Chapter 884 Sixty Six Million

The price of the first auction item was so high that nobody dared to bid. Casimir sensed that Amanda was slightly emotional, so he asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong with you?””I’m fine.” She was just a bit sentimental when she saw something that she had been familiar with before. Suddenly, a male voice came from the second floor, “Six million.”The voice instantly broke the deadlock at that moment. It was even surprising when somebody added four million directly. Stanford clenched his fist, “Ten million.”Lindsay looked up at him. She was getting unhappy as she looked at the ring on the model’s hand. She could also recognize that the ring belonged to Amanda. A voice came from the second floor again, “Twenty million.”Whoa…His bid caused a commotion. Wasn’t that crazy?”Forty million,” Stanford said confidently as he was determined to win the bid. Nobody made a higher bid as the price was out of their expectation. Even if they were rich, it was not easy to earn it actually. The host was also excited as the first auction item was already so hot. The host raised his voice, “Forty million, is there anybody higher?”Nobody raised their voice. The host said again, “Four million first, four million second, four million…””Six million.” A voice came from the second floor again at this crucial moment. Everybody wanted to see who was the person on the second floor? Why was the person so rich? Was it so easy to earn? The price had far exceeded the value of this ring.”Stanford, it’s not worth it at all. This person upstairs doesn’t even show his face. Perhaps, he is an insider in this auction. He just bids up the price purposely…””Sixty-six million.”Lindsay was interrupted by Stanford’s bidding voice before she could finish her words.”Mr. James is really rich and generous.” Somebody said with a smile. A ring that cost such an expensive price would definitely be on the news tomorrow. Amanda gazed at the man who was bidding for the ring. What was he thinking? Apparently, everybody knew that the bid was far beyond the value of the item itself. Did he still have a heart? No, he was heartless. If he did, he would not have let her die! At this moment, he just wanted to reassure himself. However, she was curious about the person bidding on the second floor. Who was actually that person? She looked up but the upper floor was not open to the public, so she did not see that person.(w)??.No?el?H?m?.C??”There must be something behind the scene.” Casimir also felt that this was arranged by the organizer deliberately.”What is behind the scene?” Amanda asked.”Bidding up purposely, raising the auction price.””I don’t think so.” Wasn’t he smart and calculating? Would he compete with the guy upstairs? He would not obviously. It seemed that the guy upstairs was bidding up because he was sure that

Stanford would want to win the bid.”Sixty-six million first, Sixty-six million second…” The host slowed down as he said, “Sixty-six million… deal! Congratulations to Mr. James! Also, thank you Mr. James for your contribution tonight. Now, let’s have the model to present this ring to Mr. James.”The model took the ring off her finger and put it into a velvet box. She held it on a tray carefully and walked towards Stanford.???.?o???SHo??.?(o)?Lindsay clenched her fist tightly. She was already dead and why did she still have to come and influence him?”Mr. James.” The model held the tray in front of him. Stanford reached out and picked up the ring. He gripped it in his hand and put it into his pocket. His expression was extremely calm. However, he was gripping the ring tightly in his pocket as if the ring was embedded in his hand.”Please let our model bring out the next auction item.”Soon, a model came up with a painting in her hand. The host was introducing the background of the painting and the artist as well. The well-known painting must be expensive. Casimir was not interested as he was representing the company, not on behalf of himself. So, he would not bid simply and would only bid for the right price when he came across something. Amanda was just accompanying him, so she was not interested either. She pulled him to a quiet place.”Have you seen that ring?”Casimir shook his head honestly. Amanda thought in her mind whether somebody had picked it up and donated it to the organizer? Otherwise, she could not think of any other explanation.”You still haven’t found out the person who died at that time, right?” At that time, she had to go abroad for treatment, so she left before Casimir could check it out. It was not mentioned afterwards. Casimir nodded, “Can’t find out anything.”Amanda frowned as the person had nothing to do with her but died in the fire that was aiming at her? She always felt that there was something wrong. Commonly, the police would state the identity of the victim but they did not do so.”The reserve price for this auction item is sixty thousand.”Casimir looked over as he heard the sound. He wanted to bid for it as the price was quite low since he ???.??????H??e.?o?could not come without doing anything.???.???e??????.?o?”I’m going to the washroom.” Amanda saw that he was interested, so she ended the conversation. She walked to the washroom in her high heels. At this moment, Lindsay was looking at herself in the mirror in the washroom. As she stared at her delicate face and slim body, she thought that she was better than Amanda. Why Stanford was not attracted to her?”Amanda, you’re already dead. Why do you still want to steal him from me?!”She was really reluctant. After all, she did not get anything in the end even if she had done so much.”I should have killed you earlier so that you won’t have the chance to live in his heart!”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
