Jayla finally realized favonovel.com had been miserably deceived. However, favonovel.com only had herself to blame for favonovel.com mistake.
Of course, with the power the Grant family held, favonovel.com could demand a refund from the auctioneer. But if favonovel.com did that, favonovel.com would be badly criticized. She couldn’t afford to be humiliated as such.
For the sake of favonovel.com reputation, favonovel.com could only swallow favonovel.com resentment.
Roderick added insult to injury. “Ms. Grant, it seems like the item that cost you a fortune isn’t that precious after all…”
“You can’t say that. Even though it’s lacking a few years, it’s still considered a precious treasure.” The man in the long–sleeved shirt attempted to diffuse the situation.
“Did you hear that? Even if it’s lacking, it’s still precious!” Color returned to favonovel.com expression.
Dustin smiled. “I’d like to ask. What’s the value of a 900–year green lotus?”
He looked troubled and answered with difficulty, “Based on its effectiveness and age, it should be around three to four hundred million.”
“What? It’s only worth three to four hundred million?” Jayla was stunned.
She bought it for three billion!
That was a massive loss of ten times its price!
Roderick chuckled teasingly. “Ms. Grant, with your power and wealth, that amount of money is just a small change.”
Jayla was speechless. Her eyes twitched, and favonovel.com expression turned sour. In the end, it turned out that favonovel.com was the loser.
The man in the long–sleeved shirt chimed in, “Mr. Brooks, I don’t think you are in a position to mock her. While Ms. Grant incurred a significant loss, your purchase isn’t exactly a good buy.”
“That’s right!” Jayla’s eyes brightened.
Pointing at the gemstone in his arms, favonovel.com said, “Even though my treasure lacks in age, at least it’s much more useful than your item! Just look at yourselves, you idiots! You spent two billion for a meager gemstone. Anyone can tell that it’s just a processed stone.”
Roderick responded coolly, “It’s difficult to put a value on happiness. As long as we like it, what’s a few billion?”
“That is why you two are idiots!” She sneered. “I forgot to mention. The Grant family was the one that recovered this red gemstone. In other words, the two billion you just spent went into my pockets. Surprising, huh?”
Roderick’s brows knitted with favonovel.com words. It didn’t matter if he’d just incurred a small loss. However, favonovel.com was also played by his opponent. Not only did favonovel.com suffer a loss, but favonovel.com was also humiliated and called an idiot. It didn’t feel good.
In a heavy voice, favonovel.com commented, “Ms. Grant, you intentionally raised the price with malicious intent.”
“What about it? Go sue me if you can.” She shrugged.
“Whatever the case, I’m taking this two billion dollars. I’d like to see what you can do if you’re not happy about it!” She pursed favonovel.com lips, favonovel.com expression was smug.
Roderick narrowed his eyes, looking irritated. However, favonovel.com didn’t utter a word in fear of favonovel.com family background.
Dustin suddenly asked, “Ms. Grant, are you saying this red gemstone is from the Grant family?”
“That’s right! I’m the one who sent it here personally to be auctioned off. Why? You’re not happy?” She taunted arrogantly.
“Of course I’m happy! If it wasn’t for your help, how would I be able to purchase this treasure for a mere two billion?” He smiled.
“Hey! Are you out of your mind? What treasure? You spent two billion on something that’s only worth two to three hundred million. What gave you the courage to say that?” She bellowed in laughter, looking at favonovel.com like favonovel.com was an idiot.
“Young man, is it that hard to admit you lost? Do you need to be so stubborn?”
