Chapter 1046 The Third Person Joined The Party (1/2)

Michelle was overcome by mad jealousy when she found out that Louis was going to bid on that necklace for Emily. Her first attempt at asking Jacob for the necklace was rather tentative, but much to her surprise, Jacob simply nodded his head in agreement.

The unexpected response from Jacob left her eyes dancing with excitement.

”Did Michelle just bid on it?”

Rita muttered under her breath. She cast a brief glance at Michelle and narrowed her eyes unpleasantly. However, in consideration of all the people present, she thought it would be better for her to keep quiet for now.

This particular necklace was specially made for Emily. Why Michelle would want to ruin the smile on Emily's face was a question that Rita asked herself.

All the while, Michelle completely ignored Rita, averting her eyes to avoid making eye contact. She gently shook Jacob's arm and asked him to bid again, pursing her glossy red lips into a pout.

”Six million!”

shouted Louis. What resided in his eyes at the moment was pure unadulterated anger. He curled his lips and shot Jacob a deathly cold stare.

”Seven million!”

Jacob replied as he shrugged his shoulders and raised his brows. He looked back at Louis with a flicker of amusement in his cold eyes.

The number caused an uproar in the crowd.

Everyone gasped and covered their wide-open mouths with their hands in pure astonishment. Suddenly, pin-drop silence fell over the crowd as everyone exchanged puzzled glances.

It quickly became obvious to everyone that this auction for a necklace was just as excuse for these rich families to establish their dominance over each other. The richest men in Jingshi City were, in fact, fighting over a woman. This was easily considered as one of the biggest news of the year.

”David!”

Rita called out David's name, gnashing her teeth together as she grabbed his hands tight. The calm expression she usually had on her face was replaced by anger. If David weren't there to stop her, she would have confronted Michelle by now.

”We should bid on it too!”

Rita raised her hand up, clearly enraged, and shouted, ”Eight million!”

This sudden turn of events both shocked and amazed those who were present. The item on auction was no longer the object they were all fighting for. They just wanted to win. Clearly, none of them was short for money. The question was, how much were they willing to spend on it?

Louis was bidding to reclaim Emily's ownership
