all.”

“I don’t care,” she snapped through gritted teeth, her eyes turning red. “I can’t let Sonia get what she wants!

Frowning. Titus was about to say something when another man shouted, *1.5 million!”

The auctioneer Sucked in a deep breath and announced the new bid with a shaky voice, resulting in another round of surprised gasps from the crowd.

Who’s this big shot that’s able to add a million to the bid just like that? They wondered in amazement and turned their heads to the first private suite.

Narrowing his aged eyes, Titus began to suspect that the one in the first private suite might be Toby, and he was very unhappy about the fact that Toby didn’t allow them into his private suite. After all, I’m his future father-in-law, he thought. Isn’t he worried that I’ll be unhappy if he did that?
