Chapter 1139
Irene grabbed her brother and asked softly, “How much money is that?”
Adrian swallowed and replied softly, “Enough to buy a couple of the houses we live in now.”
“Wow, so rich!” Irene’s eyes were gleaming.
“2.25 million.”
The host was a little stunned. The bids were so extravagant? What capricious men!
“Sir, it’s just a drawing. Why don’t we forget it? It’s not worth it.” Silas bent to advise.
Conrad did not understand why he was so angry either. He raised the bidding paddle and shouted, “3 million!”
“Pfft!” Fia laughed.
Conrad looked at her at a loss.
She waved her hand. “Nothing, nothing. Just go on bidding.”
A drawing she drew when she was bored fishing, a casual drawing, was worth 3 million?
They were really rich!
“Mr. Evans, there isn’t a need.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJason’s secretary advised him earnestly with a worried expression, fearing that he would end up in a confrontation
with others.
Jason lowered his gaze and tossed the bidding paddle to his secretary.
He sincerely wanted to oppose Conrad. Even though Conrad had lost his memory and didn’t remember anything,
he wanted to stand against him!
It was just a painting. It wasn’t worth three million!
Conrad, who had lost his memory, was a complete fool!
He had become a puppet under Beryl’s control and didn’t even realize it!
The next item up for auction was a sapphire necklace that, when placed on the stage, reflected a charming light.
The host said, “This is a sapphire necklace passed down from the British royal princess. Each gemstone is flawless,
and it is cool in summer and warm in winter when you wear it around your neck. There’s only one of its kind in the
world.”
Fia lounged casually, raising the bidding paddle in response to the announcement, joining the competition with
others.
Surprisingly, both Conrad and Jason, who had just fiercely fought over a painting, showed no interest. Neither of
them had someone to give such an item to.
As the bidding progressed, the price continued to rise, leaving only two or three people and Fia contending for the
necklace.
Conrad looked at her. “I can help you.”
Fia held up the bidding paddle and smiled provocatively. “That won’t be necessary. I can buy it myself.”
With those words, she tapped Conrad’s face lightly with the paddle, displaying an air of disdain.
Silas froze, his entire body stiff, not daring to make a sound.
He was afraid that Conrad would get angry!
However, there was no anger forthcoming.
The bidding paddle had already left his face, but he stared at Fia in a daze, a baffling feeling growing in his heart.
It felt like sadness, yet like delight.
It was as if something was being summoned from the bottom of his heart.
“Ms. Sia, did we know each other in the past?”
Fia’s gaze was on the sapphire necklace and hearing this, her
gaze narrowed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIrene and Adrian put their heads together and muttered softly.
“Adrian, do you think Mister recognizes Mommy?”
“He shouldn’t have. At most he might just have suspicions.” Adrian looked up, craning his neck to take a look at
Conrad, then leaned in with Irene and said, “No, he doesn’t seem to recognize Mommy.”
Irene turned her head to take a look too. “He looks bewildered, like he’s stumped by something?”
Fia ignored Conrad, standing up and raising the bidding paddle. “3 million!”
The person in front had bid 450,000, thinking that Fia might add a couple of thousands, and he could then raise it
even more, but he didn’t expect her to stand up and bid such a big number.
Even if it was an heirloom from a royal princess, no matter how valuable it was, it was just to be worn around the
neck. Three million was an overpriced sum for an average person!
The host was astonished. He had thought this necklace would be the hardest to drive up the price for.
After all, people nowadays were hesitant to bid on foreign items.
“It’s not worth it.” Conrad disregarded their past differences and reminded Fia, hoping she’d take the opportunity
before the person-in-charge confirmed the price.
However, Fia smirked coldly and repeated. “Three million!”
He wanted to buy her painting for three million? She wouldn’t accept a penny of his money!
