After that, Mason slightly raised his brows and gave a faint smile.
Janet shivered for a moment. Why do I feel that something is wrong?
After leaving the Lowry Residence, she could see Lara’s car parked outside the yard.
She broke into a jog all the way there and hopped into the car.
Looking at how gorgeously dressed she was, Lara winked and teased, “Why are we going all the way to Markovia just to buy a birthday gift? Janet, what are you thinking?”
Upon hearing her words, Janet gently quirked up her pink lips.
With her eyes lowered, she switched on her phone and took a look at the ring necklace again. “I can’t help it since he likes this.”
While sitting on the passenger seat, Lara teased again, “Janet, you really love your husband.” That limited edition auction item would cost at least tens of millions.
Janet slightly lifted her head and did not deny Lara’s claims.
“However, are you really going to reveal yourself on the night of your man’s birthday party?” One of them is the boss of Markovia and the other is the boss of Sandfort, which makes them a big-time character in Europe and Asia respectively. There’s no doubt that Markovia and Sandfort would be trending on the internet that night.
“Let’s see!” Janet leaned backward and slightly raised her eyebrow. It’s not necessary for me to decide whether to reveal myself or not.
In the Lowry Residence’s living room, Mason turned away after the figure gradually disappeared from his sight. That sly little girl. It’s now my turn to prank her.
“It’s time to go.” The man opened his thin lips slightly.
The gigglish voice that slowly emerged from his throat was deep and hoarse, but it was also sexy with traces of joy in it at the same time.
At the Pinnacle Auction in Markovia, the auction venue was a luxurious hall that combined both Eastern and Western design. It was obvious from the decor that it was a large-scale auction.
As Janet sat on the second floor, she scanned the situation below the stage and said to the girl in front of her, “Are we guaranteed to get the ring necklace in the auction?”
Lara, who was seated opposite Janet, nodded her head. “I’ve already informed them. If there aren’t any unforeseen circumstances, it will definitely be ours.”
Janet nodded with the J’Adore mask on her face while her delicate eyes perused the items at the venue.
“The Pinnacle Auction officially starts now.”
The host started calling for people to bid and the first few items were all successfully sold. In the end, the auction prices were in the range of tens of millions.
In the meantime, Janet crossed her legs as though she was watching a show. When she heard the host mentioning the ring necklace, she suddenly squinted her cold eyes, as if she was determined to get it.
Below the stage, the host explained, “The next auction item is a diamond ring necklace from South Africa, which is made for couples. Its name is ‘Trace of Love’. The starting price is 10 million.”
Janet slightly raised her eyebrow as she allowed Lara to yell an amount. “20 million.”
“100 million.”
While listening to the bid, Janet was dumbfounded for a moment.
Lara was also surprised. I’ve already inquired about today’s event. I thought no one’s bidding for ‘Trace of Love’ today, so why is someone snatching it away from us?
Without hesitation, Janet continued bidding. “200 million.”
“300 million.”
“400 million.”
“500 million!”
At that moment, the auction fell into a tense atmosphere.
Everyone looked toward the second floor at the same time and saw a person exiting the private room with a mask on her face.
With a cold voice, Janet instantly responded, “One billion.”
Upon hearing her bid, the man sitting in another private room chuckled. He lazily leaned against his seat and proceeded to slowly bid for the necklace, but he deepened his voice. “Two billion.”
It caused an uproar throughout the hall once again.
Everyone initially thought that 100 or 200 million was the limit, but the price had now reached two billion. “Which two lunatics raised the price of ‘Trace of Love’ to two billion?”
