The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 118

"Don’t I know how much money Freya has?" Kieran's voice was icy as he commanded, "Raise the bid."

"Right away."

"Ninety million!"

Jarrett lifted the paddle, and the crowd was visibly stunned. The necklace's price was about to skyrocket nearly tenfold!

Freya turned to Preston next to her and said, "Mr. Tyler, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

Preston knew Kieran was dead set on getting that necklace from the get-go and had her drive up the price with Kieran.

After Preston had Eloise escorted out, Kieran's pride took a hit. There was no way he'd lose to Freya. Kieran would bid on that necklace even if it were to save face.

"Just remember what you promised me." Preston leaned back in his chair, casually saying, "I must have that necklace."

"You..." Freya saw that Preston was deliberately boxing her in. But she wasn't scared. ‘Want to play? Let's play.’

"A hundred million!" Freya's bid silenced the room.

And this was just the beginning!

Ms. Dawson was playing for high stakes!

"One hundred and fifty million."

During the silent battle between Kieran and Freya, a voice sneered, breaking the tension. To everyone's surprise, the latecomer Ronan bid one hundred and fifty million for the piece!

"Mr. Sutton, this price is outrageous. Mrs. Sutton would not be pleased to hear this. Besides, the necklace was for Ms. Harwood..." Jarrett reminded Kieran by his side.
