Chapter 623 - 646: This Face is Really Slapped Loudly
At this moment, the auctioneer said: "This diamond is not only valuable, but it also comes with a story. Earlier, two ladies asked many people to bear witness, with one claiming she would donate double what the other donated, and this diamond is exactly what one of the ladies donated."
Earlier, when Jessica Smith wanted to call for witnesses, some people had already noticed her and Emily Jenkins. Now, hearing the auctioneer speak in such a manner, they looked around, and Jessica Smith smugly glanced around the room, fearing others might not recognize her.
The auctioneer pointed towards Jessica Smith and said: "The original owner of the item I’m auctioning is right over there."
Jessica Smith raised her hands, wearing a brilliant smile, gently waving and greeting the surrounding people with an elegant demeanor, as she was no stranger to attending large gatherings. She wasn’t shy at all, even under the gaze of the crowd. Instead of being timid, she became even more proud, concealing her pride to appear more profound and layered.
The crowd’s gazes indeed turned towards her. For most people here, diamonds are not considered extraordinary, but since the auctioneer is promoting it so prominently, it obviously means this diamond is special. Anyone who can donate a diamond at such a charity auction is worth getting to know.
"Hello, everyone. My husband and I have always been committed to charity. So this time, I am donating my pair of diamond earrings. This pair of diamond earrings was specially customized for me by my husband in SN Country. I like them very much, but for the sake of charity, no matter how much I love them, I want to do something for the poor children, so I donate this pair of diamond earrings. I hope everyone can extend their generous hands to help those poor kids."
Despite the insincerity of these words, everyone understood the nature of such statements, but they symbolically applauded anyway for donating something so valuable.
This made Jessica Smith even more smug, feeling a thrilling sense of being in the spotlight tonight, especially in this place full of wealthy people, bringing an immense sense of achievement.
The auctioneer then said: "This lady’s actions indeed demand our respect, with a genuine intent to do good. When another lady donated an eleven-carat diamond, she also stated that she would donate double, so now we are auctioning this eleven-carat diamond."
"An eleven-carat diamond!" a woman exclaimed excitedly.
The auctioneer raised the diamond and said: "It’s indeed real. Besides our charity auction, there’s another large auction, so we even have a special senior appraiser here. This diamond is absolutely real, with excellent quality, an appraisal certificate has already been issued, and everyone can take a look." An appraisal certificate immediately appeared on the big screen behind him.
"Husband, I want that diamond!"
