"660,000!" Lance bid, to the nervous yet expectant gaze of Keira.
So far, the price had inflated ten times its starting bid!
The bidding process at that moment wasn't as intense as before, with long gaps of silence. Keira nervously prayed that no one else would bid, but alas, things didn't go as planned.
The bidding continued! The price was astonishingly raised to 1.6 million!
Just as the item was about to be sold for 1.6 million, Lance, after much deliberation, raised his sign once again.
"1.8 million."
Keira breathed a sigh of relief. The item that was almost sold for 1.6 million should be secured with a bid of 1.8 million.
"Thank you, Lance." Keira said.
However, before Lance could respond, a nonchalant yet shocking voice echoed around the room, "10 million."
Keira's smile froze on her face, her hand gripping Lance's tightened. She glared at Damon, who was the source of the voice. Before she could think further, her gaze landed on the obvious smirk on Chloe's face.
The auctioneer was taken aback, his eyes unconsciously fell on Chloe's face. Sure enough, Chloe made her move. With her left hand, she gently raised her sign, smiled at the auctioneer, and said in a clear voice, "10 million and one dollar."
The auctioneer quickly shifted his gaze to Damon, only to see a hint of indulgence in his usually emotionless and handsome face.
He swallowed hard, his eyes turning back to Chloe, marveling at how this woman had managed to win over the notoriously celibate head of the Harper family.
"10 million and one dollar for the first time."
"10 million and one dollar for the second time."
