Chapter 262
Queenie shouted excitedly, "2.5 million dollars!"
She couldn't and wouldn't lose to a lowly adopted daughter! This thought was embedded into Queenie's psyche,
driving her into a frenzy as she becdetermined to snatch this necklace from Yolanda.
She had already decided that once she won the necklace, she would flaunt it in front of Yolanda. As long as she
could see Yolanda's disappointed expression, spending over 2 million dollars would still be worth it.
"2.5 million and 50 thousand dollars." Yolanda continued to raise the bid.
Queenie glanced suspiciously at Gavin, wondering why he was letting Yolanda spend so much money. Even if the
Savage family was wealthy, casually spending over 2 million on a worthless necklace for a girlfriend seemed
ridiculous.
Queenie decided that she couldn't let Yolanda continue provoking her. She needed to end this auction quickly
and crush Yolanda completely.
Queenie called out loudly while clenching her teeth, "3 million dollars!"

Her bid caused the entire banquet hall to fall silent.
The surrounding guests watched Queenie with interest, thinking that anyone willing to spend over 3 million
dollars on this necklace must be out of their minds. To outsiders, it looked like a rivalry between two young ladies
of similar age.
Thus, Queenie's behavior becthe perfect fodder for gossip.
"Why is the young lady from the Thompson family so fixated on outbidding her? Do they have skind of
grudge?"
"Who knows? Maybe she's just upset that even a woman as ugly as that one managed to find a handsome
boyfriend."
"Ha! You're so out of the loop. That young man over there is the heir of the Savage family, Gavin. The woman
sitting beside him is from the Henderson family. She's the one who snatched her own sister's fiancé to get to this
position!" "Oh, my! That's tic!"
"This ugly woman must have stricks up her sleeve."
"Which Henderson family is that? I've never heard of them."
"It's just a second-rate family. Of course, you wouldn't have heard of them. If it weren't for the grandparents
being old friends and setting up an arranged engagement for them from a young age, there's no way a small
family like theirs would have landed such a windfall."
"Tsk... For such an ordinary family to latch onto a powerhouse like the Savage family-they sure are darn lucky."
Speople made sarcastic remarks, mostly out of jealousy over how an insignificant family like the Henderson
family managed to establish ties with the Savage family. However, most simply enjoyed the spectacle between
Queenie and Yolanda.
Yolanda glanced back at Queenie once more. Yolanda could tell from her eyes and expression that she had
already lost her rationality.
Therefore, Yolanda raised her paddle again. "3 million 50 thousand dollars."
Queenie was so furious that she felt like she was going to explode. If Yolanda had been raising the price
significantly each time, it would have been one thing, but she was only increasing it by 50 thousand dollars each
time.
"As expected of someone from a second-rate family to pull a petty move like this!" Queenie cursed under her
breath.
She glared viciously at Yolanda and angrily said, "3.5 million!"

She needed to widen the gap and make it impossible for Yolanda to continue competing.
"3.5 million and 50 thousand."
"4 million!"
"4.5 million and 50 thousand dollars."
Their bidding went on until a stunning figure was called out.
"7 million!"
Queenie had truly lost her mind. By the tshe realized it, the price had been driven up by a huge amount. Her
emotions were a tangled mess now, and she didn't know whether she wanted Yolanda to back down or keep
pushing forward.
Although her family was wealthy, they weren't at the point of throwing money around recklessly, especially since
she only received annual dividends from the company. She wouldn't get another payout until the end of the year.
Given her extravagant lifestyle, her regular salary barely covered her expenses.
She only had around 1 million dollars in her account right now. Spending 7 or 8 million dollars on a necklace
would leave her with not enough to buy Oliver a gift.
