Chapter 1044
Genevieve did not feel threatened at all. She kept lifting her paddle, and she finally got what she wanted.
She even bought a gemstone piece for Charlotte.
Charlotte whispered to Genevieve, “I've been watching Eurydice the entire time. You've snatched away her aunt's items a few times, but her aunt never seemed irked. I'd say she's not here for the paintings but the gilt-bronze idol that will be presented second to last.”
“Hm, I like that too.” Genevieve crossed her leg. “I'll have to take my time savoring the disappointed looks on Eurydice and her aunt later on.”
Charlotte passed her a cup of fruit tea and giggled. “Genevieve, you're such a meanie!”
Ten minutes later, the second to last item was brought to the stage. Right as the auctioneer finished speaking, numerous people raised their paddles.
As usual, Genevieve waited for Karolina to lift her paddle before raising hers.
A while later, the price of the idol was far too high, and many people gave up. Still, Genevieve continued competing against Karolina with an increment of two million per raise.
Soon, the idol's price was over a hundred and fifty million.
Before coming to the auction, Karolina had found out that she would be able to get the idol with a hundred and twenty million at most if no one else expressed any interest in it. Afraid that something might go wrong, Karolina even prepared an extra three hundred million. Nevertheless, it seemed like the sixty-sixth patron came much more prepared than she was.
Eurydice glanced in Genevieve's direction one more time before murmuring to Karolina, “She's clearly targeting us and has prepared well for it. Forget it.”
Karolina was afraid that she might end up stepping into the other patron's trap, so after a moment of rumination, she decided to give up on the idol.
