Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 38

At the auction, the auctioneer moved through the early lots with practiced elegance. Neither Asher nor Drake showed interest until the pink diamond necklace appeared.

“Opening bid at £400,000,” the auctioneer announced with polished precision.

Drake immediately raised his paddle. After several rounds, the price reached £600,000, most bidders falling away.

“£620,000,” Drake called.

The auctioneer gestured elegantly. “£620,000. Shall we try £650,000?”

Asher raised his paddle with casual indifference.

“£650,000. Do we have any advance?”

Drake shot Asher a venomous glance before bidding again. A subtle war unfolded between them, the price climbing steadily.

At £700,000, Drake remained resolute. The necklace would be worth every penny if it helped secure Sterling Industries‘ investment. The old saying rang true – sometimes you had to spend money to make money.

“£750,000,” Asher countered smoothly.

“£800,000,” Drake snapped.

As Asher moved to bid again, Thalia touched his arm. “Let it go. It’s not worth this.”
