Chapter 246 She’s Provoking
Even though it said that anyone could raise the price, she still felt being targeted.
Therefore, she didn’t speak again.
There were still people shouting.
“1. 03 million.”
“1. 05 million.”
“1. 2 million.”
…
The price was soaring, and finally went straight to a high price of 7. 5 million, which had long exceeded the original price of the necklace.
The necklace was beautifully made but the sapphires were of average quality.
The price of 7. 5 million was called by Sue.
After she called the bidding, no one raised the price.
The auction host shouted, “Miss Stewart has raised her bid to 7. 5 million, are there any more bids? Good, 7. 5 million once … 7. 5 million twice …”
The host stretched out the tail end of his voice and was shouting.
And offstage Vivian somehow always felt that the necklace had an invisible force pulling her.
Hesitating for a moment, Vivian, who hadn’t raised her bid for a long time, raised her bidding card, “7…”
“10 million!”
Before she could even shout out, Morris beside her had already raised the price to ten million.
Vivian’s eyebrows knitted, and her fair and delicate face was written with displeasure, “What do you want with the necklace?”
The man gave a leisurely sideways glance, and was to say “for you”, but in the end, he swallowed it back.
Perhaps it was because at that moment, Vivian was pushing him towards other women, making Morris upset, and he immediately changed his words, “I like it.”
Vivian: …
“Good, Mr. Morris of the Eonothem Group shouts for ten million, is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?” The host’s passion was high, and the atmosphere of the auction site gradually came alive.
Because of for the first few auction items, Morris did not open his mouth.
But if he asked for something he wanted, he would get it at any cost.
Vivian was exasperated by Morris, she came up to him, “Don’t fight for a necklace.”
“Here, it’s the auction!”
The man’s eyelids lifted slightly, and a light smile permeated his handsome features.
“Gee, I know. But I don’t have much money, so if you raise the price any more, I won’t be able to afford it.” Vivian held the bidding sign in front of her face and lowered her voice to speak to Morris.
“You might consider begging me, and maybe I’ll say yes.”
His words were domineering, as if in an instant he had reverted to the cold, haughty and reserved him he had been when she first met him.
“How should I beg you?”
Vivian was confused, then looked at him in a serious manner, her tone flat, “Then I beg you, don’t bit for it?” The quizzical tone was actually somehow cute.
“That’s it?”
“So what do you want?”
Vivian was talking as the host on stage was shouting out another bid, “Ten million twice, any more bids?”
She instantly raised her card, “Another 100!”
“Pfft … hahahahaha …”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Is this a provocation to Mr. Morris?”
“This woman is really emboldened by the fact that Madame Cheal likes her.”
“There’s nothing wrong with adding a hundred, this auction item doesn’t say a minimum raise.”
…
“Eleven million.”
After Vivian finished raising the price, Morris added one million.
Hearing him shout, Vivian gasped and kicked at Morris, coming over, “I’m poor!”
The man was in pain, but pretended to be clam, “It is okay, I’ll have the finance transfer you the 100 million you saved me as soon as possible, so it’s enough.”
“That’s money, too.”
“It is charity work, more is better.” Morris smirked, and Vivian’s face turned livid with anger.
The two whispered, to the point where they actually made Issac and Yoona, who were sitting in the back row, as well as Sue, who was beside Morris, look at them with flaming eyes and jealousy.
“Thirteen million!”
Sue suddenly shouted the price.
Vivian suddenly sat up straight and looked at Sue, bristling, thinking that it was as hard as hell to auction off this necklace.
Even Yara beside her tugged Vivian’s wrist and whispered, “Stop raising the price, it’s not a top quality sapphire with a rare texture, much less a blue diamond with a superior texture, it’s just an ordinary sapphire, this price is really not worth it.”
“I know.”
Vivian nodded, but she was just invariably crazy about wanting it.
“Fourteen million.”
Yoona also raised her bid.
The atmosphere gradually went to a climax and the chatter was boisterous.
“It’s just an average quality sapphire, a million would have been nice, but it actually made it to over ten million.”
“Women, well, they like the trinkets.”
“If my woman was bidding on such a thing, I’d beat her to death.”
“Isn’t that Yoona’s sister? They don’t seem to get along.”
“It is obvious, otherwise why would Vivian agree to be Madame Cheal’s god granddaughter but not return to the Lee family?”
“The Lee family is a well-known charitable enterprise in L City, so it seems that Phu Yen is no good.”
…
Every time Yoona and Vivian appeared, they became the topic on the spot.
Simply because they were both ‘bound’ to the same element, and that was Morris.
Vivian raised her bidding card, “A hundred more!”
“Hahahaha, she’s being provocative.”
“How rude she is.”
“It is reasonable. I do think she’s funny.”
“They were fighting, I think.”
…
The crowd whispered, but then they heard Yoona say, “Vivian, just stop bidding, I meant to auction this necklace for you.”
Her voice was not loud, but could be heard clearly by a number of people.
The wedding party incident had caused a great negative impact on Yoona, and she was now going to great lengths to try to redeem her reputation.
Vivian listened to Yoona’s hypocritical and pretentious words, even if she would end up giving her the necklace, she didn’t want it.
“Thank you , Miss Lee, but it’s natural to do my best in this matter of doing public service.”
Yoona was dissatisfied with Vivian’s words in her heart, but she still smiled warmly, “You are right, in that case, I’ll bid on the next exhibit.”
Vivian smiled without saying anything, cursing Yoona bitch in her heart!
What Yoona said impressed the crowd.
“Miss Lee is indeed gentle in nature, as expected of a lady of a rich family.”
“It’s quite impressive that she did not fight for anything expect for love.”
“It’s just for show.”
“Don’t you notice that Vivian doesn’t even like her?”
…
“Fourteen and a half million.”
Sue was still calling for bids.
Sue, as the eldest daughter of the Stewart Group, had strength and entered the company early to work with her father, never lacking money in her hands.
As long as she had her eye on something, she would take it.
Except for Morris.
Vivian knew that Sue was fighting her, but she picked up the sign and shouted, “Twenty million!”
Suddenly the price was raised, and all eyes in the venue swished over.
