Chapter 321


    Paige snorted and took the chocte.


    Her phone in her pocket had already rung like 800 times, but Paige totally ignored it.


    Rosalynn couldn’t help but looked towards the corner where Wayne was.


    That area was pitch ck, and it was impossible to see what people were doing there.


    However…


    From the silhouette, it seemed that Wayne had been looking up at the stage ever since Ivy’s video


    started.


    Could it be… that he discovered something?


    Wayne was indeed watching Ivy all the time.


    He never thought that such a young child would have such rich emotions, knowing what romance and


    devotion was and being able to express it through paintings.


    She also knew how to express love.


    Love for her great–grandmother, her mother, her brother….


    Her parents had raised her so well.


    After the painters had finished their introductions, it was time for the auction.


    Everything went smoothly at the beginning, and almost all the painters‘ works were sold.


    However, thepetition wasn’t fierce after just about three or four bids on the base price, a deal was


    made.


    “Next up is No. 9’s work, ‘Birch Forest‘ and ‘Virgin Mary!”


    Right after No. 8’s work, it was Ivy’s paintings.


    Ivy, on the side, nervously grabbed Laura’s hand tightly.


    The starting price for “Birch Forest” was $100,000.1


    The auction began.


    In an instant, more than a dozen signs were raised.


    Paige gasped.


    Olivia, on the other hand, was staring at Wayne beside her with astonishment.


    He… raised a bid.


    Olivia had made it clear that she didn’t like these two paintings. But he still raised the bid anyway.


    Every time a bid was raised, it could be increased by multiples of $5,000.


    When the auction price reached 1 million dors, there were only Wayne and thedy who wanted to


    form a marriage alliance with Ivy. “One and half million!”


    The grandmother was so excited, staring at Wayne and directly added $500,000.


    Wayne, however, ignored her and calmly raised the bid. “Three million,”


    “Three million!!” The auctioneer began to roar, “This gentleman bids up to three million, any higher?”


    “Young man, I’m old enough to be a grandmother. I like the girl’s love towards her great–grandmother


    and want to buy it back. Why do you have topete with me?” The olddy was so angry that she


    stood up.


    “I also like that” Wayne’s expression was indifferent.


    When it reached three million, the grandmother didn’t want to raise the price anymore, and sat down


    angrily.


    in the end, “Birch Forest” was sold for three million.


    The camera swept over Wayne, and it inevitably captured Olivia as well Olivia was d that she was


    good at pretending, otherwise…


    Three million! How could such a painting be worth three million!!


    Although this amount of money wasn’t a big deal for Wayne. But… it was not worth it for such a brat!


    “Next is ‘Virgin Mary, with a starting price of $200,000! The auctioneer was beyond excited.


    Compared to the Birch Forest, this painting had a more significant meaning.


    That was a painting that the painter drew while praying for her mother.


    Wayne probably figured that there was no point in increasing the bid little by little, as it was a waste of


    time.


    He raised his bid with a cold tone: “5 million.”


    The whole room gasped!


    “Five… five million?” The auctioneer was dumbfounded.


    “Wayne!” Olivia couldn’t help but start in a low voice, “This painting isn’t worth that much money!”


    “Really?” Wayne’s tone was indifferent, “But I think that even more money would be worth it.”

    Olivia was speechless.
