Chapter 354 Little do they know that mediocrity ismon in this world .


    Do they really think everyone can be a natural genius like Dr.


    Lloyd ? Cedric remarked .


    Grandpa , stop acting high and mighty , Francesca retorted .


    If it werent for Andrew , you wouldnt have gotten such great benefits from this auction either .


    Cedric immediately brightened up with a smile .


    Well , Dr.


    Lloyd certainly helped this old man catch a lucky break today .


    While everyone else was excited , Andrew remained remarkably calm .


    Lets tally up all the gains and have Ms.


    Santana process them , Andrew said casually .


    Elsie perked up with surprise , Mr.


    Lloyd , youre not taking everything you won today ? Ill take the Blood Phoenix Cicada and the Royal Violet Crystal , Andrew replied .


    For the rest , Ill trouble you to convert them to cash .


    Though slightly disappointed , Elsie quickly became energized again .


    While Andrew took the two best pieces , the remaining items were still valuable and would bring significant profits under Radiant Groups management .


    Francesca and Elsie began calcting Andrews spoils , with the breathtaking Blood Phoenix Cicada being the crown jewel that captivated both women .


    The Royal Violet Crystal won from Aspen came second a true treasure in its own right , though now belonging to Andrew as part of his victory .


    Mr.


    Lloyd , here are your total gains from todays auction , Elsie summarized after two minutes .


    Three premium gems , plus your Blood Phoenix Cicada , the total value is at least 200 million .


    Thats fine .


    Process them as we discussed .


    Andrew smiled .


    Cedric could not contain his envy , Making 200 million in one auction Dr .


    Lloyd , youre literally a money printing machine ! Andrew wanted to say he had already achieved financial freedom years ago , and the sry he made as a doctor was insignificant .


    Just then , Elsie brought two security cases , carefully cing the Royal Violet Crystal and Blood Phoenix Cicada in them before solemnly handing them to Andrew.


    Without hesitation , Andrew pushed the Royal Violet Crystal case toward Francesca .


    Why are you giving this to me ? she asked in surprise .


    Andrew simply replied , Its a gift .


    Francescas face turned bright red .


    Though she desperately wanted it , she felt too embarrassed to ept it .


    Chapter 354  Andrew , 1 … I cant ept something so valuable she stammered .


    Andrew smiled and asked directly , Fran , dont you like it ? The direct question made Francesca shy , and she lowered her head with a sweet feeling in her heart .


    Of course I like it .


    What girl wouldnt love such a beautiful crystal ? But its yours , and its so precious … I told you earlier wed make money , Andrew said .


    You worked hard throughout this whole thing , so this crystal is your reward .


    While Francesca was still hesitating , Cedric could no longer contain himself .


    Since Dr.


    Lloyd is being so generous , Ill ept it on Frans behalf .


    Thank you , Dr.


    Lloyd ! Then , he snatched the case and hugged it to his chest with a look of pure satisfaction .
