"One."
"Two."
"Three,"
"Alright, three seconds are up. You've seen enough, I'm taking it back." Freddie actually hadn't seen enough yet. He wanted to know how the transitions were handled, but Cheyenne took it back before he could see clearly. It left him feeling somewhat anxious.
Reluctantly, Freddie mustered up the courage and leaned towards Cheyenne, begging, "Cheyenne, please sell me this jade pendant. Consider it a favor for me."
"You know, that jade figurine was gone because you didn't sell it to me. Such a pity."
Cheyenne avoided his attempt to pull her closer. She turned her body and tucked the jade pendant into her embrace, as if afraid of being robbed. She pouted her rosy lips. "No, old man, why don't you just carve one yourself? I spent two days on this pendant," she replied. "I won't sell it."
"What about 300 million?" Freddie immediately offered a price of 300 million. If it were an ordinary person, they would have succumbed to the temptation and agreed.
However, Cheyenne's willpower was unusually strong. She looked at him with her dark and bright eyes and shook her head.
"No, I won't sell it."
Deep down, she felt that the jade pendant was somehow important to her. Though she couldn't put it into words exactly how or why.
"Hey, you mischievous girl. Why do you flaunt something you won't sell in front of me? You know I cherish treasures like my life. It'll make me uncomfortable for days to come."
The last time he couldn't buy something, he felt uneasy for a whole week. This time, he estimated it would take at least half a month to recover from the regret of missing out on this treasure.
Cheyenne smiled sweetly and quietly, her captivating smile contrasting beautifully with her round eyes. She lowered her head to look at the jade pendant in her hands. In her eyes, a green dot appeared and began spinning, slowly blossoming into a lotus flower.
The auction officially began. Cheyenne, accompanied by the three members of Wind Hall, miraculously secured front-row seats thanks to the care of Master Freddie. As soon as she sat down, she noticed that the President, Mr. Abel Harrison, was sitting next to her.
He wore a well-fitted black suit and held a cane, emanating a domineering aura. Under the dim lights, his frost-white temples shimmered.
Next to him sat a middle-aged woman with a beautiful appearance. She looked to be around forty-six or forty-seven, with a slightly plump figure and fair skin. Wearing a low-cut crimson evening gown, she adorned a black pearl necklace that exuded an extraordinary luxury.
While she was observing the woman, the woman noticed her as well. She glanced hurriedly, without any expression. However, when she saw Yvonne, a calm smile appeared on her face, and she took the initiative to greet her.
The content of her words, however, made people feel uneasy.
"Yvonne, long time no see. I didn't expect to see you here…"
When the woman glanced at Yvonne's attire, she couldn't help but mock.
