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. Eyes hollowed, she w

As a local big shot, Jacob quickly learned about the arrival of the Clarks.The sudden appearance of the Clarks left him puzzled at first. But he soon investigated and found out the reason.The Clarks had come for Austin.So, when the Clarks decided to meet Austin at the auction house, he knew his opportunity had arrived.He had made several attempts to win over Austin's heart, but his plans were continuously shattered. After Austin broke his back, he no longer dared to approach Austin.The arrival of the Clark family presented him with the perfect opportunity to win over Austin.Therefore, Jacob generously brought out the Blue Tears Diamond.It was seemingly to please Yannis, but in reality, it was all for Austin.He was confident that Austin would bid the diamond out of love for Cecily.After all, judging from Austin's previous proposals, it was evident that he spared no expense for Cecily."My once-winning hand has been completely shattered. Now, I can only try to mend my

Austin had to admit that the item Jacob had presented him was indeed extraordinary.After putting the Blue Tears Diamond back into the jewelry box, Austin smiled faintly. "This token of goodwill alone isn't enough to make things go back to the way they used to be."Jacob had betrayed Austin several times. But since things hadn't gone horribly wrong, Austin considered showing mercy to Jacob out of gratitude for his past support.He broke Jacob's back to play it safe.Austin's everything was in this city, and Jacob was a big shot here. How could he allow someone else to take control of his territory?He would never let Jacob surpass him!Pulling out his phone, Austin sent a message to Cecily."I got you a gift."Cecily's response came almost instantly."Really? Show me quickly!"Austin chuckled. "If I show you now, it won't be a surprise anymore.""Hmph … Let's see whether you really can surprise me.""Just wait and see. Get some rest soon."After replying to the message, Au

After a brief moment, Austin smiled.Compared to the invitation from the Clarks, this one was more interesting.There was only a phone number and a line of text on the invitation.The text read. "I got business to discuss with you. Jennie Cooper."Putting down the invitation, Austin pondered briefly.Eventually, he took out his phone and dialed the number.The call was connected."Hello, is this Mr. Austin Campbell?" A slightly aloof voice came through.Austin was somewhat surprised. "Yes, it's me. Ms. Cooper, may I ask what business you want to discuss with me?""Let's meet at the Emerald Retreat's Sky Pavilion at 8:00 pm tonight."Beep!The call ended abruptly.Austin was taken aback.Judging from the invitation, he felt that the Coopers' purpose was similar to the Clarks'.But unlike the Clarks, the Coopers were surprisingly straightforward.Compared to the Clark family, Austin was more inclined to meet Jennie.It wasn't because of her straightforwardness, which piqu

As the evening approached, Austin left work right on time.Aldus was already waiting in the car by the roadside.After Wolf and Austin entered the car, they headed straight to Emerald Retreat.Austin didn't pay much attention to who might be hosting the event tonight at Emerald Retreat.If it was Jennie, they could sit down and talk.But if it was Yannis, he could simply leave.In the afternoon, Austin had learned a bit about the Cooper family through Ezra. They were also in the entertainment industry and constantly overshadowed by the Clarks.However, the Coppers had other main businesses except for the entertainment industry. Hence, to be exact, the Coppers were a bit stronger than the Clarks.The two families were already arch-rivals in the entertainment industry.It was no wonder both parties had come with the same purpose in mind."Mr. Austin, it seems that both the Clarks and Coopers have come to build rapport with you.
