The whole room was silent.
The host asked three tis, then made the final decision.
Maeve ng snapped back to reality, puffed up her cheeks, and curiously asked, "Uncle, why did you buy that chicken leg? You can’t eat it!"
"Haha." Caiden Ward couldn’t stop laughing. He pinched her cheek affectionately and said, "It can’t be eaten, but you can look at it. Consider it a little gift from Uncle to you."
"..." Maeve ng was montarily stunned and surprised, "It’s for ?"
"You don’t want it?" Caiden Ward raised an eyebrow.
"Um." Maeve ng’s black, shiny eyes darted around twice as she looked troubled and said, "Although I prefer real fried chicken, since Uncle said it’s for , I’ll reluctantly accept it..."
Caiden Ward chuckled and ssed up her hair completely.
The mushroom head turned into a bird’s nest.
Maeve ng: "..."
Blair Chester on the side was even more exasperated.
She glanced at Caiden Ward, nearly fuming.
Sitting upright with pursed lips, feeling wronged and annoyed, she looked up at the third auction item.
The ceremonial lady opened the box cover, and the dazzling diamond necklace imdiately caught everyone’s attention. Following a series of low exclamations, it was magnified several tis on the electronic screen, showcasing its unparalleled elegance.
In this world, there is probably no woman who can resist the allure of diamonds.
Diamonds are forever, one is passed on forever.
This catchy advertising slogan has further elevated diamonds as a symbol of eternal love.
The third auction item was a stunning diamond necklace.
The necklace had an elegant design; the water blue-colored diamonds sparkled brilliantly under the flowing lights. As the ceremonial lady walked down holding the box, everyone could clearly see that the necklace was adorned with nine water-blue pear-shaped diamonds of varying sizes on each side, complented by white broken diamonds to form an exquisite wing shape.
Wings?
So ladies looked twice but hadn’t caught on yet.
The host on stage was already introducing loudly, "A diamond necklace anonymously donated by a Scent River jeweler, Angel’s Wings, starting price, six million."
His voice had just fallen when a wave of exclamations and discussions rose from below the stage.
Mia Ginger took a sip of tea from the cup on the table, and across a few seats, Lia Chester, smiling, unexpectedly said, "It’s truly Angel’s Wings."
Beside her, Olivia Williams was puzzled and chid in, "Miss Chester, do you know this necklace?"
"It’s said to be the final masterpiece of internationally renowned jewelry designer Carl Heine before his death, a token of love for Y Country’s Prince Arthur and Princess Caroline. During warti, it was lost to the public. Two years ago, it appeared at an overseas jewelry auction and was bought for a high price of twenty million by an anonymous jeweler. Angel’s Wings signifies protection."
"Is that so?" Olivia Williams smiled, "It sounds particularly desirable."
"Who wouldn’t say so." Lia Chester shrugged slightly.
Not far away, many people had already started raising their paddles one after another.
Soon——
The bidding price was shouted up to twelve million, doubling.
Everyone looked up, their gaze landing on Aurora Cooper’s smiling face, and quieted down for a mont.
The host on stage loudly said, "Angel’s Wings diamond necklace, Ms. Aurora Cooper, Chairman of Amanda Company, bids twelve million, is there anyone with a higher bid than twelve million?"
The venue was again filled with whispers.
Koa Jackson looked up and glanced at a staff mber standing not far away, whispered sothing, and raised his paddle.
The host didn’t recognize him, was stunned for a mont, and then said loudly, "Gentleman number sixteen, bids fifteen million, is there anyone with a higher bid than fifteen million?"
