Chapter 1308

• "A few years ago, this necklace was auctioned for 150 million. But it isn’t just any ordinary ruby necklace—its rarity and exceptional craftsmanship make it one of the finest in the world. Today, its estimated value has doubled to 300 million. While the guests here may be eager to bid, raising such a substantial amount on the spot won't be easy."
• Juan spoke in a steady, measured tone, while Okpon listened intently.
• "However, if this piece were to be sold at an auction house in the capital, the price could easily increase by another 100 million. Auctioning it here is a missed opportunity. And among the guests present, the only one capable of spending 300 to 400 million on a single necklace is probably Gavin. But since Liza is the one donating it, it wouldn’t make sense for him to buy it back. Given the circumstances, wouldn’t it be more profitable to send this necklace to the capital instead?" Juan continued, his voice carrying subtle persuasion.
