Chapter 650
The middle-aged man’s expression was one of utter ernbarrassment.
The bidding for Raw Gemstone #2 began shortly after, and Barbara raised her placard as its auctioneer. 7.5 million.”
The price of 7.5 million dollars in the first go shocked everyone present. After all, Raw Gemstone #6 did not contain a big gem, so everyone wondered whether Raw Gemstone #2 would contain anything. However, this was the only raw gemstone left for them to bid on.
The middle-aged man did not dare to raise his placard anymore. He had spent 15 million dollars for a piece of rock, but it only contained such a tiny piece of gem. Thus, Mrs. Boucher won Raw Gemstone #2 with a total bidding of 12.5 million dollars.
Maisie found that Barbara seemed to have given the raw gemstone to Mrs. Boucher on purpose.
Barbara could offer a starting bid of 7.5 million, which indicates that she does possess the money, but she didn’t go against Mrs. Boucher till the very end. But I can’t tell whether she has other motives or she didn’t dare to bet on that raw gemstone.
Raw Gemstone #2 was cut straight from the middle backstage. No gem could be seen at first, but a huge piece of gem appeared when they went for a second
cut, not to mention the deep emerald gem that appeared during the third cut!
“It contains a genuine gem!” Everyone in the audience was shocked. Someone even doubled Mrs. Boucher’s bid, wanting to buy the gemstone from her.
Mrs. Boucher increased her bid and managed to purchase the raw gemstone for 42.5 million dollars, and Barbara, who had chosen to auction the raw gemstone, became one of the profilers.
Barbara looked at Maisie. “You’re the one who picked this raw gemstone for me. It seems that I was not wrong to choose to believe in you.”
Maisie smiled. “You wouldn’t believe in me if you were not sure about the gemstone.”
Maisie witnessed a gem-hunting event in person today. Although she did not participate in the auction, she got to witness a family feud live. The middle aged man had tried to leave the scene with the woman halfway through the auction but was stopped by Mrs. Boucher’s bodyguard.
