My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Jonathan looked at Liliana but she was staring at her necklace with determined eyes and a distant smile. She looked regal and untouchable.

He looked around and saw the notable people looking at their box to catch sight of someone. Liliana. He immediately realized that they were trying to get a glimpse of her.

Vivian could tell something was about to happen. She did not really care about the auction or any other people there.

She had come there knowing Jonathan would be there. But the way everyone was looking at Box 1 made her nervous like something bad was going to happen.

Rose and Lester were immersed in their own worlds. They would not have understood the significance of the necklace anyway.

But even they could tell something was off as the host did not explain anything about the necklace. He very subserviently bowed at it and said let’s begin. His whole demeanor had changed and he was being utterly focused.

Yet, he did not even announce the starting price of the necklace. This was very odd. No auction item would be left without a bidding price.

A well-known collector started the bid with 500 million dollars.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Romeo was stunned and then laughed venomously. He was not going to let Rose off the hook.

Rose shuddered to the core. Was that bitch Anne really so rich?

Rose had randomly picked this necklace amongst a sea of jewelry in Anne’s closet.

Another collector immediately raised the price to 1 billion dollars.

Not to be outdone, another collector raised, “1. 2 billion dollars.”

The first collector sighed, “1. 5 billion dollars.”

Some other collectors and private enthusiasts kept on raising the price while the elites of the P city cooled down watching the show.

It was very strange that most of the established and older elites kept quiet and enjoyed the show.

The people who had been familiar with Leon knew this necklace would never leave the possession of the Petrovas. It would not do to play a silly game.

However, some new blood wanted to prove themselves and joined the game as well.

“2 billion dollars.”

“2. 5 billion dollars.”

“3 billion dollars.”

“3. 3 billion dollars.”

The competition became less fierce after this.

“3. 5 billion dollars.”

“4 billion dollars.”

“4. 1 billion dollars.”

“4. 3 billion dollars.”

Finally, Jonathan placed his bid and everyone quieted down in helplessness.

“10 billion dollars.”

The private collector who had offered 200 billion dollars to Liliana a few years back offered 15 billion dollars.

Jonathan smiled at him, “20 billion dollars.”

Everyone there knew that the CEO and President of the Smith Group, Jonathan Smith was extremely wealthy and ruthless. He always got what he wanted.

There was no point in getting in his way and irritating him. He had money to squander, which was not the case for others.

And so Jonathan bought the necklace for a whopping 20 billion dollars amidst most of the upper class and most of the collectors around the world.
