Selina blinked and smiled. "It's not about whether I want it or not—because no matter who wins the bid, the violin will end up in my hands."
Logan narrowed his eyes.
Mrs. Reid was implying that she wouldn't even have to pay for it, yet she would still end up with the violin.
Was there such a thing as a free prize in this world?
The Hayes Family was determined to obtain the violin. If Selina backed down, it would undoubtedly become their possession.
Would something that fell into the Hayes Family's hands ever be willingly handed back to Selina?
Interesting.
...
The auction for the violin finally began.
Starting price: ten million.
By the time the bidding reached twenty million, with Bella competing against a few others, Selina glanced at Bella—
Then raised her paddle.
"Fifty million."
Even the most seasoned auctioneer had never seen someone casually add thirty million in one go.
