Chapter 303:
Giselle’s brow furrowed with concern that their billion-dollar budget might fall short. “I wasn’t expecting such fierce competition for this tiara. I’ll arrange additional funds,” she said firmly. She was determined to win the tiara.
Though Brenna also desired the tiara, she questioned whether spending a billion on an item she would rarely wear was worth it. “Forget it, Mom; let’s just see how this unfolds naturally,” Brenna said.
Giselle replied firmly, “Absolutely not. I want to give it to you as a birthday present. We can’t just give up p>
Giselle hurried off to arrange the extra funds.
Brenna kept a close eye on the situation outside the room.
A staggering bid of one billion came from Room 16.
In Room 23, the faces of Valeria and Viper darkened. They had capped their funds at a billion and couldn’t go any higher.
Viper said, “What’s so special about this tiara that everyone’s fighting for it? Find out who’s in Room 16 p>
Valeria’s expression turned serious as she replied, “Understood p>
Brenna was shocked by the sudden aggressive bid from the person in Room 16. They were also using the strategy of waiting patiently before striking decisively.
She considered the situation with a thoughtful frown. Despite having met the Queen of Orwall, she questioned whether the tiara was truly worth a billion.
After a moment of deliberation, she raised the bid by ten million to test if the person in Room 16 would keep up.
“One billion and twenty million p>
Ethan noted that only the person in Room 7 remained in contention with him. They also seemed determined to win the tiara.
Brenna raised the bid again. “One billion and thirty million p>
Ethan recognized the perseverance of the person in Room 7, who showed no signs of backing down, and responded with a direct bid of one billion three hundred million.
Brenna chose not to continue bidding.

In the end, the Queen of Orwall’s diamond tiara was sold for the staggering sum of one billion three hundred million.
By the time Giselle returned, the auction for the tiara had already concluded.
Giselle expressed her regret, saying, “It’s a pity. I just added an extra five hundred million; we could have competed with them and won the tiara p>
Brenna remained calm. “It’s fine p>
She was more focused on the upcoming auction for the Woodham. To her surprise, there was competition, but she secured it for seventy million.
As they exited the auction house, Brenna noticed a familiar presence in the lobby. Ethan, dressed in a black suit, moved toward the exit with a composed demeanor, not glancing sideways.
Curious about his presence, Brenna wondered if he was after a specific item. Despite seeing him, she chose to ignore him, acting as if she hadn’t noticed. She thought maybe he didn’t want her to know what he was really interested in.
Just then, Giselle called out, “Ethan p>
Ethan turned, and his stern expression softened when he saw Brenna and Giselle approaching with friendly smiles.
“Mrs. Harper, Brenna, what brings you here p>
