Female Novel
Chapter 947
The bidding price now far exceeded the value of the necklace itself.
The scene was once a bit chaotic. Everyone looked at Mr. Warner and then looked at Mr. Henderson.
The heavy smell of smoke filled the air everywhere, and it was clear that the two big moneymakers had
brought their private grudges from outside into the charity party.
At the time Luther quoted a price of 200 million.
She felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Two hundred million for a necklace? Crazy!
Although the money was ultimately donated to the orphanage, they still had other ways to donate.
There was no need to start a war at the charitable party!
"Three hundred million."
Justin didn't even blink, and his face was expressionless when he just raised his offer.
This brought the room to an even greater boil, with the whispers almost overriding the voice of the host.
The host's glasses were falling off and he repeatedly asked Justin to confirm, "Mr. Henderson, is it true
that you're bidding 300 million?"
Raising the price by 100 million at a time, was this some money burning game of the rich?
Now everyone turned their full attention to Luther.
This was no longer an auction, but a contest between top tycoons.
They were all looking forward to seeing what price Mr. Warner would offer.
Under the anxious and excited eyes of the whole audience…
Luther's thin lips were slightly open, and he was just about to say the word "five".
Suddenly, Joyce lunged forward and poked Luther hard with a chopstick in his arm.
Luther therefore couldn't lift the card, and the "five" he wanted to say turned into a muffled grunt. "Ah!"
Joyce gnashed her teeth behind him and chanted, "What do you need that old necklace for? It's sick."
Knowing it was Joyce behind him, Luther turned around and whispered.
"An old necklace? Didn't you want it?" It was obvious that she had looked at it a few more times. How
come it became just an old necklace now? In her eyes, were antiques just old stuff?
Joyce gritted her teeth and her delicate face tangled up with it, "Who said I wanted it?"
The host saw that Luther did not raise his card.
He asked, "Three hundred million for the first time, any more bids?"
"Three hundred million for the second time."
Luther put his hands together, "Well, I will just let him have it."
He threw the number card on the table. Since Joyce did not want that, what would he need it for? He
could just let Justin have it if that was what he wanted. It simply did not matter.novelbin
He won't have to fight with Justin.
Besides, a mere necklace was not worth this price.
He prepared a diamond set worth 500 million, and he had not had the chance to give it to her yet.
"Three hundred million for the third time! Deal!"
The host hammered it home.
The blue diamond necklace was sold for 300 million.
"Congratulations to Mr. Henderson for acquiring this antique necklace, once worn by Duchess Winster
in the Middle Ages, offered by the Epristian ambassador, Mrs. Samira, for 300 million. This huge sum
of money will all be donated to orphanages around the world. Let's give a round of applause to Mr.
Henderson, for his dedication to charity."
The audience applauded almost non-stop.
Naturally, there was some gossips.
"Strange, why isn't Mr. Warner following?"
"I thought Mr. Warner would just shout 500 million, and then the good show would be more exciting."
"It surprised me that in the end, it’s Mr. Henderson who won."
"Maybe Mr. Warner didn't think the necklace was worth the price."
"It’s never about its value. It's a matter of winning, OK?"
"It's rare that Mr. Warner doesn't care about winning."
