Chapter 1551

Amya glanced at Bertha for guidance.

“Mom, what should we do?”

Bertha clenched her teeth and gestured for Amya to increase the bid.

As the auctioneer poised his mallet, Amya intervened.

“Thirty-six million!”

A brief silence ensued.

The auctioneer exclaimed eagerly, “Thirty-six million! Is there anyone else interested in raising the bid?”

The man remained still.

Wyatt’s smirk resonated through the earpiece.

In a calm tone, Wyatt remarked, “There’s no need to continue.

”

The young man exited the auction.

The auctioneer declared resolutely, “Sold!”

Suddenly, warm applause erupted in the room.

Bertha and Amya exchanged glances, exhaling a collective sigh of relief.

At the cost of thirty-six million, she secured the carved jewelry.

Despite its steep price, she had finally obtained the coveted piece she desired.

Bertha turned around to identify her competitor, but to her disappointment, the seat was already vacant.

Her expression soured as she pondered this.

With the auction concluded, Amya guided Bertha towards the exit, informing her, “The driver called; he’s stuck in traffic.

We’ll need to wait.

”

Bertha nodded in understanding.

“Let’s wait over there,” Amya suggested, assisting her in walking.

With the intense competition finally over, a sense of relief washed over her.

“Thankfully, we managed to secure the jewelry in the end.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to present a gift that fulfills the Miller family’s expectations, potentially jeopardizing the marriage negotiations.

”

Upon hearing this, Bertha felt a weight lift from her shoulders, and her mood visibly improved.

She smiled and remarked, “This means good luck for our Pierce family.

”

They talked as they made their way to a nearby corner, where they patiently awaited the arrival of their driver.

However, their plans were interrupted when they noticed Miley approaching.

Amya tightened her lips and suggested, “Why is she here? Mom, let’s wait elsewhere.

”

Bertha nodded, agreeing to avoid encountering Miley.

At that moment, a truck suddenly surged forward, obstructing their path.

Masked assailants emerged from the truck, swiftly seizing Bertha and Amya without uttering a word.
