FakeNovelChapter 263
However, just as Queenie started feeling uneasy, Yolanda raised the bid again.
"7.5 million."
Queenie's hands started trembling. What should she do? Should she continue bidding or give up and becthe
laughingstock of society?
"Wow, that's impressive. | think this is the highest bid of the night so far!"
"The young people nowadays are really something..."
The murmurs of the surrounding guests reached Queenie's ears. It drove her to blurt out, "8 million!"
The price she just shouted was an exorbitant amount. That much money was more than enough for ten emerald
necklaces, let alone just one.

Still, Queenie refused to believe that Yolanda could afford to pay such a high price for this necklace. As she
placed her bid, she glanced at Gavin, hoping desperately that he would take action.
She thought, "Con. Scold her already! Tell her to stop bidding! This is your money! Are you really going to
be a fool who spends 8 million on one necklace?"
Of course, Gavin had no idea what Queenie was thinking. Even if he did, he would probably just think she was
laughable.
Forget 8 million dollars-even if it were 80 million dollars, Gavin wouldn't bat an eye at swiping his card as long as
Yolanda wanted it. When it cto indulging his girlfriend, Gavin was always in a league of his own.
Unfortunately, Yolanda had never given him the chance to play the role of a spendthrift boyfriend.
"8 million 50 thousand dollars," Yolanda uttered.
Just as everyone wondered whether the bidding war would continue, Yolanda raised her paddle yet again.
"8.2 million dollars!" It was obvious that Queenie was struggling now, and the increments she added were
getting smaller and smaller.
Another ten minutes passed, and the price for Night Emerald had risen to 9.85 million dollars.
Queenie felt as if she was being tied to a stake and burnt alive-it was excruciating. She only had a little over a
million dollars left in her account. Logically, she should have given up by now.
But she couldn't bring herself to quit every tshe thought of Yolanda's smug expression. She kept pushing
herself each time, thinking, "Just one last gamble!"
Queenie gritted her teeth and forced out a few words through clenched teeth. "10 million dollars!"
The room fell silent once more. This time, the silence lingered for a long time. Yolanda calmly lowered her
paddle, indicating that she would no longer bid.
"10 million, going once!"

"10 million, going twice!"
As the outcbecapparent, the host grew excited.
"10 million, going thrice! Sold! Congratulations, Ms. Thompson!"
The hall erupted in applause. But to Queenie, it was as if she had gone deaf-she couldn't hear a thing. She stared
blankly at the thrilled host, who seemed to be saying something to her, but none of it registered.
Queenie had spent all the money in her account to buy a necklace worth barely over a million dollars. She won
against Yolanda and should be celebrating her victory now. But for sreason, she felt no joy at all.
The mocking words she had prepared to taunt Yolanda with after winning the necklace were now completely
forgotten.
What was most unbearable for her was that when she glanced at Yolanda, she didn't see the slightest hint of
frustration or disappointment on her face.
In that instant, Queenie realized that she had been played.
