Chapter 209 Flower Rain
Israci slightly furrowed his brow, “Ms. Mellor, there should always be an order to things. They were here first, you came after, why should. they let you go first?”
Roxie said displeasedly, “Mr. Israel, I just want them to make way for me, otherwise, I feel very uncomfortable!”
Israel furrowed his brows, pondered for a moment, and said coldly, “Enough, stop messing around! This is not your home, no one will indulge you! Besides, they are VIP Zone’s distinguished guests, they shouldn’t be bothered by you!”
Roxie was quite annoyed, “Mr. Israel, I want a ticket to the VIP Zone too!”
Israel shook his head, “Ms. Mellor, your Hashville Martial Arts Union. is not yet qualified to sit in the VIP Zone, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do to help!”
“Remember, no matter who it is, they must abide by the rules of the auction. Otherwise, the Barrett family will never let it go!”
“Hmph!” Roxie stomped her foot in anger, her eyes glaring menacingly at the backs of Robin and his two companions. “Why… why do they get to sit in the VIP Zone?”
“Ms. Mellor, let me remind you once again! Don’t cause trouble for your Hashville Martial Arts Union!” Israel snorted coldly, turned around and left, leaving two disciples of the Barrett family not far behind Robin.
Despite feeling uncomfortable. Roxie understood that the Hashville
Martial Arts Union was insignificant in front of the Barrett family.
Israel said. “Well, it just had to be this way: ”
Entered the second floor of Fantasy Hotel.
Robin, Cecilia, and Livia entered the VIP Zone and sat down.
Roxie also arrived at Zone 1 subsequently.
Beside her were Jacob. Miranda, and Crystal.
Sitting in Zone 1. I could perfectly see the three people from Robin in the VIP Zone.
Miranda’s gaze towards Robin was filled with anger and contempt. She muttered under her breath. “This fraud! To secure a place in Hallcester’s high society, he even wormed his way into Ms. Decker’s company!”
“When the auction was over. I had to remind Ms. Decker!”
Jacob nodded thoughtfully. “I really admire this guy! He was able to deceive such intelligent women as Karina and Cecilia…”
Crystal chuckled lightly. “Mr. Walsh, haven’t you ever thought that if smart people like you and Miranda can see that Robin is a fraud, wouldn’t Cecilia and Karina be able to see it too?”
“Exactly,” Jacob and Miranda nodded seriously, “Since we all knew Robin was a liar, why did we still hang out with him, letting him act like a big shot?”
Miranda suddenly stood up, pulling Crystal towards the VIP Zone.
“Miranda, what do you want to do?” Crystal asked softly, looking at the angry glint in Miranda’s eves.
Miranda gritted her teeth and said, “Ms. Decker is my idol, I want to expose Robin’s deceitful face in person!”
Crystal broke free from Miranda, “Did you see that? The VIP Zone is guarded by the offspring of the Barrett family. If you don’t want to be slapped to death by them, you’d better sit down and behave.”
“I reminded you, causing trouble at the Barrett family’s auction could very likely implicate your Brown family as well.”
“If you offended these archaic martial arts families, you wouldn’t even have a chance to beg for mercy.”
Jacob also persuaded, “Miranda, sit down. The auction is about to start. Don’t let Robin affect our mood. Wait a moment, I am also planning to bid for an engagement gift for you.”
Miranda finally calmed down, glaring fiercely at Robin in the VIP Zone before returning to her seat.
Crystal looked at Robin in the VIP Zone and sent a Line message: “Robin, it’s my birthday in three days. Get me a gift! Red lips emoji.”
Robin returned her a pig’s head.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Fantasy Hotel Auction.”
Jorge Barrett, the General Manager of the Barrett Auction House, announced that the auction had officially begun.
Next. Jorge introduced the process of the auction.
The Fantasy Hotel Auction was divided into two halves, with a half- hour break in the middle.
In the first half, they auctioned off some antiques and fashionable jewelry, among other luxury items, in an unconventional manner.
During the halftime break, you could arrange your own activities, or apply to the organizing committee for your own program.
For instance, some fashionable young people, after auctioning off luxury goods, liked to take advantage of such occasions to make public confessions of love, propose marriage, or take personal portraits, etc.
In the second half, they began to auction off some precious herbs and elixirs.
After briefly introducing the general process of the auction, Jorge moved on to the first half of the auction featuring jewelry and luxury goods.
The first item up for auction at the auction was this year’s latest fashion ring Blossom Rain.
This new product was from Valluynnian design master, Philip Ingram.
The hostess held the Blossom Rain, showcasing it under the dazzling stage lights.
Immediately attracted the attention of the female guests present.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the diamond ring being displayed on stage now had a starting bid of five million!”
As Jorge’s words faded, the scene was filled with relaxed chatter.
This new style of fashion diamond ring was not popular at the auction, it was just an appetizer.
Jacob listened to the auctioneer’s introduction of Blossom Rain, his eyes lighting up.
He looked at Miranda, saying expectantly, “Miranda. I’ve bought this Blossom Rain as a proposal gift for you! After buying it, I applied to
the committee to propose to you during the halftime break.”
Miranda was very displeased.
She thought the starting bid for this ring was only five million.
If I proposed to her with a ring of this quality, it would be very embarrassing!
She didn’t immediately respond to Jacob.
Jacob noticed her unhappiness and explained, “Miranda, this ring is called Blossom Rain, what a beautiful name! More importantly, it’s made by a master from a prestigious family.”
“I wanted to snatch the first item at tonight’s auction as an engagement ring. It was meaningful, irrelevant to the value of the diamond ring itself.”
“Thirty million!” Just as Jacob’s words fell, Robin from the VIP Zone suddenly shouted out the price of thirty million.
He wanted to buy it at such a price and give it directly to Crystal, to save her from constantly sending Line messages.
However, after Robin shouted out this price, the entire venue suddenly fell silent.
Next, everyone was looking for where the sound came from.
This ring, it was worth up to five or six million on the market.
Even if it was the latest model of this year, it wouldn’t be worth thirty million.
When everyone realized that the price was called out by the VIP Zone. no one spoke again.
The wealthy tycoon acted capriciously, others had no right
xmment
Upon learning that Robin was the one bidding. Miranda instantly pro up “Mr. Walsh, I want this ring, you must win it!”
Roxic, who was nearby, overheard their conversation, glanced at Miranda, and scoffed.
Miranda didn’t pay any attention to Rosie’s mockery All she was
thinking about at that moment was Blossom Rain. She was determined. to outdo Robin.
After hearing Robin quote a price of thirty million, Jacob no longer wanted to bid.
Bidding at this price, it’s a bit foolish!
Seeing Jacob hesitate. Miranda urged. “Jacob, raise your bid quickly, or Robin will snatch it away!”
“Blossom Rain. thirty million for one time!“:
“Thirty million, twice!”
Jacob hesitated, very reluctant!
He never imagined that the diamond ring, worth five to six million, would be skyrocketed to thirty million by Robin as soon as she opened her mouth.
If I had gone directly to the jewelry store, I could have bought several!
Was this guy sincere”
“Are you going to take the shot or not?” Miranda said irritably, “There’s no sincerity in your proposal at all!”
Jacob was fooled.
“Thirty million for the second time, is there anyone else who wants to raise the price..”
“If you don’t raise the sign again. I will never agree to marry you again!” Miranda said angrily.
“Alright then.” Jacob steeled himself and raised his sign, “Thirty–five million!”
The scene fell silent once again.
What happened tonight?
This appetizer started off so explosively.
A simple diamond ring, and someone actually stole it?
The originally calm opening suddenly became dramatically lively.
No sooner had Jacob’s words fallen than Robin blurted out, “Forty million!”
The scene was in an uproar!
Even Jorge looked incredulously towards the VIP Zone.
Cecilia slowly turned to Robin, then looked at Jacob in Zone 1, she understood.
If it were to be said that Robin’s first sign–raising was to take down Blossom Rain in one fell swoop.
This time of holding up the sign, it wasn’t the same.
He was preparing to have Jacob give some blood.
