Sif's eyes lit up at Tavis’ words.

Yes! She might have lost, but that did not mean that Frank and Trevor had won!

Rearing her chin, she pointed haughtily at the emerald hale pearl Frank was holding. "Even if I'vemistaken the age of my treasure, it's a treasure—that pearl of yours would never measure up to it!What are you so happy about, buying a pearl not even worth a million with two?!"

"Exactly. What are you so gleeful about?" Tavis scoffed as well.

Trevor simply laughed in disdain. "And I'm happy doing it. I'd be willing to pay 2 billion as long asit's what Mr. Lawrence wants, even if it's just a rock.”

Naturally, Trevor was referring to the actual rock Sif bought for 2.5 billion, leaving her fuming.

"So what?!" Sif snarled through her teeth. "Oh, and I forgot to tell you—that hale pearl you have?Bail Leaf bought it from my family... If I recall correctly, we sold it for two hundred thousand like itwas just a glass orb, and you spent 200 million on it! How about that! Surprised, aren't you?!"Trevor frowned at her words—it did not matter if he lost money, but to replace out that Sif had sold itat such a low price was actually frustrating.

Like he was taken for a fool!

"It seems you knew everything about it from the start,” he said quietly.

"So what if I do? Am I obliged to tell you that?"

Sif laughed so hard she was clutching her belly—she finally got one over them!

Leveling a gleeful taunting look at both men, she continued, "Either way, you are both clowns to me.The Leaf family got it for two hundred grand from us, while you had to pay 200 million for it. SurelyI don't have to mention who's the idiot here? Hahaha!!!"

Her attitude left Trevor more or less furious, but he merely snorted, since he could not makeenemies of the Lionhearts yet.

That was when Frank stood up, clapping a hand on Trevor's shoulder.

Fiddling with the crystalline pearl, he turned toward Sif and asked, "Ms. Lionheart, you were sayingyou sold this to the Leaf family?"

Sif raised a brow. "Yes, I did. Why would I lie to you?"

"And how much did you sell it for?" Frank asked again just to confirm.

"Two hundred grand... Tut, tut. And you had to spend 200 million,” Sif repeated smugly, gleeful thatshe could rub salt in Frank's wounds.

"And you're sure it's the same one?" Frank rubbed his chin, looking surprised.

"Of course it is. Why do you have to keep asking the same question?" Sif frowned impatiently."Oh..."

Frank sighed lengthily but soon chuckled before laughing so hard that he was clutching his bellywhile pointing at Sif, who appeared surprised.

"Oh, my goodness..." Frank said, shaking his head when he was done laughing. "Thank you so much,Ms. Lionheart... And your family, of course. If all of you hadn't sold it to the Leaf family for twohundred thousand, I would never have gotten my hands on such treasure.”

Sif appeared disgruntled. "Are you nuts, laughing for no reason? Maybe you lost it because there'ssuch a huge difference between 200 grand and 200 million?"
