“Rebecca, do you even know the state of the Preston Group right now? Where am I supposed to find 5,000,000 dollars for you?! Are you trying to bankrupt the company?” Nathaniel growled.

Rebecca sneered. “Nathaniel, don’t think I don’t know how much you’ve been pocketing from your deals with the Nuttall Group. 5,000,000 dollars might be a bit much for you, but it’s not impossible.”

Nathaniel’s anger intensified. “Even if I could afford it, why should I spend that kind of money on a useless piece of junk?!”

To him, jewelry that couldn’t be immediately cashed in was worthless. He didn’t even want to spend 500,000 dollars, let alone 5,000,000 dollars.

“Mr. Nuttall is only willing to put up 15,000,000 dollars. If you can’t cover the remaining 5,000,000, it will ruin our relationship with the Nuttall Group, and any future business between them and the Preston Group will be difficult. Think it over,” Rebecca warned before hanging up.

After a while, she received a notification that 5,000,000 dollars had been transferred into her account. She pressed her lips together, put her phone away, and left the restroom.

As soon as she stepped out, she ran into Damon.

At that moment, she no longer felt even the slightest bit of affection–only fear and hatred.

It was because of this man that she had endured so much suffering at Nathaniel’s hands, being passed around from one man to another.

She lowered her head, hiding the resentment in her eyes.

As she walked past Damon, his cold voice cut through the air. “Rebecca, you better not try anything against Nyla, or I’ll make you suffer even more.”

Rebecca stiffened. “Mr. Sumner… do you really think I’m in any position to do anything to her?”

“You better be telling the truth,” Damon warned.

Rebecca bit her lip, said nothing more, and walked away quickly.

Damon’s eyes grew colder as he watched her leave.

When Rebecca returned to the auction hall, the bidding for the last jewelry set was in full swing, and the atmosphere was noticeably livelier. She glanced at the piece and was immediately captivated.

It was a sapphire set featuring a necklace and a pair of earrings.

Under the lights, the sapphires sparkled with a mesmerizing glow, reminiscent of the deep, tranquil waters of a lake. Each glint of light on them created the illusion of ripples across the lake’s surface- dazzling and enchanting.

The sapphire earrings shimmered like fragments of stars fallen to Earth, radiating brilliance.

Rebecca could already imagine how stunning she would look wearing that set, each step adding to her allure.

Noticing her longing gaze fixed on the jewelry, Orlando sneered. “You know this set will sell for no more than 20,000,000 dollars.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw regret flash in Rebecca’s eyes.

“Idiot!” he spat, his tone dripping with disdain.

He believed Rebecca was good for nothing but her looks and some skills in bed–useless otherwise.

Rebecca bit her lip, keeping her head down and remaining silent. She knew Orlando was angry, and if he didn’t vent his frustration now, she would face the consequences later.

In the end, Oliver bought the sapphire set for 17,000,000 dollars.

After collecting the jewelry from the staff, Oliver walked straight to Nyla and took out the necklace, ready to put it on her.
