Hearing what Sofia just said.
Emma was stunned.
Her breath hitched as she turned to Sofia, her mind racing.
"What?" she thought, her eyes narrowing in disbelief.
Sofia had just been offered the Red Diamond Necklace for far less than what the auction had ended at.
Yet, without a second thought, she had rejected it.
It didn't make sense, Emma had watched her battle in auctions before, had seen her relentlessly go after what she wanted.
And yet…Here she was, walking away from a golden opportunity.
However Emma had barely recovered from the first shock when the strange man spoke again.
This time, his tone was more urgent, his confidence slightly cracked.
"I'll sell it for twenty million dollars."
At that moment in time the murmurs in the room died down as the remaining guests watched closely.
This was practically a steal.
The strange man had outbid everyone at thirty-six million dollars, and now, he was slashing the price by sixteen million.
