Chapter 624 - 647: Scouring
"One million one hundred and ten!"
"One million one hundred and twelve!"
"One million one hundred and fifteen!"
"..."
"One million four hundred thousand!"
The atmosphere at the auction was quite enthusiastic, everyone was eagerly bidding, making the originally lackluster charity auction full of energy.
Emily Jenkins’ diamond sold for quite a sum, eventually reaching a price of one million four hundred thousand. This price wasn’t too high nor too low, but it stole the spotlight for the entire evening. The main attraction was that even though this diamond had undergone processing, no one had yet made it into jewelry, meaning it hadn’t been used by anyone. This made it even more appealing to some wealthy bidders, as many believed that if a diamond had been used, it would carry the previous owner’s bad luck.
That’s why, despite Jessica Johnson’s diamond necklace and earrings being quite valuable, they couldn’t garner much interest. Although someone eventually purchased them, they sold for just the starting bid, nowhere near the excitement generated by Emily Jenkins’ diamond.
This left Jessica Smith feeling embarrassed, increasing her resentment towards Emily Jenkins. Emily’s clever tactic had embarrassed her, which was something she couldn’t tolerate. She secretly vowed that she would find a chance to thoroughly humiliate Emily Jenkins.
There was only one charity auction tonight, with the main event following the next day. Once the charity auction ended, everyone was free to mingle again.
"Where’s Big Bro Johnson?" Emily Lopez started searching as soon as she left the auction venue.
James Brown replied, "Who knows where he ran off to? Probably off having fun with his girlfriend."
