Robbers
Just then, one of Olivia’s close friends joined the auction as well, and she ruthlessly yelled a number
that sent Olivia into the depths of despair, “15 million!”
Amy instantly jolted in shock and hurriedly tugged on the woman next to her. “Eleanor, have you lost
your mind? Why are you calling out 15 million for it?”
Eleanor replied, “It’s pretty. I quite like it!”
“What’s so special about it? I used to have a sapphire necklace that looked like this, but the
craftsmanship was much finer, and the color was brighter too. It was gorgeous, like a starry sky
reflected in a dark ocean, but even a necklace like that was nowhere close to 15 million! You really do
have too much cash to burn.”
A mocking smile appeared on Eleanor’s face. She assumed that Amy was bragging again, but she
asked carelessly instead of dwelling on the matter, “Is that so? Then, why haven’t I seen you wear it?”
Amy let out an awkward cough. “I didn’t like it, so I gave it away.”
Hearing that, Eleanor scoffed. “You’re quite generous. If I were you, I’d immediately get it back. If this
necklace is already worth 15 million, won’t that necklace of yours be hundreds of million?”
Amy chuckled sheepishly. “This isn’t just about money. How can I ask someone to return something
I’ve given them?”
Eleanor let out another scoff without replying. However, no one else followed after she made her bid,
and she scored the necklace with a price of 15 million in the end. Once she had completed the
transaction with the staff, she headed back outside.
Amy couldn’t help but tease her, “I shouldn’t have come with you.”
“Why?”
“I’m afraid of running into robbers! This is worth 15 million, you know?”
Eleanor let out a self-deprecating laugh. “Oh, don’t you know what situation I’m in? Spending money is
the only thing that can comfort me now.”
Amy knew that with her husband’s exploits, the only thing she had left was her fortune. Hence, she
soon calmed down at the thought.
Unfortunately, as soon as they stepped out of the auction house, they were surrounded by a group of
men. They appeared to be regular bidders as they were all dressed casually yet exuded an air of
extravagance, but their gazes were vicious, as if they could silently end their lives any second.
As she faced the men, Amy shivered in fear.
Her first thought was, It’s over! We really ran into robbers! No wonder people always said not to flaunt
your wealth—it was no surprise that they were targeted by these robbers when they had just placed a
15 million bid on a necklace!
At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to shove Eleanor forward, then wail to the robbers that
her husband was in charge of a small company that was on the brink of bankruptcy, so he had no
money, and that it was this other woman who was the wealthy one!
Even so, she couldn’t just lose her only wealthy friend like this, so she dragged Amy with her as they
backed away and asked in a trembling voice, “What do you want?”
A young man in his twenties spoke up, “Don’t be afraid, we’re not bad people. We just want to take a
look at the necklace you just bought at the auction.”
Most of the time, money was the key to a person’s confidence. Hence, Eleanor was much calmer
compared to Amy’s state of panic. After all, there was nothing for her to fear if the issue was about
money.
She replied calmly, “Why should I show it to you? Move before we call the police.”
The young man smiled soothingly. “I don’t want to force you either, we just want you to let us have a
look. If it’s the one we’re looking for, we’re willing to offer twice the price for it, and we’ll return it to you if
it isn’t. Moreover, we’ll reimburse you accordingly!”
Amy refused firmly, “That won’t do either. What if you’re just another group of liars who’ll switch it out
with a fake?”
The man’s face fell as he looked at Amy before he retrieved something from behind his hip and
pressed it against Eleanor’s waist.
However, he laughed breezily and continued in a gentle tone, “Help us out. We’ve been looking for this
necklace for a long time, and if it really is the one we are looking for, just name a price and we’ll pay for
it!”
