The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298 

Next up, the auction had a few more items that were just unbelievable. 

Half an hour later, the main event finally rolled in.

Arabella had just finished a game, and as she looked up, she heard Jack say, “Arabella, the cinnamomum tenuis is up! Hurry, come check it out!” His eyes were glued to the scantily clad hostess. 

She really had a killer figure! 

The hostess held what looked like ginseng, placed in an expensive wooden box, and showed it off to everyone in front of the camera. 

[Starting bid is three million!] 

Jack knew Arabella wanted this treasure, and quickly made several bids of three million each. 

The other people in the boxes were shocked by the boldness of buyer No.3. He had just bid twelve million right off the bat. It seemed that this No.3 had some serious juice and was determined to get this item! 

Arabella gave Jack a glance as if to say, “It’s not even your money, and you’re this generous?” 

“Hey boss, how did I do? I’ve knocked out a lot of competitors for you in one fell swoop!” Jack said enthusiastically. 

The other boxes knew that the cinnamomum tenuis was a valuable item and could easily fetch three hundred million on the market, so they started to bid as well. [Box No.6 bids eighteen million.] 

[Box No.14 bids twenty–one million.). 

[Box No.18 bids twenty–four million.] 

[Box No.23 bids twenty–seven million.] 

Seeing everyone bidding fiercely, Arabella coldly commanded, “Outbid them.” 

“Yes!” Jack/kept raising the bid until his hand got sore, then he quickly switched to the other hand. 

Inside box No.1. 

Romeo saw the other buyers chasing desperately. But he completely disregarded them and said casually, “Raise until they give up.” 

“Yes.” Carl also kept increasing the bid. 

Soon, the price on the big screen had exceeded two hundred million! 

“Arabella, should we keep going?” Jack knew that Arabella’s wallet couldn’t handle any more bidding! 

But Arabella decisively said, “Keep going.” 

Jack had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep raising. 

[Box No.3 bids three hundred and thirty million.] 

[Box No.1 bids three hundred and sixty million.] 

[Box No.3 bids three hundred and ninety million.] 

[Box No.1 bids four hundred million.] 

The whole room was left with No.1 and No.3 battling it out, and from the looks of it, neither side had any intention of backing down! 

“Mr. McMillian, buyer No.3 seems determined to get this item.” Carl said while bidding, “Should we talk to the boss of the Mafia Wolf and ask them to back down?” 

Back down? 

He needed others to back down for something he wanted? 

“No price limit.” Romeo ordered coldly.
