Imprisoned While Pregnant, She's Back for Payback novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112 You’re the Best 

A sharp wave of fear squeezed Tess’s heart. 

Of course, she didn’t think Finn cared about some plain pearl necklace. His bid had to mean something else entirely. 

As a jolt of shock ran through her, Tess caught Nadine’s eyes locked on her-bold, victorious, and completely unrestrained. 

No longer fragile around Finn, Tess straightened her back, her gaze shining with clear pride. 

Abel frowned, surprised by Finn’s sudden interest. 

Uncle Finn? 

Why would he even care about this pearl necklace? 

Though confused, Abel raised the bid anyway. “Fifty million!” 

I’m Uncle Finn’s nephew. He’ll probably see how serious I am and back down. 

The whispered “fifty million” floated past Tess’s ears like a soft breeze. She pressed her lips tight. 

That’s a lot of money… Never mind. No matter what, I’d rather lose everything than let go of Grandma’s heirloom. 

The bid jumped five times over, leaving the crowd not only stunned but frozen. 

A simple freshwater pearl necklace marked up to a staggering 50 million! 

Most of Aetheris’s wealthy elite, proud of their status, silently cursed the absurdity. 

But none dared say a word. 

After all, one of the bidders was Finn, the richest man in Aetheris. Who’d risk their reputation here? 

Eyes drifted to the corner. 

When the richest player bids, other families usually back off. 

So why is he not just holding his ground but raising the stakes so high? 

Could this plain strand of pearls really be that important? 

“Seventy million.” 

Finn’s voice was calm, like tossing out huge numbers was nothing. 

Tess’s lips parted slightly, her heart twisting like it’d been stabbed. 

Why? 

He knows it was my Grandma’s necklace, but just because of Nadine’s petty pride, he’s set on winning. 

The price climbed to 70 million. Even Abel felt the pressure. 

He was supposed to be low-key, mung !!! 

from the people from Rumsford, a risk he didn’t want. 

Besides, he didn’t have that kind of cash on hand. 

Abel shot Finn a confused look. 

Can’t Uncle Finn cut me some slack after I’ve come all this way? 

Finn just glanced at him without interest, then looked away slowly. 

His eyes lingered briefly on Tess’s pale face.
