To everyone's surprise, a female celebrity standing not far from them opened her mouth, and said, "Sixty million!"
Many of the people there recognized her; she was actually the wife of some famous oil tycoon.
"Jerry, could we really win this bid?" Janet had no idea of how much money her family really had. She whispered in Jerry's ears, hoping to get his support.
Jerry gave her a loving glance, and said, "Bit whatever you want!" He then looked thoughtful at the precious jewelry on display.
"Eighty million!" The moment Janet made her first bid, she became the center of attention for everyone present in the room.
Shirley looked at her in disbelief. 'Eighty million...'
"The Shao's daughter finally made a bid. What an overwhelming sum!"
"Yeah, she is way more daring than Kate!"
...
By making her bid this high, Janet had definitely stolen Kate's enthusiasm.
However, things took a sharp turn as Daniel opened his mouth firmly, and said, "One hundred million."
On hearing his bid, Janet became furious. She felt as if she had a lump shoved down her throat!
He dared to back up his girlfriend and belittle her!
"One hundred and fifty million!" Janet had now thrown all caution away to the winds! She was confident that Jerry and her father would back her up with the money.
The whole venue was suddenly quiet. The competition between the two super rich people was fierce!
However, Janet seemed to be overconfident with herself by confronting Daniel, who had made most of his fortune through his own hard work...
"Two hundred million!" Daniel's voice was still firm and proud, and Kate seemed to be worried as she lowered her head and whispered something to his ear.
She wanted him to play with caution.
Daniel curled his lips. Judging from its appearance, this was definitely a fine piece of jewelry. If it were sold at the bidding price of 50 million, then the auction house would have surely lost their profit.
However, many heads were turned as the bidding between the two seemed to be now going on even more fiercely. "Rumor has it that Janet is like a sister to Boss Si. How come the two are now competing with each other?"
"We should not trust the rumors on the internet!"
"Probably that's because his girlfriend is present. It's normal to support his girlfriend in stead of his so-called sister!"
...
Janet pulled one Jerry's shirt corners, and said, "Brother! Shall we continue?"
Jerry gave her a soothing smile, and said, "Of course,
"Do you know what you did wrong? It's alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!"
When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.
Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah's misfortune...
s that day.
Soon, a new rumor about the two spread among the present upper class. "Boss Si and Miss Shao bear a grudge against one another."
"I think so too. He was trying really hard to piss her off!"
"The so-called sister status is actually a joke. They are just pretending to be friendly in front of the cameras!"
...
As the auction was approaching its end, Janet, Shirley and Doris gathered together to gossip.
"Janet, are things getting real between you and Mr. Han?"
Doris was because Janet had never revealed it to them.
Janet cast a glance towards Daniel's direction. Boldly acknowledging the fact that she and Brian knew each other, she simply said, "Yeah. It is real."
She was not lying that she and Brian knew each other and were friendly towards each other.
Overhearing her words, Daniel paused, and he stared at the cellphone in his hands blankly.
"Wow! Congratulations! Janet, you should ask Brian to introduce me to one of his mates!" Doris were both excited when they heard the big news.
"Sure thing. No problem." Janet hastily nodded her head to them.
The girls giggled to each other as they watched the auctioneer declare the official closing of the auction.
Some of the staff then walked in to remove the chairs. After this, they carried a large well-decorated dining table and placed it in the center of the the room.
The long dining table had a beautiful laced white cloth on it. A huge vase of water lilies in the middle of the table was giving out a sweet scent, and the table was carefully set with exquisite silver cutlery.
Janet didn't want to stay there any longer, and said, "Jerry, I'm going now."
