Chapter 37
Jonathan immediately nced at Christopher, feeling that he was doing it on purpose.
His expected price range was 40 million dors, and going beyond that felt a bit excessive.
But after some hesitation, he raised the bid. “42 million dors.”
On the one hand, he wanted to surprise Juliana. On the other hand, he didn’t want Christopher to
outbid him.
Since Christopher had decided not to let go of the Yancey family, he had no reason to hold back!
Christopher continued to raise the bid. “50 million dors.” He added 8 million dors in one go, leaving
many people shocked and gasping for breath. All of them look at Christopher in shock.
It was clear that the emerald earrings weren’t worth this price!
Cecilia leaned toward Christopher and whispered, “If you’re trying topete with Jonathan, there’s no
need.”
“I’m not that childish. I just think the earrings suit you very well.”
Cecilia was stunned for a moment and refused, “I don’t have the habit of wearing jewelry, and I won’t
ept such an extravagant gift.”
“The price has already been called. I can’t back out now. Even if you don’t wear them, you can admire
them.”
As for the part about “not epting gifts”, Christopher simply filtered it out.
Seeing that the die was cast, Cecilia didn’t say anything more.
However, just as the auctioneer was about to conclude the

bidding, Jonathan once again raised the bid, “60 million dors!”
All eyes that were on Christopher now turned to Jonathan.
He lifted his chin slightly, disying an arrogant demeanor, and even nced provocatively at
Christopher.
“Mr. Forte, still want to add more?”
“If he wanted to sn**ch what I desired, he had to be prepared to pay a hefty price!” he mused.
Recently, Yancey Corporation received apensation of over 2 billion dors. Spending a few million
to challenge Christopher was worth it.
Christopher’s thin lips twitched slightly.
Before he could speak, Cecilia tugged on his arm.
With her cheeks puffed up, she pretended to be angry.
“No more bidding! I’ll treat you as a big fool and won’t talk to you anymore!”
Seeing Cecilia’s sweet and cute looks, Christopher nodded. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. From now on, I’ll
only buy things that are worth it.”
Although Jonathan had sessfully won the emerald earrings, ne didn’t feel particrly happy about it.
That wicked woman was right; he had indeed been a big fool. He felt like Christopher had tricked him.
He spent 60 million dors on the earrings when he could ave gotten them for around 20 million.
‘specially when people around were looking at him like a fool, naking him particrly irritated.
f it weren’t for his curiosity about the mysterious auction item, e would have left a long time ago.
More than ten minutester, it was finally the turn of number

In other words, the mysterious auction item was about to be unveiled.
Before that, the lowest closing price for the auction was 32 million dors. It was a calligrapher’s
authentic work.
The highest closing price was 2.4 billion dors, selling arge-scale tourism project in Quilton.
With theserge auction items preceding it, Cecilia was less worried.
The auctioneer didn’t keep everyone in suspense. He smiled and said, “I know everyone has been
waiting for this moment.
, let’s unveil the mysterious auction item together.”
Then he looked at Cecilia and said, “The seller of the mysterious auction item is also there. She will
personally exin it to everyone.”
The moment he finished speaking, the spotlight was focused on Cecilia.
She was caught off guard, and the intense light made it difficult for her to open her eyes. She had to
shield her eyes with her hand.
Christopher held her cold hand and said, “Go ahead, exin it yourself. It will work better.”
Letting Cecilia exin it was a decision Christopher made on the spot. He had Matthias to arrange for
it.
Not only was it easier to sell the herb ntation, but he also wanted the Yancey family to know what
they had lost because of stu**dity!
Feeling the strength in her palm, Cecilia steadied herself and elegantly walked onto the stage.
She was dressed up very stunningly that day. Under the spotlight, she seemed to be glowing, and her
beauty was

breathtaking.
Jonathan was utterly stunned, and he didn’te to his senses. until Cecilia stepped onto the stage.
The beautiful female voice sounded, and his eyes refocused.
Cecilia had observed thementator before and knew how to conduct the presentation.
She stood beside the big screen and exined while operating theputer to disy slides.
“The mysterious auction item is a herb ntation of 1.65 acres, cultivated with rare herbs. Even in a
bad market, the price for one medicinal herb can reach 10,000 dors. If the market is good, it can
double. There are more than 50,000 medicinal herbs in the herb ntation.”
“If you are in the pharmaceutical business, you don’t need to think twice. You can buy it directly
because thend for growing medicinal herbs is also included in the auction. I will provide the soil
form, and you can continue to produce the herbs in the future.”
“Of course, even if you are not in the pharmaceutical business, you can still buy it because whether for
resale or retail, you will always make a profit.”
After exining, she announced the starting price of the herb ntation. “The starting price is 1 billion
dors, with a minimum increment of 20 million dors each time.”
Then she added, “Of course, don’t raise the price too high. Going beyond 1.4 billion dors won’t be
profitable.”
As a seller of the auction items, they usuallyined about the selling price being too low.
This was the first time someone refused to allow the price to be raised.
Cecilia’s candor left a good impression on everyone.
People who were originally not interested in herb ntations began to think seriously about whether
they should bid for it.
Jousthan thought that the herb ntation was something Christopher presented to Cecilia for her
dignity
It wasn’t until he saw the address of the herb ntation that he knew he was wrong
The herb ntation belonged to Cecilia herself!
The few pieces ofnd he looked down upon before were worth hundreds of millions of dors!
He felt a burning sensation on his face when he thought about how everyone in the Yancey family
thought Cecilia only made 2,000 to 4,000 dors a year and often looked down on her.
But soon, he med it on Cecilia,
She must have hidden the truth because she was worried that her family would ask for her money,
She deserved to be looked down upon!
However, on second thought, if the bidding price for the herb ntation was not too high, he could
consider acquiring it. Among the people present, there were not many who were in the pharmaceutical
business.
But they all knew how to do business.
Prime Auction House’s auction was well-received, and he wouldn’t resort to fraud.
In other words, Cecilia’s words were true.
Soon someone raised the bid. “1.02 billion dors.”
Upon hearing this, Cecilia wore a beautiful smile on her face, making the lights pale inparison.
“1.04 billion dors!”
Soon, the price was raised to 1.22 billion dors.
The price was simply too high, and those who had bid before.

gave up, leaving only two people persevering.
One of them was Jonathan, and the other was in the pharmaceutical business.
Thetter knew the real value of the herb ntation and
wanted to acquire it, but he didn’t have sufficient funds. So, he had to give up.
In the end, Jonathan acquired the herb ntation for 1.*2 billion dors.
Cecilia didn’t expect that.
She didn’t know how Jonathan would feel when he found out that the money he used to buy the herb
ntation was all spent by her to purchase Yancey Corporation’s shares.
She stepped off the stage and sat down, asking Christopher, “Can we go now?”
“Not yet. We can only make the transaction after the auction ends.”
“Then, let’s wait a bit more.”
Half an hourter, the auction ended.
Jonathan walked up to Cecilia, arrogantly using her, “Do you think it’s interesting to pretend to be
poor and fool us around?”
Cecilia was well aware that she could never wake up a person who pretended to be asleep or correct
someone who thought she was wrong.
She raised her red lips and smiled brightly. “It’s interesting.”
After saying that, she spread her hands and said, “Mr. Yancey, give me the money!”
