Chapter 216 Deliberately Raising the Price
Lyra also recognized that the person who offered 150 thousand was Luke and guessed that he
wanted to buy the ring back for Sydney.
''Hmph, don''t even think about it.''
"180 thousand!" Lyra raised her card again.
To the side, Brandon''s eyes twitched and he hurriedly stopped her. "Enough, Lyra. Stop raising the
price.
This ring isn''t worth 180 thousand at all."
"I don''t care. I can''t let Sydney get what she wants," Lyra bit her lip and said with scarlet eyes.
Brandon frowned and was just about to say something when another male voice sounded. "230
thousand dors!"
That voice...
Sydney''s face lit up. "It''s Cay. Luke, it''s Cayden."
"I know it''s the kid." Luke nodded and raised his card. "250 thousand!"
Lyra hated Luke and the man who shouted 230 thousand.
Those two men were out to get her, right?
"300 thousand!" Lyra squeezed the card in her hand and directly increased the price by 50
thousand.
The crowd was in an uproar.
In the room on the second floor, Julien frowned deeply.
What the hell was Lyra nning to do?
Why did she insist on getting the ring?
"450 thousand!" Julien pressed the button.
The auctioneer sucked in a breath of cold air. His voice trembled slightly as he shouted out the
highest offer.
The crowd in the venue was astonished again.
The bid increased by 150 thousand.
Who was this big shot?
Everyone looked at Room 1 on the second floor.
Brandon also narrowed his old eyes and began to wonder if the person in Room 1 was Julien.
He was very dissatisfied that Julien refused to let them into the room.
He was Julien''s future father-inw. Was Julien not afraid that he would be unhappy by doing this?
"530 thousand!" Luke shouted his price again.
Right after that, Layden''s voice also sounded. "600 thousand."
"670 thousand!" Hunter, who had not been involved, suddenly participated.
Sydney shook her head. "You''re mad. You''re all mad."
"Don''t worry, Darling. Can''t you tell? We''re not trying to buy the ring at all. We''re just messing with
Lyra." Luke shook his card andughed.
Sydney rolled her eyes at him. "Of course, I can tell, but don''t forget about the person on the
second floor. People who can sit in private rooms for auctions have extraordinary identities. That
person isn''t someone we can easily offend. If the final bidder ends up being that person instead of
Lyra, you guys maliciously increase the price like that is sure to unintentionally offend that person."
"Don''t worry, we already offended them. The master of this auction hall was my college ssmate. I
asked him, and he told me that the person in that room is Julien."
Luke curled his lips. "Julien and Lyra are on the same side. No matter which one we mess with, we
still win."
Sydney was stunned. "It''s Julien?"
"Yeah." Luke nodded.
Sydney bit her lip, her moodplicated.
It turned out the one who startedpeting with Lyra was Julien.
''Why does Julien want to buy this ring? It''s my ring. Why is he buying it? To give to Lyra?
''That''s impossible.''
Sydney shook her head and rejected this spection.
Taking an ex-wife''s ring to give to one''s current girlfriend was something that ordinary people would
not be able to do, so he most likely had another purpose. As for what that goal was, Sydney did not
understand and could not be bothered to think about it either.
In any case, she no longer wanted this ring. Why should she bother about what other people
wanted it for?
"750 thousand!" Julien offered again from the second floor room.
Lyra still wanted to raise her card, but Brandon pressed her down fiercely.
He looked at her with a gloomy face. "If you dare to make another offer, I''ll break your legs."
Only someone like her would think of spending hundreds of thousands of dors to buy a ring that
someone else had worn.
Even if she was jealous of Sydney and could not ept that Sydney had a ring from Julien, that
was no excuse.
Lyra was finally afraid and could only watch as the ring was auctioned off to the mysterious person
in the second floor room.
The people in the audience chattered away.
750 thousand dors to buy a ring. They wondered whether the person on the second was an idiot.
The ring was soon sent to the second floor.
Julien looked at the ring on the ck velvet, his eyes dark and obscure.
When Sydney left the Flint family, she did not wear any jewelry. This ring was the only thing she
took with her.
However, now, even this ring returned to him in this way.
From now on, Sydney had no more items that were rted to him.
Julien clenched the ring fiercely at that thought. His heart ached as if it had been stabbed by
someone.
The auction soon finished, and everyone got up to leave the auction site to head to the banquet hall
upstairs.
When all the people downstairs left, Julien got up from the sofa and left the room with his crutch.
As soon as he went out, he saw Brandon and Lyra walking toward him.
Lyra''s eyes were wide in disbelief. "Julien... The person who bought the ring was you!"
"It''s me." Julien''s eyes shed slightly as he admitted graciously.
Anyone would be able to find out that the person in Room 1 was him if they checked.
There was nothing he had to hide.
"Why?" Lyra''s eyes instantly moistened. She bit her lips, looking at him as if he had done something
wrong to her. "Why did you buy that ring? Do you want to return it to Ms. Raines?"
Brandon also stared closely at Julien.
Julien frowned. "No. When that ring was bought, it had the emblem of the Flint family engraved
inside it. It''s not suitable to stray outside."
This was indeed one of the reasons why he bought the ring.
The other reason was because he did not want others to get the ring. When he thought that the ring
might be bought by Luke or Hunter, or another man altogether, his heart inexplicably felt some
anger.
Lyra did not know what Julien was thinking. Her tears suddenly stopped when she heard his words.
" Really?"

Julien took the ring out of his pocket and handed it to her. "You can check."
Lyra took the ring and checked it.
Julien pursed his thin lips when he saw this.
Although it was true that he told her to check it, he found it an eyesore when she actually took it. It
was as if she did not believe in him.
Most importantly, she once said in her letters that she would trust him. However, now that he
thought about it, he suddenly realized that she never did.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Lyra''s surprised voice. "There''s an emblem."
Julien gathered his thoughts and said softly, "Of course."
"I''m sorry, Julien. I misunderstood you. I thought you wanted to give it back to Ms. Raines." Lyra
returned the ring to Julien.
Brandonughed aloud. "Since it''s just a misunderstanding, it''s good that it was resolved."
Julien hummed and took the ring, then subconsciously wiped the ring with his thumb.
Only after wiping it did he realize with shock that he disdained Lyra for dirtying the ring.
"Julien?" Lyra waved her hand in front of him.
Julien returned to his senses. "What''s wrong?"
"That''s my line. Why did you suddenly space out?" Lyra asked him.
Julien lowered his head and said in a low voice," Nothing. I just thought of some stuff. By the way,
why did you want to buy this ring?"
He put the ring back into his pocket and stared at Lyra closely.
Lyra lowered her head in grievance. "It''s because you didn''t want to give me a ring. You kept
insisting on buying me a ring only when we got married. I saw that this ring was donated by Ms.
Raines, and I thought that you also had one yourself, so I wanted to buy it and make it a pair with
yours. It would also be like you gave it to me. That''s why I bid on it."
