Chapter 382


    X Quest’s speech won a round of apuse from the crowd.


    Everyone was looking at her with admiration and approval in their eyes.


    Especially Reba Robin, who was literally on the verge of bing X’s fan. She could not


    take her eyes off X. She had never imagined that X would be so knowledgeable about this


    field at such a young age.


    Not only did she clearly exin the origin of the silver censer, she even managed to recall the sad,


    beautiful love story behind it.


    X calmly sat down in the midst of the apuse. Her eyesnded on Mary Sullivan as nothing had


    happened.


    Mary was about to explode with anger at this moment so she totally did not notice X was looking


    at her. She was just staring at the silver censer on the auction stage with a gloomy dark face.


    Her intention of passing the question to X was to make a fool out of her. Little did she know, not


    only did she fail to embarrass X in front of everyone but she had also thrusted her into the


    limelight.


    And it was in front of so many dignitaries! What was going on with X? Why was she so into


    antiques all of a sudden?


    Did she not use to be uninterested in antiques at all? Why was she turning into apletely


    different person now?


    Mary felt like her face was being pped by X once again, and her face was almost smashed


    and mushy.


    When she thought of this, the rage in her heart began to rise and blood red color seared through


    her face.


    The change in Mary’s expression was perfectly captured by X. She was in a really good mood


    just by looking at her.


    Nevertheless, X did not bother to continue tangling with X on an asion like this. Thus, she


    returned her concentration onto the antique on the stage.


    Reba red at Mary coldly and she did not pay any more attention to her afterwards.


    “The girl over there, not only is she as gorgeous as a flower, but she’s also very insightful indeed.


    She’s definitely endowed with beauty and talent!”


    “Isn’t that so? Yeah, she’s pretty but most importantly she does know a lot at such a young age…”


    All thedies and gentlemen in the hall were absolutely generous with theirpliments for X.


    X felt quite sheepish inside to receive so many praises from the crowd.


    These words were like honey to X but arsenic to Mary. Each sentence seemed to carry poison


    with it, causing her eardrums hidden deep inside to sting and ache like crazy upon falling into her


    ears.


    Apart from that, Mary’s hands had clenched tightly into fists under the table.


    “The answer from this youngdy is brilliant! Pleasee over to me after the auction is over, I will


    give you the delicate gift prepared by our auction house… Without further ado, the starting price for


    this silver censer is four and a half million dors…”


    Everyone started to bid against each other as soon as the beautiful auctioneer stated the base


    price.


    The price rose all the way up to seven and a half million dors.


    As the censer hit this high price, there were only a number of people left to bid…


    X began to raise her auction paddle. “Eight million.”


    Thedy sitting at the table next to her raised the paddle too. “Eight million two hundred


    thousand…”


    X raised her auction paddle again. “Eight million three hundred thousand…”


    There was no one left to outbid her.


    Thatdy had stopped bidding and started to quiet down too.


    “Eight million three hundred thousand once… Eight million three hundred thousand twice… Eight


    million three hundred thousand thrice…”

    After the beautiful auctioneer counted to three, she hit the auction gavel on her hand with power


    andnded her eyes on X. “Congrattions to this youngdy over there, who sessfully won


    the silver censer! You’re now the new owner of the silver censer…”


    X was very satisfied to be able to own what she wanted.


    Soon, the silver censer was carried away from the stage and was reced by the blue and white


    porcin vase from Tang Dynasty.


    A strong desire immediately shed across Mary’s eyes as soon as she saw that porcin vase.


    This is what her father wanted.


    Today, she had to win the porcin vase no matter what.


    After the auctioneer gave a short briefing about the porcin vase, the bidding began.
