Chapter 254 - Auction - part 1

The Auction started as everyone settled in their allotted places. The first part of the auction is music instruments from the BC times.

Jeff bought a violin from 17th century, he knew very well how much Iris loved to play it. But due to her family she is forced to stop her passion. But he is determined to support her and this will be his first encouragment gift for her.

Soon after this, the books are auctioned. First it is of history related journals written by kings at that respective centuries. Scott is almost yawning when Enrick bought one of it for fifty thousand dollars.

Nathan who is sitting beside Scott wisphered the name of buyer and Scott snapped his head slightly to look at the person who once had a crush on his wife.

After two sections the books related to medical started to auction. There are total eight books and Scott is determined to buy five out of them.

"Twenty five thousand dollars" Enrick is the first person to bid and it is five times higher than the initial price set by auctioner.

Jeff smirked and winked at his friend. "Thirty five thousand dollars" he shouted and Enrick glared at him.

Nathan suddenly thought of giving one of it to his little sister. "Fifty thousand dollars" he bidded and he could feel two pair of eyes glaring at him.

Other person bidded for seventy five thousand dollars. It almost went to one million dollars and it is bidded by Enrick.

When the count down started. Scott snickered. "Two million dollars" he bidded and while Enrick looked at him with gawking eyes. Even Jeff and Elder Valdez narrowed their eyes and looked at buyer.

Second book is set to twenty five thousand dollars and Jeff is the first person this time. "Seventy five thousand dollars"

"One million" Raymond shouted.

Enrick rolled his eyes and bidded "One million twenty five thousand dollars" he looked at Raymond mockingly.

"One million fifty thousand dollars" Raymond bidded again.

Enrick sighed and shouted "Two million dollars"

When it started to count down Scott smirked. "Four million dollars" with this they again looked at him like he has gone crazy.

"He is Jean's fiancee. Iris told once" Jeff murmured softly and gauged his friends reaction.

"Oh... then he is buying for her. I guess" he smiled but it of course has a sadness in it.

Next three books are bought by Scott itself. As like before he bidded them with twice the price of the last bidder when the count down started.

Enrick is almost fuming in rage when Jeff chuckled. "Bro, anyway Jean will use them in the thesis that you are working together. Some or other way you will be benefited"

Enrick shot a glare but kept quiet. He didn't wanted Jean to talk high about her fiancée, it will hurt his pride.

Edward Wright looked fascinatedly. He knew that Scott has a doctor wife but he never thought he doted on her this much.

Next section is jewelry which has more competition. The first peice is the watch Scott and Raymond wanted to gift Jean.

In the same way Maria and Elder Valdez attended the auction for the same watch. "Maria, this is your sister's favorite one. Before she died we made a bet on this watch and unfortunately she left our world" he became emotional.

Maria has already listened to the same story for almost thousand times in her life. "We will buy it for sure father. I promise" she squeezed his hand and assured him.

Edward and his assistant who are sitting at first row looked at the watch. It is one of the lost possession of Braxton's Royal family. No one knew the real origin of Edward Wright. His surname is not Wright but it is Braxton.

Edward Charles Braxton...

"Sir, are we bidding on this peice. Your grandfather will be beyond pleased if you gift him. This actually belonged to your great grandmother" his assistant silently spoke.

"Hmm.. good idea. Let's bid" Edward smiled cunningly and decided to give thirty percent hike to his assistant.

On the other side. Scott smiled hopefully. "This watch is Jean's favorite. It was her mother's once, she will be beyond happy if she recognize this" he muttered to Nathan.

Raymond looked at it and he beamed at his wonderful idea. Jean's birthday is around the corner it he gifts this to her....
