Annabelle still did not understand.
Oriana raised her hand and rested it on her forehead. She had already guessed that this secret book was not something serious.
“Mummy, stop, don’t spoil Aunty Annabelle,”
Oriana told her to stop.
Joyce blinked charmingly, and then she laughed. “It’s not me who broke the gem, it’s that old fox, Alpha.”
At this moment, there was a commotion, and someone shouted, “Look over there!”
Oriana, joyce and Anabelle looked up and saw that the door of the auction was suddenly pushed open, as a familiar figure walked in.
Today, Damien wore a black suit, a black a business vest and a white shirt. It was a formal and classic outfit. He was outstanding. He had just come over from a high-level business meeting. The noble and powerful aura that flowed from his body instantly attracted everyone’s attention like a magnet.
Behind Damien was his personal secretary, Reuben.
Why was Damien here?
Joyce had not seen Damien since the last time they went apart at the clubhouse.
“Oriana, why is your father here? He also came to buy something?”
Joyce asked Oriana.
Oriana’s bright eyes stared at the entrance of the hall, she watched as the manager of the auction house rushed over to Damien.
She was afraid that her father didn’t come to buy anything. Her father should be the owner of the auction house.
Oriana saw through everything, but she looked at her mother and said,
“Mummy, I don’t know why daddy is here.”
Oriana told a small lie.
Joyce did not pay much attention to him. “Forget it, I don’t care about him. As long my plan, Oriana, Annabelle, let’s sit in that box.”
Joyce pointed to the luxurious room next to Eleanor and Franklin.
She doesn’t ruin
Eleanor and Franklin also saw Damien. Everyone could see a man who appeared in such dazzlingly manner.
Eleanor and Franklin’s eyes lit up. Over the years, the dignity of Damien, the son of the imperial capital, had always been unsurpassed.
Upon their arrival, Eleanor and Franklin first met Deacon, and now, they met Damien.
Eleanor and Franklin instantly regretted not having more daughters!
Franklin and Eleanor looked at Joyce who was beside Oriana.
“You cheap vixen,”
Eleanor said irritatingly to Joyce.
Who was she calling her a vixen?
Joyce looked at them, and then she smiled, and responded, “Thank you for the compliment!”
“Oriana, isn’t that couple the parents of Naomi?”
Joyce asked Oriana in a low voice.
Oriana didn’t wonder how her mother knew about them. After all, Nathan often stayed with Joyce and would definitely tell her everything he knew.
“Yes, they are.”
Oriana nodded.
Joyce similed, “That’s interesting. I’ll tease them later.”
Oriana calmly observed a two seconds silence for Eleanor and Franklin. Oriana knew that since Joyce had them in mind, they would definitely experience a taste of her medicine.
The auction officially started. The host stood on the stage and started auctioning off the items.
Oriana held up a sign of two hundred thousand.
The heroic voice of Eleanor and Franklin quickly sounded from the next room. They robbed Oriana of the agate stone for three hundred thousand dollars.
Eleanor and Franklin were quite arrogant now. Infact, they really didn’t have need for the item that they bid, but they just that to crush Oriana.
Franklin said. “This Oriana is nothing but boss Armstead’s old lover. She must not be richer than us.”
Eleanor agreed. “That’s right, we’ll use money to crush her, and make her disheartened!”
In the luxurious room next door, when Oriana saw Eleanor and Franklin holding a placard, she said to Annabelle,
“Aunty Annabelle, forget it, let’s give this agate stone to the next door. It’s just that, I felt that this agate stone really suit grandma’s temperament very well. But I think that three hundred thousand is too much for it, so I can’t increase the price.”
Annabelle also had a cold temperament. She nodded and said, “Okay.”
At this moment, Joyce said, “Wait a minute, give me the sign, I’ll play.”
“Mummy, what do you want to do?”
Oriana obediently handed the sign to Joyce.
Joyce blinked her eyes beautifully, then raised her sign, “Four hundred thousand.”
Four hundred thousand dollars?
Four hundred thousand dollars to buy a piece of agate stone, isn’t this too much of a loss?
Oriana quickly grabbed onto
Joyce’s sleeve and shook her head, in an attempt to dissuade her
At this moment, when Eleanor and Franklin next door heard that the price had increased, they quickly raised their cards and said, “Five hundred
Joyce pushed Oriana away, “Eight hundred.”
Eight hundred?
The entire audience were stunned. Everyone’s eyes swept over to see who the person would actually spend eight hundred thousand on a piece of agate.
Eleanor and Franklin were a little hesitant when they heard the new price. After all, their standard of living had only just changed, and there was no shortage of stones in the mountains.
“Do we want to increase the price?”
Eleanor asked Franklin secretly.
Franklin’s face was flushed red. He was quite agitated. He had already pushed to this point, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he backed out now?
Franklin immediately held up the sign and shouted, “One million.”
Wow.
The audience was in an uproar.
At this moment, on the second floor of the auction hall, Damien stood tall and noble at the carved railing. He looked down at Franklin and Eleanor.
“Boss, that couple is Naomi’s parents. Naomi is a little girl who recently just appeared beside Deacon,”
Damien’s private secretary, Reuben, reported in a low voice.
Damien placed one hand in his trousers pocket and did not utter a word.
“Boss, do we want to teach that couple a little lesson? Reuben asked.
The private secretary felt that Eleanor and Franklin were playing with fire. They dared to bully the daughter of the richest man in the world, weren’t they playing with fire?
“No need, didn’t you see that someone was already teaching them a lesson?”
Damien said in a low voice.
Who?
Who was teaching that couple a lesson?
Damien’s eyes slowly fell on Joyce in the room next door. Recently, he was busy with official business and hadn’t settled with her yet.
The last time, she had teased him in the clubhouse, he wanted to find her to settle their dispute.
Franklin and Eleanor had already bid one million, and Oriana was stunned. Who was it that gave them the confidence to bid?
“Enough, mommy, don’t hold up any more cards. I don’t have any money.”
Oriana reminded Joyce. Joyce raised her hand and stroked the hair beside her cheeks. Then, she threw the sign to Oriana.
Oriana understood that Joyce did it on purpose. It was too bad for Joyce to lose the agate stone to the next door neighbor.
Eleanor and Franklin were still waiting for them to increase the price.
