Free Web NovelChapter 989: Chapter 989: One Hundred Million
The second auction item was sold for a hundred thousand, and soon the third item was up.
It was a piece by a jewelry designer who graduated from Crestfall University.
It was a Blue Amber Necklace.
Amber is a transparent biological fossil, formed from tree resin that dripped down and was buried underground for millions of years, petrifying under pressure and heat, and Blue Amber is especially rare.
Besides the pendant itself being precious, the design of the necklace was extremely exquisite and breathtakingly beautiful.
And within that piece of amber was a petal of Black Rose.
One could imagine, anyone wearing it would undoubtedly attract countless eyes.
Summer Monroe had little interest in jewelry. She preferred convenience and rarely wore makeup, so she glanced at it and quickly looked away.
However, Willow Grant instantly took a liking to the necklace.
She truly felt that this necklace was designed for her!
After Principal Payne briefly introduced the designer and the necklace, he quickly announced, "The Blue Amber Necklace with Black Rose petal, starting bid, twenty million!"
Tonight’s charity event, besides the students’ parents, also invited many commercial elites who graduated from Crestfall University. Therefore, there were auction items ranging from tens of thousands to tens of millions, and this necklace was the item with the highest starting bid tonight.
Holly Holloway’s eyes also lit up upon seeing the necklace and she couldn’t help but exclaim, "What a beautiful necklace..."
"Hmm?" Summer Monroe turned to Holly Holloway and asked, "You like it?"
Feeling Summer Monroe’s "I’ll get it for you if you want" aura, Holly quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I just think it’s simply beautiful. Wearing such a necklace around my neck, I’d feel uncomfortable doing anything. This kind of necklace is better appreciated from a distance."
Summer Monroe confirmed, "You really don’t want it?"
Holly firmly shook her head, "I don’t want it!"
Although her family was doing alright, a twenty-million necklace was still too extravagant for her. Excessively luxurious items were a burden, and she didn’t want to own it, especially by having a good friend pay for it.
"Alright then." Summer Monroe smiled slightly, "I was going to say, if you liked it, I would have bid it for you."
Holly sweated, "Really, there’s no need."
Sitting in front, Willow Grant breathed a sigh of relief. Now, no one should be competing with her, right?
Though she wasn’t sure if Summer Monroe was just boasting or if she truly had twenty million, for some reason, whenever Summer Monroe got involved, Willow always lost, so when Summer backed off, her heart settled.
Thinking of this, Willow Grant decisively raised her auction paddle.
"Twenty-five million!"
She instantly added five million to signify to everyone her determination to win this necklace.
With that, many who initially had the inclination should now retreat willingly.
"Twenty-five million, is it?" Principal Payne was just about to seal the deal, but just then—
"One hundred million."
The venue was instantly shocked, followed by the sound of gasps.
A hundred million??
What kind of joke is this?
Everyone, including Summer Monroe, couldn’t help but turn towards the direction of the voice.
A tall and imposing figure was seen slowly advancing from the back door of the auditorium. Just then, a beam of light shone on him, revealing the man’s distinguished and slightly roguish face.
The man’s sensual thin lips slightly curved, the black ear stud at his ear emitted a strange light, making it impossible for anyone to ignore his presence.
Summer Monroe’s eyes focused, staring incredulously at the man’s face.
This man...
