Naomi feigned regret and persuaded, “Malcolm, it’s just a bracelet. It’s not worth more than 4 million dollars. Why don’t we stop bidding?”

Chadwick looked at her in confusion. “Don’t you like Lone Star’s Tear very much?”

Tabitha smiled faintly. “It’s not easy for Grandpa Alaric to make money. Even though he loves me, I can’t splurge money like this.”
