Chapter 947

He tried a couple more times, but it still went unanswered.

Philip was slightly worried.

“What’s the matter, Philip? Why are you in a daze?”

Melody suddenly sprang out from the side, looking very active and playful.

Philip squeezed the phone and said anxiously, “I can’t get through Anna’s phone.”

Melody immediately took Philip’s arm and said with a smile, “Oh, Anna will take good care of Mila, so

don’t worry. What can happen? I’ve seen Anna’s skills. She’s a black belt in Taekwondo, you know.”

A black belt in Taekwondo?

Philip breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe Anna brought Mila out to play.

“Let’s go. The auction is about to start. A lot of people came this time. It’s so exciting!”

Melody was just a playful little girl, pushing Philip to the second floor.

The second floor of Phoenix Pavilion was the auction venue. It was a very stylish space that spanned

across thousands of square feet.

At this moment, many people had already arrived at the auction venue, and there were also many

people in the seats arranged in the main hall.

Most of them were prominent figures from all over the country, traveling over great distances just to get

a glimpse of Cleopatra’s treasure that was the finale tonight.

Philip and Melody went up to the second floor and were stopped at the door.

Due to the large flow of people, verification was required.

The VIPs participating in the auction naturally had their own number plates and would go through the

green entrance.

As for the tourists who were here for the excitement, they had to go to the side door for security checks

before entering the venue.

The seats in the main hall were reserved for the rich people participating in the auction.

The outer circle was filled with tourists and visitors.

This was also a major feature of Phoenix Pavilion—to include the common citizens in the excitement.

In this case, not only would it increase the excitement of the auction, but it would also arouse

widespread attention. It could raise a lot of positive public opinion on the web.

For Phoenix Pavilion, this was a good opportunity to raise public awareness.

Philip followed Melody and joined the queue to enter the venue.

All around them, visitors were talking about the auction tonight. They were extremely excited.

“Hey, did you hear? The starting price for Cleopatra’s treasure is 30 million!”

“You’re so outdated. I heard many prominent figures have turned up tonight. Even the second young

master of the Kingsley family is here!”

“Conrad Kingsley? We can expect a good show then. Everyone says that the second young master of

the Kingsley family is arrogant and domineering. Wherever he goes, he’d throw money by the handful.”

A group of people was chatting and discussing.

Melody was interested and interrupted them, asking, “Who’s the second young master of the Kingsley

family?”

The boy in front turned around, and upon seeing a sexy girl like Melody, he immediately replied with a

grin, “You must be from out of town. Conrad Kingsley is the infamous rich second generation in

Phoenicia, and the Kingsleys are also the largest family in the area. It’s said that the Kingsley family’s

assets are at least worth ten billion!”

After the boy finished speaking, the people around him all had envy and jealousy in their eyes.

Some people also looked triumphant, as if knowing the second young master of the Kingsley family

was a glorious thing.

“Only more than ten billion?”

Melody mumbled, her words accidentally heard by several people.

“Hehe, the little girl’s appetite is not small indeed. Is ten billion not enough?”

A beautifully dressed woman flicked a glance at her. With raised eyebrows, she spoke very arrogantly.

She did not like Melody at first glance. For such a pretty young girl, any other woman would be jealous.

Besides, she was originally the center of attention among this group of people. Being robbed of her

limelight suddenly by Melody, an 18-year-old girl, she was naturally unhappy.

“Is ten billion a lot?”

Melody glanced sideways and asked earnestly.

Hehe.

Instantly, several people shook their heads.

“Beauty, stop joking. Do you have ten billion?”

One of the boys said sarcastically as his eyes fell on Philip who was behind Melody.

This man was dressed ordinarily and looked indifferent.

Was she here for a holiday with her boyfriend?
