Chapter 1384 The Price
Chapter 1384 The Price
Aurelia let out a sigh.
Twenty million for this piece of stone, definitely not a loss.
As she was about to secure the stone, Leon nced at Selena and spoke up, "Twenty-five million."
She was about to send someone to put up the price tag, but her face slightly changed upon hearing
someone offering a higher price.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Thirty million!"
Leon was about to continue raising the bid when he suddenly saw Selena turn her head to look at him.
The look in her eyes was as if she was looking at a fool.
Leon''s lips twitched.
If he wasn''t afraid of her losing, he wouldn''t have bothered to participate in this auction.
Having the stone fall into his hands was still better than Aurelia''s.
If this imperial green jade was really opened, Selena would definitely lose today.
Selena seemed to have understood his thoughts and waved her snow-white hand, "No need."
Leon was speechless.
But since Selena had said so, he didn''t care anymore.
Aurelia rxed her nerves upon seeing Leon not bidding anymore and was about to instruct someone
to put up the price tag when she suddenly heard Selena say, "Thirty-five million."
So, she doesn''t want him to bid because she has her eyes on it?
Aurelia''s nerves tightened again. She turned her head and smiled at Selena, "Miss Turner, are you also
interested in this piece of stone?"
Selena''s previous standards for selecting stones had left a deep impression on everyone.
And from all angles, this piece of stone on the stage didn''t look like any kind of animal.
So, Selena was pretending to be a fool to catch Aurelia off guard and waiting here topete with
her?
Selena nced at her, "I''m not interested in it."
Aurelia was puzzled.
Then she heard Selena say, "But I am interested in seeing you spend more money."
Everyone was stunned.
Aurelia''s face suddenly changed, and she immediately understood Selena''s intention.
Selena didn''t actually want this piece of stone, but she knew that Aurelia did, so she intentionally raised
the price at this moment!
Aurelia''s smile on her face couldn''t be maintained any longer. "Miss Turner, you''re breaking the rules!"
Selena looked at her strangely. "I have money, and the markup is within the scope of the rules. How am
I breaking the rules?"
Aurelia was speechless.
As others at the scene listened to Selena''s words, many of them couldn''t help butugh.
"I knew there would be a good show behind this..."
"The first time I''ve seen someone openly admit they''re a shill, Miss Turner never disappoints."
"These two sisters from the Bet family haven''t experienced enough bullying. If they had kept their
mouths shut and not provoked Selena, none of this would have happened. Now, if you want the jade,
pay up..."
As Aurelia listened to the whispers, she realized that Selena was intentionally getting back at them.
Getting back at Edith for repeatedly mocking her!
She had said she would make them pay, and it wasn''t just a joke.
Aurelia''s mouth trembled, and even her dignified expression couldn''t be maintained. She turned her
head and gave Edith a fierce re.
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Edith clearly didn''t expect Selena to use such despicable means to scheme against them.
The money that Aurelia spent was from their Bet family, which meant it was hers!
She directly shouted in anger, "It''s just a few words. How can you be so selfish, narrow-minded, and
despicable!"
Aurelia heard her dare to curse Selena and her face turned pale. "Edith, shut up!"
Edith was taken aback, and then heard Selena casually say, "I misspoke earlier. I bid 50 million."
Aurelia''s face twitched violently.
Edith covered her mouth and looked at Selena with a hint of fear in her eyes.
With just one word, Selena had increased the bid by 15 million!
Aurelia closed her eyes and turned to Nichs. "Mr. Soo, my sister isn''t feeling well. Could you have
someone take her back?"
Leaving Edith here, who knows what price Selena will raise it to!
Nichs looked displeased and nced at Edith. He ordered in a cold voice, "Send Miss Edith back to
rest."
The Soo family''s servant immediately stepped forward and forcefully escorted Edith out.
Edith was unwilling toply and wanted to speak, but the servant was prescient and covered her
mouth.
In full view of everyone, Edith was brought out in a sorry state.
Selena sneered, "So it turns out you can actually discipline your sister. I almost thought that you
wouldn''t do anything else besides giving a superficial scolding."
Aurelia''s face flushed with heat. She tried to maintain herposure and put on a gentle smile. "Miss
Turner, I will definitely manage Edith strictly and make sure she doesn''t talk nonsense."
Selena averted her gaze.
Aurelia took a deep breath and refocused her attention on the stage, where therge stone was
disyed.
If it were any other stone, she might have given up after Selena raised the price to 50 million. But this
stone was carefully chosen as a token of affection for Alfie. She couldn''t let it go.
Aurelia made up her mind and turned to Nichs. "Mr. Soo, this stone cannot fall into Miss Turner''s
hands."
If Selena won today, would she not p Nichs in the face? Nichs invited Selena here today to
assert his dominance. He couldn''t let this crucial stone fall into Selena''s hands. "Go ahead and bid," he
said.
50 million was a lot of money for most people, but for the Soo family, it was a drop in the bucket.
Nichs valued his reputation more than money. And he couldn''t allow Selena to trample on the Soo
family''s turf.
Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the stone. "60 million!" she dered firmly.
Selena smiled faintly. "65 million."
Aurelia''s heart trembled. She didn''t dare to joke around with 70 million, even if she was confident in
herself. But at this point, she couldn''t stop. She gritted her teeth and bid, "70 million!"
She was afraid Selena would raise the price again. If the price of a rough stone soared to 80 million, it
would be a huge loss.
Selena gave Aurelia a meaningful look and smiled. "Since Miss Bet likes this stone so much, I''ll let
her have it."
Aurelia breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Thank goodness!
Selena didn''t continue to haggle.
But then she remembered that if Edith hadn''t said those disrespectful things to Selena, she could have
gotten the stone for 30 million.
Now she had to pay 70 million, which made her feel sick. Edith''s four disrespectful remarks to Selena
cost her an additional 40 million!
