"What are you talking about? This brooch was given to me by Mr. Limbaugh!" Emilia was baffled.
Somehow, she had a bad hunch about this.
"Sorry, your details were written in the documents." The staff kept his smile on his face.
"Mr. Limbaugh is here. You can ask him yourself." Emilia furrowed her eyebrows.
How could they make such a mistake during a grand auction?
Everyone's gaze fell on Charleston.
Charleston lifted the corners of his lips and snapped his fingers charmingly.
Larry immediately played a recording.
"Mr. Limbaugh, I want this..."
"You want to buy it?"
...
"Miss Allen, our apologies. Mr. Limbaugh thought that you wanted to buy it, so he helped you bid for it since you are Miss Simon's classmate, and weren't qualified to join the bid as you weren't registered," Larry explained.
Emilia's face turned pale. She asked, "So, you're saying that this brooch was not given to me by Mr. Limbaugh?"
Not only did he not give it to her, but he only helped her because she was Margaret's classmate.
Emilia felt like she had been slapped in the face twice.
"Yes."
Larry's answer sent Emilia straight to hell.
She hurriedly took the brooch off and said, "Sorry, I don't want it anymore."
Two million dollars.
How could she get her hands on so much money?
"Sorry, but no refunds are allowed once the bid had been finalized." The staff said sternly.
Boom!
Emilia lost her cool.
"Mr. Limbaugh, please help me. Please..."
Charleston did not look at Emilia at all. He just kept playing with Margaret's black hair.
