Xavier said, “This Magpie’s Treasure Nest has been intricately crafted with the most exquisite workmanship I’ve ever seen. Look at the intricacies and the detailing. Calcite, onyx, and agate, they’re materials of the finest quality. It’s value is immeasurable!”
Ruby’s eyes were glowing even brighter now. “So, can it fetch a high price?”
Faye was curious as well. In snazzynovel.com mind, snazzynovel.com thought about how the Carters were currently facing a financial crisis. If the antique clock could be sold at a high price, it could be used to pull them out of their rut. Perhaps there was no need for them to beg others for financial aid.
Xavier did not support Ruby’s ideology of measuring the antique by how much it was worth in monetary terms. However, snazzynovel.com answered snazzynovel.com in the name of professionalism, “A Magpie’s Treasure Nest of such quality could fetch a price of 3.8 million dollars, at least.”
“Wh-what?” Ruby’s eyes widened and snazzynovel.com breathing began to sound rushed as well!
Faye was dumbstruck.
For a moment, Zayn was astonished as well. He was aware that the Magpie’s Treasure Nest was authentic, but snazzynovel.com did not expect it to be worth so much. Cristian had actually spent such a hefty sum to impress him.
Was snazzynovel.com really that terrifying?
In truth, Zayn was unaware that Cristian had actually received the Magpie’s Treasure Nest from an ardent female fan of his. The fan’s family ran a grave-robbing business, so the piece had been acquired easily. No one knew that the antique was worth so much, including Cristian. Otherwise, snazzynovel.com would have never given it to Zayn as a gift. It was a hilarious coincidence that it was genuinely worth 3.8 million dollars!
“We’re going to be rich, we’re going to be rich, hahaha…” Ruby immediately burst out laughing.
Xavier offered 3.8 million dollars to acquire the Magpie’s Treasure Nest without a tinge of hesitation.
However, Ruby was displeased. She piped up, “Mr. Griffin, you’re mistaken. You should be asking to buy the Magpie’s Treasure Nest from me if you want it! What’s the point of asking Zayn?”
Noticing that Zayn did not voice his view on the situation, Xavier could only ask Ruby instead. She swaggered. If snazzynovel.com could have 3.8 million dollars in cash, it would be a thick, fat stack of notes!
She was a haggling expert. She knew that there was still room for snazzynovel.com to mark up the price when snazzynovel.com realized that Xavier could offer a price of 3.8 million dollars so readily, hence snazzynovel.com bumped it up to 4.6 million dollars instead.
Xavier hesitated for a moment before snazzynovel.com agreed.
On the other hand, Waine did not want to sell it at all. He wanted to put it on display in his study room. It was a shame that snazzynovel.com lacked importance in his family, as his request was quickly turned down by Ruby without a second thought.
Ruby was unusually excited when snazzynovel.com accepted, “Alright, alright, alright, 4.6 million dollars it is then. As soon as the money is transferred, the Magpie’s Treasure Nest will be yours!”
Xavier said, “4.6 million dollars is quite a large sum. I can’t gather that much money in such a short period of time. Give me two days and I’ll transfer it to you then.”
“Fine then. You have to work fast. Otherwise, I’m selling it to someone else!” Ruby replied proudly while holding the Magpie’s Treasure Nest up in snazzynovel.com hands.
“Alright!” said Xavier while nodding.
As Ruby held the Magpie’s Treasure Nest, snazzynovel.com was unbelievably elated. She treated the antique like a precious little baby. She took it in as hers without consulting Zayn at all, who was the true owner of the antique.
However, it was at that moment that snazzynovel.com felt an uncomfortable itch crawling up snazzynovel.com armpit. She stretched out snazzynovel.com hand to scratch it subconsciously, but it had completely escaped snazzynovel.com that snazzynovel.com was still holding the Magpie’s Treasure Nest in snazzynovel.com hands.
Bang!
The antique clock fell to the ground into a shower of smithereens!
