After speaking. ire held Sean Vanderbilt’s face and nted a firm kiss on his cool lips, then looking
into his deep eyes, she smiled radiantly. “With you saying that, I don’t feel the pinch
anymore.”
Sean chuckled and ruffled her hair, then turned his attention to the ongoing auction. ire’s diamond
ne, the one she designed and crafted, was now up for bidding and attracting a lot of interest.
“There,” he nudged ire, signaling towards her ne on disy.
ire smiled happily, tossed her paddle to Julia Sanders, and told her, “Bid for it.”
Suzanne Jenkins, hearing themotion, turned and saw Julia handing her the paddle. She hesitated
but epted it. She knew ire’s intention, but if the ne’s price soared too high, she wouldn’t
want ire to bear the cost for her.
ire seemed to sense Suzanne’s reluctance and reassured her with a smile, “Don’t worry about the
money. Just bid if you like it. Think about it, even if you spend five hundred million, it’s as if you‘ re only
spending one hundred and fifty million. Most of it wille back to us. So go ahead, bid freely. As long
as you perform well in your next movie and establish a strong international presence, a few hundred
million will be a trivial matter.”
Relieved by this thought, Suzanne’s spirits lifted. The ne was a gift from ire. Even if she won
the bid, seventy percent of the money would eventually return to ire. Paying thirty percent was
within her means.
“Alright,” she said cheerfully, shaking the paddle, “Then I won’t hold back.”
The bidding for the diamond ne had already reached two hundred and thirty million. Just then, a
middle–aged woman in the front row raised her paddle with a steady voice, “Five hundred million!”
Her direct jump to five hundred million deterred many bidders. ire was taken aback and looked
towards the woman. From her position, she could only see the woman’s back, unable to discern her
face.

Suzanne, caught off guard by the sudden hike in price, was still processing when another elegantdy
from the second row raised her paddle, “Six hundred million.”
The entire room buzzed with astonishment. The Tears of the Rose reaching six hundred million wasn’t
surprising, given its fame in the jewelry world. But this diamond ne, worth only a few tens of
millions in raw diamonds, being bid up to six hundred million seemed somewhat unjustified, even
considering that it was designed and handcrafted by COCO. Most people thought it wasn’t worth that
much.
As the crowd thought six hundred million was the ceiling, the middle–aged woman in the first row
raised her paddle again with aposed and elegant gesture, “Eight hundred million!”
ire Donovan was stunned, “Eight hundred million?” Even she hadn’t anticipated her ne would
fetch such a price. She bit her lip, looking at Suzanne Jenkins, who hadn’t even raised her paddle yet.
ire wasn’t worried about the money; she felt she could design a new set of jewelry for Suzanne with
that kind of money – after all, it was eight hundred million!
As ire turned to Suzanne, their eyes met, and Suzanne gave a helplessugh, gesturing with her
paddle in a way that clearly said she couldn’t bid that high. ire rubbed her forehead, chuckling
dryly.
Just as everyone thought eight hundred million was the final bid, the elegantdy in the second row
raised her paddle again, “Nine hundred million!”
ire was bbergasted, “Nine hundred million?”
Julia Sanders and Cassie Palmer were ecstatic, remembering Luna Lyons‘ earlier words about the top
jewel. They turned to see Mia Ashworth and Luna Lyons trembling with rage, bursting intoughter.
“ire, I think you might just drive Mia Ashworth and Luna Lyons mad tonight,” Cassie said, nodding
vigorously.
“I think so too. Look at them shaking with anger. This is hrious!” Julia added.
ire touched her nose, as surprised as anyone. She hadn’t intended to drive the price this high; it
was an unexpected delight.
Then, a woman’s voice rang out, “One billion!” Her voice brought a sudden hush over the room.
Everyone held their breath, curious to see the woman who could spend a billion on a diamond ne

Everyone held their breath, curious to see the woman who could spend a billion on a diamond
ne. The woman, however, remained seated and didn’t turn around, her gaze fixed on the stage.
Mia Ashworth and Luna Lyons were beside themselves with fury, their faces flushed red with anger.
“She must be a nt!” Mia eximed, convinced that without ire’s intervention, her Tears of the
Rose wouldn’t have gone over five hundred million. She refused to believe ire’s ne could sell
for that price.
Luna was beyond disbelief, her face turning the color of liver as she gripped the armrest tightly. her
face twisted with rage. “Impossible! A diamond ne can’t sell for that price. A billion
could buy half a jade mine!”
This logic wasn’t lost on the other guests, many of whom shared Mia’s suspicion that the woman was a
nt by ire.
