When the auctioneer finished the introduction, a mixed-blood beauty in a hot skirt came up with the gem.
"This is the gem that I just introduced to you. Whether in terms of the color or the cutting, it's excellent work. Now let's start bidding. The base price is three million dollars." The introduction was completed.
Tracey had been distracted until seeing the ruby. She wanted to get it early so that she could go home. She deemed its hammer price would be around ten million dollars.
As a jewelry designer, she knew diamonds well. Although this ruby was not cheap, yet it couldn't be too expensive. However, Tracey didn't have much confidence to acquire it at a reasonable price.
She raised her hand, "Three and a half million dollars."
Another middle-aged man bided, "Four million."
"Three and a half million! So much money! I can't earn this number this life..." Seeing Tracey said this price calmly, Stella screamed inside.
Sure enough, Stella didn’t understand the rich's
world.
Renee had been staring at Tracey. She thought that Tracey was here for fun, and Adam was not with her. "She must come here for something." Renee thought.
No matter what Tracey wanted, Renee swore to grab it away. It tuned out it was the ruby.
Renee said to Bradley, "Bradley, I want the ruby, can I?" She was not sure if Bradley would buy her that thing, but he was said to be very generous to women.
Renee was ready to be rejected, yet her heart was pumping with fear.
"Will he say yes?" Renee was curious. After all, she wasn't with this man for too long and did not know him very well.
Bradley kept staring at Tracey, who always raised her hand to bid. He secretly observed her for a while, finding she was in low spirits until this ruby appeared.
Even though Renee didn’t ask, he would take action. The price had gone to six million dollars, and barely people would like to bid.
The ruby was worth a high price, however, if going beyond its true value, it would lose popularity. Those who came here were basically business people, and they cared about the cost performance most.
So, it was not because they couldn’t afford this ruby. Tracey was the first bidding person, and she would bid every new price, she was obviously coming here for it.
Those people who gave up bidding had seen it, if they continued to compete against Tracey, they would suffer loss.
"Eight million." Bradley called out, straightly raising the price from six million to eight million. Everyone turned to look at him as if looking at a warrior.
Even Tracey also turned to look at him. Due to the dim light, she only saw Bradley and did not see Renee, who was blocked by his tall figure.
"Eight million and a half." Tracey looked away after glancing at him. She had noticed that the people around had given up this gem. If it weren't for Bradley's competition, Tracey had already acquired it.
"Nine million." He kept bidding without hesitation.
"Nine and a half million."
"Ten million."
People were stunned to see these two people because few of them believed that the gem could be priced this high.
