Immediately after the staff member left, the auctioneer went up on stage.
"I'm very sorry. This set has been booked by a very important customer. It has been pulled out of the auction," said the auctioneer. The related images on the screen behind him were taken down, and pictures of the next auction item appeared on the screen.
"My boss is the important customer that the auctioneer mentioned. Even if you don’t want to give up, you have to." Number ten had finished his mission, so he was relaxed. "No matter how rich you are, you cannot compete with my boss' connections.
"Oh? Who is your boss?" Avery was a little
resentful, but since the organizer had already said that they were not auctioning it off, she could do nothing about it.
Except, she wanted to know who the person who bought the jewelry was.
"I'm sure you're familiar with Tate Industries, right?" number ten said proudly. "My boss is the boss of Tate Industries."
"Natalie Jennings?" Avery asked.
"See, I knew my boss is famous! Even if you are rich, are you as rich as her?
Furthermore, my boss doesn't care if you are rich or not, because her connections can take her anywhere!"
"Anywhere?" Avery was stunned. "Are you talking about Elliot Foster?" "It looks like you know quite a lot!" Number ten was surprised. It was only a pity that her hat was too low, and he could only see her lips.
"Elliot helped your boss to acquire this set of jewelry?" Avery asked.
"Yes! If you’re unhappy about it, take it up with the organizers! Furthermore, since you're so rich, go get a designer to custommake a set of jewelry. Why fight with my boss?" said number ten smugly as he got up, and left.
Avery also left the venue. She had gone there specifically for that set of jewelry. It was a pity that Natalie had snatched it through improper means.
It was an auction. That meant that whoever bid the highest could own it. Natalie and Elliot had violated the principles of the auction.
