Winner Takes All Chapter 393
The private room on the second floor had exquisite lighting.Austin and Vincent entered the room and scanned their surroundings before looking at each other.As the employee left, Austin frowned and said, "Are all private rooms in auction halls so luxurious?"Vincent was similarly in awe. "I'm as surprised as you are… They've really gone over the top in decorating the room."The corner of Austin's mouth twitched as he sat down on the recliner seat.The room had more than just exquisite lighting.The entire private room was filled with a sweet aroma, while the walls were decorated with beautiful paintings of the human physique.Austin could only wonder if he had mistakenly entered an art exhibition.He also felt awkward about being in a private room with another man and no one else.Austin realized that the private room included a full view directly facing the auction table. It was obvious that the Clarks had assigned him to a VIP area with an optimal view of the auction as t

Yannis had complete confidence that her appearance would be able to charm Austin in a single night.The presence of the "bodyguard", however, had derailed her plans.Austin tried to hide his smirk. He wasn't the slightest bit angry as he was truly interested in letting the scene continue to play out.He wanted to see Yannis' reaction when she learned the truth.Yannis smiled at Vincent and said, "You sure are a generous man to allow your bodyguard to be in the room with you, Mr. Campbell. I guess that's what makes you so much different from the other rich folk."Vincent almost laughed out loud. His face turned red as he tried his best to hold back his laughter.The scene only made Yannis even more confused as she wondered if she had said the wrong thing.Vincent waved his hands. "It's nothing, sorry. Anyway, he's a good friend of mine, and we're always together."Austin remained silent as he realized that Vincent had already caught on to his plan to keep up the act.Vincent to

The auction hall became filled with guests as time passed.Other private rooms on the second floor were also lit up one after another.The design of the private rooms maintained the privacy of the guests as no one could tell who was in the other rooms.Austin continued to ignore Vincent and Yannis' conversation.He lowered his head to look at his phone as he sent a text message to Cecily on WhatsApp. "I'm going to get you a gift."Cecily instantly replied, "What is it?""You'll know when you see it."Austin then put his phone on silent mode before returning it to his pocket.He leaned on the chair as he stared at the brightly lit auction table below.The auction was about to start.Austin wanted to win the bid for the Blue Tears Diamond as a gift for Cecily no matter what.He wasn't worried about the price as he believed that the bid wouldn't possibly end up in astronomical numbers. And besides, he did have money now.Suddenly, Yannis sheepishly spoke up. "It's getting hot

Austin held back his laughter.He didn't want to spoil Vincent's mood. Hence, he forcibly diverted his attention to the somewhat dull auction on the podium.As round after round of bidding auctions passed inside the auction hall, the atmosphere grew increasingly heated.When the atmosphere reached its climax, the final three rounds of auctioning finally began.At this point, people on the second floor finally started raising their paddles to bid.Austin watched quietly.He was waiting for the finale, the "Blue Tears Diamond.""Mr. Campbell, the Blue Tears Diamond will be up soon," Yannis said softly.Vincent smirked. "Do you like it? I'll buy it for you then."Given his personality and financial power, spending a few hundred thousand dollars on a girl was routine.Moreover, the beauty in his arms was a wealthy woman herself. It was worth it to splurge on her."I will appreciate everything you buy me, Mr. Campbell."Yannis's eyes lit up. She almost melted into Vincent's arms

Although the voice was calm, it shocked everyone.In an instant, everyone turned their gaze toward the direction where the sound had come from."100 million dollars! We have a bid of 100 million dollars from the guest on the upper floor!" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.Immediately, everyone in the auction hall snapped back to attention.A cacophony of astonished gasps filled the air."Goodness gracious! Who's sitting in that room? He's willing to pay 100 million just like that?""Did he just double the bid? Looks like this big shot is determined to win!""That's ruthless. He shows no mercy at all. Could it be Jacob Sanders?"...Inside the room, Austin calmly set down the microphone and leaned back in his chair. He patiently awaited the outcome.It was his first time attending an auction.But observing the previous rounds, he had picked up a few tricks.He knew that continuous bidding only fueled the crowd's excitement and inflated the price beyond its true value.Strik

"But does he have the money to pay for it?" Yannis complained indignantly. At first, she didn't really care about the Blue Tears Diamond. She saw it purely as a means to get closer to "Austin."But when she saw the actual piece of jewelry, she couldn't help feeling moved.After all, which girl didn't like exquisite jewelry? Especially top-tier pieces like this!Such top-tier pieces were rare even at big-name auctions."Sigh... If you like it so much, just bid for it yourself."Feeling irritated, Vincent waved his hand dismissively. He was ready to wash his hands off the matter.Being a carefree and nonchalant guy, he was willing to spend money to impress a girl.But if Yannis kept bothering him about it, it took the fun out of it.Yannis was stunned. She looked at Vincent with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.Meanwhile, the auctioneer shouted loudly on the stage, "100 million dollars, first bid!"The sentence struck a chord with Yannis.Yannis was born and bred in

Dazed, Yannis felt her head starting to hurt. Her eyes widened as she stared at Austin.She felt like the world was spinning around her.If the man before her was Austin, who was she leaning on just now?Austin glanced at Vincent with a hint of helplessness.On the stage, the auctioneer had already started calling out for the third time.Right then, the gavel fell.The bid was closed as nobody continued bidding.As the session ended, the auction hall erupted into deafening gasps.The crowd turned their attention to the room on the second floor. They were curious to know who had made such an astronomical offer!The Blue Tears Diamond was indeed rare. Otherwise, it wouldn't have driven Yannis to such madness.However, besides the Blue Tears Diamond, the 200 million bid had also shocked everybody in the venue.Inside the room, Austin stood up, brushed past Yannis, and walked toward the exit.He didn't bother to even cast a glance at her.He had obtained what he wanted and d

Austin was somewhat surprised. He looked at the jewelry box in his hand with a slight smile. "Well, thank you."With that, he left with Vincent.As they departed, the staff, who was responsible for presenting the diamond to Austin, gradually furrowed his brow.He hurriedly made his way to a secluded corner and placed a call."Boss, there's been a change of plans. The Blue Tears Diamond didn't end up in Ms. Clark's hands.""Was it purchased by a gentleman named Austin Campbell?"Jacob's unexpectedly calm voice came out across the phone, causing the staff's furrow to deepen.He replied, "Yes, it was a gentleman named Austin.""Very well. Everything is going smoothly."Beep!The call abruptly ended.The staff member stood there in shock.He thought Jacob brought out the Blue Tears Diamond to impress Yannis.He wondered if it was for Austin instead.Did they misunderstand Jacob's intentions?Meanwhile, Yannis stumbled out of the auction house in a daze.
