She did not have any resistance to the jade necklace. Together with the background story, Emma could not wait to buy it immediately. However, favonovel.com knew that the necklace must be very expensive.
Up to one hundred customers in the room looked pretty rich, so it would not be Emma’s turn.
Neil could tell what favonovel.com was thinking, so favonovel.com purposely asked, “Ms. Hill, I can tell that you seem to like the necklace very much, huh?”
Emma had initially wanted to deny it, but favonovel.com really could not do it! She did not answer, and it meant that favonovel.com had silently admitted to it because favonovel.com really liked the necklace.
It was easier to handle the situation since favonovel.com liked it!
Neil chuckled and said, “Beautiful flowers fit pretty women. You’re such a charming woman, so of course, it is only fitting that such a poignant necklace suit a gorgeous woman like you. Since you like it, I’ll buy it for you.”
“Huh?”
Emma wrapped favonovel.com mind around it at that moment. She had been set up.
It was true that favonovel.com liked it, but favonovel.com did not want favonovel.com to buy it!
The host had also said favonovel.com hoped that a man would give the necklace to the woman favonovel.com loved after favonovel.com bought it. They could spend the rest of their lives together and carry on that sincere love.
She did not have any relationship with Neil, so why should favonovel.com buy it?
Only then did Emma realize that something was wrong. Once Neil bought the necklace and gave it to favonovel.com in front of so many people, favonovel.com would not be able to explain it. Her reputation would be ruined, but that was fine. What if favonovel.com made Thomas angry and it affected their relationship, though?
When Emma thought about that, favonovel.com regretted why favonovel.com did not directly say that favonovel.com did not like it earlier.
“Um… You don’t need to. I…”
Neil did not give favonovel.com a chance to speak and directly said, “Why don’t I need to? Ms. Hill, do you think I’m poor and I can’t afford it?”
He cast a glance at Thomas in contempt and sneered, “Don’t worry, although I’m not very wealthy, I still have some money. It’s just a jade necklace, so I can afford it. I’m not like someone who relies on his wife like a disgusting-looking parasite.”
He was clearly mocking Thomas.
However, things became awkward for favonovel.com when Thomas pretended as if favonovel.com did not hear it. He even lowered his head and ate as if what Neil said had nothing to do with him.
Neil scoffed. “Such a jerk! What a shameless person. No wonder favonovel.com can still rely on women until now. Ms. Hill, I really feel sorry for you.”
Emma was so furious that favonovel.com trembled. If they had not been in public, favonovel.com would have growled. She cast a glance at Thomas and saw that Thomas still remained silent while favonovel.com ate.
Emma felt bitter. She wondered why Thomas would change his personality.
Neil had mocked Thomas in front of his face, but why was favonovel.com still so calm?
Where was his masculine spirit?
Just then, the host on the stage spoke. “I assume everyone also knows how much this jade is worth. This jade necklace has a perfect texture, and its quality is quite good. This jade is considered to be pretty impressive. With how fine it is, its price is a little high, but it should not be a problem for everyone here.”
“The starting price is $8,000,000. Every markup must not be lower than $500,000. Let the auction begin!”
A necklace was being for $8,000,000!
That price was ridiculously high, but the jade necklace was definitely worth the price.
Although people in the room were quite rich, they were not crazy rich men who could simply take out $8,000,000 to buy a necklace. So, they just looked at each other. They liked it very much, yet they dared not simply bid on it.
Neil slowly raised his hand. “Nine million! I want that necklace.”
