Charmaine looked a little puzzled for a second.

Watching the live stream, Emyr froze.

Leah and her group looked like they were about to explode with frustration as they watched the other parties act like the necklace was already theirs.

Even Liam spoke up, "Maxwell, I've got some cash too. Take it as a gift for Leah. We can't let those two women win it!"

Maxwell's expression darkened for a moment. "No need."

He calmly raised his paddle again. "Five million."

The new price drew gasps from the crowd.

The auctioneer called out with excitement, "Bidder 38 offers five million-going once!"

All eyes turned to Charmaine. She stared straight ahead, not reacting at all. "Going twice!"

Leah's hands tightened. She still didn't take her eyes off Charmaine.

The whole room went quiet.

Charmaine didn't bid again. Even the mysterious VIP Bidder 1 gave up.

"Third and final call!"

The auctioneer dropped the gavel. "Sold! Congratulations to bidder 38 on winning the Southglow Pearl Necklace!"

Leah finally relaxed and smiled. "Maxwell, we did it!"

Maxwell gave a small nod, his expression easing a bit.

Liam grinned. "Only you could pay that much. She never stood a chance."

Veronica added smugly, "Even with Mr. Emyr supporting her, there's no way she'd pay that much money."

Emyr stayed calm. "No need. She was never planning to buy it."

Keon stayed silent, observing everything.

Emyr, sounding casual but sharp, said, "She was messing with the Nelsons."noveldrama

The others exchanged glances, unsure whether to laugh or sigh.

They figured Emyr still didn't understand women and felt a bit bad for Charmaine.

But when the camera cut to her, she looked far from upset.

She wore a satisfied smirk, like a cat that just got into the cream.

"She doesn't look disappointed at all."

"More like she's enjoying this."

"That smug face ... It reminds me of the way Shawn grins when he's being shady."

The room went quiet.

Women's thoughts were a mystery-and Charmaine's? Probably the most mysterious of all.

Finally, Shawn snapped, "Hey! Who are you calling shady?"
