Everyone in the room, including the chief auctioneer, couldn't help but show expressions of astonishment.
After recovering from their initial shock, the crowd immediately erupted into hushed whispers.
"Three hundred million?
A direct fifty-million increase?"
"Now that's what I call throwing money around!
They're clearly dead set on winning this."
"Looks like someone's determined to snatch that amethyst set right out of Mr. Harrison's hands."
"Who on earth is in VIP Box five?
To have that kind of financial firepower..." "Rumor has it they're an American tycoon, but no one seems to know their exact identity." ...
The staggering three-hundred-million bid instantly sent the auction into a frenzy.
"Sweetheart," Camilla turned to Sinclair with wide eyes, her surprise evident.
"I never said I wanted it."
She had deliberately kept her expression neutral, not wanting him to spend extravagantly on her behalf.
