Chapter 56: AUCTION 3
Different prominent figures were present in the now tense room. Billionaires and multi-millionaires from all over the world were present. Others that couldn’t make it were watching the live broadcast from their devices at home, or in their offices.
Everyone wanted to be the highest bidder of what Frank called ’A Never Before Seen Diamond Collection."
"I want to also thank the brain behind these wonderful collections tonight. My very own daughter, Claudia Blackwood." Everyone clapped for Claudia. Elisa had never been more proud.
In all her years of being a slave for her father, Harlow has never been introduced to anyone as the brain behind anything. She always left unappreciated at the end of every auction. Frank would always tell her, "You can do better next year. I’m not impressed." While counting the millions she made him.
Most times, she makes him billions from her designs, but he never appreciates it.
"The first item to be auctioned tonight." Harlow turned to Richie and he nodded. While Claudia moved the other items back to the stage, Richie was yet to register his item, just as they planned.
"Ice Diamond Moon created by Eli & co, it was worn by Queen Iris herself, back in the early 80s. The diamond has been polished and refined and has now turned into a masterpiece.
"This item is going out for auction for 10million." He started. Someone in the crowd quickly raised their bid numbers.
"We have it for 10 million. 10 million going once, twice," Another person raised their bid numbers.
"Oh, 11 million. 11 million going once... twice... it’s sold." He stamped the gravel and the item was moved aside.
Harlow stood there as she watched the other items being auctioned away till it was down to her diamond fake collection. The ones Claudia will exchange with hers.
