The discussions around them continued without pause, and some people openly glanced in the direction of the Montgomery family.
"I can't believe it! The Montgomery family could only bid up to seventy million for Amelia, and then the gentleman on the second floor casually bid a hundred million without blinking an eye! He just gave it to Victoria!"
"When you compare it like this, the Montgomery family is nothing!"
"Damn it, I was just saying how Victoria doesn't have the good fortune like Amelia, but then a mysterious tycoon casually spends a hundred million to give her a gift! Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"If someone is willing to spend a hundred million for me, I'd be ecstatic!" This was a female guest, her eyes fixed on the second-floor private room, her face filled with longing. She couldn't help but envy the situation.
Hearing these words, jealousy surged within Amelia.
Victoria... Victoria...
How did this despicable girl, unwanted by her father, mother, and brother, manage to overshadow her at every turn, starting from the 'National Dancing Contest'?
Someone actually spent a hundred million just to give a gift to Victoria!
Who was it?!
Amelia's nails dug deeply into her palm, her face uglier than ever before.
The expressions of Dempsey and Lucas were equally unpleasant.
Only Trent's face showed no significant change, but his eyebrows were tightly knit, indicating his displeasure.
True or false, real or fake, these discussions made him feel like he was being stabbed in the back. Had the Montgomery family truly mistreated Victoria?
In the second-floor private room, Davis carefully placed the gift box on the table and opened it. "Mr. Moore, Miss Victoria, this is the necklace named 'Eternity.'"
Victoria stared at the necklace inside the box, her mind unable to catch up with the reality.
Jack was actually giving her a gift?
And he spent such a huge sum?
Davis took out the contract for employing Victoria as a senior appraiser, asking her to sign it.
After signing, Davis tactfully withdrew and gestured to Jamal, who also left the private room.
Now, only Victoria and Jack remained in the room.
Unable to restrain her curiosity, Victoria asked in bewilderment, "Are you alright? Why did you suddenly give me a gift?"
Jack counter-questioned, "Don't you like it?"
Victoria was even more puzzled. She did like Violet's designs, but...
"Are you giving it to me just because I like it?"
The man lazily responded, "Is that not allowed?"
"It's not that it's not allowed; it's just... I find it a bit strange."
For the first time, Victoria was truly at a loss for words. Jack, despite their past enmity, was suddenly giving her a hundred million necklace. It was just too sudden.
Her long, delicate eyelashes trembled slightly, and she didn't know what to say.
Jack's lips curled up slightly, his smile lazy and carefree. "Consider it... a wedding gift for you."
The name "Eternity." had a good meaning.
Victoria was surprised.
A wedding gift?
Was there such a thing?
It was her first marriage, and she had no experience with this sort of thing.
She had never heard of wedding gifts before.
Victoria looked at the luxurious and beautiful sapphire necklace in the box, pursing her lips. "Do I need to give you something in return?"
She was truly puzzled.
