Not long after it was Hayden and Layla's birthday. Avery saw the promotion of the jewelry auction online.
This auction has a set of extremely pretty jewelry for children. Avery fell for it the moment she saw it.
She thought that Layla would like it, so she wanted to bid on it and give it to her daughter.
"Next up, we have a set of jewelry for children. This set was personally designed in the last century by the Queen of Kengo for her daughter. This set was made by the best craftsmen of that period. It has one hundred and eight diamonds in it. Whether you are bidding for your daughter or to modify it, it will be a great choice," The
auctioneer introduced the set of jewelry and announced the starting price.
The bidding started.
Just when Avery was about to bid on it, the man sitting next to her raised his paddle." Eight million."
Avery took a deep breath. It looked like the man was determined to get it because the starting price was five million dollars. He immediately added three more million.
Avery looked at the picture of the jewelry once more. She liked it a lot. She was sure that Layla would like it even more.
At that thought, she raised her paddle. A single raise of paddle meant tacitly adding five hundred thousand.
"Number nine is offering eight and a half million," The auctioneer immediately said," Is anything going to follow her?"
"My price is ten million," Avery corrected him.
The auctioneer was stunned. He immediately corrected himself, "Number nine is offering ten million. Does anyone follow?"
Number ten, who was sitting next to Avery, panicked. He glanced at Avery. Avery lowered her hat. She did not want to be seen by the public.
"Hold up, let me make a call." Number ten did not see Avery's face clearly. He did not dare to bid further, but he also did not want to give up, so he requested a pause.
The auction was paused for a while. Number ten went to make a call.
