“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.

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.
