Climbing Up to The Top Summit novel Chapter 148

"Dear, it seems like you don't have to leave with this liar tonight. Since he doesn’t know the CEO of the York Enterprise, then he’s useless. Why don't I bring you along tomorrow to meet my classmate-Yvonne? That may be much more productive." Harvey York said to Mandy Zimmer.

"Really? How nice!" Mandy appeared overjoyed. Yvonne Xavier was the secretary of the CEO of the York Enterprise. If they could get in touch with her, it would be certainly much easier to get to know any superiors there.

Jake Surrey's facial expression worsened slightly. But Cecilia Zachary was shaking her head slightly, indicating to him that he clearly had a Freudian slip. H e would not be able to turn the situation around no matter what he wanted to say.

At that time, the auction house soon became packed. I n the end, there were around a thousand people. It could be said that the Mountain Top Auction was indeed quite popular.

After a short while, the auction began.

The first few lots were some classic watches and jewelries. Although they were quite rare, the crowd was not really enthralled.

Those things ranged from a few thousand dollars to a

few hundred thousand dollars when the deal was made. Although those things were indeed quite expensive, it was far from shocking for the crowd.

But when the next lot was being presented, all of the women present could not help but scream. Their eyes brightened.

That was an extremely large diamond ring. At first glance, it was at least a thirteen carat diamond ring. Besides, it was crystal clear, and it was exceptional in terms of its cut and transparency.

A diamond like that was indeed one in a million. At that moment, it was placed on the auction block as i s.

"Oh gosh! Is it the legendary pigeon egg diamond? It’s rumored that it was the star diamond which was mined in South Africa in that year."

"I heard that this diamond was cut by a European diamond master, and it was inlaid into a proposal ring. The name of the diamond ring is called Forever Mine!"

"Does it mean that the diamond will be everlasting?"

It never occurred to them that a thing like that would appear in such a place.

At that moment, Mandy gasped softly and almost subconsciously. She looked cute as she was astonished by the scene before her.

It could only be said that a diamond ring like that was indeed quite valuable. It was an extremely rare treasure which could only come by chance for literally everyone.

Having said that, Jake did not even give Harvey the chance to say anything. Suddenly, he raised his hand up. He then stood up and looked around, feeling smug.

"I'll pay 7.6 million dollars for that!"

"7.6 million dollars! This gentleman came on strong and decided to pay for 7.6 million dollars directly. If nobody else is going to bid for it, this Forever Mine will belong to this gentleman!" The auctioneer was a beauty with an alluring figure. She opened her red lips slightly and smiled faintly. 1

"Wow! Mr. Surrey is indeed generous. He looked so calm when he decided to pay 7.6 million dollars for you, Mandy. If there's a man who treats me like this, I’ll marry him directly without any hesitation!" Sitting beside him, Cecilia exaggerated the facts. After that, she glanced at Harvey in contempt. She then continued, "He's nothing like someone else. After that somebody becomes the live-in son-in-law, he couldn’t even buy you anything. That's fine, but he even asks for 15 dollars from you every day. What a worthless piece of trash!" i

A roar of laughter was heard.

The people who sat in the second and third rows behind them could not help but burst into laughter. At a time like this, there were still some people who asked for 15 dollars from their wives every day as their pocket money. That was indeed quite preposterous!

However, Harvey frowned slightly. 'Is Cecilia out of her mind? It’s fine if she wants to sing praises for Jake. But why did she have to talk about me?’

Thinking of that, Harvey said coldly, "Cecilia, since you’re deeply touched, why don't you marry Mr. Surrey yourself? Previously, you claimed that you wanted to get to know my boss. Now, there's a much wealthier big shot here if compared to my boss. Why don't you grab that chance? Don’t blame me for not reminding you."
