BELLA's auction attracted rich merchants, collector, stars and fashion designers from all over the world.
Looking at Eva, Ivy was full of envy. How she wished she could have the chance to wear the clothes designed by Hanson.
"Sis Eva, how does it feel to shoot an advertisement in this dress?"
"That's great! I feel like I'm the queen of the dark night." Eva covered his mouth and chuckled with excitement, which made Ivy even more itchy.
She grabbed Essie's arm and said, "Sister in law, please ask my cousin to bid for this evening dress, okay? It's a masterpiece designed by Hanson. We can't let others take it away. "
Hearing her words, Zac turned around and glared at her. "Don't even think about it. How can I bid for Hanson's clothes?"
"Cousin, you've already been the winner. Do you need to be so petty-minded?" "Just bid it as a birthday gift for me. My birthday is coming," said Ivy, sticking out her tongue at him.
"No way!" The two words uttered by Zac were simple, rough and direct, completely shattered the soap bubbles that Ivy hoped for.
Ivy blinked her eyes, and a depressed mist rose from the bottom of her eyes. She only regretted that she had spent too much money and used up all her pocket money. There was only three million dollars left in her credit card to overdraw, or she might be able to fight it out.
She lowered her head and rolled her big black eyes two times. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. She leaned over slightly and whispered in Essie's ear, "Sister in law, let's discuss something. Can you lend me some money and let me bid for this evening dress?"
Essie was a little embarrassed. It was not a matter of a little money. There were many top billionaires from various countries present today. It was hard to predict how high the price would rise. Besides, Zac had expected that she would 'mess around', so he specially reminded her not to pay attention to it.
However, when she saw the pitiful look on Ivy's face, she would feel sorry if she didn't help.
"Ivy, I only have five million dollars at hand for the time being. You can take it first. If you want more, I can't help you." She threw up her hands.
"Thank you, sister in law. I know you are the best." Ivy hugged her gratefully. Five million plus her three million, it was eight million dollars in total. She should be able to fight for it.
However, her beautiful dream was soon shattered.
The starting price of this midnight blue star moon evening dress was one million dollars, and it was soon scrambled by all parties, raising to fifty million dollars.
"Sixty million."
"Seventy million."
"Eighty million."
Ivy was dumbfounded. In the end, she could only watch an American wealthy businessman bid for it at a shocking price of one hundred million dollars.
Looking at the expressionless and cold Zac who didn't help her at all, Ivy was so depressed that she wanted to cry.
In the last corner of the auction house, a pair of eyes had witnessed all this. When he saw an American buyer happily take away the evening dress, a strange sneer appeared at the corners of his mouth.
It was getting dark.
In the luxurious presidential suite of InterContinental Hotel. The rich American businessman sealed the evening dress with a vacuum bag and hung it in the closet. He would go back tomorrow.
He locked the door and went downstairs to drink.
The room was so quiet that even the needle fell on the carpet could be heard.
Outside the room, a waiter was slowly walking on the aisle with a dining car. He wore a plastic mask to prevent the surveillance camera from seeing his real face. When he reached the door, he stopped and opened it in three seconds.
It was as easy as entering his own home to enter a hotel room without any security measures. After entering the wardrobe, he opened the door and slid down the zipper of the vacuum bag. When he saw the beautiful evening dress inside, his eyes lit up with golden light. He reached out his hand to touch the smooth fabric, as excited as touching a woman's skin.
But it didn't take him too long. He had time to appreciate it after he went back. He quickly took off the evening dress. When he was about to leave, he suddenly felt sore and numb all over his body, and then collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
Only then did he realize that the evening dress was smeared with anesthetic.
The light on the ceiling was on. Surrounded by men in black, Zac came in.
"Reid, you can't escape this time." The men in black stepped forward and handcuffed him. Then they pulled him up and tied him to the chair. They injected him with a drug to ease the effect of anesthesia, so that he could speak.
Zac sat on the sofa, with a bloodthirsty cruelty on his handsome face. A chill came from his tall body, making the air in the room freeze.
Looking at him, Reid felt a little cold in his heart. The aura of Zac was like a bomb exploding, which was enough to frighten everyone around, making them tremble with fear.
