Bella’s almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly. Then she rolled her eyes.

Justin’s handsome face darkened when he saw Ryan flirting with his ex-wife.

“Bro, how was my performance just now?”

Ryan returned to his seat next to Justin with a bright smile and nudged him with his elbow.

“Good.”

Justin glared at Ryan and added, “If you do that again, I will chop you to pieces.”

Ryan looked dejected. “Bro, what did I do now? You’re more temperamental than all my

girlfriends combined!”

Soon, the first auction item was displayed on the stage. It was a landscape painting from

the

Renaissance. It was intricate, but since the painter was not well-known, the base price was

set at $1 million.

Justin did not have much interest in historical relics, but he was familiar with them

because of his grandfather’s influence.

He could tell at a glance that this painting was the same as the one in his grandfather’s

studio.

Nigel had the original painting, so this one from the Platinum Auction House should be a

replica with exquisite craftsmanship.

There was a big difference between replicas and fakes. However, it was not unheard of for

high- quality replicas to be auctioned off at high prices. But surely, one would rather buy

the original work than a replica.

“$1.5 million!”

“$2 million!”

“$3 million!”

Just as the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, a crisp yet gentle voice sounded.

“$5 million.” Bella slowly raised her paddle.

Everyone glanced at this mysterious and beautiful woman in surprise.

Justin looked at Bella’s beautiful side profile and felt suspicious.

First of all, this painting was not worth $3 million, let alone $5 million.

Secondly, Anna had been spending time with Nigel for so long. She usually helped Nigel

take care of his rare treasures, antiques, and paintings. Thus, she would certainly be

aware that the original piece was with Nigel. Why would she spend an unreasonable

amount of money to bid for this replica?

“$6 million!”

Everyone turned their attention to the back of the hall.

Rosalind held up her bidding paddle, as if she were afraid that people would not be able to

see her.

She could not tolerate Anna stealing the show and wanted to snatch the limelight back

from her.

“$7 million.” Bella calmly raised her paddle again.

“$8 million!” Rosalind followed, shouting so loudly that the people around her looked at

her.

Jean was nervous. She had never participated in such a high-profile auction. How could a

painting be sold for $7 million in just a blink of an eye? This was also the first auction item.

Was Rosalind not interested in the other items?

“Mom, should we bid for it too?” Bethany was a little upset that Rosalind was showing off

and asked Shannon in a low voice.

“They’re our relatives, so let’s not fight with them.”

Shannon had been to many such auctions, so she knew that the good things would be left

to the end.

“$9 million.” Bella raised the paddle again, determined not to give up until she won the

bid.

Jean’s blood pressure went up.

She did not have such a high budget to spend on Nigel’s birthday gift. Her heart was

already bleeding.

“$10 million!” Rosalind raised her paddle again. She was getting excited.

Everyone was in an uproar.

Ryan laughed. “This is the first item to be auctioned, and it’s not that valuable, yet we

sold it for this amount. I’m making such a big profit! Justin, do you think I should thank

your ex-wife or your future wife?”

Justin’s hands were intertwined on his lap. His thin lips were tightly pressed together, and

his face was gloomy.

“Rose, stop bidding for it if Anna raises the price. $10 million is too much!” Jean persuaded

Rosalind. She was so nervous that her hands were sweaty.

Bella’s eyes were gleaming with joy. She was about to raise her paddle but thought better

of it and put it down again.

“$10 million! Congratulations to Ms. Gold for getting this painting!”

Rosalind’s face was bright red. She was smiling proudly, feeling that she had won and

overshadowed that bitch.

However, Jean’s eyes turned dark. She could not bring herself to smile.

At this moment, Steven, who was outside, had a panoramic view of the hall through his

phone.

He thought, ‘Oh, Bella. You tricked Rosalind into paying nine times the price for a replica!

Bella really understands how that bitch’s mind works!’
