Chapter 516
When she saw Sylvia and Franklin sitting side by side, the smile on her face became stiff and her eyes
fell on Sylvia involuntarily.
Sylvia just felt a bad eye on her. She looked up and saw Tiffany standing on the stage.
But soon, Tiffany had hidden negative emotions, with an elegant smile on her lips. "I am honored to be
the host of this charity auction today. Next, let's see who are the guests present."
"Franklin, President of Maskelyne Group and SouthStar Airlines. Mr. Davis, Chairman of Crown Techs
Group. Zak, the best actor. Clark Wilson, President of Wilson Group. Isaac, President of Carr Group.
Paul, President of Kennedy Group."
Tiffany was the young lady of the Evans family, so she attended such occasions many times.
Although it was the first time to be a host, but she was not timid.
She spoke elegantly and clearly.
Looked she was well done.
Next, she introduced the auction process, and then she began to invite Miss Manners to the stage to
display those items put up for auction.
The first one was a very old antique auctioned by Adriel Davis, Chairman of Crown Techs .
The collection value was very good.
So as soon as it was displayed, many business tycoons present scrambled for it.
Someone soon paid five million for it.
Next was a diamond necklace, which was also auctioned off very soon.
Then there was a vase. Many people bade on it, and finally Mrs. Howlett paid 6 million for it. She liked
this kind of beautiful porcelain.
Geoff glanced at Jasper, who was not far away, and realized that he and his wife couldn't get Jasper's
attention whatever they did.
He stared fixedly at the stage.
It seemed that she looked extremely serious.
Sylvia felt a little bit bored. But since all the money raised in this auction would be donated to the
disaster area, she needed to auction something off.
As the time passed, many lots were sold.
When drowsiness overwhelmed Sylvia, a set of handwritten manuscripts of a very famous author was
displayed.
She instantly came to life.
This kind of thing was no use for many people. People preferred to collect antiques, antique paintings,
jewelry, diamond, jade, etc.
The handwritten manuscript was not very interesting.
"The starting price of this handwritten manuscript is half a million."
Tiffany said elegantly, and as soon as her words left her mouth, Sylvia raised her card, "One million."
Everyone looked at her in shock. It was just a handwritten manuscript. In the eyes of these people, it
was just a worthless book.
But Sylvia raised the price by half a million dollars once she offered the price?
Was there any mistake?
"Honey, it this handwritten manuscript worth a lot?" Franklin knitted his brow.
And those who were not interested in this handwritten manuscript before became interested in it since
Master Keturah directly added 500, 000.
It seemed to be something good. The thing Master Keturah appreciated must be really good!
So Sylvia watched as the price of this handwritten manuscript, which hadn't received much attention
before, soon reaching three million.
Then it was four million, five million ...
Sylvia was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
'What's wrong with these people? What's the point of fighting with her for this book? It's just a book!'
She sighed and simply put down the card, "Impressed. I lose. These people are too rich."
Tiffany saw Sylvia give up and couldn't help but say with sarcasm, "Miss Maskelyne, this is a unique
handwritten manuscript. Are you sure you don't want it? Or is ... Mr. Maskelyne unwilling to pay for
you?"
Her implication was clear: Franklin doesn't spoil you that much. It's just a book. You want it, but Franklin
doesn't offer a price to buy it for you. Just a few million.
Sylvia wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, not going to pay attention to Tiffany.
She didn't bother to sink to Tiffany's level.
The guests couldn't help but start whispering because of Tiffany's words.
"It's not appropriate for the daughter of Evans family to speak ill of guests in this way, is it?"
"Whether Sylvia wants it has nothing to do with her."
Tiffany looked at the guests and instantly sobered up before realizing that she had spoken a bit
presumptuously.
A trace of grievance surfaced under her eyes. She looked like she was thinking for others but was
misunderstood instead. "Miss Andrews, I am too worried about you. It's not easy for you to fancy
something, but it's bought by someone else."
Sylvia lifted her eyes slightly without any extra expression.
Franklin, who was black-suited, spoke in a cold voice, "Miss Evans, just mind your own business."
The guests couldn't help but sigh for a while.
Tsk-
Tiffany was really embarrassed.
The way he protected his wife made the hearts of many women present pound.
Tiffany's carefully painted eyes traveled sadly and jealously between Franklin and Sylvia.
The handwritten manuscript was eventually auctioned off by a wealthy businessman.
Tiffany originally wanted to put her lot in the finale, because she thought it was worth a lot of money.
But at this moment ... She felt she had to use it to get back the spotlight.
She liked the feeling of standing on high and being looked up to by everyone.
Why should Sylvia steal the attention of everyone after she stole Franklin? novelbin
She smiled slightly, as if she wasn't upset by Franklin's words.
Acting still elegantly, she said "Ladies and gentlemen, the following lot is my private collection."
"Please have Miss Manners come on stage."
Hearing it, Miss Manners froze and hurriedly changed the tray in her hand to Tiffany's lot. 'What's the
problem with this woman? I thought the next one was a vase. How did it become her lot?'
But Miss Manners couldn't think much before rushing to the stage.
Sylvia wasn't interested in what Tiffany's lot was.
But as the guests around her let out a gasp, she frowned and looked at the stage, only to see the tray
right in the middle.
Inside a black velvet box, a ruby lay quietly.
The ruby was illuminated by the light, emitting a soft haze of light, appearing more and more crystal
clear.
A master gemologist on the scene couldn't help but exclaim, "This ruby is rare in the world, especially
because there is a leaf carved behind the ruby! The green leaf coupled with the red stone. It's a jewel
of rare top quality!"
Tiffany's face flashed with a hint of smugness, but she forced herself to play it cool and slowly said,
"This is a ruby that my Evans family has treasured for many years. It is worth a lot of money. The
starting price is five million."
This time she must steal the show at the auction.
It was just a ruby, and Grandpa always took it as a treasure.
