Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 344

Chapter 344

This ruby ring was his New Year’s gift to Sandra.

Back then, she had a spat with him over Tania and some other stuff, seemed to have made up her mind to leave him and went to Velvetwood alone. After not seeing him for a long time, she returned to Sunburst City for the wedding of Seraphina and Leandro.

Eventually, they patched things up, and on Valentine’s Day, he gave her this ruby ring

She was really over the moon then, even though she always said she had no occasion to wear it, her eyes were full of joy.

In fact, she really had no opportunity to wear such a ring, and later, the ring was often left in the drawer of her vanity.

But now, the ring has appeared at the auction.

Seraphina held the ring box in her hand, showing the pure and clear ruby to the HD camera on the spot, her smile was elegant and composed.

Such a ring with large carats is a treasure in itself, plus it was brought out by Seraphina herself, so the atmosphere on the scene boiled up again.

*600,000!”

“650,000!”

“700,000!”

“800,000!”

People were bidding fiercely, and in a blink of an eye, the bidding had exceeded one million.

“Is this ring really worth that much?” Tania whispered, “It’s not just because Seraphina brought it out, and these people are blindly bidding, right?”

Bowen lit a cigarette without answering.

In fact, of course, it’s worth the price.

He originally bought this ring for 1.7 million, and the current bid is far from its actual value.

But soon, the bidding broke through 2 million.

After 2 million, there were obviously fewer bidders.

After 2.5 million, only two people were bidding.

“2.7 million!”

“Mr. Benjamin Morton bids 2.7 million.” The host announced, “Any higher bids?”

There was no bid for a while, and all eyes turned to where Benjamin was.

Bowen also glanced back.

Benjamin was sitting way back, obviously showing his low status in Sunburst City, but when Bowen saw the man clearly, he immediately recognized him.

He was a billionaire he had met, originally named Bob Morton, but after making his fortune he changed his name to Benjamin. Despite changing his name, he was still very vulgar, liked to show off his money and power. The woman next to him was heavily made up. Her already very exaggerated figure paired with a flashy low-cut evening dress made people uncomfortable to look at.

When she heard Benjamin’s bid, she couldn’t help but grin happily. In public, in front of everyone, she kept moving closer to Benjamin, her actions were very ambiguous.

“What kind of person is it?” Tania muttered quietly, “It’s disgusting.”

Bowen silently turned his head back, his gaze falling back on the stage.

“2.7 million for the first time!”

“2.7 million for the second time!”

“2.7 million for the third time!”

Just as the host was about to strike the hammer, Bowen suddenly raised his hand and said lightly, “3 million.”

‘Mr. Bowen bids 3 million! Can anyone bid higher than 3 million?” The host shouted excitedly.

Some people looked at Bowen, some at Benjamin, they were all expectant, seemingly wanting to see a good show.

Before Leandro could respond, Seraphina defended him. “Anyone who donates less than my husband tonight has no right to complain about him!”

Upon hearing this, Leandro instinctively turned to look at her.

Edgar clearly wasn’t convinced. “Well, how much did your husband donate then?”

Seraphina hooked her arm around Leandro’s and said, “You’ll find out in a bit, won’t you?”

Leandro gave a wan smile, and turned his head to see Bowen’s expression.

“Mr. Reynolds, you seem to have been quite busy recently?” Bowen asked.

“I’m doing alright,” Leandro answered nonchalantly.

Bowen chuckled. “Being busy is good, keeps you occupied.”

Seraphina glanced at him, then told Leandro, “I won’t defend you against Bowen’s words. After all, he’s the biggest donor tonight so far, having already donated 3.3

million!”

Hearing this, Leandro turned to Bowen, “Mr. Smith, you’re truly generous.”

Bowen’s lips still held a smile as he looked at Seraphina, “I’m waiting for your final auction item.”

“Don’t worry,” Seraphina replied with a smile, “I won’t disappoint you.”

Bowen shifted his gaze back to the stage, his eyes becoming more intense.

After seventeen rounds of auctioning, Seraphina once again tbok to the stage.

“Our final item tonight is a painting by the internationally renowned master, Malcom,” she said. “We all know of Master Malcom’s skill, and his works are among the most influential and valuable in the contemporary art market. In recent years, Mr. Malcom has been focusing on his research and hasn’t created any new works for five years. Tonight, we bring you the latest work by Master Malcom – Romance in Bloom.”

As the red curtain on the stage’s painting frame slowly fell, it revealed a lifelike portrait of a young girl named Farrah.
