DreameNovelChapter 1140: The wealthy businessmen at the front hesitated and then chose not to compete. Who was this bold newcomer in the shadows challenging the Juarez power and Waylon? The onlookers cast curious glances at Christopher, puzzled by his bold bid.
Christopher's face remained stoic. Internally, he said, "Enough with the gawking. I'm securing this jewelry set, cwhat may.
After all, Mr. Green insists that Harlee should have everything she desires." Harlee was momentarily caught off guard when she made eye contact with Christopher. What was his reason for bidding? She instinctively looked over at Rhys, seemingly immersed in his game. Seeing through his facade, she felt a wave of warmth.
She subtly nodded at Brice's contact, signaling him to stop increasing the bid. Shifting her attention away, she looked back toward the stage with disinterest.

Liliana's expression immediately soured, and Valentina looked even more disturbed. It was unexpected for anyone to openly challenge the Juarez family at such a public event. Valentina furrowed her brow in anger as she tried to spot the bold bidder. Valentina quickly grabbed Liliana's hand and raised their paddle, prompting Liliana to bid, saying, "Two hundred and ten million.” Under the table, however, Liliana's hand gripped tightly. Waylon had given her a spending cap of five hundred million, and the thought of exceeding it made her anxious. Sweat began to form on her forehead.

Harlee frowned. There were rational ways to spend money, and this level of extravagance was just too much. She glanced up to see Christopher looking impatient, almost as if he was saying, "Let's finish this. I'm ready to go back to bed." Clearly, he had been taking cues from Rhys.
Harlee felt somewhat powerless. Rhys was oblivious to the profound implications of Christopher's unexpected bid. She had meticulously briefed her designated bidders, preparing them days ahead.
Christopher's impromptu involvement was disruptive, and it was too late to reverse course now.
Watching from the VIP room, Waylon's face darkened.
"Find out everything about this individual, including any fake identities he might use." "Understood!" responded a bodyguard dressed in black, who then stealthily exited the VIP room.

He was resolute that anyone who underestimated him would not be spared.
The room was in an uproar. Spending five hundred million on a single pièce of jewelry for a major conglomerate was already audacious.
Could Christopher, sitting so far back in the room, really, have five hundred million in his pocket to make such a bold bid?
Valentina's blood boiled as she watched Christopher still holding up his is piece of jewelry was her ticket into the exclusive world of high society! mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
