Four of them stood outside the hall and chatted for a while. Soon, the second session was about to begin, and the group of people entered the hall again. They returned to their respective seats. It was only after everyone had taken their seats that they began the auction. The items in the second session of the auction were naturally much more valuable than the items in the first session. There were paintings of ancient famous artists, an Imperial seal that had been lost for thousands of years, and a scepter used by the Uqobia royal family. In short, there were all sorts of rare treasures. However, maybe it was getting closer to the last treasure, at this time, everyone was much more cautious. While they stopped looking at the auction items in front of them, all of them were now concentrating, and quietly waiting for the last treasure to appear. Of course, Isaac had heard about the last treasure. He probably shared the same thoughts with Emmelin
Emmeline cast an admiring glance at her. "Esme is still very smart." Suddenly, Isaac was speechless. Why did he feel that he was being looked down upon? However, even though he was complaining, he knew for sure that Jara wasn't really giving up. Rather, he was planning to wait until the last minute to win over the bid. Only then did he feel at ease. Soon, that golden-haired foreigner was defeated. The man sighed helplessly and shook his head in disappointment. Turning around, he made a fist-holding gesture to show his respect to Mr. Payne, then gave up. At that moment, there was a smug look on Mr. Payne's face. This time, Mr. Payne went all in and almost bet all his money. Even if he was not the richest present, he had the highest bidding price. In the end, the bidding price of 80 million yuan was bid up to 1.5 billion dollars by him and the foreigner! At present, the hostess glanced across the hall and said with a smile, "Mr.
So she tugged at him and said, "I'm not feeling well. Can you take me to the restroom?" Isaac turned around and nodded, then he took another look at Mr. Payne and let out a snort. After that, he told Jara and Emmeline to wait for them at the same spot before turning around and went to the bathroom with Esme. After he left, Mr. Payne also left with a gloomy face. This time, he didn't even exchange a greeting with Jara. It was obvious that he wasn't happy about it. However, Jara was not that kind of person who would hold grudges. Not only did he not haggle over it, he greeted him attentively. "Mr. Payne, take care along the way." Hearing that, Mr. Payne almost tripped over as he was about to leave. Emmeline couldn't help but laugh, turning to glare at him angrily. "Why are you making fun of him?" Raising his eyebrows, Jara replied, "I'm not. I worried for him. After all, he's still so ambitious at such an old age. He's not a person t
Emmeline also leaned over. In order to have a better look at it, her whole body leaned to his side, and her head was almost next to his. After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Did you see anything?" Jara handsome brows furrowed slightly as he said in a low voice, "This isn't the same piece from four years ago?" "What?" Upon hearing that, Emmeline was stunned as she looked at him in surprise. Putting down the jade, Jara turned his head, and only to realize that she had already leaned over at some point. The two of them were at a very close proximity. They were so close that he could easily smell the faint scent of lavender on her hair, which it disrupted his breathing. But soon, he acted as if he didn't notice it and hid away his feelings. Silently, he moved closer to her so he'd be closer to her. Raising the jade pendant in his hand, he explained. "Look at the texture on this piece. I have carefully observed the one that appeared four
When Yunne saw this, she quickly nodded. "Then wait for me for a while, I'll go get it." She didn't go out until she got Emmeline's permission. It didn't take long for Yunne to come back. Coming in with a small box in her hand, she placed it on the table. Emmeline looked at it and saw that there were all kinds of tools in it. She couldn't help but laugh, "Wow, seems like you have a full set of equipments." WIth a smile, Yunne said, "Well, It's because I am not skillful enough, so using the equipment would be a plus. Emmeline, lie down on the bed first." Thus, Emmeline complied and lay flat on the bed. Subsequently, Yunne took a cushion stool from the dressing room, and sat down by the bed with her head facing her. After warming her hand, she began to give her a gentle massage. She had to admit that Yunne was being modest when she said that her skill was not good. Because after experimenting it for herself, in fact, Emmeline co
As she thought of this, she felt at ease. However, she felt uneasy when she slept that night. She didn't know what was going on, but somehow she felt a little suffocated as if there was a stone pressing on her heart, which almost made her puked. In the middle of the night, Emmeline was awakened. There was a rush of footsteps outside. She got out of bed and ran to the window to have a look. The whole castle was ablaze with lights. Cars and people were moving around outside, while everyone was in a hurry and panicking. A bad feeling welled up in her heart. As she looked at the time, it was just three o'clock in the morning. At this time, Yunne had probably heard the noise as well, so she rushed into Emmeline's room. Still in her pajamas, she wore a thin jacket to layer herself. When she saw Emmeline glancing out of the window, she asked urgently, "Miss Illington, are you okay?" Then, Emmeline turned to look at her and asked wit
"But, after we all went to bed at night, I didn't expect that there would be an explosion in Mr. Holland's room." "When we broke in, we saw that the room had already been set on fire. We tried our best to save Mr. Holland, but he was already seriously injured." "Because I couldn't figure out who did it at the moment, I rushed back all the way." Upon learning the news, Emmeline frowned deeply. Then, she asked in a low voice, "Didn't you check it carefully when you were staying in the hotel?" Quan replied solemnly, "I've checked." Hearing that, Emmeline was stunned. Immediately, she noticed a complicated and remorseful expression on Quan's face. So, some thought, she figured out what was going on. "There is a mole?" Upon hearing that, Quan clenched his fists and nodded. "The guards?" Again, Quan nodded. Upon realizing the truth, Emmeline let out a sigh. No wonder. The mole was one of the guards. No one
"In truth, I don't hate you at all. Although you have done a lot of things that hurt me very much, I still know that you are my Jara, who will always protect me, take care of me, and promise to be good to me." Suddenly, her eyes became sore as tears welled up. But she was strong, and she didn't let it drop. Curling her lips, she smiled softly. "Do you still remember that I liked to call you Brother Jara when we were young? At that time, I really wanted to have an elder brother, so I always followed behind you." "But later on, you beat me when we were practicing martial arts, so I didn't want to call you that anymore." "I heard that the older brothers in other families dote on their younger sister and they would never hit her." "But you hit me. I hated you at that time. I told myself that I won't call you Brother Jara anymore." "Do you still remember? For this matter, you have been angry with me for a long time, but you had no idea why I stopp
