Oops My Toyboy Is A Hidden Tycoon

The truth was that Shirley’s heart had been pierced countless times by Alex. But she didn’t want to believe she was that foolish. She could only convince herself with this excuse.

Shirley told herself, I need to win against Cynthia. Cynthia seems to love the brooch so much. She pursues it relentlessly. but in the end, I forcefully take it. That must have been painful for Cynthia, and that is enough‘

Alex’s smirk grew wider. His disdain and contempt were even more obvious. He said, “Ms. Jones, you’re adorably naive, Haven’t you realized yet? Cynthia has been playing you, intentionally hiking up the price so you’d be the one left with the burden.”

Shirley paused for a moment, then finally caught on. She asked, Are you saying Cynthia tricked me on purpose?”

Alex spread his hands with a helpless expression and said, “Everyone here has figured it out except you. Yet you keep raising the price. I feel bad for Ms. Bennett’s money, Shirley, does your name mean funny?”

Shirley’s face turned red quickly, her anger rising to her head. She was shaking with rage. She couldn’t believe Cynthia had played her again. Not only did she lose 10 million dollars, but she also became a joke among the rich and powerful

Shirley finally understood why Cynthia and Jonathan seemed so relaxed, holding back laughter earlier. They were treating her like a fool. Shirley turned on her heel, ready to confront Cynthia.

Whitney spoke calmly, “Calm down. Don’t forget, we’re live streaming today. Don’t do anything embarrassing

Whitney had already witnessed Shirley’s foolishness before. Since Whitney was the one who brought Shirley in, if Shirley ended up doing something embarrassing. Whitney would be embarrassed, too.

In the end, Shirley held herself back. She realized that even if she went to confront Cynthia now, she couldn’t beat Cynthia. She’d end up worse off.

Whitney sat in her chair and said lightly, “Ms. Jones, you should think more about your actions next time. 16 million dollars is not a big deal, but you should consider how to make it worth the money.”

The break ended, and the auction continued. Shirley once again sat at the far edge, her eyes fixed on Cynthia.

Cynthia didn’t bid on any more jewelry pieces. She was messing with Shirley earlier. Shirley was fuming with anger, Whitney’s words repeating in her mind.

Shirley wondered, “How can I make that 16 million dollars worth it? A quick idea flashed through her mind, a malicious glint in her eyes

She thought, ‘Cynthia, today I’m going to make sure you are completely humiliated at this upscale event.

On the other side, Jonathan noticed Cynthia was a bit distracted and leaned over to ask, “What are you thinking about Cynthia shook her head and said, “Nothing”

Jonathan pointed to a bracelet being auctioned and said, “It’s a design by Miss Y. Do you like it? If you do, I’ll bid on it for

you.

Jonathan was about to raise his paddle, but Cynthia stopped him, saying, “It’s not necessary.”

Jonathan had previously gifted Cynthia a piece designed by Miss Y, a jewelry necklace named “Turning Darkness Into Light.” Cynthia loved it.

te no

Cynthia didn’t know how to explain it. She had forgotten to tell jonathan she was Miss Y. However, she felt no need to explain because Jonathan would find out soon enough

With Cynthia’s urging, Jonathan refrained from participating in any of the bids. Among the many auctioned items, there were only three pieces by Miss Y, each sold for a high price.

One of them, a jewelry crown, even fetched an astonishing 40 million dollars.

Two hours later, all of today’s jewelry pieces were auctioned off David announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, please take at short break. Up next is the highlight of our event–the bidding for the Queen’s Tears!”

The Queen’s Tears was the exhibit everyone was eagerly anticipating. It was also the only piece Miss Y had publicly posted on social media, showcasing its immense value. Discussions in the jewelry world about it had been buzzing for quite some

time.

But even on Miss Y’s account, the finished piece was never show. Instead, only a design sketch was posted. Yet even the sketch amazed the world. The design was a masterpiece, intricate and exquisite.

Even the 80–year–old master of the jewelry world praised it as the pinnacle of jewelry design, unmatched before and unsurpassed in the future. The excitement around the Queen’s tears was

unprecedented, becoming universally recognized

in no time.

Additionally, it was set with the massive Kashmir Sapphire from Queen Elizabeth’s coronation. So, this piece of jewelry had become a symbol of wealth and power. The world’s richest billionaires and most noble royal families all want it.

Everyone was curious to see what astronomical price the Queen’s Tears would fetch at auction. Would it set a new record in the jewelry world?

Meanwhile, the live room was already packed. There was never an official announcement for it. This live room was set up on a whim, and the viewership had reached an astonishing hundred million. Comments were flying everywhere.

One comment read: [How did a little office worker like me stumble into such a high–end live room?]

Another comment was: [Prince Harry from Enmeria, the First Lady of Korea, the son and the daughter from the wealthiest family, the Smiths from Starlight Cinema, and the Crown Prince of Dubaisa–wow! This is the pinnacle of high–caliber individuals!]

One comment followed: [You guys care about the guests, but I’m only interested in the Queen’s Tears designed by Miss Y. What kind of jewelry piece can attract all these top–tier big shots from around the world?]

Another comment read: [You all go ahead and admire the jewelry; I’m shipping the Stunning Couple–they are back together and are just too sweet! I hope they appear on another reality show soon.]

Someone wondered: [Can I ask, who was the person standing on stage before the auction started, wearing glasses and looking so cold and cool? Was he a bodyguard? He is so cool and aloof, I’d love to spoil him!]

Another person chimed in: [Finally found the group, girl! He’s my type. But forget about sponsoring him. He’s the CEO of QUEEN.]

Cynthia came out of the restroom, grabbed her bag, and returned to her seat. The auction was about to start. Shirley followed closely behind her.

But after they got back, Shirley suddenly screamed, catching the attention of many guests. David was about to announce the start of the auction but had to stop when he heard Shirley’s scream.

Shirley shouted, “My jewelry is gone! A thief stole my jewelry!” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
