Chapter 111
After all, when Matthias had taken her to the previous banquet and the tech expo, Trevor had ignored her existence from beginning to end.
As she was thinking about this, the auction started. The host took the stage, and the hall quieted down.
Celeste had already gone through the auction catalog in detail. She had her eye on a set of emerald jewelry and an embroidered painting by a renowned artist.
Which one she would actually bid on depended on the situation.
The auction began quickly.
Celeste was focused–if the item wasn’t something she wanted, she didn’t raise her paddle.
Meanwhile, neither Trevor nor Wynn had placed any bids either.
After a while, both Celeste and Lottie noticed that Wynn finally raised her paddle. She was bidding on a diamond bracelet.
It was a piece from a famous international designer, and just from the style, it was clear that the bracelet was meant for young women.
There was no doubt–this bracelet was something Trevor was buying for Wynn.
The starting bid was one and a half million. Wynn raised the paddle and immediately doubled it to three million. Other bidders followed, pushing it up to four million.
At that moment, Celeste noticed Wynn leaning toward Trevor, whispering something. Then, Wynn raised her paddle again and called out clearly in the hall, “Eight million.”
As soon as her voice rang out, the auction hall buzzed with commotion.
The bracelet was indeed a beautiful piece, but in terms of actual value, it wasn’t worth eight million. Even four million was already too much.
But Wynn seemed to really love it. And Trevor, being wealthy and extravagant, clearly didn’t want anyone else competing with Wynn–so he directly raised the bid to eight million.
Everyone was shocked–not just at how casually Trevor spent money, but also at how much he pampered Wynn.
It went just as expected. Once the eight million bid was placed, no one else dared to compete. Wynn successfully won the bracelet.
Lottie, green with envy, gritted her teeth. “This is giving me a toothache.”
Before Celeste could respond, the next round had already started.
A while later, an antique vase was brought onto the stage.
Wynn raised her paddle again.
The Starting bid was five million.
Other bidders were increasing in increments of half a million or one million. But when it was Wynn’s turn, she directly raised it to ten million.
The number of competitors immediately dropped. However the room was filled with wealthy people.
Chapter 111
Soon, a male voice chimed in, “15 million.”
Celeste turned to look. It was a young man with striking features.
“That’s Jorge Robinson,” Lottie whispered to her.
Celeste nodded slightly.
Wynn hesitated and turned to look at Trevor..
From this, both Celeste and Lottie could tell–Wynn really wanted this vase for herself.
It was only then that Celeste suddenly recalled–her paternal grandmother, Erin Nixon, had always been passionate about collecting antiques.
It wasn’t hard to guess that Wynn was bidding on this antique vase for her.
Trevor gave a slight nod, and Wynn raised her paddle again. “25 million.”
Jorge chuckled. “30 million.”
Wynn hesitated further, leaning in closer to Trevor, seemingly saying she wanted to give up.
But Trevor shook his head.
Wynn raised her paddle once more. “40 million.”
Jorge’s voice rang out again. “50 million.” After saying this, he smiled and glanced over to Trevor’s side.
Wynn frowned and whispered to Trevor, “Maybe… We should just forget it?”
50 million was simply too much.
