Based on the rich experiences of the auctioneer, when he heard of the reaction of the audience, this Angel will be able to sell for a good price tonight.
He laughed and said, “We'll start the auction for the Angel at ten million! At increments of one million”
There weren't any murmurs. The participants tonight were all wealthy and ten million wasn't a big deal as long as they liked it.
But to Emily, this was a disaster.
A person who can pay ten million was definitely not a regular rich person.
There was no escape when you fall into the hands of these people, it was impossible.
What could she do?
“Eleven Million!” Someone shouts immediately.
Emily couldn't tell who the bidder was.
The auction was designed in such a way to protect the identity of the buyer and not leak their information.
Everyone had a number sign and when raised, it would represent the bidder's identity.
“Twelve million! ls anyone going to outbid this?”
The auctioneer was visibly excited to see someone raise the sign and immediately shouted, “Thirteen million! Anymore?
Fourteen million! Fifteen million!”
Emily leaned on the crystal wall and looked hopelessly at the shiny signs.
Each time someone raised the bid, the person would raise their sign as if he was announcing to everyone that she was his for
the night!
She didn't know who that person was but as long as he raised the sign, he must be able to afford the price.
“Eighteen million, nineteen million, twenty ..”
“Fifty million!”
The entire floor went silent.
Fifty million!
A woman can be worth fifty million!
Everyone looked towards the sign but can’t see clearly the bidder's face. But to those who were nearer, they knew who he was.
Fifty million, this crazy fool!
“Fifty million, going once’’ It was obvious that this price has exceeded the auctioneer's expectations.
He continued, “Fifty million, is there anyone else? Fifty million twice!”
Everyone's attention fell on Emily's face, clear as water, she was indeed beautiful.
But, was she really worth fifty million?
This woman can only be played with for a few days since her identity was undetermined.
She must be dumped after being played otherwise she may cause more trouble.
Of course, it was possible to keep her by the side if she was willing to.
But, fifty million for a girl who you don’t know can be played for how long.
At the hesitation of everyone, the auctioneer’s hammer fell, “Fifty million, sold!”
Emily closed her eyes and waited for her strength to return.
But, her soft and weak fingers told her that it was impossible that she regained her strength tonight.
She didn't know who spent fifty million to bid for her.
Thereafter, Emily was brought away and sent to a room and placed on a bed.
The room was very dimly lit in yellow lighting.
She was sent in for a while before the door opened.
Clearly, someone came in but from her angle, she can't see anyone.
A man walked to her side and picked up a glass of red wine which was previously prepared and finished it all at once.
He was excited, really excited, excited beyond comparison!
The feeling of finding something that had been lost was indescribable.
In the end, he placed down the glass and then walk to the bed.
