Dicky and Mr. Lockhart were making themselves fools by fighting for Sienna's attention here.Perhaps understanding that Sienna did not want to pay him any more attention, Dicky sat down dispiritedly.Sienna then had someone bring up the second auction item—a trinket worth about the same as the painting. Its starting bid was 200 thousand.Perhaps the competition between Dicky and Mr. Lockhart made everyone come to their senses. This time, no one increased the price too much. Eventually, the second auction item sold for 400 thousand dollars.After that, there were eight auctions, none of which were anything valuable. The highest value was the tenth auction item, which went to a middle-aged man for 3 million dollars.As for the other nine auction items, nothing sold for more than a million dollars besides the first painting.The 11th auction item was a half-arm-length vase, which Sienna said originated from the Early Middle Ages."The starting bid is 30 million!"Sienna spoke calm
"One hundred and twenty million!"Someone in Private Room 7 raised the bid again.Titus raised his eyebrows and bid without hesitation, "150 million!"He was getting it for Aaron, so the price did not bother him.Titus could ask Aaron for more money if he did not have enough money.One hundred and fifty million had exceeded the vase's value, and everyone fell silent. No one made any more offers."Congratulations to the VIP in Private Room 1 for winning the vase for 150 million!"After asking thrice and finally confirming that there were no further bids, Sienna also announced the winner of the vase.Titus did not bid for the remaining auction item because giving Aaron the vase was already good enough."I know many people came here for our final auction item—Heart of the World!"In that case, I won't waste any more of your time!"Sienna said with a smile.Then, someone came on stage carrying an exquisite box.The box was slowly opened, and all the lights were turned off inst
Sienna's voice rang again, signaling that the auction of the pink diamond had officially begun."Five hundred million!"Just after Sienna finished speaking, Sean's voice came from Private Room 1.He raised the price by 400 million in one go."Damn. Whose heir is in Private Room 1? First, he won the Early Middle Ages vase for 150 million, and now he's offering 500 million!""Judging from his voice, he's probably young. Many families in Ocean City can afford 500 million. I wonder who's in Private Room 1...""Hehe, whoever he is, this pink diamond has nothing to do with us anyway. We didn't come to this auction in vain if we saw something worth hundreds of millions of dollars being auctioned off!"...There was a flurry of discussion as everyone wondered who was in Private Room 1.However, there were several families with assets of tens of billions in Ocean City. There were even three families with assets of more than 100 billion. For a moment, it was difficult to determine who w
"Judging from the voice, it should be the heir of the Yaleton family!" Sean said with a chuckle.Titus could not recognize Sebastian's voice, but Sean still recognized him after he changed it deliberately. Then, he calmly shouted the price of 1.5 billion."1.5 billion? Who the hell is in Private Room 1? Why does he want to pay an extra 700 million for this pink diamond?""Who knows? Maybe they have lots of money to spare?""Yeah, they must be wealthy to be able to sit in Private Room 1. Maybe 1.5 billion is an astronomical figure for us, but it's nothing for them."...Everyone was shocked to hear 1.5 billion.The crowd discussed the identity of the mysterious man in Private Room 1.Titus turned gloomy. He slowly stood up after hearing Sean's offer of 1.5 billion."Brother Lennon, I'll help you teach that fool a lesson."Upon hearing Titus' words, Sean shook his head and smiled. He faintly said, "Why argue with a clown like him?"But Brother Lennon, you can win this pink
Willow looked seriously at Private Room 6 and asked solemnly, "Private Room 6, are you sure you want to offer 2 billion?""Of course! Are you worried I won't be able to pay Winter Green Auction House?"Sebastian pretended to be calm as he answered flatly.Two billion already far exceeded the Yaleton family's liquidity.As the heir of the Yaleton family, Sebastian knew his family best.The Yaleton family could not afford 1.5 billion easily, let alone 2 billion.Although the Yaleton family's assets exceeded 10 billion, their fixed assets made up the majority. Their liquidity was no more than 1 billion at most.He was betting that Sean would not give up easily when Sean bid so high."Private Room 6, you're joking. Winter Green Auction House trusts you, of course."Sienna said with a polite smile.Then, Sebastian ignored Sienna and targeted Sean again."I wonder if Private Room is going to continue bidding. If you don't, I'm going to win the pink diamond!"Sebastian's joy-tinge
In Private Room 6, Mike was also secretly relieved when Sean offered 3 billion.After all, the Shawson family was a follower of the Yaleton family. If the Yaleton family was brought down because of this incident, the Shawson family's future would be in trouble."Young Master Yaleton, you're good! You made that hateful guy spend 2 billion more with just a few sentences. Hahaha!"Mike gave Sebastian a big thumbs-up and laughed.Sebastian also beamed smugly.Then, he pulled a straight face and murmured, "Since he offered 3 billion, will he be willing to offer 4 billion?"Mike was shocked to hear that.He wondered if Sebastian had gotten ahead of himself."Young Master Yaleton, you're gambling! If Sean gives up, this 3 billion is enough to sink the Yaleton family!"There are plenty of ways to get back at Sean, so why do we have to resort to dangerous tactics?"Mike sighed inwardly and tried to dissuade Sebastian again.However, Sebastian waved his hand and looked a little insane
Sean glanced at him, smiled, and said, "Titus, you know too little about the human heart."Even if I offer 5 billion, Sebastian will still raise the price. Do you believe me?"Hearing that, Titus paused and shook his head in disbelief."Sean, if that guy gives up, are you really going to spend 5 billion on this pink diamond?"Willow asked suddenly, looking worried.She could accept 1 billion to 1.5 billion.However, she did not want Sean to waste so much money for no reason.All three people in Private Room 1 looked at Sean with a stunned expressions to get him to give up the pink diamond."Haha, have you guys forgot?"I only need to give Jadon a call. Even if I ask for 20 billion, he won't refuse to give me the money!"Sean said, shaking his head and smiling.Sebastian was gambling, but not Sean.Firstly, he had saved the life of Jadon, the head of the Quartz family.Secondly, the Quartz family was now tied to him. There was no way they would risk their relationship with
Titus, who had been laughing earlier, had stopped laughing.He was laughing when he suddenly saw Seth and Willow display their affection."Brother Lennon, can I make the offer?"Titus said, looking excited.Even though he was heir to the Lake family's second branch, he had never offered an astronomical number of billions of dollars on any occasion.It was pointless to offer anyway, so Titus did not want to miss the chance to do it for fun."Sure, shout if you want."But I have one request. You have to keep that Sebastian guy offering."Otherwise, there's no point in what we're doing."Sean nodded and said with a smile.Sean felt he was wasting his time by arguing with a loser like Sebastian.The Yaleton family was not important. Seth only needed to talk to the Quartz family and could bring them down in days if he liked. In the eyes of the Quartz family, the Yaleton family, which was only worth dozens of billions of dollars, was no different from the ants on the road."Alr
