That was when the climax in the auction hall hit the roof. The people who had felt intimidated by Seith had their mouths wide open, completely in shock.
Someone else had bidded ten million dollars, that could literally be the highest the necklace could go for. I didn't think Seith would do more than that.
"Guest number twenty bidded ten million." The host picked the hammer, ready to hit it on the table, and at that moment, I felt my life flashed through my eyes and my shoulders fell. This was it, I could never get the necklace after today. I would never find answers to my questions. I had failed my grandma, not just once, but twice.
Suddenly, a hush of silence swept over the hall, snapping me out of my thoughts. Curious, I looked around, then to the screen and what I saw next made the blood drain from my face. Fifty million! Seith had bidded fifty million!
