Wake Up Leave The Liar novel Chapter 374

Chapter 352

Meanwhile.

Tanya: “Mom, here’s the invitation you wanted.”

“Great, thank Chase for me,” Vivian said, putting the invitation into her bag. Then she asked, “Are you coming with us to the auction house tomorrow, or is Chase picking you up?”

Tanya replied, “Neither Chase nor I are going tomorrow.”

Vivian paused, her hand on her bag’s zipper, “Alright.”

On the night of the auction, Ashley and her aunt, Mandy, went to the auction house together.

Upon arriving at the venue and checking in, Ashley spotted Vivian and Yonnie walking ahead of her.

Vivian and Yonnie saw them too.

Upon seeing Ashley, Vivian’s brow subtly furrowed.

The starting bids for this auction’s items were incredibly high, so only top celebrities and the wealthiest individuals from around the world had been

invited.

Regular affluent families couldn’t even get their hands on an invitation.

If it weren’t for Chase, she wouldn’t have been able to get an invitation herself.

But Ashley…

Still, Tim is really riding high these days. Given Ashley’s relationship with Tim, it probably wasn’t hard for him to get her an invitation to this auction

event.

At that thought, Vivian and Yonnie looked away.

Since Chase had arranged Vivian and Yonnie’s invitations, their seats were quite close to the front.

Ashley and Mandy’s seats were right next to theirs.

Just as Ashley and Mandy settled into their seats, Ethan also entered the venue.

Seeing Ashley there was a bit of a surprise.

However, he quickly spotted Vivian sitting next to her..

He let out an ‘Uh.’ This… this was some next-level drama!

After settling into his reserved seat with his female companion, he immediately shot a message to Chase.

[Ashley’s here for the diamond auction too, and… she’s sitting right next to your future mother-in-law!]

Chase’s reply came in pretty fast,

[Oh.]

And that was that.

He seemed completely unfazed by it.

Ethan:”……”

He glanced over at Ashley and Vivian again, and it was then that Ashley finally noticed him too.

Seeing him look over, she shifted her gaze away, completely expressionless.

Vivian, however, smiled politely and greeted Ethan:”Ethan.”

Ethan offered an awkward smile back:”Aunt Holden…”

After exchanging greetings, Ethan quickly settled back into his seat.

Just then, Jeffery arrived too.

He spotted Ashley and Vivian almost immediately, as his seat was right next to Mandy’s.

He couldn’t be bothered to greet Ashley, and she, as usual, ignored him completely.

However, Jeffery, just like Ethan, did say hello to Vivian.

Vivian smiled and nodded.

Soon after, the auction began.

Besides the top-tier diamond, this auction, of course, featured other items.

However, the prices were all quite steep, with starting bids in the tens of millions.

Ashley wasn’t particularly interested in the other items; her sole focus was that premium diamond.

So, she didn’t bid on anything else.

Vivian didn’t bid on other items either.

Finally, at the end of the auction, the most anticipated part of the event arrived.

When the diamond appeared before the crowd, countless diamond enthusiasts in the room gasped in awe.

Even though Ashley wasn’t particularly fond of diamonds, she was still blown away by the sheer quality and brilliance of the rare treasures displayed in

the showcase.

Vivian might have seen and even owned countless top-tier jewelry pieces over the years.

But a diamond of this caliber? This was genuinely her first time.

As a hardcore diamond enthusiast, she was so awestruck by the diamond in front of her that she was speechless.

From the moment the diamond was unveiled, her eyes were practically glued to it.

Amidst everyone’s gasps and awe, the host announced the starting bid.

Four hundred million.

The moment the host’s voice trailed off, numerous people in the audience raised their paddles.

Ashley was one of them.

Vivian was sitting right next to her, so she naturally saw Ashley raise her paddle.

Even though Vivian spotted Ashley shortly after entering the auction house, she figured Ashley was just there, like her, to soak up the atmosphere. After all, rare diamonds are hard to come by, and even if you couldn’t afford one, just witnessing such a priceless treasure was a treat in itself.

But then…

When she saw Ashley raise her paddle, a flicker of shock crossed Vivian’s eyes, and her attention snapped away from the diamond on display.

Just then, Ashley spoke up: Five hundred million.”
