Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288 

Because it wasn’t convenient to speak loudly. Comelia moved in closer, so close that Marcus could smell the faint scerit on her In the dark, when Cornelia got distracted, he sneakily picked up a strand of her hair and sniffed it Her hair smelled good too Comelia was explaining something, but he wasn’t listening Suddenly, he asked, “Comelia what shampoo do you use? 

Comelia was taken aback President Hartley whats up with you?” 

Marcus “Nothing” 

Comelia. “The bidding for this antique painting has reached a hundred million, should we bid?” 

Marcus “Not interested” 

Comelia. “Okay” 

For the next few dems. Marcus displayed no interest in bidding The anticipation grow as they approached the final item of the day Unlike the previous items, the auction had kept the identity of the last item a secret, creating curiosity among the quests As the item was unveiled and placed on the stage, all eyes were fixed upon it 

The host announced. “The starting price for this next item is unusually low, at just a hundred dollars I’m sure you’re all wondering why our grand finale item is priced so affordably” 

This statement heightened the quests anticipation even further Steven, growing impatient, suggested to Marc it seems there’s nothing here tonight that catches our interest. Let’s go grab dinner 

Lucas, seated in the middle, joined in, saying, “I agree. Lets make our way out” 

Zaver chimed in turning to Marcus and asking. “What do you think, Marc?” 

Without uttering a word, Marcus stood up from his seat 

Comella picked up his coat, ready to follow him. 

But she had only taken two steps when the host finally revealed the final item of the night “The final item tonight is the only manuscript left behind by a famous cartoonist” 

Cornelia stopped in her tracks. She turned back to look at the auction stage, the light shone on the worn–out manuscript, it looked yellow and not well preserved. 

“President Hartley, you go ahead, fi catch up soon Comelia handed him his coat, then turned back to her orginal position. When the host announced the start of the bidding she raised her auction paddle. 

The host, “A hundred dollars once. A thousand dollars once” 

Every time Comelia raised her paddle, someone else would bid against her. The price quickly reached ten thousand dollars 

Comelia really wanted this manuscript, but her limit was fifty thousand dollars 

When the price reached twenty thousand she realized that her competitor was Hayden Ruff sitting in the VIP seat 

Cornelia had a vague feeling that he wasn’t really interested in the manuscript, he just didn’t want her to get it easily 

Comelia kept raising her paddle, and so did Hayden. The price was about to break fifty thousand. Comelia gritted her teeth and bid fifty–one thousand 

Hayden Ruffs man bid fifty–two thousand 

The host. “Fifty two thousand once 

Cornelia thought about the money in her bank account. She would have to pay her mortgage every month and she needed a large sum of money to renovate her house.
