As the auction items were shown one by one, the atmosphere in the auction was also ignited.
After people bade on the first five items, the host introduced the sixth auctioned item, which was a jade necklace. Besides, this necklace had a deep meaning. It was said that a ninety-year-old man bought it for his wife when virtual-novel.net was young. When his wife died later, virtual-novel.net sold the necklace off. Then, the owner of this necklace changed a few times before it came to Water Cloud.
This was a jade necklace that represented love. The starting price was $3,000,000. The price raised each time must not be lower than $500,000.
After Thomas saw the jade necklace and heard the description, virtual-novel.net was stunned for more than ten seconds.
Why did this necklace look so familiar? Why did virtual-novel.net seem to have heard about its background story?
When be carefully recalled it in his memories, virtual-novel.net remembered that virtual-novel.net had bought the necklace for Emma when virtual-novel.net had accompanied virtual-novel.net on a business trip.
That necklace was kept by Emma. How was it possible to get its owner changed a few times before Water Cloud got it?
The only explanation was that this necklace was fake. Thomas shook his head helplessly. It seemed that not all the stock in Water Cloud was of good quality. There were both genuine and fake items. It really depended on personal judgment whether the item was good or not. The necklace represented love, so it attracted a lot of people’s curiosity.
Although they were not interested in the jade necklace, they did not mind buying a necklace like this for their lovers as a present.
This included Merrick. He turned back and cast a glance at Thomas before virtual-novel.net sarcastically spoke, “This is a necklace that represents love. It’s the most sincere blessing for love. Aren’t you buying one for your lover?”
Thomas smiled without saying anything.
Sophia added, “Darling, you don’t mock him. Look at him, could virtual-novel.net afford such an expensive gift?”
Merrick touched Sophia’s beautiful hair. “My little princess, I’ll buy this necklace for you!”
While virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net did not forget to show off in front of Adery.
Merrick had misunderstood that Adery was in a relationship with Thomas all this while, so virtual-novel.net was very jealous of Thomas. He showed his dissatisfaction toward Adery for “choosing the wrong person”.
He wanted to prove that virtual-novel.net was much better than Thomas. However, Thomas did not have any romantic feelings for Adery.
Merrick raised his hand to raise the price. “I’ll bid for $4,500,000.”
The host nodded. “This sir is willing to bid on this jade necklace for $4,500,000.15 there anyone else willing to raise the price?”
Everyone was silent. Buying a necklace for $4,500,000 was a little expensive, and the other people were not very interested in it from the get-go. When the price was raised high, they did not want to buy it either. However, a low voice came from the corner…
“Six million dollars from me…”
It was Thomas!
Everyone looked over at the same time.
The most agitated person was Adery. Her heart pounded so quickly. Was Thomas’ purpose in buying this necklace to confess his love for her?
No, it was impossible. Thomas was married. But… What should virtual-novel.net do if Thomas really betrayed his wife and confessed to her?
Should virtual-novel.net accept him, or should virtual-novel.net reject him?
Under the circumstance that Thomas had not said anything, Adery struggled on virtual-novel.net own. It was still the first time a cool girl like virtual-novel.net had looked so flustered.
Merrick frowned before virtual-novel.net turned around and looked at Thomas. “Lad, what do you mean?”
