Chapter 208
The items sold at the auction were often jewelry and ancient artifacts.
Cece watched with interest and grew increasingly excited as the guests bid fortheir desired item.
"Vicky, I never knew that a flask of perfume could be sold for millions! Is it special in any way?"
Very often than not, items to be sold at an auction would be announced ahead of time to attract
bidders.
Vicky glanced through the pages of the catalog and said, "Legend has it that this perfume was made by
the mysterious fragrance expert, Y. Its scent is said to be out of this world and addictive, so a lot of
companies that sell perfumes came for it, wanting to analyze the components of it and recreate the
fragrance. If they manage to recreate the recipe, they'll earn thousands of millions with it."
Cece gasped in realization. "I'm too short-sighted. Here I thought that they were buying it for their own
use."
The flask was small and contained only 50 milliliters, which would not have lasted long if one was to

After the perfume, items just as jade were sold, and soon, the auction was nearing its end.
Mister Kirby remained seated lazily and watched quietly.
Tyler, on the other hand, who was in a different room, had not made any bid so far as well until the host
presented the last item: a bracelet.
The host first changed into a new pair of white gloves, which he had done for each item.
He carefully removed the bracelet from its box and introduced it. "This bracelet was named 'eternity'
and was designed by the famous jeweler, Muses, for his late wife... This is his best and last work,
which symbolizes eternal love. We’ve chased this bracelet down after tremendous effort and kept this
as the key item of this auction."
The host began to go into detail about the material used for the bracelet and the skills used in making
it.
Vicky stared at the screen inside the room which showed the zoomed-in details of the bracelet.
Though extravagant in some ways, the bracelet did not contain complicated patterns. Decorated with
black diamonds that scattered across the curves of the bracelet, it shone subtly in a majestic manner.
It was not at all impressive or unique at first glance, but one would sense how uncommon it was after
looking at it for a while.
Cece's eyes widened. "It's such a beautiful bracelet! It'll match any clothing or purse.’
Just then, the introduction of the bracelet ended and the host continued with a smile, "I'm sure that
everyone is anxiously waiting for the bidding to start, so let's begin. The starting price for this bracelet is
seven million and each bid must be fifteen thousand or higher!"
Cece gasped. "The starting price is seven million, and each bid must be fifteen thousand or higher...
My goodness! Is that bracelet worth that much?"
All the other items were sold at the highest price of tens of thousands.
Some had no requirements on the bid that followed, while some required each bid to be one thousand
or higher, yet the bracelet started off at the price of a whopping seven million.
The bid immediately began and someone from the audience called out," Ten million!"

Cece was shocked once again and thought to herself, 'It's going up to ten million right off the bat? Just
how high will this go? It's just a bracelet!'
"Thirteen million!’
"Fourteen million!"
"Fifteen million!"
The bracelet was unique enough to be the spotlight item of the auction, so there were a good number
of guests who came for it.
Soon, the bidding price of the bracelet reached 21 million, and the number of bidders was reduced by
half.
After all, it was a bracelet that symbolized love and was a perfect gift for one’s partner, not an item with
increasing value like jades and other gemstones. Though all the guests in the auction came from a
wealthy background, they were no fools.
A few minutes went by, and the price shot up to 35 million.
"Any other bidder?" the host asked.
Silence fell over the hall as there was only a number of people who were still interested in the bracelet.
