    Chapter 821 Adamant To Get Her


    Neera wasn’t particrly fond of it.


    Since herpany was in the jewelry business and she had a hand in designing some of their pieces,


    this piece used to attract her attention.


    Avery abruptly pressed the bell on the table before she could speak her mind.


    Neera, taken aback, turned to face him. She asked, “Are you interested in this, Mr. Cox?”


    Avery grinned and avoided answering her question directly. He replied, “Sort of.”


    The staff at the auction house had raised the card for him as he spoke.


    This piece of jewelry had a starting price of 50 million dors, which was one of the highest starting


    prices among the items on disy tonight.


    He was the first to make a bid. It immediately caused quite a stir.


    A lot of people looked up. The bidder who made such a generous offer piqued their interest.


    This jewelry was well–known and extremely rare. Few people wanted it other than Avery.


    Unexpectedly, when the auctioneer asked if anyone else wanted to bid, someone raised the price.


    That person made a significant bid and promptly increased the price by 50 million dors.


    “100 million dors!”


    This exorbitant price sparked an uproar in the auction hall.


    Neera was astounded. She’d been to a few auctions and seen big bids before, but raising the price by


    50 million all at once was quite daring.


    She couldn’t help but feel dismayed every time she witnessed such a wanton waste of wealth.


    Again fixing her gaze on Avery, she asked, “Are you going to increase the bid?”


    Avery drank a sip of tea. His posture was rxed and casual. He stated, “I always get what I want.”


    He said it casually, but his words were surprisingly authoritative.


    Neera giggled to herself, said nothing and continued to observe in silence.


    It escaped her notice that after Avery said that, his gaze seemed to go through the rim of the andnd


    on her. His deep eyes seemed determined.

    Jean, who was seated in the opposite box seat, caught every moment. The sharpness and iciness of


    his features increased.


    The auction continued.


    It appeared that the anonymous bidderpeting with Avery wanted badly to win this jewelry. The


    price had risen to 200 million.


    Impatient, Avery directly raised another 100 million.


    “300 million! Would anyone like to bid higher?” The auctioneer’s voice was cracking; he was clearly


    excited.


    Everyone was buzzing.


    300 million! That’s a lot of money!


    The mysterious bidder, who waspeting with Avery, did not respond further.


    At longst, the auctioneer brought down the gavel, shouting, “Empress Tear! 300 million! Sold!”


    Neera apuded and praised Avery.

    “Congrattions! Your wealth and bravery go hand in hand. Are you nning to give this as a


    present?


    In response, Avery nodded and said, “Kind of.”


    Neera had not given this much thought. She went on to watch the auction.


    It was thrilling. She had to wait a long time, but eventually she saw the painting Chad had his eyes on.


    It was a water lily painting.


    Neera burst outughing at the sight.


    “Indeed, Aunt Adriana will enjoy it,” she stated. “Uncle Chad is very thoughtful.”


    There was a high starting bid for this painting. The two were equally determined to win it at auction and


    eventually paid 370 million for the painting.


    Others kept looking in the direction of their box seat.


    They had every reason to be intrigued.


    In just two hours, the mysterious bidder in that box seat spent nearly 700 million. The bidder has a


    lot of money.


    Everyone could tell the bidder was someone with a unique identity. They were fascinated and


    couldn’t help but admire them.


    Following that, neither of them made any further bids.


    Finally, an auction house employee entered the room and respectfully extended an invitation.


    “Mr. Cox and Ms. Garcia, the host, would like to extend an invitation to you both to tonight’s cocktail


    party.”


    “Would you like to go?” Avery politely asked Neera.


    “It’s gettingte; I won’t go,” Neera said, shaking her head. “I need to get home to see my kids.”


    Avery nodded. He did not insist and declined the invitation.


    The pair then left to pay the bill. Avery drove Neera home after they received the items.
