Chapter 1843
When His Eyes Opened
Soon, it will be Hayden and Laylaâs birthday.
Avery saw the promotion of this jewelry auction on the Internet.
Jewelry in this auction, there was a childrenâs jewelry, particularly beautiful.
Avery took a fancy to it at a glance.
She thought that Layla would like it very much, so she wanted to take a picture and give it to her
daughter.
âThe next piece of jewelry is a childrenâs jewelry. This jewelry was designed by the empress of the J-
Kingdom for her daughter in the last century. This jewelry was made by hand by the top craftsmen of
the J-Kingdom at that time. There were a total of 108 gemstones inlaid on itâ¦Whether itâs a good
choice for taking pictures for my daughter or remodeling.â The auctioneer introduced this jewelry on the
stage, and after quoting the reserve price, the scene Start bidding.
When Avery was about to bid, the man sitting next to her immediately raised a placard: â$8 million.â
Avery took a deep breath.
It seems that this man was determined to win.
Because the reserve price was $5 million.
The man added $3 million directly.
Avery glanced at the picture of the jewelry again, and still liked it very much, presumably her daughter
would like it even more.
Thinking of this, she immediately raised her placard.
The default value of a raise is $500,000.
âNo. 9 bid $8.5 million!â the auctioneer said immediately, âIs there anyone else?â
âI bid $10 million.â Avery corrected.
The auctioneer was shocked and immediately corrected: âNo. 9 bid $10 million. Is there anyone else to
follow?â
No. 10, who was sitting beside Avery, looked panicked.
He stared at Avery.
Avery lowered the brim of her hat, not wanting to be seen by outsiders.
âWait a minute, Iâll make a call.â The man number 10 didnât see Averyâs face clearly, so he didnât dare to
increase the price rashly, and he didnât want to give up, so he made a request.
Auction suspended.
The man called Norah Jones and said, âMs. Jones, the woman sitting next to me also wants to
photograph that set of jewelry. I asked for 8 million, and she directly increased it to 10 million. She is
wearing a hat, I canât see her face, and I donât know where she is. I donât know how much she can add.
So I can only ask you.â
Norah Jonesâs reserve price was $10 million. She wanted to photograph this set of jewelry, but also to
give it to Layla at that time. Of course, she wonât send a whole set directly. Too expensive gift, Sheâs
afraid Elliot will not allow Layla to accept it.
She can give a necklace this time and a bracelet next time. She didnât want to be disrupted by the plan
she had made. But to increase the price, she felt that it was not worth it.
That set of jewelry, although precious and beautiful, is only worth 10 million at most. Any more, is the
IQ tax.
âMs. Jones, the organizer of this auction and Mr. Foster know each other. Would you like to call Mr.
Foster and ask him to help?â
Norah Jones hesitated for a while, then said, âIâll call Mr. Foster and ask.â
After a while, The man No. 10 finished the call and returned to the auction hall.
From the corner of Averyâs eyes, she saw a triumphant smile on The manâs face, as if everything was
under control.
The man: âGive up this set of jewelry!â
Avery replied, âgive me a reason to give up.â
âMy boss is going to make an order. And we wonât increase the price. Just use $10 million to buy this
set of jewelry.â The man put his hands around his chest, and the corner of his mouth raised a smug
smile.
A staff member in uniform walked in and called the auctioneer off the stage, and the two had a private
chat.
