Chapter 710
On the other hand, Trevor believed that the huge rock might have something special in it if Frank thought so highly of it."Mr. Lawrence, the stalactite..." he asked tentatively just in case.
He knew for a fact that Frank had several such stalactites in his own mansion in Skywater Bay. Even if those stalactites were notas old as this one, there was no reason this particular one delighted Frank so much.
"We must have it!" Frank's reply was simple and determined.
Naturally, Sif could see that nearby.
"Yes, sir!" Trevor had no reason to refuse, seeing how determined Frank was.In fact, he would bankrupt himself buying that rock just because Frank said so!
Meanwhile, Jenny was smiling as she introduced, "My father's friend happened to find this milk-white stalactite while exploring acave. It's a rare thousand-year-old stone, though we've never looked inside. The starting bid is ten million, and subsequent bidsmust be over a million.”
Though Jenny's introduction was simple, the bidders knew that the milk-white stalactite was more than what it seemed, and theair in the auction hall became charged right then.
"20 million!"
"25 million!"
"30 million!"

It was obvious everyone was ready to take a gamble, and even the auctioneer was brave enough to set the starting bid at ahundred million.
And as a businessman, Trevor could certainly read the signs.
Seeing that there were less bidders and that the timing was right, he stood up, snapping bluntly as he raised his paddle, "200million!"
"200 million?!"
The hall was left silent at Trevor's bid, and they watched him, some shaking heads and some sighing, while others laughed incontempt.
It was a gamble, but there was no telling what the milk-white stalactite contained—it could well be just an insignificant rock!
If that happened, one would have paid through the nose for nothing, and this was especially the case with that 200 million dollarprice tag!
Some bigwigs were shaking their heads, considering Trevor mad for that uncalculated gamble.
Naturally, no one raised his bid.

If they could have him owe him a favor instead of fighting for it, why not?Hence, silence ensued in the hall.

As every other bidder kept quiet, Jenny pressed, "Calling 200 mil once!"Calling 200 mil twice!"Just as Jenny was about to say it thrice, Sif slowly raised her paddle beside Frank.
