Chapter 149: Snatching the Necklace

At this moment.

"Good, this miss has added forty million, Forty million, once!"

It was only when the auctioneer's passionate voice echoed again in the banquet hall, that Justin Battleson managed to pull himself out of his reverie.

He paused slightly, the corners of his mouth slowly curving into a smirk, his eyes twinkling with intrigue.

A profound silence enveloped the room, and Charlotte Thompson felt countless eyes sizing her up.

With curiosity and scrutiny.

She sat where she was without any expression, but her mind was a tumultuous sea.

This necklace should hold no significant meaning to Justin, but for her, the meaning was about much more.

She squinted, her gaze subtly falling onto the man.

She saw the man casually raise his paddle, his voice sounding rather pleased.

"Fifty million."

Naturally, Charlotte wasn't one to back down. The moment Justin finished speaking, she lifted her paddle and announced her bid in a clear, cold voice.

"Sixty million."
