Dorothy did not have much money and looked at Kiara with a pitiful look. “Sister Kiara, I really like this brooch. Could you let me have it?”
Kiara mocked. “Now you remember to talk about giving way? Where was that attitude when you were taking what belonged to me? If you’re capable, add money and purchase it yourself.”
Dorothy’s eyes immediately turned red with grievance as she glanced toward Hugo.
Hugo’s expression hardened, and he lifted the paddle on Dorothy’s behalf. “Five million.”
Kiara bit down hard. “Eight million.”
“Ten million.”
Ten million for a brooch was indeed overpriced, and that was all the cash she currently had, so Kiara could only stop bidding.
In the end, Hugo won the brooch at ten million.
For every lot afterward, whenever Kiara showed interest, Dorothy would step in and take it.
Hugo thought naming prices was a waste of time. If Dorothy wanted something, he would send up a sky lantern right away.
Until the last item, it was a top-quality herb that could help her father’s heart problem.
Kiara bid again. When she saw Hugo about to send up another sky lantern, she could not stay quiet anymore.
“Hugo, are you going to take everything and leave nothing for anyone else?”
