Joanne and Lily kept bidding up the price.
The current bid was eight million dollars.
"Ten million dollars!" Joanne was a little frustrated, so she swiftly offered an additional two million dollars.
Meanwhile, Lily tilted her head and smiled playfully at her. "Ten million dollars? Forget it, that's too expensive. I can't afford it!"
Then, Joanne frowned and was about to respond when the auctioneer suddenly struck the gavel and declared, "Ten million dollars! Going once, going twice, sold! Congratulations, the earrings have been sold!"
Joanne could only stare at Lily angrily. "Did you do it on purpose?"
In the meantime, Lily raised her head calmly. "Weren't you trying to snatch it away from me on purpose anyway?"
"You!" Joanne's face turned pale and she clutched her chest.
Once the auctioneer passed the earrings to Joanne, everyone else returned to their senses. All of them had interesting reactions.
"This is definitely the most expensive earrings this year."
"It was a fierce battle between the two women."
"Have they gone mad?"
It was foolish to spend ten million dollars on a pair of earrings.
After that, the auction continued.
The second item was a curated landscape painting from the Levensons that was sold for 500 grand.
The third item was a blade of grass.
A commotion erupted once it was presented to everyone. The people in the box seats also walked out to see it. After staring at that blade of grass, they silently returned to their box.
