Beauty's Tear was a masterpiece designed by the famous designer Yara and was considered atreasure in the jewelry design industry.
That piece of jewelry caused a tremendous uproar when it first appeared because it was an exquisiteand opulent purple diamond necklace that was Yara's life's work.
Cedric had spent almost thirty years trying to find this necklace but to no avail.
The reason he was looking for the necklace was straightforward. Yara was his fiancée, and he wantedto find her masterpiece to keep it by his side so that it would remind him of her.
Yara was a talented designer. However, fate was cruel to her. The day before the wedding, she passedaway in a car accident just as she was about to wed Cedric.
Cedric never married because of that.
In the past, Bailey did not understand Cedric's feelings for Yara.
She had thought that many outstanding women would make excellent wives for Cedric, so she did notunderstand why he would choose to live in solitude.
However, she finally understood him after falling head over heels for Artemis. Some people wereunwilling to accommodate and settle for the next best.
Cedric was madly in love with Yara. Even if she had passed away, she still lived in Cedric's heart.
His heart had no room for another woman, and he was unwilling to accept anyone else other than Yara,so he chose to live the rest of his life in solitary while holding on to past memories.
“Let's go and take a look on the sixth floor.” novelbin
The children exchanged glances and covered their pockets.
Does she want to buy something at the auction? She did not bring money. If she really wants someexpensive thing in the auction, would we have to pay for her?
Bailey saw their coordinated actions and was so perplexed that she laughed.
She raised her hand and slapped the back of their heads.
“What's the point of me giving birth to you guys? You guys can live with your own money, then.”
The auction venue on the sixth floor was livelier than the banquet hall.
Although Cosmetico's boss, Sofie, managed to bring over a few big shots from the political andbusiness arenas, the auction was still lively and packed.
Bailey found a spot to sit and waited patiently for the auction to start.
A few people were chatting in front of her, and their conversation caught her attention.
“Did you guys find out about Beauty's Tear being auctioned here tonight through special channels?”
“Of course, or I wouldn't have come here. Beauty's Tear has disappeared for thirty years and is knownas a treasure in the jewelry industry, so of course it arouses people's interests. Although I don't havemuch money to bid for it, this trip is still worth it if I can get a glimpse of Beauty's Tear.”
“Speaking of which, Beauty's Tear had been missing for many years. Even Yara's fiancé, Cedric, couldnot find any trace of it. Would the one auctioned later tonight be a fake one?”
“That can't be. The auction is organized by Auro Pawnshop, the leading enterprise in Hallsbay's pawnindustry. They won't use a counterfeit to ruin their reputation.”
“Don't worry. This won't happen. The upper management of the association has invited Vespera toappraise it. As you guys know, she has a keen eye in evaluating the authenticity of any antique.”
“Whoa, for real? Vespera, the expert antique appraiser, is really going to be here?”
“I heard it from Auro Pawnshop's executives. The auction staff also confirmed it, so it must be true.”
“Oh my god. Is Vespera, the mysterious appraiser, really going to be here? I really admire her. Youguys admire Adhira, Anonymous, Morpheus, and Snowflake, but I'm different. I admire Vespera, as I'mreally impressed by her skills.”
Hearing their conversation, Bailey could not help but arch her brow and smile.
Vespera is here in Hallsbay? Why don't I know?
“Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend
Auro Pawnshop's auction event. Your continued support has brought our company to its present gloryand success. We will continue to uphold the philosophy of openness, honesty, and truthfulness toprovide you with genuine and authentic treasures for your collections.”
A deep and magnetic voice sounded in every corner of the venue.
One of the executives of Auro Pawnshop made an opening speech. A round of enthusiastic applausefollowed it. The auction then started.
Initially, there were few bids as people were not interested in these items.
It was evident everyone was waiting for the grand finale.
After auctioning three antiques, the atmosphere was still rather dull.
The management was worried that the auction items before the finale item would not be able to fetchhigh prices, so they changed their strategy and instructed the emcee to bring out the finale item rightaway.
The emcee immediately announced loudly through the microphone, “Two days ago, a ladycommissioned us to help her auction her item. After we obtained it, we found a few appraisers toauthenticate it. In the end, they came to the same conclusion. The item is Yara's masterpiece thatdisappeared thirty years ago. It's Beauty's Tear, the purple diamond necklace.”
With that, the crowd became excited. Everyone was urging the emcee to bring out the necklace so theycould behold it.
The next second, two female emcees pushed a cart from behind the stage.
