My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 941

Chapter 941 The Red Jade

In the end, the bid for the book was won by one of the tycoons.

As for the item Hera contributed to the auction, she had initially left it for last due to how valuable it was.

However, she currently felt the urge to put herself back in the limelight.

She had always enjoyed being the center of attention and relished the feeling of being worshiped.

It was one thing for Ashlyn to steal her man, but to steal her limelight, too, was unacceptable.

Consequently, she responded to Lucas' reprimand with a smile and didn't show signs of being upset.

Maintaining an elegant countenance, she declared, “Ladies and gentlemen, the next item on the block is from my personal collection. And now, I'll have my assistant bring it up on stage.”

The moment she finished, the assistant quickly switched the tray she was originally carrying to Hera's item. What's going on with her? Aren't we supposed to auction the vase first? Why did she suddenly change it to her item?

Despite the questions in her mind, the assistant hurried onto the stage with Hera's item.

Ashlyn had no interest in what it was until she heard a loud gasp from the crowd.

When she looked up with a frown, she was greeted by the sight of a black velvet box that held within it a piece of red jade.

Underneath the illumination of the light, the red jade glistened with a soft sheen that demonstrated its impeccable clarity.

A jewelry expert within the crowd exclaimed, “What an extremely rare piece of red jade, especially with a leaf carved into the back of it! The contrasting features of the green leaf and red stone make this a highly valuable treasure!”

Despite gloating for a split second, Hera forced herself to maintain her composure as she explained, “This red jade has been in the Chapman family's collection for many years and is a priceless piece. The bid starts at... five million.”

Hera was persistent in stealing the limelight at the auction.

This is nothing but a lousy piece of jade. Yet Grandpa treats it like a treasure all the time.

Meanwhile, the sight of the red jade elicited a drastic change in Sisley's expression.

What is Hera doing? That red jade belongs to Alice. How can she put it out on auction without anyone's permission? If Bob finds out about this, he'll skin both of us alive.
