Chapter 334 Armand Would Die Of Happiness
The other guests continued entering the conference room while the two of them were chatting,
filling the ce up fairly quickly.
With all the guests finally seated, the first round of the auction began with contemporary works of art
and literature.
As Genevieve wasn''t interested in either of those, she chose not to raise her bidder card.
Because Timothy''s father had a thing for paintings, he bought one for him at a high price.
The theme for the second round of the auction was ceramics. After going through a few vases, the next
item was an earring box made out of pink-colored ss.
The design of the box looked incredibly exquisite with the grapevine pattern made out of gold lines,
especially when viewed under the spotlight.
Genevieve raised her bidder card the moment the auctioneer mentioned the starting bid.
A few other guests also raised their bidder cards after her, and the price soon skyrocketed to thirty
million.
Eventually, the bid got so high that most guests stopped raising their bidder cards. Right when

Genevieve thought the item was hers for sure, another guest sitting in the corner continued to raise the
bid.
When the price went past sixty million and the guest was still going at it, Genevieve decided to give up
on the item.
“Why are you stopping now? Your husband has enough money tost a few generations! Don''t tell me
you''re trying to save him some money?” Timothy asked curiously.
“It''s just an earring box anyway. I don''t really like it all that much, so that person can have it instead,”
she replied.
The third round of the auction featured jade artifacts.
Genevieve wasn''t all that interested in jade, but one of the items being auctioned caught her attention.
It was a pendant made out of high-quality white jade which felt really cool to the touch. On top of that, it
was made by an insanely famous craftsman.
Everyone began raising their bidder card as soon as the auctioneer announced the starting bid.
After raising her bidder card twenty times, Genevieve sessfully purchased the jade pendant for a
hundred and eighty million.
“You refuse to pay sixty million for the earring box, but you''d go as far as a hundred and eighty million
for this jade pendant? I bet Armand would die from happiness when he finds out,” Timothy teased her.
Genevieve simply ignored him and proceeded to purchase two more jade artifacts after that.
There, this should be enough charity work for tonight.
As the jade artifacts were sold out, the auctioneer announced with a mysterious smile, “I''m sure you all
know that we always pick one of the items to be saved forst. Now, allow me to present the final item
for tonight''s auction!”
The hotel staff brought out an item that was covered with a ck cloth and ced it on the table.
With a swift motion, the auctioneer then lifted the ck cloth, revealing a magnificent phoenix-shaped
crown.
The crown had an air of nobility and elegance to it. A phoenix with its wings outstretched stood high on
the top of the crown. Beneath it, clouds and flowers of all shapes and sizes adorned the body of the
crown.
It looked so dazzling that everything else around it seemed dull inparison.
The auctioneer smiled when he heard everyone gasping in shock and awe. “This gilded crown is
embedded with emeralds. It was worn by a princess during her wedding, so it is a highly valuable
collectible! The starting bid will be...”
“This crown is amazing! Not only is it a great collectible, but it can also be worn during future
weddings!” Timothy eximed as he raised his bidder card.
Genevieve simply nced at the crown in admiration without raising her bidder card.
I''ve been married twice now, and I didn''t even have a wedding for my second marriage. Unless any
unforeseen circumstances were to ur, this should be my final marriage. Besides, who in their right
mind would want to wear such a heavy and expensive crown at their wedding?
The crown was the most popr item of that auction, and almost everyone took turns bidding for it.
The number of bidders only started decreasing when the price went up to a hundred million.
Timothy casually continued raising his bidder card while munching on the peanuts. He didn''t seem
worried about losing that bid at all.
In less than three minutes, the bid had gone up to two million, making the crown the most expensive
item at the auction.
“Isn''t number twenty-two over there the one thatpeted with you for the earring box earlier?”
Timothy asked.
Genevieve shifted her gaze in the direction of his finger and looked to her right.
