Chapter 624
Just as Harriet was about to refuse, another person stepped forward.
"Your offer is too low! Are you trying to take advantage of this lady's ignorance? Ms. Munoz, I'm willing to buy this gem for five million dollars. If you're willing to see, we can negotiate the price," he said.
The venue then descended into chaos.
The people started to make bids, each offering a higher price than the previous one.
They acted as if they were in an auction house.
The only difference was the absence of an auctioneer. It was noisier there, and the prices went up faster.
In just a short while, the price had soared to 90 million dollars.
In the venue, the subordinates of many important figures started calling their bosses to inform them about the extraordinary gem that had appeared there.
Everyone had only one thought in mind. To get the gem!
They didn't care if Harriet had cheated or about her bet with Lily.
All they knew was that the gem they desired was in Harriet's hands. As long as their offers were good enough, they would get it.
To them, it was not just a gem.
It represented reputation and prestige.
It symbolized power and wealth.
If the salesperson had introduced that stone to her, she would have been the winner.
If she won, she wouldn't have to endure Harriet's and Lewis's humiliation.
Lily's face twisted with jealousy, and she slammed the table next to her.
The place quieted down, and she said, "Harriet obtained this gem through cheating. Don't you think it's dirty?"
Harriet handed the gem to Delbert and looked at Lily.
If Lily hadn't been so confrontational, she wouldn't have bothered to expose the fact that Lily had been introduced to all the raw stones in the venue by the salesperson, knowing which ones could produce precious gems.
But since Lily insisted on crossing the bottom line, she would show no mercy.
