NovelApexChapter 1404: "Wait, is she actually that rich?" "Wasn't the last offer a hundred million? She doubled it in a single breath?" "I heard her company's brand new. There's no way she has that kind of cash already, right? Maybe she's just bluffing?" "No chance. If the bid wasn't real, the staff would have shut her down by now. The auction house checks everyone's assets in advance." One by one, the crowd began to realize-Daniela was the real deal. There really was over two hundred million in her account.
Mouths hung open. All across the auction hall, people could do nothing but stare.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA company could boast a sparkling reputation, and marketing could inflate its market value, but a hefty bank balance was something else entirely-that was tangible wealth.
Did Daniela actually have that kind of fortune? What began as ridicule ended with the audience staring at her in admiration.
The auctioneer, practically vibrating with anticipation, nearly leapt from the stage when the bidding soared to two hundred million. Her eyes blazed with excitement, and her grip on the microphone was so tight her knuckles whitened. "Incredible! Thank you, Ms. Harper. The current bid stands at two hundred million!

"And Mr. Cruz? You've been quite active this evening. Shall we make it two hundred and ten million?" Mr. Cruz gave a helpless shrug and shook his head, conceding the field.

Left to his own judgment, the secretary would reckon two hundred million was through the roof. Nom matter how rare of unique, they were stil just cufflinks-more accessory than asset, hardly essential. Unless someone had a peculiar obsession with cufflinks, who actually noticed what style adorned a suit sleeve?
