rising from the ashes Chapter 213 With a 30 million dollar sale , the auction houses commission alone would be in the millions .
It was definitely a windfall .
Lauren and Francesca stared at Andrew , clearly struggling to comprehend the astronomical number , and their hearts ached .
Lauren muttered , Dr.
Lloyd , 30 million dollars … think we mightve gotten carried away .
I just didnt feel like playing games with these idiots , Andrew said casually .
Better to crush them with one bid and be done with it .
.
His casual tone made Lauren and Francesca grit their teeth in frustration .
After all , 30 million dollars was not just a small sum .
It was a monumental deal .
Anyone else would have spent hours debating about that kind of money , let alone tossing it out so casually .

While secretly delighted , Elsie was also intrigued .
She had seen many wealthy clients before , but this mysterious man , who dominated the bidding so effortlessly , gave her a different feeling entirely .
Throughout the next few bids , Andrew showed no interest in bidding .
Meanwhile , Michael and Finley tried to outdo each other with increasingly loud and boastful bids , clearly wanting the world to see how freely they spent their money .

Andrew could only laugh .
These two fools were making more noise about spending a few million than he had over 30 million on the Celestial Nymphaea .

Lauren teased , Dr.
Lloyd , youve been quiet for several items now .
Ms.
Santana keeps glancing our way with disappointment .
Andrew chuckled .
I may be rich , but Im not stupid .
Just then , a dazzling diamond crown was brought onto the stage under the spotlight .

I wont bore you with its luxurious history , but Ill say this its worthy only of a princess or queen .
1/2 +25 BONUS Gentlemen , its time to fight for your true love .

Distinguished guests , I ask for your consideration both for myself , Harvey and the Weller family .
Ive set my heart on this crown to propose to my angel .

who A heavy silence fell over the room .
Harvey had drawn his line in the sand .
Challenging him now would mean facing the wrath of the powerful Weller family , something few could afford to risk .
