Chapter 354 Little do they know that mediocrity ismon in this world.


    Do they really think everyone can be a natural genius like Dr.


    Lloyd ? Cedric remarked


    Grandpa, stop acting high and mighty, Francesca retorted


    If it werent for Andrew, you wouldnt have gotten such great benefits from this auction either. Cedric immediately brightened up with a smile.


    Well, Dr.


    Lloyd certainly helped this old man catch a lucky break today


    While everyone else was excited, Andrew remained remarkably calm.


    Lets tally up all the gains and have Ms.


    Santana process them, Andrew said casually.


    Elsie perked up with surprise, Mr.


    Lloyd, youre not taking everything you won today? Ill take the Blood Phoenix Cicada and the Royal Violet Crystal, Andrew replied


    For the rest, III trouble you to convert them to cash.


    Though slightly disappointed, Elsie quickly became energized again.


    While Andrew took the two best pieces, the remaining items were still valuable and would bring significant profits under Radiant Groups management.


    Francesca and Elsie began calcting Andrews spoils, with the breathtaking Blood Phoenix Cicada being the crown jewel that captivated both women


    The Royal Violet Crystal won from Aspen came second a true treasure in its own right, though now belonging to Andrew as part of his victory.


    Mr.


    Lloyd, here are your total gains from todays auction, Elsie summarized after two minutes.


    Three premium gems, plus your Blood Phoenix Cicada, the total value is at least 200 million. Thats fine.


    Process them as we discussed.


    Andrew smiled.


    Cedric could not contain his envy, Making 200 million in one auction Dr


    Lloyd, youre literally a money printing machine! Andrew wanted to say he had already achieved financial freedom years ago, and the sry he made as a doctor was insignificant.


    Just then, Elsie brought two security cases, carefully cing the Royal Violet Crystal and Blood Phoenix Cicada in them before solemnly handing them to Andrew.


    Without hesitation, Andrew pushed the Royal Violet Crystal case toward Francesca.


    Why are you giving this to me? she asked in surprise.


    Andrew simply replied, Its a gift


    Francescas face turned bright red.


    Though she desperately wanted it, she felt too embarrassed to ept it.


    Chapter 354  Andrew, 1... I cant ept something so valuable she stammered


    Andrew smiled and asked directly, Fran, dont you like it? The direct question made Francesca shy, and she lowered her head with a sweet feeling in her heart.


    Of course I like it.


    What girl wouldnt love such a beautiful crystal ? But its yours, and its so precious... I told you earlier wed make money, Andrew said


    You worked hard throughout this whole thing, so this crystal is your reward.


    While Francesca was still hesitating, Cedric could no longer contain himself.


    Since Dr.


    Lloyd is being so generous, III ept it on Frans behalf.


    Thank you, Dr.


    Lloyd! Then, he snatched the case and hugged it to his chest with a look of pure satisfaction.
