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?”

Malcolm didn’t seem to hear her. With an aloof expression, he immediately raised the price to 6 million dollars.

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.”
