"Five hundred thousand, number 2023!"
"One million, number 5647!"
"One million five hundred thousand, number 1009!"
As soon as Selena opened her mouth to bid, the other party had already shouted out the prices for these three pieces without hesitation.
Selena raised an eyebrow.
And as Aurelia made her move, everyone else at the scene couldn't sit still and began to bid on these three pieces.
After all, in the eyes of most people, the chance of finding jade in something that Aurelia valued would naturally be much higher. It was a matter of who would bid the highest.
Immediately, the prices of these three stones skyrocketed, increasing several times over in an instant.
Aurelia had the backing of the Soo family, so except for Selena and Leon, no one else had the financial means to compete with her.
In the end, Aurelia acquired these three stones at prices of six million, ten million eighty thousand, and twelve million respectively.
After putting the labels on these three stones, Aurelia turned to Selena and asked with a smile, "Miss Turner, it seemed that you were interested in one of them just now. Why didn't you participate in the bidding?"
Selena's lips curled into a faint smile. "Because no one was competing for the one I was interested in."
She raised her slender fingers and pointed to a few pieces of remaining stones with fewer digits. "Number 888, five hundred thousand."
The group followed Selena's finger and looked at the stone she had chosen, then were all amazed and speechless.
Number 888 stone stood alone on the high platform, completely ignored by everyone.
It wasn't that it was a bad stone, but compared to the other stones, most people would immediately eliminate it.
Aurelia carefully examined the stone, looked at Selena, and once again showed that hesitant expression.
Edith sneered, "This kind of rubbish stone obviously cannot produce jade. Miss Turner only picks up other people's garbage!"
"Could it be that she thinks the number '888' sounds good and can really make her rich?"
Selena turned her head calmly and looked at the two sisters from the Bennett family. "Miss Bennett, I won't bear it the third time."
"Next, Miss Bennett, you may have to pay price for your sister's unfiltered mouth."
Aurelia's face changed slightly, and she scolded Edith sternly, "Edith!"
Edith pouted and complained, "Sis, I just said a few words. I didn't harm anyone. She's the one who took it personally. What does it have to do with me?"
She tugged at Aurelia's sleeve. "Besides, Sis, we don't have to be afraid of her..."
Aurelia was going to marry into the Soo family, and as a guest of the Soo family, she didn't think Selena could really do anything to her.
Aurelia obviously didn't realize the importance of the situation. After scolding Edith, she said to Selena, "I'm sorry, Miss Turner. Edith just speaks her mind and means no harm. Please don't take it to heart." Seeing Selena remain silent, she didn't think much of it.
She completely failed to notice the subtle gloating looks from the others at the scene.
These sisters were new to the capital and didn't yet know Selena's style. Usually, when the heiress spoke of making someone pay, there was sure to be some drama coming up.
After Leia hung Selena's sign with the "888" stones, those stones were taken down. Selena didn't bid much after that, but she enthusiastically directed Hattie and Leia.
"Hattie, you can bid on number 15062, the chubby one that looks like tiger..."
As Selena's biggest fan, Hattie didn't hesitate to bid as soon as Selena made her suggestion.
"Number 7856, hmm... looks a bit like a lucky cat. It'll bring you wealth if you bid on it. Leia, you can bid on this one."
Leia immediately went to put up the sign.
The other people in the audience were twitching their eyelids at the spectacle.
