There are better ruby bracelets on the market than this one, but I've never seen anyone fight over one like this before. Everyone remained silent as the price soared, and I bet the sellers behind the scenes were laughing like crazy.
Juliette's goal this time was simple: she wanted to reclaim her pride, so she raised the price again. Sylvia couldn't stand it anymore and raised hers too.
"Thirty million."
Cyril couldn't ignore Sylvia's voice. After she spoke, Cyril, who had been intimidating earlier, fell silent. It wasn't clear if he was hesitating or doing something else. Juliette, on the other hand, looked at Sylvia in shock. She never expected Sylvia to raise her paddle voluntarily.
"This is only the first item, and you're already bidding. Isn't this inappropriate? Besides, this contest of pride has nothing to do with you. It's just that I'm a bit displeased with Cyril, and I don't want him to undermine my dignity."
Juliette quickly regained her composure and said seriously to Sylvia. She was simply annoyed that Cyril wanted to compete with her for this item, and she didn't want Cyril to erase her pride.
Sylvia looked at Juliette speechlessly. They had only just begun, and Juliette was already so impulsive. If her brother found out about this, Sylvia wouldn't bail her out. Juliette fell silent. She knew she had acted rashly, but she was annoyed. Now that Sylvia had spoken, she wouldn't compete anymore. In the end, Cyril didn't speak up again, and the ruby bracelet ended up in Sylvia's hands.
Seeing the bracelet in Sylvia's hands, Juliette couldn't help but sigh. "After all the back and forth, the bracelet ended up with you. I guess you two are really destined for each other. Of course, if I had known you were going to raise your paddle to suppress Cyril, I wouldn't have bid so high. This thing isn't worth that much."
Sylvia was speechless. Knowing it wasn't worth that much but still bidding, she didn't know whether to call Juliette childish or what.
In the following period, Juliette and Cyril seemed to be at odds. Whatever Juliette liked, Cyril had to snatch, and whatever Cyril liked, Juliette had to snatch. Not only was Sylvia speechless, but even Jonathan, who was with Cyril, also felt speechless. Was it necessary to fight over such trivial things? Would they still be able to do business together after making such a scene?
"There's no need. Do you have to keep fighting until you're satisfied? What's so good about this thing? It's not like there won't be another one today. Besides, the purpose isn't to compete for these items with Juliette."
Jonathan knew very well that Cyril was dissatisfied because he didn't manage to snatch the ruby bracelet initially. So, he satisfied himself by going against Juliette. But neither of them succeeded in snatching anything, and it ended up being cheap for others. Was it meaningful?
"It was him who wanted to compete with me from the beginning, and it's still the same now. All I have to do is follow his lead."
With Cyril's words, Jonathan had nothing to say. It was unclear who wanted to snatch whose things. Both of them seemed to have issues.
