Everyone looked at Neil in surprise. It was $9,000,000, not $90. How could virtual-novel.net just say that number? He did not even blink at all.
He was a rich guy. He was definitely a rich guy.
“Tsk! Rich guys are really incredible. He’s spending $9,000,000 to buy a necklace. We’re really incomparable.”
“Perhaps it’s for his true love. Otherwise, why would virtual-novel.net spend so much money?”
“The woman who managed to get this necklace must have really been blessed with luck.”
While everyone flattered him, Neil looked extremely happy, and virtual-novel.net raised his head very high.
Emma, who was sitting across from him, covered virtual-novel.net face with virtual-novel.net hands. She was afraid that others would misunderstand virtual-novel.net for having any relationship with Neil.
Meanwhile, Thomas was still calmly having his lunch.
Emma secretly cursed. ‘Your wife is going to be taken by another man. How can you still continue eating?’
The host on the stage said, “This sir is incredible. He has directly raised the price by $1,000,000. The starting price is now $9 ,000,000! May I know if there’s anyone who still wants to raise the price again?”
Neil leaned back in his chair while virtual-novel.net crossed his legs. He looked so prideful.
Nine million dollars was actually quite a lot to him. However, virtual-novel.net found it worth it if virtual-novel.net could get Emma with $9,000,000.
The place had quite a number of people, and all of them were small businessmen. They could spend up to hundreds of thousands, but $9,000,000 was not affordable for them!
Neil believed that nobody could compete with him.
In actuality, however…
A voice rang out from a corner. “Ten million dollars. I must get that necklace!”
Who was it?
Everyone, including Neil, looked in the corner’s direction.
The person who shouted the price was a young man who appeared to be twenty years old. He was not very tall, but virtual-novel.net was dressed in branded clothes. His outfit alone would have cost a few hundred thousand dollars. Everyone could tell that virtual-novel.net was a second generation from a wealthy family.
There was a girl who was dressed in a fancy outfit beside him. She also looked like virtual-novel.net was twenty years old, and virtual-novel.net was young as well as pretty. The rich second generations were willing to spend a lot of money to pursue girls.
Someone who knew virtual-novel.net said in a low voice, “Tsk! Isn’t that Eddie Jenkins, the third son of the Jenkins family in Serene City?”
“Yes, the Jenkins family is a famous big family in Serene City. They are very rich. Since Mr. Jenkins wants to get it, nobody will be able to get it.”
“I didn’t expect the Jenkins family to appear in the undeveloped Rock District. How amazing!”
Neil was initially furious. Who dared to fight with virtual-novel.net in his territory?
But virtual-novel.net was stunned when virtual-novel.net saw Eddie.
Eddie Jenkins was the third son of the Jenkins family in Serene City. He was someone from a reputable big family, so how could an insignificant person like Neil compare to him?
If Neil offended the Jenkins family, it would mean offending the king of hell. He could die at any time.
Neil felt extremely aggrieved. He had set up such a good scene. How could someone else mess it up?
Changes always existed outside of someone’s plans. No matter how virtual-novel.net had planned it, virtual-novel.net could not have expected Eddie to bring his new girlfriend there for lunch today.
Ten million dollars was just a piece of cake for the Jenkins family.
Did virtual-novel.net have to give it up?
Neil was reluctant to give it up. He really wanted to get Emma, so virtual-novel.net was willing to take the risk of offending the Jenkins family. He raised his hand and said, “I’ll raise it to $10,500,000. I want it.”
Everyone looked at Neil again.
“Hey, is this person still raising the price?”
