“What about Miss Petrov?? You’re not contributing to charity as Young Master Lu’s fiancée?”
Miss Petrov?? Fiancee?? EMILY?! The person next to Young Master Lu was Emily?!
Everyone’s impression of Emily was still stuck at that stammering and hesitant person with a thick fringe covering half her face, so when they heard Henry’s words, they all gasped.
All the women present were even more jealous now! Emily was actually so pretty! Was that why Young Master Lu treated her differently now??
The host looked at Emily for help – he didn’t want to continue but Henry was obviously forcing it to happen, and his back was already drenched with sweat.
Henry laughed coldly and continued, “Or the whole thing about Young Master Lu liking Miss Petrov is not real after all?? Miss Petrov can’t even come up with one thing to auction off??”
Emily looked at Ethan with some confusion as she realized that most of the women present had an additional small box in hand, so obviously this was a common practice.
Ethan cast a quick glance at her necklace as a hint – he had already prepared this beforehand and wasn’t going to let Henry trip them up!!
Emily looked down at the necklace on herself, and started to undo it.
Henry mockingly said, “Miss Petrov, don’t tell me you’re going to put up something that’s not worth much money??”
Emily paused for a while, but Ethan whispered, “Don’t worry.”
Her necklace was no ordinary ruby necklace. This necklace was a present from the western world to the royal palace back in the Ming dynasty!
Its historical value was higher than its actual value, but there were plenty of professional appraisers on hand to certify its value, so she wouldn’t be embarrassed at all. Besides, auctioning such an item would increase her reputation.
The host’s voice quivered as he said, “It’s alright, it’s the thought that counts, the value doesn’t really matter, Miss Petrov, please.”
He stretched out his hand and the spotlight fell on Emily. Ethan smiled as he watched her get up and walk towards the stage, her silver grey long dress catching the light and shimmering like a cloud of smoke, like a scene from the Milky Way, elegant yet intricate in beauty.
When she got to the front, the host impatiently waited for her to remove her necklace. All he could think of was how he wanted to quickly finish this event and get out of this scary place! He could feel that the Thompsons already had their eye on him!
Emily looked up and saw the crowd staring at her. Besides her, there was probably no other woman who dared to come up and auction their item off.
Ethan was still seated comfortably on his maroon sofa, a glass of red wine in hand and smiling in support.
His look was definitely above average, and his actions revealed his upper class upbringing, as if he were a prince who walked out of a palace, as if he was born with a natural aura.
He said he liked her.
Emily could feel how much effort he had put into her, but these feelings didn’t make sense. In her previous life, he hated her so much and even got engaged to Chloe, so did his feelings change so easily??
When she thought about how Chloe was returning soon, and thought some more about how she had liked Ethan for more than twenty years with no reciprocation, she had no more energy left to get further entangled in this relationship and wanted to get as far away from it as possible.
After much thought, instead of the necklace, she removed the jade thumb ring from her hand and put it on the auction table.
In the silence of the auction hall, there was the sound of a glass smashing to pieces. Ethan had smashed the glass of red wine in his hands and the wine was all over him!
Ethan pushed away Kevin who had rushed over to bandage his hands. He couldn’t believe what Emily had done! He glared at her – how dare she?!
The host did not know anything about this ring and was about to call an appraiser over, but before he said anything, a lady from the crowd asked loudly, “Is that the token from the first mistress of the Lu family?!”
That token??
There was an uproar in the hall, especially among the women! So it was that thumb ring, the one that could only be worn by the mistress of the Lu family?!
Emily did not look at Ethan and nodded, “Yes it is.”
Ethan felt like it was his turn to puke blood. Weren’t they still on good terms earlier?? Why was Emily taking out their token of engagement now??
This was the first time in his life that he felt sheer disappointment and pain. He opened his mouth but couldn’t bear to say anything to hurt her.
All the women couldn’t care less about Henry anymore, and started to ask excitedly, “So does that mean that if I get this ring, I’ll be engaged to Young Master Lu?!”
All of them were deliriously staring at Emily now!
Emily hesitated for a moment and somebody else asked another question.
“How much is this token going for?? I’m getting it even if it bankrupts me!”
Ethan glared straight at Emily, his upbringing not allowing him to scream and shout in public. He wanted to see if Emily was really bold enough to auction this ring off!
Emily was already mentally prepared for the excitement from the crowd. She wasn’t worried that this ring would land in anybody else’s hands – she just wanted to tell Ethan very clearly that she didn’t want to marry him at all, not a single bit!
So when she saw Ethan’s angry expression, she suddenly smiled.
“Starting from 10 million!”
She had the guts!!
Before Ethan could say anything, a woman immediately called out, “1 billion!”
What an exciting auction it was! The bid price went from 10 million to 1 billion immediately!
But of course, a billion was nothing.
Immediately someone else shouted, “2 billion!” and another “3 billion!” and the bids couldn’t stop going up, the crowd’s passion was shooting through the roof.
Ethan couldn’t stand it anymore and suddenly he pushed the small table in front of him to the floor.
“LET’S SEE WHO THE HELL STILL DARES TO BID!!”
