"Two point five million." Keira kept raising the bid, and the increments were getting pretty hefty.
Chloe blinked, her face expressionless as she looked at the vase on the stage, waiting to see if anyone else would raise the bid.
It wasn't until Keira hit the three point five million mark that the auctioneer started to get ready to drop the hammer.
"Three point six million." Chloe bid again.
Keira, who was so close to victory, was cut off by Chloe. Her face instantly soured. She turned to Lance, her face showing unbearable hurt and disappointment. She looked like she was being bullied by Chloe.
"That's too much! This Chloe is clearly doing this on purpose, just to mess with Keira!"
"She's having a blast snatching things from Keira!"
"Whatever Keira likes, she wants! What a despicable person!"
A few women who were clearly trying to flatter Keira were discussing disapprovingly. To the other people listening, it seemed like they had a point.
But there were also whispers saying, "But Chloe was the one who started the bidding."
"You're so naive! Chloe and Lance have been dating for so long, how could she not know that Lance's father is interested in these antiques? She must have known that Keira would be interested in this item, that's why she made the first move, get it?"
"Ah? So that's how it is! I thought! She's really cunning?!"
"You're just realizing this? She's really sneaky!"
The discussions weren't even trying to be subtle, almost as if they were meant to tarnish Chloe's reputation!
Jeanette gritted her teeth in anger, "These people, they're too much!"
