Chapter 189 Increasing Bid
The bid of the painting kept increasing even though it had far exceeded the amount it was worth.
To Natalie’s surprise, more and more people raised their bidding paddles as the auctioneer called out the prices in high spirits.
Natalie went back to her seat beside Yandel and pushed her glasses up her nose lightly, looking like a young man.
“One hundred and fifty million!”
“One hundred and sixty million!”
The corner of Natalie’s lips twitched when she heard the numbers. This is ridiculous!
Yandel did not miss the change in expression on her face as he whispered, “Boss, you and that lady are amazing! The bid for the painting rises to a great extent because of your performance. There is a chance that it will become the item that is sold at the highest price in today’s auction!”
“I wore a veil. You still recognize me?” Natalie frowned.
She did not wear the veil to cover her freckles. Instead, it was because she did not want anyone to find out who she was.
“Well, I could still see your eyes. Even the dancer was not as calm as you were on the stage.” Yandel paused for a second before continuing, “I’ve known you for years and I’m used to seeing you in the hyper-realistic mask, so I can recognize you just by looking at your eyes. That said, that doesn’t mean that other people would be able to recognize you just now.”
Natalie nodded in response.
The bid was still increasing as seconds ticked by.
“Five hundred and eighty million going once!”
“Five hundred and eighty million going twice!”
“Five hundred and eighty million going thrice!”
As the gavel fell, the painting, The Flying Goddess, was sold at a price ten times its original value.
Yandel was not shocked at all at the price it was auctioned off.
Meanwhile, Natalie had a plan in her mind and said, “Yandel, I need you to do something for me.”
