SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS novel Chapter 999

Chapter 999: Chapter 996: A HUGE WIN

When the auctioneer called once, twice and was just about to call for the third time and call it official, Diamond, who didn’t receive any mission suddenly called out, "A$2 million," starting a new bid war between herself and Zara who was determined to get her hands on the book.

Watching the bid war, both Wyatt and Nolan found the matter very interesting. They couldn’t help but tease her.

"You are not going to give in this time?"

"Tche! I don’t usually give in to my little sister. Why should I concede to her all the time?" and continued to increase the bidding price until it reached A$20 million.

"Babe, are you not doing this out of spite? This book doesn’t seem to be that special."

Seeing the money that was being wasted on a book of unknown origins, Nolan couldn’t help but be filled with worry.

Diamond patted his shoulder and confidently said, "my instincts are never wrong. I believe that the book contains something. As long as I manage to decipher it, my wins might be enormous and the cost will be repaid."

Seeing her confidence, the two decided to let her be. After all, this amount of money shouldn’t be anything much to her, right?

In the end, Zara was the one to concede and seeing her dropping out of the bidding war, Diamond sighed with relief, knowing that the book was not part of the mission at all.

With the book won over, more items popped up, and Diamond bided for a pearl necklace she planned to give to her mother. Unfortunately, she didn’t find anything for her father and sister this time.

As the auction progressed, it was finally time for the last bid, and it was something that she had personally put – the healing pills.

She was feeling quite excited. The thought of seeing how much the pills might be bought for, filled with a lot of anticipation.

And the same enthusiasm and anticipation filled everyone. After all, the last item is always the best. Who didn’t want to snag that item as long as they can afford it?

Unfortunately, they weren’t looking forward to the shock that was about to fall on them.

The hall was filled with excitement as everyone waited for this centerpiece.

Moments later, a trolley was pushed into the front and all the noise died down.

The auctioneer’s smile this time was big and everyone could tell that whatever was hiding beneath the cover was something special.

"As you all know, everything must always come to an end no matter how much we are reluctant to do so!" the lady started lightly, earning chuckles from the crowd before continuing gracefully, "What we have here is the last item we will be auctioning tonight and trust me, it is the kind that you all don’t want to miss!" speaking in a mysterious tone that made everyone eager to see what it was.

Seeing everyone’s eagerness and curiosity piqued, the lady smiled at everyone as she walked towards the trolley. And under everyone’s eyes, she removed the cover, only to reveal a small jade bottle which earned surprise gasps from the crowd.

"What is that?"

"Is this a joke?"

Diamond chuckled as she saw the surprise on everyone’s looks. Even the two were surprised as well.

"Babe, do you know what that is?"

Diamond looked at the two with a smug expression and patted her ample chest, and boastfully said, "That’s mine. What do you think?" her answer sending shocks to the two.

"Yours?"

And before she could answer, the lady in emerald started explaining.

"I know that all of you are wondering why this bottle. Are we just selling a jade bottle tonight or not? Is there something inside or not?" she said teasingly as she looked at the crowd, making them howl with anxiety of being teased and not knowing what was going on.

"I bet that most of you know about apothecary and alchemy!" with her lips curled upwards, the auctioneer suddenly said, making the crowd’s voices rise even further.

"Um. What we have here is a bottle of medicinal pills!" as she picked up the bottle with her hands, she further explained. "They are called healing pills. The pills can heal all sorts of ailments, as the name suggests. That is a physical illness and not a mental illness, to be precise!"

The auctioneer explained about the pills and the more she spoke, the more the crowd got agitated and eager to start their bids.

And when that was mentioned, several pairs of eyes fixated on Diamond.

She patted their shoulders as she said, "Don’t bother to bid. This lady will give you a pill each later. Use it for emergencies."

The guys already knew that Diamond was dabbling in the pill intermediary business, but never thought that she could get her hands on something that advanced.

Suddenly, Wyatt remembered how his family kept on urging him to ask Diamond about what she gave the old man of the Mainley family. Didn’t they say that she gave him something in a jade bottle?

Could it be that she casually gifted a healing pill?
