Chapter 60

Julian had phrased the retort to be as harsh as possible to deter people from further making fun ofhim.

Scoffing, Julian buttoned up his suit. Just as he was about to sit down, he heard the auction mastersay, “Eight million dollars!”

The crowd gasped and exclaimed in surprise.

Julian felt his legs go weak. He turned around to see an attractive man dressed all in black holdingup a sign. The man was even smiling smugly at him as if he was provoking him.

“Who is that?" Julian asked his friends.

One of his friends gulped before replying, “I think it's Yoel Fulton, the youngest son of the Fultonfamily of Riverside City.”

The auction master continued the bid in an attempt to see if anyone was willing to offer a higherprice. “One hundred million dollars,” said a man with a low voice. He was seated next to Yoel, and hewas holding up his sign.

Suddenly, the hall fell silent.

Julian glared furiously at the man who was sitting in the comer. He could not see the man’s faceclearly, but he was sure that the two men were trying to humiliate them.

Irritated, Julian snarled, “And who is that?"

His friend peered at them and said weakly, “I think that is... Jace Yuriel, the CEO of the Yuriel Groupfrom Nadeem City.”

Julian's legs gave way, and he fell back into his seat.

Yoel mocked, “Mr. Julian, don't back out now. Didn't you say that you must have the necklace? I'mexcited to know how much you're willing to spend on it.”

Looking at Jace, he then continued, “I'm not interested in the emerald at all. But that necklace hadbelonged to Sage, and she has wom it. I think it's with the money. I must have that necklace tomyself.”

Anger flickered across Jace's eyes as he replied firmly, “What a coincidence, me too.”

“A hundred million going once, going twice-"

“100.1 million dollars!”

Julian shouted as he glanced coldly at Yoel and Jace. His friends wanted to stop him as they knewthat the Fultons and the Yuriels were not people that they should be messing with.

“I don't care how powerful the Fulton family and the Yuriel family are. In Salem City, the Jeffersonfamily is the most powerful and influential. I will not back down.”

Julian sounded confident.

Nevertheless, his confidence was immediately shattered by Yoel and Jace.

Unbothered by Julian, Jace and Yoel continued bidding

“100.5 million!”

“100.8 million!”

“100.9 million!”

-“Two hundred million!”

The bid was the highest it had ever been, and the auction master was getting excited. Everyone waslooking at Jace and Yuriel as they wondered who they were.

Luther too was stunned. Staring at the two men who had no intentions of giving up, he said, “Whatare they up to?”

Sage looked gloomy, and there was not a trace of happiness to be found on her face.

Sage had taken her parents’ instructions to heart, so she did not like show-offs, and their childishbehavior did not do them any favors. Just the thought of her necklace in either of their hands madeher uncomfortable.

She nodded at Hunter and Hunter immediately raised his sign, saying, “200.1 million dollars.”

Jace and Yoel turned their heads at the same time to look at Sage.

Without even looking at them, Sage nodded at the auction master and the auction master hurriedlyended the bidding at 200.1

million dollars.

Thanks to them, she had to pay 200.1 million dollars for her own emerald necklace which wasvalued at seven million dollars. Sage did not mind the loss as she planned to get her money backfrom the guys.
