Marco was rendered speechless. He leaned back, feeling hurt by her words.


    The first item was soon wheeled into the hall.


    It was a shiny emerald ring in a transparent box. The item was disyed on the screen for all to see.


    “This is the first item that was donated by Miss Torres. It’s a Cartier emerald ring. It’s made of pure


    emerald that was cut into a square. The silver base adds to its beauty. This auction will be conducted


    with no reserve price. The highest bidder for each item gets it. Let the show begin!”


    A sharp female voice was suddenly heard from a corner of the hall.


    “I bid one dor!”


    This offer caused a stir in the hall.


    Everyone was shocked by it.

    Priceless jewels like emeralds cost a fortune. More so, Cartier was an expensive brand. Why did


    someone bid that low for such a Luxury item?


    All the guests were well-to-do individuals. None of them Lacked money.


    This was why the first offer was ridiculously strange. It was obvious that the bidder was belittling the


    item to ridicule the donor—Loraine.


    With a deep frown, Loraine turned to look in the direction that the voice came. Her eyes fell on the face


    of an acquaintance.


    “Vickie Archer?”


    Loraine didn’t expect to meet Vickie here. Vickie looked so different from how she was when Loraine


    met her at the interview in Universe


    Group.


    She was a top white-cor employee at that time, so she dressed professionally.


    But now, she was wearing a sexy bodycon dress. Her hair was permed into deep waves and the


    makeup on her face was heavy. She looked like apletely different person.


    There was a chunky arm around her shoulders. It belonged to a fat old man who had a pot belly.


    Vickie held the man’s hand intimately and shed an evil smile at


    Loraine.


    “Long time no see, Loraine. You don’t mind me offering a dor for the ring, do you? After all, there’s no


    reserve price in this auction.”


    “Hey, cut it out! Something tells me you are trying to make trouble here. How can an emerald ring be


    worth a dor? Even a fake ring is worth more than that!”


    Jennie sprang to her feet and got short with Vickie.
