Inside the room, Diamond found herself being questioned as the other item was brought for another bid.
"Why buy it? You could have just let it go!"
Diamond sighed when she heard the twins asking her that.
If it wasn’t a mission prop, she wouldn’t have wasted her money like that but that wasn’t something that she could tell these people.
Besides, with the appearance of Donald. Even if it was something that she didn’t like. She wouldn’t mind spending so much like that. Of course, it would be better if he were the one who ended up paying such an amount.
Unfortunately, she was the desperate one in this round. So, she could only pay.
Moreover, what was the big deal with spending such money?
Now everyone would know her name.
This was the best promotion ever. Although many would see her as impulsive and a big spender. Only she understood the importance of that dagger.
She looked at the twins with a gentle smile and said, "What if I tell you that someone else’s life is being held back because of that dagger?"
The twins’ eyes bulged when they heard that.
"You .... Sis, you don’t mean to say that the dagger is really cursed, right?"
Diamond chuckled as she looked to the front, where an ongoing battle was occurring.
"Um, it’s cursed, but don’t worry, it won’t affect unrelated people."
"Sis, does that mean that you know who the cursed person is?" the twins asked curiously, their voices tinged with anticipation.
Even the adults couldn’t help but eavesdrop as they participated in the bidding.
Diamond gave a mysterious smile but didn’t answer that. However, that provided everyone with enough information. They could only suck in a cold breath, wondering what was going on.
Dean, on the other side, couldn’t help but look at her with complicated eyes.
’What more secrets is she hiding?’ he was curious.
Meanwhile, in the Dickens room, Portia was on the verge of driving her father crazy.
"Daddy, is there anything special about the dagger? Otherwise, why would she bid for it at such a crazy amount?"
"Daddy, do you think that Diamond and that man have beef with each other?"
Portia was busy asking her father so many questions he didn’t have any answers to and his head was swelling. He was even distracted in the bidding but he couldn’t bear yell at his princess.
Who made her his precious?
Meanwhile, in the same hall, Letty was all smiles as she thought about the previous battle.
She had seen people spending money before but this reckless, that was a first. However, that move was a good one because she could hear the people sitting closer to her still talking about Diamond.
They were very curious about her, and being remembered mattered when attending such events. It meant that the network would expand. Who didn’t live without connections?
After a long battle, the item was sold to someone in private room 1. It was a special medallion that Diamond wasn’t interested in. However, through listening to Prince, she learnt that the medallion could grant the holder three favors from the auction house.
It was a special auction item which was only sold once every year. Who didn’t like having the auction house owing them favors?
That’s why the medallion was costly to get.
It got auctioned off for A$500 million. She could see how special it was for anyone to be willing to spend so much money.
It seems that Evelyn will be bleeding pretty soon.
Anyway, after all the long drama, the last part of the auction finally arrived, and everyone became alert and attentive. Even Diamond was serious when Evelyn started.
"Now we have come to the final part of the auction and the moment that everyone had been waiting for ...."
"I wonder what they are selling this time!"
"It should be extraordinary. Last year, they auctioned an antique shop. It sold for hundreds of millions."
"What could it be this year?"
Everyone was anxious and looking forward to the surprise.
"Tonight we shall be auctioning off a piece of land that a lot of you had been itching to own ....."
Boom!
