Chapter 156: These Items Belong To My Wife!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just as the auctioneer was about to cry “Sold!”, she decided to get back the jewelry at any cost. “I want them even if I have to declare bankruptcy! Two-point-one billion!”
Ye Erruo let out a sigh of relief when no one upped her bid.
“Two-point-one billion going once.”
“Two-point-one billion going twice!”
“Two-point-one billion going thrice…”
“Two-point-five billion!” A crystalline voice rang out suddenly.
With fury burning in her eyes, she turned her head in the direction of her female compet.i.tor!
The other woman, however, calmly looked at the pink diamonds on the screen and ignored her murderous gaze.
Her heart was dripping with blood when she made a counter-offer. “Two-point-seven billion.”
“Young Madam, why are you…” The housekeeper could not resist asking upon noticing her furious look.
“The jewelry was sent by Mo Jiangye,” she replied with a sigh.
The servant’s legs instantly gave way. I-It was sent by Young Master? Won’t Young Master give me a h.e.l.l of a thras.h.i.+ng if we’re unable to get the jewelry back then?
“Three billion!” That woman seemed to be bent on beating her.
“Five billion!” cried the housekeeper.
“Wow!” The audience was sent into a frenzy upon hearing the five-billion offer.
“You!” That woman finally lost her cool and turned her head to shoot a furious glare at the housekeeper.
“Any bids higher than five billion?”
No one dared to place any more bids during the auction.
“Five billion going once.”
“Five billion going twice!”
“Sold!”
Thump! The instant the hammer came down, Ye Erruo felt relieved. Meanwhile, she also felt a pinch in the heart.
Warm applause rang out across the entire auction venue.
Then, a man came from the backstage area, approached the auctioneer, and whispered something to him, causing the auctioneer to glance at the woman not far away from him before he nodded.
“My deepest apologies, miss, but we’re unable to hand over the auctioned item to you. There’s a problem with the goods.”
“What’s going on?”
She rose to her feet at once, feeling agitated. “Since the deal has been closed, I should be making the payment and you should be handing me the item. Will this auction house still have any integrity if you go back on your word now?”
With an apologetic look, the auctioneer said, “I’m truly sorry about this, miss. It’s the first time that this has happened in our auction house, but there’s indeed a problem with the auctioned item. As such, we’re willing to compensate you with five billion yuan for causing you an inconvenience. We ask for your kind understanding.”
“She’ll be getting five billion yuan for nothing?”
“Good gracious!”
Cries of exclamation could be heard all over the place.
“I don’t want money. Just hand me the item of the transaction.”
“I’m sorry, miss.” The auctioneer apologized again while someone from the backstage area came forward to take the set of jewelry.
“No. You guys…”
“Well, that’s the end of today’s auction.” The auctioneer took his leave after taking a gentlemanly bow before the audience.
Xiao Mei was practically drowning in tears by now. Gosh, I’m done for. I’m a complete goner.
Ye Erruo’s face had completely darkened. She’d truly had no idea that her husband would send her a gift, especially since the bouquet she had previously received had clearly not been from him. Therefore, she had naturally thought that the gift box she had received this time had been sent to the wrong recipient again.
Just as they were about to leave, a man holding the set of pink diamond jewelry in his hands walked past her.
“Just a second, please!”
As he smirked inwardly, he stopped right in his tracks.
“Didn’t they say that they’re not selling this item because there’s a problem with it? Why is that..”
“It’s you again!” She could hardly believe her eyes.
It was the man she had met at the lobster shop and on several other occasions…
“What a coincidence.” His s.e.xy, magnetic voice was music to the ears.
His lips curled into a slight grin. “Is there something you need, miss?”
Her gaze dropped to his hands. “These…”
“These? These items belong to my wife!”
