It originally belonged to a family named Murray. According to this saying, Selena thought that her mother should be carrying the Murray name as well. However, her mother’s maiden name was Cecilia Davis, which had nothing to do with a name like Murray.
But she couldn’t care less. No matter what, this bracelet belonged to her mother, and she had to buy it today. Soon, the bidding started, and sure enough, many people were here for it. The starting bid was three million, and the price went up to fifteen million after just one round of bidding.
“How much should we bid in the next round, President Yard?” After a moment of hesitation, Selena replied, “Thirty million.”
“We’re doubling it directly?” “That’s right. I want the other bidders who are just following the price to retreat. I want to put an end to this quickly.”
As expected, once the thirty million bid was placed on it, the ones who were following the bidding price all retreated. During the third round, Selena went straight for fifty million, and there were only three bidders left in the end.
“Sixty million!”
“Seventy million!”
“Eighty million!”
It seemed as though all three of them were determined to buy this bracelet! Selena found it odd. Although this bracelet was historical and looked very pretty, unless they had a special relationship with it, no one would spend such a huge amount of money on it.
“President Yard, for the next round… what should we do?”
“A hundred million! I don’t think that they’ll follow!” Selena answered as she clutched her cell phone tightly.
The jade bracelet was unexpectedly popular with two other people still vying for it with her at this stage. At this, she was really curious about the people who wanted the bracelet as badly as her!
“President Yard, a hundred million is our maximum bid and not a single dollar more than that. We’ve submitted a deposit for this auction, and we’re required to pay up within a day. Otherwise, the deposit will be forfeited. Not only that, we’ll also be banned from participating in future Royal Auctions and blacklisted. We have only one hundred million in funds which we could use, and anything additional will have to be transferred from Springvale, but we won’t have enough time for that,” Linda said, explaining the current situation to her.
Right then, Selena could only regret not setting foot into Astoria earlier. If only she had developed her business in Astoria as soon as possible, she wouldn’t have had to care about all these. After all, it was merely a hundred million, and even if it was a few hundred million, it would be considered peanuts to her.
