Chapter 45 – Robin stuns the party2

At the same time, the businessman passed Lizzy's card to Daniel, who was grinning like a fool? 'Gotcha,' he smirked while reading the details of the call card. There were so many around getting what he wanted, so long as he did not give up.

"So, Mrs. Jewel, if you are okay, then I will announce your business to all my guests," Mr. Bright proposed. He was doing it all in appreciation for all the help Robin offered him before.

"I am very grateful," Sabrina said politely. Mr. Bright immediately called everyone's attention by signaling the MC to change the music to a slow one. Those who were dancing before stopped and everyone gave their attention to the high table.

"Everyone, an amazing woman is sitting beside my wife and as you all know, her name is Mrs. Sabrina Jewel, the ex-wife of my good friend, Robin Jewel. You can all attest that she has a very stunning diamond around her neck and she has a unique way of selling it."

He gave the microphone to Sabrina and said, "Your turn."

Sabrina took the microphone, a little awkwardly as she had not prepared a public speech. However, she also knew that most of the things happening would be on the lips of the media the next day, for which reason she could not embarrass herself and her father's company. 

Rising to her feet, she put on a mask of confidence, and her shyness was thrown to the back as she said,

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Mr. President. First of all, I go by Sabrina James now and I am the deputy CEO of JC Minerals. So, the rules for buying this jewelry are very simple. The necklace on my neck is 1.5 million but that is only the starting price. I believe a lot of men would want to buy one for their special women so whatever amount you buy it for, is the value you put on the woman you are buying it for."

The guests at the party broke into murmurs before a voice rose above them all. The party was attended by billionaires and millionaires so almost everyone could afford it. The only problem was how much they would put on it or how far they would go to get it.

"I will buy it for 3 million," somebody said from the crowd, and before Sabrina could speak, Mr. Bright spoke through another microphone,

"Sorry guys, I forgot to add that since my wife's favorite color is red, I will buy the necklace she is wearing for 10 million."

"15 million," somebody said from the crowd when Sabrina said, 

"I'm very sorry but this particular one is gone. It's not for sale anymore, because it's my gift to the President on his birthday. Since he can't wear it. It directly goes to his wife."

Removing the necklace from her neck, she clipped it to the neck of Mrs. Bright. Everyone was shocked because she just gave out the necklace for free when someone was ready to pay 15 million for it.

"Thank you," Mrs. Bright grinned, rose, and kissed Sabrina on the cheek, before hugging her. Mr. Bright gazed at Robin and said,

"Your ex-wife is quite generous and how wonderful for my wife to receive my birthday gift on my behalf," he smiled in awe. 

Robin had to agree that Sabrina's strategy was an excellent one. He never expected an amateur woman among old business foxes would use this method. "It's a birthday gift and your wife deserves it," Robin said with a smile. 

Lizzy clipped a green diamond to Sabrina's neck while she addressed the guests again, "Everyone, the red diamond is gone but this is equally beautiful, and the same rule applies," she said into the microphone. 

Her confidence was growing so fast from the way most people were enthused about the necklace.

"15 million," the same billionaire from before said then he added, "My wife's birthday is in a week and I know she would love it. We have been married for thirty years but I can't go beyond 15 million though I would have wished to buy it for 30," he said honestly. He was a man of dignity in his late fifties.

Sabrina was moved by his speech but did not know how to address him since she did not have his name. 

"Mr.…"

"Clark," he quickly added. Sabrina had quieted down the other potential buyers before addressing him politely,

"Mr. Clark, this necklace is yours." 

Lizzy quickly unclipped it, placed it into a luxury case, and took it to the man after swiping his card. When she returned, she wore the purple necklace for Sabrina. Devin was watching his sister proudly and Martin was simply amazed. Determination was a strong motivation for a woman like Sabrina and she was handling things tactfully.

"This is the fourth of the JC exclusive collections. Anyone?" Sabrina called out, opening the floor once again for the banter bargain.

"17 million," a billionaire said from the crowd.

"20 million," an elegant-looking woman said. She noticed that the billionaire was about to raise the bid when she added, "Please wait. I'm buying it for my mum as a Mother's Day present and 20 million is my last. I wish I could go beyond though but that would break my bank account."

Hearing her talk about Mother's Day, Sabrina missed her mum and her eyes were a little glassy. She beheld the woman with a profound smile and said, "Then it's yours!" 

A tear dropped from the woman's eyes. She was struggling with what to buy for her mother but purple caught her attention since it was her mother's favorite color and she knew she had to get it by every means. Lizzy went around her duties again. 

When she returned, she wore the yellow diamond for Sabrina and due to her blonde hair, it radiated magically under the fancy lights. Sabrina looked like the star of the night, standing there like that but had no idea.

"25 million," a billionaire said before Sabrina could utter a word.

"30," another billionaire said.

"This is the last piece of our exclusive collections and this design would no longer be produced," Sabina reminded them.

"40 million," the first billionaire raised the margin. 

"It's…." Sabrina was about to say it's yours when Robin said,

"50 million."

Zayla smiled. Robin was going to buy her another necklace in addition to the first one. Sabrina was unhappy but so were Martin and Devin, they did not plan to let Robin win.
