Starting with A Divorce Chapter 571
Chapter 571 Competing Over the Dressing Box
Daniel looked at Aaden and asked, ’A big cheese will attend the party?”
Aaden nodded. “Yes, Mr. Hume. It’s a director of a multinational consortium. I heard he’s here with a
program of 320 million dors.”
Daniel frowned slightly. “Why didn’t you tell me before?”
“I didn’t know you cared about it,’ Aaden said hesitantly.
In fact, Daniel had been idling around in the past few months, leaving the business to Aaden, such as
the charity auction.
He might not havee here if he hadn’t watched the news.
It was the fourth item. The host got excited. “The next one is a vase donated by the Hume family. It’s
also an antique from an old dynasty. The starting price is 1.6 million dors, and each bid will add one
million dors.”
It was the most valuable item so far. Everyone present knew how valuable it was.
It could be regarded as a national treasure. It had been lost abroad. One might make a contribution to
the nation if getting the vase back.
In just five minutes, the price had risen to 20 million dors. Daniel picked up the red wine ss with
satisfaction and took a sip, eager to see Ainsley’s reaction.
Unfortunately, she showed no interest in it.
The vase was bid at the price of 32 million dors. It was a reasonable price for such a priceless vase.
A piece of porcin was bid at the price of more than 128 million dors. Manuel’s donation was being
sold.
As an internationally famous painter, Ram Dn used to nt and paint flowers every day before his
death.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
At thest moment of his life, he finally finished hisst work, which was sold by his family at a high
price. No one knew who the buyer was. It turned out it was Manuel who bought the painting.
The value of the painting would increase as time went by.
However, Manuel donated it to the charity auction, showing his broadmindedness.
Daniel was disdainful of people’s praise of Manuel. He knew well how offensive it was.
“It’s Ram Dn’sst masterpiece. The starting price is ten million dors, and the bidding price is 1.6
million dors at a time.”
Manuel raised the price to 20 million dors. Obviously, he wanted to buy it back, which meant that he
just wanted to donate money to charity.
Daniel raised his number, trying to give Manuel a hard time.
Most people took it as an odd action.
As everybody knew, Manuel was his rival, so howe he spent so much money on a painting?
Manuel was still raising his number calmly. In just ten minutes, the price of the painting had reached 32
million dors.
The value of art could hardly be measured by money, but the current price was beyond the starting
price of 20 million dors.
Everyone watched theirpetition silently. When the price reached ten million dors, Aaden gave
Daniel a meaningful look.
Daniel immediately stopped bidding. It was foolish of him to spend so much money in a fit of pique.
When Manuel raised his number again, Daniel nced at Ainsley. Suddenly, something unexpected
happened.
The auction was held on the first floor, and the staff typically stayed on the second floor.
At this moment, the curtain near the stage was pulled open, followed by a number.
The host was the first to notice it. “Number 103 bids 50 million dors!”
There were gasps of surprise. Few people knew who this “big shot” was. They didn’t expect that it was
Manuel’s painting instead of Ainsley’s hairpin that the “big shot” was interested in.
With a triumphant smile, Manuel ran his fingers through Ainsley’s hair under Daniel’s warning gaze.
Nobody wouldpete with the “big shot”, and neither would Manuel.
“The next one is an antique makeup box.”
The guidingdy served a gold-rimmed wood makeup box. Its picture instantly showed up on the
screen. It was exquisitely designed, and its hollow pattern was particrly elegant.
It was from an old dynasty, and Mrs. Easton left it to Ainsley before she passed away.
How could she be willing to donate such precious stuff if she were not Ainsley?
As the box was opened, there were two hairpins, a hair essory, as well as two pairs of earrings.
Judged from the exquisite texture, it must be a top-ss craft.
“The starting price of the makeup box and jewelry is 20 million dors, and one bidding is 1.6 million
dors.”
As everyone knew, it was worth more than 20 million dors. All the madams and youngdies present
were eager to get it.
Its price soon raised to 50 million dors, which was the highest bidding price so far.
Just as ady was about to win the bid, Manuel raised his number. Obviously, he intended to buy the
box and give it to Ainsley as a gift. It might make the headlines tomorrow.
Daniel also knew what Manuel was trying to do, but he wouldn’t let him get his way.
Ignoring Aaden’s dissuasion, he raised his number again.
Thepetition between Daniel and Manuel seemed toe to an end. Everyone nced at Ainsley
tacitly because she was the cause of it.
There was a heated discussion among the audience. At this moment, another person raised his
number surprisingly.
Kaliyah watched Cason’s action in shock as the host said a price that she thought was exorbitantly
high.
“What… what are you doing?”
Cason and Kaliyah also attended the auction. With Kaliyah by his side, Cason could only sit there and
stare at the familiar woman beside Manuel.
He was as confused as Daniel.
“Howe Ainsleye here? I remember she’s locked in a vi by Daniel,” he thought.
Daniel was as surprised as him. Obviously, Daniel didn’t know what had happened.
Cason had heard of and seen the makeup box before.
It was more like apetition for Ainsley than for the box today.
As he raised the number, the people around him began to gossip.
“Mr. Baldry is good to his wife, isn’t he? He must buy the box for Mrs. Baldry.”
“No wonder he hasn’t bid for anything yet. It turns out he’s waiting for the box.”
“They’re quite a happy couple. But I can’t understand why he wants to give his ex-wife’s box to his
current wife. If I were Mrs. Baldry, I would definitely feel disgusted.”
Amid the discussion, Kaliyah lowered her head. She knew Cason didn’t bid for the box for her.
Like Daniel and Manuel, Cason just managed to buy it and then return it to Ainsley.
