Chapter 66
Justin’s face darkened. His thin lips were pursed as he thought, ‘If Anna was willing to pay
$9 million for this painting, $10 million isn’t a problem either. Anna suddenly held back,
not because she couldn’t pay, but because she simply gave up. She did this on purpose!’
However, Justin could not say anything about it. After all, no one forced Rosalind to follow
Anna’s bid to take this painting. Rosalind did this willingly.
Bella remained calm and did not bid for the other auction items.
Justin only wanted to bid for the antique rosewood chair, so he kept silent.
The next item was a pair of jadeite stones donated by Shannon on behalf of the Salvador
Corporation. The base price was $2 million.
Bella snorted lightly and shook her head in disdain.
She would rather spend money on the replica earlier than buy these two stupid stones.
Only fools would buy these.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSure enough, there were very few bidders. The auctioneer tried his best to raise the price,
but in the end, it sold for only $2.6 million.
The smile on Shannon’s face faded.
Justin looked calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.
That was because no matter what Shannon did, she would only embarrass Gregory. Justin
did not have a good relationship with his father either.
“The next item comes from KS Group and was donated by Ms. Mila Larson. It’s a pair of
azure porcelain teacups from the 18th century!”
Every collector in the audience was instantly aroused.
Bella was shocked. She quickly turned around and scanned the crowd behind her.
Finally, she spotted Mila’s graceful figure in the back row.
Bella nervously sent a message to Steven. [Why is Aunt Mila here? Why didn’t you tell me
she was coming?!]
Steven replied. [Ms. Bella, I just found out too! Maybe the Chairman sent Madam Mila here
at the last minute as a contingency.]
Bella panicked and thought, ‘Damn it! Wyatt never plays by the rules!’
Almost everyone from the Salvador family was present at the auction, so Bella was afraid
that she would not be able to hide her identity as the heiress of KS Group with Mila
around.
At this moment, Bella noticed that Mila was subtly gesturing an “okay” sign to her and
winking at
her, like a secret message between best friends.
Bella felt a surge of warmth in her heart and immediately understood what Mila meant.
She thought, ‘Oh, Aunt Mila, you’re always so wise!’
Everyone was ready to make a bid for the porcelain teacups.
“This porcelain is extremely rare, but Madam Mila still donated a pair! The Thompson
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfamily is really generous, as expected of a large conglomerate.’
“The Salvador Corporation is a large conglomerate too, but look what they donated. Those
two rocks are probably not as valuable as the stone sculptures in my garden.”
“Mr. Salvador certainly has questionable taste in a wife.”
Shannon’s face turned red with embarrassment. She felt like she was sitting on pins and
needles.
The auction item Shannon brought was at a different level from Mila’s donation. The
strong contrast made Shannon look so stingy and petty.
This was the first time in the auction that Justin showed an interest in an auction item. He
spun the paddle in his hand while deep in thought.
Bella murmured, “That’s top-quality celadon, the color of rain.”
When Justin heard Anna’s murmur, he could not help but turn to look at her in surprise.
Anna was focused on the antique teacup. Her fair and delicate skin was like fine porcelain.
Her elegant brows were relaxed, and she looked so beautiful under the light that Justin
forgot to breathe. Anna was actually a gorgeous woman, but Justin had never truly
appreciated her beauty.
