With all the guests finally seated, the first round of the auction began with contemporary works of art and literature.
As Genevieve wasn't interested in either of those, she chose not to raise her bidder card.
Because Timothy's father had a thing for paintings, he bought one for him at a high price.
The theme for the second round of the auction was ceramics. After going through a few vases, the next item was an earring box made out of pink-colored glass.
The design of the box looked incredibly exquisite with the grapevine pattern made out of gold lines, especially when viewed under the spotlight.
Genevieve raised her bidder card the moment the auctioneer mentioned the starting bid.
A few other guests also raised their bidder cards after her, and the price soon skyrocketed to thirty million.
Eventually, the bid got so high that most guests stopped raising their bidder cards. Right when Genevieve thought the item was hers for sure, another guest sitting in the corner continued to raise the bid.
When the price went past sixty million and the guest was still going at it, Genevieve decided to give up on the item.
“Why are you stopping now? Your husband has enough money to last a few generations! Don't tell me you're trying to save him some money?” Timothy asked curiously.
“It's just an earring box anyway. I don't really like it all that much, so that person can have it instead,” she replied.
The third round of the auction featured jade artifacts.
Genevieve wasn't all that interested in jade, but one of the items being auctioned caught her attention. It was a pendant made out of high-quality white jade which felt really cool to the touch. On top of that, it was made by an insanely famous craftsman.
Everyone began raising their bidder card as soon as the auctioneer announced the starting bid.
After raising her bidder card twenty times, Genevieve successfully purchased the jade pendant for a hundred and eighty million.
“You refuse to pay sixty million for the earring box, but you'd go as far as a hundred and eighty million for this jade pendant? I bet Armand would die from happiness when he finds out,” Timothy teased her.
