Chapter 191
Marco was rendered speechless. He leaned back, feeling hurt by her words.
The first item was soon wheeled into the hall.
It was a shiny emerald ring in a transparent box. The item was displayed on the screen for all to see.
“This is the first item that was donated by Miss Torres. It’s a Cartier emerald ring. It’s made of pure emerald that was cut into a square. The silver base adds to its beauty. This auction will be conducted with no reserve price. The highest bidder for each item gets it. Let the show begin!”
A sharp female voice was suddenly heard from a corner of the hall.
“I bid one dollar!”
This offer caused a stir in the hall.
Everyone was shocked by it.
Priceless jewels like emeralds cost a fortune. More so, Cartier was an expensive brand. Why did someone bid that low for such a Luxury item?
All the guests were well-to-do individuals. None of them Lacked money.
This was why the first offer was ridiculously strange. It was obvious that the bidder was belittling the item to ridicule the donor—Loraine.
With a deep frown, Loraine turned to look in the direction that the voice came. Her eyes fell on the face of an acquaintance.
“Vickie Archer?”
Loraine didn’t expect to meet Vickie here. Vickie looked so different from how she was when Loraine met her at the interview in Universe
Group.
She was a top white-collar employee at that time, so she dressed professionally.
But now, she was wearing a sexy bodycon dress. Her hair was permed into deep waves and the makeup on her face was heavy. She looked like a completely different person.
There was a chunky arm around her shoulders. It belonged to a fat old man who had a pot belly.
Vickie held the man’s hand intimately and flashed an evil smile at
Loraine.
“Long time no see, Loraine. You don’t mind me offering a dollar for the ring, do you? After all, there’s no reserve price in this auction.”
“Hey, cut it out! Something tells me you are trying to make trouble here. How can an emerald ring be worth a dollar? Even a fake ring is worth more than that!” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Jennie sprang to her feet and got short with Vickie.
