Left with no other option, Alec grits his teeth and raises his paddle. "Twenty-one million."
The moment the words leave his mouth, Katie counters effortlessly, "Thirty million."
The entire hall erupts into chaotic whispers once again.
"Damn it, that woman is ruthless!" Alec curses under his breath.
Jade is seething with disdain. What a useless brother. He only raised it by one million? Why can't he be as aggressive and dominant as that old woman? It's not like the Dennis family is broke! He's just cheap. Despite her vicious thoughts, she tugs on his sleeve, her eyes welling with strategic tears. "Alec, please."
Trapped by her tears, Alec forces the words out, his heart bleeding at the cost. "Thirty-one million."
"Forty million," Katie fires back instantly, not even blinking.
Hmph. Trying to wage a financial war against her? Jade is digging her own grave. Does this boy not realize the Calhoun family literally prints money?
Alec tries one more time, but every single bid is met with Katie casually throwing down another ten million. The outcome is inevitable: Katie secures the legendary jewelry set.
