A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407 

Hurry up and wrap it up for me,Marina said, quickly pulling out her card and giving Queena an aggressive look 

In an antique shop like this, sales are few and far between 

Upon hearing Marina’s straightforwardness and not a moment of hesitation, the owner quickly wrapped up the turquoise ring and was about to swipe the card when Queena, who had just been enlightened by Cynthia and wasn’t actually interested in buying the ring, felt incensed by the woman’s gaze

How dare the act so 

scky?Queena thought

As for the turquoise ring, she was certain that this woman hadn’t even looked at it before; she only made her move because they were interested, clearly trying to snatch it away from them

With a calm demeanor, Queena spoke up. Excuse me, but how do you know we’re not interested in buying this ring?” 

The owner paused, taken aback by Queena’s words. He was silently weighing the situation. What a day to have two customers seemingly willing to pay a premium for what was likely a replica

This piece, whether it could be considered an antique or not, and even its authenticity as turquoise, were both up for debate. It seemed neither of these women were experts, and he might just take advantage of the situation to make a tidy profit

He retracted the bag he was about to hand to Marina, feigning a difficult decision. Now that both of you are interested. I propose a friendly bid. The highest bidder takes it home

No way. I called dibs on it,” Marina retorted angrily, her eyes unwavering 

The owner maintained a sly smile. Miss, you’re both valued customers. I’m in a tough spot here.

Is this how you conduct business snapped Marina

Miss, I apologize. Regardless of Marina’s frustration, the owner kept up his cheeky grin

With the item in the owner’s hands, Marina had no choice but to hold her tongue

She had caught a glimpse of the price when the owner was packing it just a few thousand dollars. If she could get an authentic piece at that price, it would be an incredible deal. But if they started bidding, there was no telling where the price might go

Marina hesitated, considering her options

Cynthia exchanged a look with Queena. Feel like having some fun!

Queena’s eyes widened with curiosity. Then she saw Cynthia raise her hand, a smile on her face as she addressed the owner. I’m in for the bidding I wonder if this lady is interested.” 

Marina was for. The birthday party she was attending was of great importance, and she needed a presentable gift 

As she saw how much these two women seemed to want the turquoise ring, it might indeed be a good value

She could join the bidding and back out if the price got too steep. It would also serve to annoy the two women

Marina nodded in agreement, and the owner couldn’t hide his delight

Cynthia started the bidding war by raising the price by 3 thousand dollars

Marina felt a joltbids like that could quickly drive the price over 30 thousand dollars

It seemed the turquoise ring had some real worth, given how generously the other bidder was playing. Marina didn’t hesitate to counter

15 thousand dollars” 

20 thousand dollars,” 

Cyntlala responded immediately, her confidence showing 

22 thousand dollars” 

25 thousand dollars

The price quickly soared to 60 thousand dollars

With each of Marina’s bids, Cynthia would match, exuding an air of determination to win

Chapter 407 

Marina was thrown off her game. On one hand, she thought spending t this much on a gift wasn’t worth it. On the other hand, seeing Cynthia’s certainty made her feel like she couldn’t let go of such a treasure

In this deadlock, the price skyrocketed to 100 thousand dollars, way over Marina’s budget. At that price, she could get a decent gift at the mall

As Marina hesitated, Cynthia gave her a knowing look, thinking it was time to wrap things up. She spoke sofily. Miss, if you’re not going to bid higher, then this treasure is mine

After a moment of silence from Marina, Queena, who was holding Cynthia’s arm, was sweating, her grip tightening involuntarily

Cynthia patted her hand in a comforting way. She wasn’t worried about Marina backing down. People who liked to snatch things from others craved the sense of victory. So even if Marina was torn, as long as it was within her means, she wouldn’t give up

Cynthia then dropped the final bombshell. Miss, if money is tight, just let it go. After all, not everyone can come up with this much money

As soon as Cynthia finished speaking. Marina was furious. This woman dared to look down on her. Even though she might not be able to come up with so much money right now, she couldn’t let Cynthia get the ring so easily

She angrily said, 105 thousand dollars

Hearing the continued bidding, the shopkeeper’s excitement was uncontrollable. He thought, Higher, higher, the more the better. This is how I make money off these fools

Marina looked at Cynthia triumphantly, as if to say, . You like this thing, don’t you? Co ahead” 

But after a long time, Cynthia still didn’t speak, and Marina was getting anxious inside

Miss, why don’t you bid more? Then this treasure will be mine, Marina mimicked Cynthia’s earlier provocation

But Cynthia just smiled slightly, Then I wish you finally got what you wanted” 

With that, she left with Queena. The owner of this shop could put fakes in the window and watch the price inflate like this, with no integrity at all

At this time, Marina in the shop looked at the back of the two people and was directly dumbfounded, not sure what was going on. Cynthia was just determined to get this thing a moment ago, but how did it change in a few seconds? She was still thinking about adding a few more
