Love At The Right Price

Chapter 50

After the two of them took their seats, the auctioneer appeared on the stage.

“Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your participation in this event-“.

“Let me know if you see anything you like. I’ll buy it for you since it’s for charity purposes anyway!” Tamara generously offered.

I have nothing but money! If I don’t spend them this month, the dividend will be paid again next month. Ah

-it’s tough to spend money.

“There’s no need. It’s enough to have you by my side. You should see if you like anything,” Frank whispered softly.

The man’s voice was low and sonorous, and it was even more attractive when coupled with the dim lights. The way Frank stared at her was as though he was admiring a precious treasure.

Tamara felt her heart start to pound faster and louder, so much so that she couldn’t hear what the auctioneer on the stage said.

She tilted her face in a fluster, but her mind was miles away. Upon seeing how embarrassed she was, Frank curled up his lips, then he sat up straight and listened attentively to the auctioneer’s introduction.

Items after items were auctioned off. Tamara remained seated, feeling bored and even a little exhausted.

“Coming up next, we have a pink diamond from Alder up for auction. I believe that everyone here knows how rare a pink diamond is, so I won’t elaborate further. However, please be informed that this pink diamond is crystal clear with a perfect shape. It is a 3 carat diamond, so it’s a rare find indeed! The starting bid is 3 million, and the minimum bid increment is 100 thousand.”

Upon hearing that, Tamara perked up. She straightened and raised an eyebrow, looking interested as she mumbled, “A pink diamond?” NôvelDrama.Org content.

Upon hearing her voice, Frank unhesitatingly raised his bid card. “3.5 million.”

“You like that?” She turned to him and asked in a strange tone. Normally only girls would like pink diamonds, no? Why is he suddenly interested in it?

“You seem to like it, so I’m going to buy it for you,” he casually replied with a shake of his head, as if the amount he was about to splurge was 300 instead of 3 million.

“But that’s more than a month of your salary! You don’t have to do this…” Tamara felt speechless. She only spent a couple million to keep Frank with her, but he was going to buy her a diamond that would cost more than what he earned.

“Six million!” A clear female voice rang out, interrupting the conversation between Tamara and Frank.

Tamara looked behind her and met Shirley’s eyes.

A complacent smile was playing by the woman’s lips as she looked in their direction.

Is she going to go against me head-on? Tamara shook her head, finding it amusing.

“Let’s buy it since we like it. I’ll pay for it.”

“Seven million.” Frank nodded. He continued to raise his bid card and nonchalantly named his bid. At the same time, he was rather curious about what exactly Tamara wanted to do.

It was obvious that she had wanted him to stop bidding for the diamond, but the moment Shirley decided to bid for the diamond as well, Tamara started showing a deeper interest in it. Based on his recent understanding toward her, she was not one who would make rash decisions on a whim.

As pink diamond was indeed a rare find, other people started bidding for it as well. The price soared and then gradually eased with only a few bidders who increased the bid by 100 thousand each time.

Upon seeing how eager Shirley was to go against Tamara till the very end, Tamara lifted her chin at Frank. “Carry on. Eighteen million.”

“Eighteen million? The market value of the pink diamond is around 15 or 16 million. Miss, you are going to make a loss like this.” A kind person beside Tamara chose to remind her.

However, Tamara waved her hand like a rich woman who showed no concern about her spending.
