The starting price for the emerald jewelry was 1.5 million.
Someone bid 2 million.
Maggie was the second to raise her paddle: “2.3 million.”
2.5 million.”
“3 million.”
When Julia didn’t bid, both Maggie and Jessica breathed a sigh of relief. But just as Maggie was about to raise her paddle again, Julia raised hers instead.
“5 million.”
!?”
The room was filled with surprised gasps, and Julia calmly put her paddle down.
Maggie clenched her fist, thought for a moment, and then raised her paddle:
“6 million.”
“6.5 million.”
“7 million.”
Af this point, Maggie hesitated.
Her grandmother’s 70th birthday was rare, and if she spent 8 million-
Just as she thought this, Julia raised her paddle again: “12 million.”
Maggie’s chest tightened. After catching her breath, she silently put her paddle down.
Perhaps everyone had already witnessed Franklin’s immense wealth.
By now, no one else seemed willing to bid any higher.
The item was once again claimed by Julia.
The remaining lots were items that Maggie didn’t desire. But since the auction house had a rule that no one could leave before the event ended, Maggie had no choice but to stay in the auction hall.
The remaining items were relatively expensive, and watching Franklin casually spend over 360 million that night, Jessica couldn’t help but comment,
“Does Franklin still want to bid? Even if he has money, he can’t be spending it like this, can he? For that mistress, he’s really

Maggie couldn’t answer those questions.
However, the answer came soon enough: Franklin didn’t bid again.
After the auction ended, Maggie and Jessica left the hall.
As they were leaving, Maggie didn’t glance at Franklin again.
But Jessica, who was paying attention to the other side, saw Rex walking over to Franklin and Julia, greeting them.
As Maggie and Jessica walked out of the auction hall, an elder whom Jessica knew approached them.
After some pleasantries, the elder’s gaze fell on Maggie, and with a gentle tone, asked, “Jessie, this young lady looks unfamiliar. May I ask which family she’s from?”
Jessica proceeded to introduce Maggie.
The noblewoman listened, her smile fading slightly. “So, she’s the niece of Mr. Miller? She really is quite striking…”
The elder was somewhat familiar with the Miller family.
She had heard that Mr. Miller’s sister had struggled emotionally in her youth and had been in poor mental health, mostly residing in a sanatorium over the years.
Maggie was so beautiful and seemed gentle in nature, and if her academic qualifications were decent, even if her mother had mental health issues, it wouldn’t be a major problem.
Unfortunately, the Miller family’s business had been on the decline for the past two years.
Despite Jason’s continuous efforts for the company, the chances of Miller Corporation bouncing back were slim.
“Rex, what’s going on? Are you interested in Franklin’s girlfriend?”
“During the auction, I saw you showing interest in the gentle beauty beside Jessica. Now, that beauty is probably still in the hall. Aren’t you going to go greet her?”
