After Being Cheating novel Chapter 109

To everyone's surprise, a female celebrity standing not far from them opened her mouth, and said, "Sixty million!"

Many of the people there recognized her; she was actually the wife of some famous oil tycoon.

"Jerry, could we really win this bid?" Janet had no idea of how much money her family really had. She whispered in Jerry's ears, hoping to get his support.

Jerry gave her a loving glance, and said, "Bit whatever you want!" He then looked thoughtful at the precious jewelry on display.

"Eighty million!" The moment Janet made her first bid, she became the center of attention for everyone present in the room.

Shirley looked at her in disbelief. 'Eighty million...'

"The Shao's daughter finally made a bid. What an overwhelming sum!"

"Yeah, she is way more daring than Kate!"

...

By making her bid this high, Janet had definitely stolen Kate's enthusiasm.

However, things took a sharp turn as Daniel opened his mouth firmly, and said, "One hundred million."

On hearing his bid, Janet became furious. She felt as if she had a lump shoved down her throat!

He dared to back up his girlfriend and belittle her!

"One hundred and fifty million!" Janet had now thrown all caution away to the winds! She was confident that Jerry and her father would back her up with the money.

The whole venue was suddenly quiet. The competition between the two super rich people was fierce!

However, Janet seemed to be overconfident with herself by confronting Daniel, who had made most of his fortune through his own hard work...

"Two hundred million!" Daniel's voice was still firm and proud, and Kate seemed to be worried as she lowered her head and whispered something to his ear.

She wanted him to play with caution.

Daniel curled his lips. Judging from its appearance, this was definitely a fine piece of jewelry. If it were sold at the bidding price of 50 million, then the auction house would have surely lost their profit.

However, many heads were turned as the bidding between the two seemed to be now going on even more fiercely. "Rumor has it that Janet is like a sister to Boss Si. How come the two are now competing with each other?"

"We should not trust the rumors on the internet!"

"Probably that's because his girlfriend is present. It's normal to support his girlfriend in stead of his so-called sister!"

...

Janet pulled one Jerry's shirt corners, and said, "Brother! Shall we continue?"

Jerry gave her a soothing smile, and said, "Of course, go on and have your fun!"

"Three hundred million!" Janet was so nervous that her hands were now soggy with sweat. She thought to herself that if Daniel bid more than this figure, she would give up!

But, to her biggest surprise, Daniel kept his silence this time, and Janet panicked as the host's hammer hit the table for the first time. Out of fear, she kicked Daniel's chair.

Kate heard her, and she turned around and looked at her with a confused look in her eyes.

"Daniel, don't you dare to set me up! Bid now!"

Kate then scornfully said to her, "Bid as much as you please, because Daniel never sets you up."

Jerry gave his sister a confident look, and then he said to Kate in a plain voice, "As long as my sister is happy we, the Shao family, could afford to bid three billion, let alone a mere three hundred million! Jane can bid any figure she wants to."

His words made Kate feel awkward; she shouldn't have humiliated herself in front of them. As soon as she turned her back, the auctioneer's hammer stroke for the third time, implying that the bidding for the pearl was over.

Janet won the bid for three hundred million, and the precious jewelry was now officially hers.

All of the upper class soon learned about the incident that happened between Janet and Daniel.

Janet was not placid at all on that day. It wasn't because she had cost her family a fortune, but because of the attitude she got in return from Daniel.

The charity auction then continued, and the forth item on the list was a small bead on a silver chain. It had an attractive name, "The Teardrop of the Sky."

"The Teardrop of the Sky is said to be the keepsake of some mysterious kingdom. As what and where that kingdom is, that information is unfortunately unknown. The bidding price for this item starts at ten million."
