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.
