Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 331: Gift of the Goddess

To preserve the quality and color of the emerald, there are no unnecessary decorations on it.

The teardrop pendant lay quietly, and through the picture, Selena Kensington knew this emerald was no ordinary item.

The emerald is known as the ’King of Emeralds’, and this particular one is outstanding among them.

Selena Kensington watched its introduction with great interest.

Sterling Norwood appeared behind her at some point, "Do you like it?"

Startled by the unexpected voice, Selena glared at Sterling, "You scared me!"

Sterling wrapped his arms around her waist, as if to fuse Selena into his very being.

Selena leaned into his embrace naturally.

"Hey, move aside a bit, the next item is coming up."

Selena saw the bunny girl pushing out another item.

Soon, Selena saw them lift the curtain, revealing the item beneath.

The velvet gift box containing the ’Gift of the Goddess’ lay quietly inside.

The green hue caught her eye; it was beautiful in its purity, its clarity, its preciousness.

Selena was a bit far away, unable to see completely, but that shade of green was etched into her eyes.

A vibrant, lively color.

As this item appeared, the guests on the first level became more restless.

Even several guests from the second level couldn’t help but lean forward.

The auctioneer, savoring the shock and admiration in their eyes, began to speak, "This item is a teardrop pendant crafted from an emerald, named ’Gift of the Goddess’."

"According to legend, in the ancient Kingdom of Qubar, it was presented as a gift to the Goddess of Spring by the people of Qubar, hoping she would bring spring to the kingdom. The goddess loved the gift, and hence, the Kingdom of Qubar enjoyed eternal spring."

"Of course, this myth can be taken as a topic of conversation, but in recent centuries, the owners of the ’Gift of the Goddess’ have never been ordinary people."

"The Iron-Blooded Queen of the E-Nation, the Duchess known beyond The Northern Realm of the D-Nation... all have owned it."

"It can be said that the ’Gift of the Goddess’ has now come to symbolize mercy, eternity, happiness, and nobility as well as power and status..."

Selena listened to the auctioneer’s explanation below, slightly clicking her tongue.

Those who have owned it are not simple individuals...

"’Gift of the Goddess’, starting bid, five million US Dollars!"

Selena slightly widened her eyes.

This starting bid was four million US Dollars more than the previous ’Praying Angel’!

No wonder Hughes said earlier that the ’Praying Angel’ could only rank towards the middle to lower among all the items.

With the ’Gift of the Goddess’, the ’Praying Angel’, which was sold for eighteen million US Dollars, was simply not enough.

"Guest No. 1 on the first level, bids six million US Dollars!"

"Guest No. 13 on the first level, bids eight million US Dollars!"

"Guest No. 24 on the first level, bids nine million US Dollars!"

"Guest No. 37 on the first level, bids ten million US Dollars!"

"Guest No. 7 on the second level, bids twelve million US Dollars!"

The auctioneer quickly called out the numbers scrolling across the screen.

In just a few minutes, this item had already broken past ten million US Dollars.

Even people from the second level joined in.

Selena couldn’t quite understand why so many people were bidding on what was clearly a flashy but impractical item.

She voiced this question.

Sterling, hearing her, smiled and ruffled her hair.

"The importance isn’t the pendant itself, but what owning it can bring them."
