    Atalish hadn’t exputes that, in the blink of an eye. Valerie would end up with such a great item, a


    heart bottle, which was Turfe for an idder’s birthday gan


    Mh alen wanted a but, unfortunately, the didn’t have the money. However, she didn’t want Valerie


    to get it either.


    Valerie could see Maliah’s gloomy expression.


    Maliah said, “What’s so great alsout it?”


    Valerie raised an eyebrow. ‘It might not be great, but the money’s been paid! Miss Anderson, what


    about you?”


    Maliah was at a loss for words.


    Just then, a voice came from behind. “Mrs. Grant has excellent taste I truly admire it!”


    Everyone turned to see Owen arriving, and they immediately cleared a path for him.


    Maliah hurried to his side. “Dad, you finally came!”


    Owen patted her and, smiling, approached Valerie. “Maliah told me about the auction today. She


    was so excited to spend over ten million dors on a pearl ne. I wanted tomend her on


    her taste!


    “Didn’t expect you all to be so lucky to win the heart bottle! There’s a rumor that Mrs. Grant has a


    keen investment eye, and seeing it today confirms the rumor!


    When the others saw this, they hurriedly chimed in, “Mrs. Grant’s taste is naturally goo.”


    “She picked the right people to work with. Mr. Grant surely has no weak links!”


    “Mrs. Grant’s investment insight is impressive. Maybe she should start teaching us sometime.”


    Valerie looked at Owen, puzzled by his sudden high praise for her.


    Owen stepped forward. “To be honest, when ites to investment insight, I’m not convinced.”


    “Mrs. Grant is now venturing into the winery business. This is apetitive market. I wonder if Mrs.


    Grant truly has what it takes toe out on top!”


    Valerie said, “Let’s wait and see!” Her words made Owen smile.


    Owen said, “Why don’t we make a bet? Let’s see if your investment insight is as good as you im,


    not just in investment projects, but in personal investments as well!


    “Let’s give everyone a chance to see Mrs. Grant’s style!”


    As soon as Owen said this, everyone around became excited.


    “Have a bet, Mrs. Grant!”


    “Sure, we can learn something from this!”


    Valerie looked around, seeing their enthusiasm, and was somewhat taken aback by their


    excitement.


    Owen noticed and smiled, “Afraid to go through with it?”


    Valerieughed and said, “What do you want to bet on?”

    Owen, seeing her inquiry, said. “Naturally, we’ll bet on wine?


    “The wine selection for the next quarter is about to begin. Let’s tise that as our benchmark. The


    winner will be the one who Temer b?l on top.


    “If I win, you give me the heart bottle. If you win, we’ll give you the pearl ne. How about


    that?”


    Matthew scoffed. “Mr. Anderson is doing some serious calcting, 2 million dors for ten million


    dors!”


    Owenughed. “It’s a gamble. Isn’t that how you turn a small bet into a big win?”


    Valerie, despite the apparent disadvantage, agreed, “Alright, although it’s a bit of a loss for us, I


    ept!”


    She signaled Matthew to stay calm. Though confused, Matthew stood by her side in support.


    When he saw her agreement, Owen’s mood brightened.


    He knew Valerie was coborating with Danny, who had a renowned reputation. However, with


    Rowan holding all his forms, even Danny couldn’t win, so he was certain of victory!


    Valerie chuckled, “Let’s put it in writing. That way, no one can back outter!”


    She nced at Maliah, whose face turned dark. Maliah thought, ‘Is she doing this on purpose?


    Could we really back out? So many people are watching.


    Valerie, seeing Maliah’s angry expression, added, “By the way, Miss Anderson, you should make


    your payment first. Otherwise, I’m afraid the pearl ne might go unsold, and if I win, I can’t get


    the prize.”


    Maliah’s anger red up. “What are you talking about? When did I say I wouldn’t pay?”


    “She’s right!”

    Matthew interjected, “My wife is correct. The pearl ne is indeed rare. Not paying would be like


    taking it for free. Besides, you haven’t even received the item yet!”


    Maliah, flustered, eximed, “Dad!”


    The crowd looked at her, exchanging nces.


    “Indeed, Miss Anderson hasn’t paid yet!”


    “Yes. The heart bottle worth ten million dors is already in hand. Miss Anderson hasn’t made the


    payment for the pearl ne.”


    “I’ve never seen pearls worth over 2 million before. It’s different seeing them on stage versus up


    close!”


    Maliah stamped her foot, irritated by their eagerness for drama.


    She was about to lose her temper when Owen, smiling, said, “Don’t worry. Since I’m here, the


    money will definitely be paid.


    “Since we’re writing a receipt, I’llply. Let everyone see that we keep our promises!”


    Owen then wrote up the receipt, two copies, signed, and handed one to Valerie.


    The scene quickly became the talk of the event.


    “Now it’s for real!”


    “Of course, both families are prestigious figures. Can they be joking?”

    “Mrs. Grant, don’t regret itter. Since you dared topete with me, I’m waiting for you to beg for


    mercy!” Owen said.


    Valerie replied coolly, “Mr. Anderson, you should worry about yourself. As for the oue, let’s wait


    and see!”
