Gem Atkinson and Forsythia Brown returned to the auction just when it was at its most intense.
Tiffany Mamet scoffed as she watched Gem help Forsythia take a seat. It was then, amidst the crowd's exclamations of amazement, that she turned her attention to the auction stage, realizing the main event of the evening had arrived.
The item up for auction was a crown.
The auctioneer was energetically promoting it, saying, "According to appraisals, this crown comes from Ancient Egypt and is known as the Wish Crown. It is said to have been found in an unnoticed corner of a pyramid, clearly left behind by grave robbers in their haste, and was later discovered by archaeologists. It is exquisitely carved, and its decor is simply breathtaking. Take, for example, the black diamond on the crown, which weighs 118 carats and is, to date, one of the largest black diamonds found in the world..."
The mysterious glow of the black diamond nearly blinded everyone's eyes.
