Chapter 62
Jace was unfazed. He did not think that the enamel plates had anything to do with Sage divorcing him. Besides, it was he who had asked for the divorce and not her.
Jace and Sage were once again at the center of attention. Neither of them looked like they were going to back down. Testing each other’s patience, Sage and Jace took tums increasing the price by a hundred thousand dollars each time.
The crowd watched in confusion. They felt like they were watching an argument between two high school students.
Were they going to continue bidding until a billion dollars?
The auction master was slowly getting exhausted too. When the bid reached five million dollars Sage stopped
Luther asked, “What’s wrong? Too tired? Here, let me help you.”
He comforted Sage. “There, there. Don’t worry about the final price. I’ll pay for it. This is the Bennetts’ turf, I will not allow anyone t o bully you.”
Luther was about to raise the sign when Sage stopped him, shook her head, and said, “The plates are only worth this much. There’s no point in increasing the price.”
In the end, Jace had won the bid at five million dollars.
The profits from the auction amounted to almost two hundred and thirty million dollars. Of course, this was to the benefit of Timeless Magazine, the organizer of the auction. It increased their reputation.
“Let’s go.”
Sage left the event hall with her assistant while Luther and Yoselyn had to stay back and sort the donations and the remainder of the items that had been donated for the auction.
Sage had to wait by the roadside as Hunter had gone to bring the car. He had parked the car at quite a distance so Sage had to wait a while.
The night was slightly cold. Wrapping her arms around herself, Sage suddenly felt a weight on her shoulders. She tumed to see Yoel smiling brightly at her. “It’s cold out here, huh? Here, you can have this.”
Yoel was about to take off his coat when someone snatched the coat away from his hands.
Jace put the coat into Yoel’s arms, took off his coat, and placed it around Sage’s shoulders. “He drank too much, and his coat reeks o f alcohol. You can have mine.”
