"I had no choice but to go to Quartz Residence and end up having Sienna kick me out."Titus was also embarrassed to mention the awkward incident.After all, he was the heir of the Lake family. Having a lady kick him out of her house when he went to ask for her hand would make him a joke if word about it got out."Haha..."Willow, who was whispering aside, burst out laughing.If it were anyone else, Titus would have flipped the table, but it was Willow, Sean's fiancée, and he was too scared to say anything.He could only sit aside, looking awkward."Willow, let me tell you, my cousin went to Quartz Residence to ask for Sienna's hand before!"Winnie tried to fan the flames by telling Willow about Titus' embarrassing past.Willow's melodious laugh echoed throughout the private room. Sean chuckled and shook his head.The auction officially began as they talked and laughed.The first thing to come up for auction was a painting by a modern artist.The prices of paintings would on

Dicky and Mr. Lockhart were making themselves fools by fighting for Sienna's attention here.Perhaps understanding that Sienna did not want to pay him any more attention, Dicky sat down dispiritedly.Sienna then had someone bring up the second auction item—a trinket worth about the same as the painting. Its starting bid was 200 thousand.Perhaps the competition between Dicky and Mr. Lockhart made everyone come to their senses. This time, no one increased the price too much. Eventually, the second auction item sold for 400 thousand dollars.After that, there were eight auctions, none of which were anything valuable. The highest value was the tenth auction item, which went to a middle-aged man for 3 million dollars.As for the other nine auction items, nothing sold for more than a million dollars besides the first painting.The 11th auction item was a half-arm-length vase, which Sienna said originated from the Early Middle Ages."The starting bid is 30 million!"Sienna spoke calm

Sienna's voice rang again, signaling that the auction of the pink diamond had officially begun."Five hundred million!"Just after Sienna finished speaking, Sean's voice came from Private Room 1.He raised the price by 400 million in one go."Damn. Whose heir is in Private Room 1? First, he won the Early Middle Ages vase for 150 million, and now he's offering 500 million!""Judging from his voice, he's probably young. Many families in Ocean City can afford 500 million. I wonder who's in Private Room 1...""Hehe, whoever he is, this pink diamond has nothing to do with us anyway. We didn't come to this auction in vain if we saw something worth hundreds of millions of dollars being auctioned off!"...There was a flurry of discussion as everyone wondered who was in Private Room 1.However, there were several families with assets of tens of billions in Ocean City. There were even three families with assets of more than 100 billion. For a moment, it was difficult to determine who w

Willow looked seriously at Private Room 6 and asked solemnly, "Private Room 6, are you sure you want to offer 2 billion?""Of course! Are you worried I won't be able to pay Winter Green Auction House?"Sebastian pretended to be calm as he answered flatly.Two billion already far exceeded the Yaleton family's liquidity.As the heir of the Yaleton family, Sebastian knew his family best.The Yaleton family could not afford 1.5 billion easily, let alone 2 billion.Although the Yaleton family's assets exceeded 10 billion, their fixed assets made up the majority. Their liquidity was no more than 1 billion at most.He was betting that Sean would not give up easily when Sean bid so high."Private Room 6, you're joking. Winter Green Auction House trusts you, of course."Sienna said with a polite smile.Then, Sebastian ignored Sienna and targeted Sean again."I wonder if Private Room is going to continue bidding. If you don't, I'm going to win the pink diamond!"Sebastian's joy-tinge

Sean glanced at him, smiled, and said, "Titus, you know too little about the human heart."Even if I offer 5 billion, Sebastian will still raise the price. Do you believe me?"Hearing that, Titus paused and shook his head in disbelief."Sean, if that guy gives up, are you really going to spend 5 billion on this pink diamond?"Willow asked suddenly, looking worried.She could accept 1 billion to 1.5 billion.However, she did not want Sean to waste so much money for no reason.All three people in Private Room 1 looked at Sean with a stunned expressions to get him to give up the pink diamond."Haha, have you guys forgot?"I only need to give Jadon a call. Even if I ask for 20 billion, he won't refuse to give me the money!"Sean said, shaking his head and smiling.Sebastian was gambling, but not Sean.Firstly, he had saved the life of Jadon, the head of the Quartz family.Secondly, the Quartz family was now tied to him. There was no way they would risk their relationship with
