NovelUpdateChapter 1082:
She was sure that at this price, buying the stone wouldn't be a mistake. But no sooner had she spoken than
someone else raised the bid. “Number 1050, two hundred thousand.”
A flicker of surprise passed across Corrine’s face. She glanced over, spotting a man standing near the wooden
railing of another private room. He looked to be in his thirties, dressed in a plain white shirt and black suit. He
seemed more like a bodyguard or a servant than a rich heir.
“The person in that VIP room is from the Quinn family,” Mandy whispered in her ear.
Corrine raised an eyebrow. “The Quinn family?”
Mandy paused, sensing her confusion. She wasn’t sure how to explain. Everyone on the Independent Continent
knew that the Quinn family’s heiress was very close to Nate. They were practically childhood friends. What was
more, thanks to their...
The families’ connections were well known, with the Hopkins and Quinn families already considering themselves
as in-laws. Most people had assumed that the heiress of the Quinn family would eventually marry into the

Mandy, knowing her place, was careful with her words. After thinking for a moment, she spoke seriously. “The
Quinn and Hopkins families have had a strong bond for generations.”
But Corrine wasn’t naive. She quickly picked up on what Mandy was implying. Given the deep ties between the
families, it was clear that Nate's relationship with the Quinn heiress was more than just casual. She didn’t dwell
on the matter for long and went back to her bidding. Corrine raised the price several times, and each time, the
man immediately matched it, pushing the price up to a million.
She furrowed her brow, realizing that he was clearly trying to target her. Just as she was about to raise the bid
again, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from the upstairs private room. “Two million.” The venue went dead
silent.
Everyone's eyes shifted upward to the private room, their curiosity piqued. The upstairs private rooms were
reserved for the most powerful families on the Independent Continent. Even if someone had the money, they
wouldn't have the standing to enter those exclusive rooms.

“Who's upstairs, being so bold? Doubling the bid without a second thought?”
“Whoever it is, we can’t afford to mess with them. When the big players get involved, we might as well sit back
and enjoy the show.”
“The voice cfrom Room No. 1. Besides that man from the Hopkins family, no one else has the right to be
there.”
The mood in the room shifted immediately. The crowd's expressions subtly changed, and their body language
hinted at both fear and respect. Someone in the crowd whispered, “Don’t underestimate those in Room No. 2.
They're not backing down.”
As they spoke, a soft chof a
