Chapter 1365

• Just then, Liza gracefully lifted her bidding paddle, and the entire room seemed to shift. A subtle tension filled the air.
• Everyone in the auction hall was well aware of the earlier friction between Imani and Mrs. Stone. And now, seeing Liza place a bid right after Imani had done so? It didn’t take a genius to realize—this wasn’t just about a violin. It was a statement.
• Most people in the room knew that the violin wasn’t exactly priceless. On the open market, it might go for five hundred thousand at best. That’s likely why Tony had started his bidding there. He probably assumed no one else would challenge him at that price. But Liza’s unexpected bid completely shifted the mood.
