    Chapter 257 Poor Acting Skills


    Kora caught Chris giving her a signal and couldn''t tell if she had overpaid or underpaid for the


    ne.


    "3 million? Is that... too little?" The auction where Brendon bought Shannon''s ne had a low


    starting price, but everyone knew it would sell for much higher. And this sapphire in front of them


    looked even better than that one. It was acquired from an auction in Europe ten years ago, and with


    its appreciation over the years, there was no way it could be worth only 3 million!


    "Huh? Too little?" Koraughed. "How could that be! I spent 3 million on this ne when I


    bought it!"


    Ranita chuckled. "Kora, you can''t calcte like that! High-end jewelry holds its value. What you paid


    for ten years ago is definitely worth more now if you were to put it up for auction." This sapphire


    alone would fetch at least 10 million.


    "Oh my goodness, how can we calcte like this? Things sold at auctions are definitely expensive...


    I just like you and don''t want to take advantage of your money," Kora paused before adding.


    "Besides, you''re Chris''s friend. How could I ask for more money from you?"


    Ranita had some money herself and could afford to buy the ne at any price. But the price was


    too low, so she felt embarrassed about epting it and turned to Chris for help, "Mr. Webster..."


    In the end, with Chris''s mediation skills, they agreed on apromise price of 6 million.


    Ranita found Kora amazing - she wanted to give her money but wouldn''t ept it! And she didn''t


    seem desperate for cash either.


    Halfway through dinner Ranita went to use the restroom.


    Kora grabbed onto Chris as soon as Ranita left, "What''s wrong with you?! How can you let her


    spend 6 million?"


    "Auntie, what are you talking about?! Your acting skills are terrible!" Chris shook his head in


    disbelief.


    "What do you mean my acting is bad? If I were an actress, then nobody else would deserve Best


    Actress except me!" After pausing briefly, Kora sarcastically added, "But seriously though why did


    we have to go through all these hoops just so you could give away your gift?"


    "But that girl looks really pretty and has a good personality. I like her."


    Chris liked her too but knew she wasn''t interested in him.


    "Forget about it. She likes someone else." One sentence made Kora widen her eyes incredulously,


    "Are You kidding me? You haven''t even won over your own love interest yet here you are making


    me pay out my life savings?"


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    Chris wished he could shut her mouth right then and there.


    He had originally nned to give it directly to Ranita, but Kora insisted on seeing the real person,


    which led to this scene.


    "Kora, don''t you think she looks familiar?"


    "Now that you mention it, she does." Kora thought for a moment but couldn''te up with anything


    and asked, "I can''t remember! If I had seen such a beautiful girl before, I would definitely


    remember."


    Chris was even more speechless.


    "She''s from Brendon''s family," Chris said with a bit of depression in his heart.


    Kora was startled. "Ah? It''s her? Ranita... Oh! No wonder the name sounded so familiar!"


    Kora pped her thigh and smiled happily. "Chris, no need to worry. Last time I yed mahjong


    with Amiya, she said Brendon divorced his previous wife and is preparing for an alliance with the


    Murphy family."


    "Isn''t this opportunitying right at us?! Seize it!"


    Chris looked at Kora hesitantly without speaking and just gestured for her to be careful not to say


    anything wrong in front of Ranita.


    From afar, Kora saw Ranitaing back and secretly gave an OK gesture.
