Chapter 649

Ryleigh froze instantly upon hearing that Aunt Boucher was here She thought of something at that moment and suddenly became extraordinanly silent

Barbara wrapped her arms around Maisie's Wow, we've found ourselves a couple here. We look so pitiful all of a sudden."

Of course, Barbara knew about Ryleigh and Louis' marriage

Only one sentence was enough to pique Ryleigh as she dragged Maisie over to her side Who told you that we're a couple? And how can you slander me deliberately?"

Barbara then dragged Maisie back to her side again"Even if you're not a couple now, you'll still be husband and wife in the future"

Maisie felt a little dead inside as the duo dragged her to and fro Fortunately, the auction was about to start, and they stopped acting like two young girls fighting over a doll.

They then entered the venue, where there were at least enough seats for more than 1,000 people.

Barbara's reserved seats were located in the first row, near the auction platform.

Maisie looked over and noticed that Mrs. Boucher, her aunt, and Louis were also sitting in the first row.

When everyone was seated, the raw gemstones that the other attendees wanted to auction appeared on the screen, and the people present began to name their price and bid. The buyer would profit from the purchase of the raw gemstone if it were to contain genuine gems. Of course, if someone else were to double their offer, the raw gemstone would go to the highest bidder.

However, if the raw gemstone one bought did not contain any real gem, it would be a pure waste of money. That was why everyone in the audience acted very cautiously.

The competition was indeed rather fierce. Some experts would judge the raw gemstones through the screen and finally decide whether to go for them.

In the end, Raw Gemstone #2 and #6 were displayed on the screen. These two gemstones were those that Barbara had her eyes on. The first stone that went onto the auction platform was Raw Gemstone #6 Ryleigh leaned into Barbara's ear. "Will any of these two be it?"

Barbara stared at the screen. "I'll at least be correct once? At least, that's what I hope."

Someone held up a placard. "4.5 million."

*5.5 million."

More people were raising their placards to place their bids right now. Raw Gemstone #2's surface might look a lot smoother, but there was no fluidity in the pattern of the stone. As for Raw Gemstone #6, tiny gem particles could be seen on the stone's surface, so the experts present would believe that #6 had a higher possibility of containing a genuine gem.

"12 million."

The man in the middle of the hall held up his placard, and he was currently the highest bidder.

Maisie looked back. The middle-aged man was the one who had brought his mistress to the auction. The woman beside him was patting the poodle in her arms and snuggled on his shoulders. Ryleigh broke the silence abruptly. "What a sh*tsack

Maisie turned to look at her. "Do you know him?"

Ryleigh did not say anything, but Barbara gave off a playful smirk. "Things will get really interesting today."

Before Maisie could clear her thoughts, Mrs. Boucher had raised the placard in her hand, 12.5 million."

As if he did not expect a higher bid, the middle-aged man raised his placard again. "13.5 million."

"14 million

Mrs. Boucher did not even blink, and now the other attendees had stopped competing and started to witness the competition between the two. The price of the gemstone skyrocketed to 14 million in under a minute. If this raw gemstone did not contain any gem, it would be equivalent to a loss of 14 million dollars

The middle-aged man then increased his bid to 15 million, and Mrs. Boucher stopped lifting her placard

Maisie looked back and saw someone come to the side of the middle-aged man and say something to him. It could then be seen that the man immediately glanced in Mrs. Boucher's direction in the front row, looking a little awkward. He even pushed the woman in his arms away from his body

The woman reacted by acting coquettishly, so he explained something to her to get her to give up eventually

And Maisie vaguely felt a faint sensation of deceit, just like what Barbara had said just now.

Raw Gemstone #6 was being cut at the moment in a live broadcast. The cutting was done backstage, and everyone present could see it with their own eyes to prevent fraud

No gem was seen when it was already halfway through, and only a tiny piece of gem appeared when it was at the end. That tiny piece of gem was definitely not as worthy as one whole piece of it
