Chapter 649
Ryleigh froze instantly upon hearing that Aunt Boucher was here She thought of something at that moment and suddenly became extraordinanly silent
Barbara wrapped her arms around Maisie’s Wow, we’ve found ourselves a couple here. We look so pitiful all of a sudden.”
Of course, Barbara knew about Ryleigh and Louis’ marriage
Only one sentence was enough to pique Ryleigh as she dragged Maisie over to her side Who told you that we’re a couple? And how can you slander me deliberately?”
Barbara then dragged Maisie back to her side again”Even if you’re not a couple now, you’ll still be husband and wife in the future”
Maisie felt a little dead inside as the duo dragged her to and fro Fortunately, the auction was about to start, and they stopped acting like two young girls fighting over a doll.
They then entered the venue, where there were at least enough seats for more than 1,000 people.
Barbara’s reserved seats were located in the first row, near the auction platform.
Maisie looked over and noticed that Mrs. Boucher, her aunt, and Louis were also sitting in the first row.
When everyone was seated, the raw gemstones that the other attendees wanted to auction appeared on the screen, and the people present began to name their price and bid. The buyer would profit from the purchase of the raw gemstone if it were to contain genuine gems. Of course, if someone else were to double their offer, the raw gemstone would go to the highest bidder.
However, if the raw gemstone one bought did not contain any real gem, it would be a pure waste of money. That was why everyone in the audience acted very cautiously.
The competition was indeed rather fierce. Some experts would judge the raw gemstones through the screen and finally decide whether to go for them.
In the end, Raw Gemstone #2 and #6 were displayed on the screen. These two gemstones were those that Barbara had her eyes on. The first stone that went onto the auction platform was Raw Gemstone #6
Ryleigh leaned into Barbara’s ear. “Will any of these two be it?”
Barbara stared at the screen. “I’ll at least be correct once? At least, that’s what I hope.”
Someone held up a placard. “4.5 million.”
