The Heiress They Couldn't Break (Amelia and Jeremy) novel Chapter 490

The Heiress They Couldn’t Break

Chapter 490 Jewelry Set

As soon as the host announced the opening bid, Amelia placed her bid right away.

Finished

A few others joined in, but this item was pretty specialized and not many people understood it, so there wasn’t much real competition.

This time, both Gianna and Maxwell were convinced Amelia was pulling another stunt.

She looked overly eager, like she couldn’t live without it, obviously trying to trick them into bidding higher again:

They didn’t bite at all and didn’t place a single bid.

In the end, Amelia won the rare medicinal plant for a surprisingly low price.

“They probably thought I was trying to trap them again, so they stayed out. That saved us a fortune.”

Amelia had her heart set on getting this plant.

She’d even braced herself for a full-on bidding war with those two fools.

Who would’ve thought it would be that easy?

Tsk, tsk.

Looks like messing with them earlier was absolutely the right move.

“Haha, even if they had jumped in, we wouldn’t have worried,” Whitney said, clearly unconcerned about

money.

“This plant is extremely valuable. If we can grow it ourselves, we won’t have to pay insane prices or rely on foreign suppliers.”

“Relax, Mrs. Curran. I’m sure I can transplant it successfully.”

Both of them were pleased they’d come and walked away with something worthwhile.

Gianna was probably furious by now.

After that, many other odd and rare items came up, but neither Amelia nor Gianna lifted their paddles again.

Gianna, who had originally planned to keep targeting Amelia and suppress her at every turn, completely

lost her momentum.

She’d thought that with Maxwell as her personal ATM, and such a perfect chance to run into Amelia, she could finally crush her.

Who knew that bitch had Jeremy’s mother backing her up?

When it came to money, who could compete with the Currans? And they spent without blinking.

Chapter 490 Jewelry Set

After getting played and outshone again, Gianna felt so humiliated that she wanted to scream.

She didn’t even feel like bidding anymore.

Right before the auction ended, the final headline item was revealed.

Finished

“Next up is a jewelry set created by Xetharia’s princess in the early 20th century. It’s her most famous work. After her death, this set vanished.

“Now that it has reappeared, I’m sure no one here wants to miss this chance. Let’s see who tonight’s lucky owner will be!”

The host spoke with infectious excitement, eyes sparkling with genuine awe.

As soon as the stunning jewelry was displayed, the quiet room instantly heated up.

Especially the women-young heiresses and married socialites-perked up.

“Oh my god, it’s stunning. Those are top-grade rubies, super rare ones!”

“Exactly! They look red at first, but they gradually shift into light purple, pink, or deep violet with body temperature. So elegant and noble!”

“I want it so badly. They say if you confess or propose with this set, it’s guaranteed to succeed, and the couple will stay together forever.”

“I believe it. That princess and her husband truly loved each other and stayed faithful to each other their whole lives.”

“Honey, I don’t need anything else. You have to win this for me. This proves you love me the most!”

The atmosphere buzzed with excitement. Everyone chatted eagerly, eyes full of determination.

Then-

“The starting bid is ten million. Each increase must be at least one million. Bidding begins now.”

At that price, over half the crowd went quiet.

Ten million? That was insane.

Even for jewelry, the starting bid felt excessively high.

Earlier items had started at just one million.

Now that this set started at ten million, people were stumped.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t afford it, but no one wanted to dump their entire fortune into one piece.

Making a woman happy didn’t have to go that far.

So most people backed out.

“Maxwell, I want it! You have to get this for me!”

Finished

Gianna, who’d been totally uninterested, fell in love with the elegant, vintage jewelry at first sight.

She figured if she won it, she could show off to her friends and make Amelia jealous.

Normally, for something worth a few hundred thousand or even a million, Gianna wouldn’t even ask. She’d just bid without thinking twice.
