My Billionaire Mom novel Chapter 385

The lady sneered. "How dare these amateurs try to compete with me?" she thought.

"They really are overconfident!" she added in her mind.

"Wow, the beautiful lady at table 3 bid 15 million! Amazing!" the auctioneer exclaimed. The bids were going through the roof. As a professional auctioneer, she had estimated that the jade bracelet would have only gone up to five or six million at most, but now it was much higher than she expected.

Everyone exchanged furtive looks with each other. Obviously, the noblewoman would end up with the bracelet.

There was no doubt about it!

"Is anyone bidding higher than 15 million? Anyone at all?" the auctioneer asked again, loudly.

Quinn's eyes narrowed at that. That amount of money was nothing to her. However, 15 million for a mere bracelet was too much.

"I could do a lot of other things with 15 million," she thought. And so, she decided to let the bracelet go.

The lady let out a cold chuckle and thought self-righteously, "Hmph, that's right! I'll raise the price through the roof if I have to! How dare you compete with me!"

"If you don't have the ability, why bother?" she continued in her mind.

"15 million, going once!" the auctioneer started up again.

As she announced that, she glanced around the room at everyone present. That should be the highest bid, no one seems to want to raise it any more. Well, what was she expecting?

"15 million, going twice!"

"15 million..."

"20 million!" a voice suddenly shouted.

The auctioneer was stunned. "What? There's someone bidding for more?" she thought in disbelief.

And that person had added 5 more million to the bid.

The audience present was also surprised by the shout because it came from Chuck, a young man. "Who is this man? Is he really that wealthy?" they thought.

The crowd started to chatter, speculations thrown left and right.

Quinn turned around and pinned a glare at Chuck. She was especially angry. What in the world was he doing?

Chuck, however, just smiled at her.

Quinn immediately turned away and ignored him, thinking, "Is he crazy? Twenty million dollars for a bracelet? Ridiculous!"

The lady from before was furious. She glared at Chuck as she thought, "How arrogant! Do you want to one-up me? I'll show you who's the boss!"

"30 million!" the lady yelled as she raised her sign.

The auctioneer went speechless at that. Did the bid just double in price just like that? It was too quick to follow!

"Am I dreaming? Is this an illusion?" she thought incredulously.

"40 million!" Chuck added calmly.

"50 million!!" the woman was screaming now, she was furious! "Who is this idiot? I'll burn him for this," she thought.

"How dull of you. 80 million!" Chuck spoke up, his tone flat.

Everyone there was shocked at Chuck's proposal.

What was happening? 80 million dollars for a bracelet? It wasn't even a priceless artifact!

The auctioneer was stunned into silence along with the audience. She had never been in such a situation before. A 5 million antique bidding for 80 million?

"That was simply too much for a mere bracelet!" she thought.

"To the young man at table number 9, are you absolutely certain?" the auctioneer asked weakly. She was about to have a faint from the shock.

"I'm sure," Chuck said calmly. 80 million dollars to him was just a number.

Betty blinked and smiled slightly at that. She had been working with Karen for a long while, so Chuck's situation right now did not seem like a big deal to her. Last time, Karen had even bought a mere oil painting for 100 million dollars.

Originally, the painting was only valued at about five or six million dollars, but Karen took a fancy to it and so, she bid the highest price for it.

The same was going for the Young Master now, it seemed. As long as he liked it, it would be fine. The price, to him, would merely just be plain numbers.

"Hey, who do you think you are? 80 million dollars? Do you even have that much money?" the lady mocked, she was extremely angry. She then thought to herself, "Who is this fellow? 80 million to buy a bracelet? Does he think he is as wealthy as me?"

Chuck glanced at her and replied, "If you truly are rich, then bid. Stop talking nonsense if you don't have the money to."

"Do you think you can compare yourself to me? Who do you think you are? I bid 100 million!" the lady was roaring now, raising her sign in rage.

Everyone went speechless at that. 100 million dollars? They shivered slightly at the mentioned figure and shared a thought, "This woman is insane! Does money mean nothing to her?"

The auctioneer was stunned. 100 million, My Goodness!

"How about that? Do you still want to one-up me? 100 million dollars is nothing to me, do you think a br*t like you can afford such a price?" she mocked in disdain.

It's impossible! Who does this br*t think he was? 100 million for a mere bracelet, this was not a game anyone could just play!

Chuck shrugged at that. He was ready to raise the bid further. However, Quinn had stood up at that instance, directing a fierce gaze at Chuck as she asked, "What are you doing?"
