Chapter 383

Outside of the private room, the auction had already started, but Jacob remained calm and collected. After he exchanged a few more words with Nicole, he held her close and spoke with an air of casual confidence. "100 million." The room fell silent the moment his bid was announced. The current highest bid was only 60 million. While everyone was interested in the emerald bracelet, no one would jump from 60 million to 100 million in a single bid. The crowd was intimidated by the extravagant spending of this mysterious wealthy bidder. Just as Jacob seemed poised to win the bracelet effortlessly, another voice suddenly rang out. "110 million." He raised an eyebrow and instinctively turned his gaze toward the source of the voice. The man who spoke was sitting in a room directly opposite Jacob's, and he could see what was happening on Jacob's side from his position by the window. Instead of being intimidated by Jacob's probing look, the man simply smiled with a hint of indifference.
