Reborn Wife

Chapter 53 

As for Olivia, after she said the opening remark, the ritual girls carefully placed a transparent glass cabinet full of jewelry on the exhibition stand.

Everyone could clearly see the gorgeous phoenix hairpin, which carried a historical aura and classical charm, under the illumination of the lights and the display on the large screen.

It was elegant and exquisite.

However, when these distinguished guests saw this, they appeared to be uninterested.

For them, it had no meaning it was a completely useless artifact.

Someone sneered, "Is that it?"

His expression was full of contempt.

Standing on the stage, Olivia ignored those words and continued what she was talking about.

"This phoenix hairpin came from a nameless empire that vanished into history a thousand years ago.This phoenix hairpin belongs to a female general who is as strong as a man and as powerful as the golden gothic horse.Unfortunately" she stepped forward as she explained in a soft voice.

"The general was killed in over a hundred battles while leading the army against their rival empire.But after she died, the prince, who was deeply loyal to her that ascended the throne, swore an oath on this phoenix hairpin.That he would soon accompany the beauty to sleep with her forever.Therefore, this hairpin is also the signature of their love and sacrifice"

And the scene she described seemed to reoccur in front of everyone's eyes.

The guests seemed to finally acknowledge the female general and the prince's loneliness under the empty night sky as if they were longing for each other's warmth.

Perhaps presenting it to the men would not affect them much, but the women in the venue who came all the way were all touched.

Upon hearing the tragic story, they couldn't help but sigh with pain within their hearts.

Some were envious of the prince's undying love for the female general.

With a hint of overweening ambition, several young and charming women pushed their men's hands, saying, "Darling, don't you want to give me a token of your love? Would you buy that hairpin for me?"

However, upon hearing that the phoenix hairpin was sold for 600,000 dollars, the men immediately refused, saying, "No! I don't want it to! It's too costly for such a pin.’

Looking at the expressions of these men could tell that whoever spent money over a hairpin was being unreasonable.

Olivia sighed.

Good thing, she was already prepared for nothing.

However, despite its price, someone was willing to buy it.

That person was Bruce! "Wrap it up and I'll buy it."

He said softly without thinking twice about it.

"Is this how rich families spend their money?" someone said in surprise.

The rest of the men at the venue were shaking their heads in disbelief.

‘It was pointless” they thought.

There were so many antiques in the convention that was worth the money, but the master of the Tucker Clan ignored it all, yet he said that he would buy an expensive hair clip for a woman.

‘‘Why would he buy it? Is it possible that he already has a girlfriend?’’ With that question in mind, everyone in the venue started looking at each other's eyes.

They were looking for answers they couldn't seem to find.

However, Bruce remained calm as usual.

He completely ignored the gossip.

He didn't even lift his eyelids and just bought it without hesitation.

Then the eighth jewelry appeared.

It was a rare pink diamond bracelet, and no woman could even resist its lovely pieces of jewelry.

The delicate diamonds looked stunning when illuminated by the lights.

Also, there a few large rare pink diamonds decorated the small, simple but elegant design.

Most importantly, it was unique in the world! The pink diamond on the bracelet was a rare diamond that was sold at auction last year.

It weighed only three carats and had already been sold for 50 million dollars.

After a year of developing such a one-of-a-kind bracelet and having it designed by an internationally renowned designer, the price of this pink diamond doubled and now cost a 100 million dollars! Hearing the price, even the wealthy and influential people were shocked and left dumbfounded.

"isn't it just a stone? Who's going to buy it for 100 million dollars?"

"I don't believe someone would definitely it!"

"Such a waste"

However, because Bruce had given everyone an all-around wealthy posture, many people looked at him with sparkling in their eyes filled with curiosity.

"Is he going to buy it?"

Bruce, who was dressed in a black and white suit, looked at Olivia.

He curled his lips and casually said, "I want it"

Those three words left everyone dumbfounded.

"I wonder if he's talking about the bracelet or a person?" said one of the women in the venue.

Olivia was shocked, but luckily, she managed to maintain her professional fake smile while looking at Bruce.

"All right,"

she said after taking a deep breath, "the bracelet is now yours.’

However, a beautiful young lady stood up.She smiled and said, "Sorry, Mr.Tucker, but I want this bracelet as well.So I'll add one million dollars and will take it"

Rather than saying that the girl wanted to raise the bid price, it was more likely that she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to grab Bruce's attention and create an impressive image.

Moreover, this girl was none other than LC City's most prominent real estate tycoon, North Lauren.

She had a distinguished family background and was the only daughter of Lauren's family.

She always had that intention towards Bruce, taking the initiative to strike up a conversation in many public places.

But even though Miss Lauren had taken the initiative to pursue him, she had never been able to come into contact with this cold, mysterious, and unfathomable man.

At this moment, North stood out.

Despite the fact that she was facing the opposite direction, her affectionate eyes made the guests feel like they knew what to expect.

"It is time for Bruce to have a wife like Miss Lauren!"

"Who wouldn't be jealous of such a wealthy bachelorette like her?"

If the Tucker Clan would marry Lauren Clan, they could auction off the necklace so that Bruce could give it to North.

This way, not only would she be able to resolve the current awkwardness, she would also be able to restore her beauty and dignity.

However, everyone's calculations were wrong because Bruce was never the kind of person who would face others.

He didn't even look at North and directly spat out, "Two hundred million dollars.Everyone was dumbfounded.”

"Holy shit!"

"Mr.Tucker is truly inhumane!"

"He did not hesitate even if he threw two hundred million dollars for the bracelet!"

If the other party would add another million for the bracelet, Bruce wouldn't be bothered to add another hundred million.

Since, he had the ability to add a large sum of money.

Not to mention, Olivia even took a deep breath in surprise.

It was indeed an unexpected bid.

North's face was suddenly becoming red in anger.

With Bruce's bid, it was clear that he didn't have the intention of giving the lady any bit of his attention.

If she dared to bet and continued to increase the price, Bruce would not hesitate to add an astronomical price of 1 billion dollars just like that.

Under everyone's teasing and prying stares, North was so angry that she almost cried out and turned around to leave.

No one dared to continue the bid.

So, in the end, the bracelet belonged to Bruce.

When Olivia was about to get off the stage, she was blocked by Bruce.

"Mr.Tucker, your things will be packed in a while.Our people from the Treasure Pavilion will send the items to you."

Olivia had a professional fake smile on her face, but her heart was beating loudly like drums.

‘‘Why is this man so close to me? Am I exposed?’’

But before Olivia could even figure out what she was going to do, he saw Bruce take the bracelet off from her hand.

"If there's any strange item, remember to keep it for me next time.’’ Olivia just nodded her head politely and then slipped backstage.

Today was indeed the proof of Olivia's possession of heaven-defying luck, which nearly caused the masters, who were waiting for her to fail, to explode in anger.

They auctioned off all kinds of antiques professionally and only sold them for 80 million dollars but the amount sold by Olivia was double the amount they got.

If they had known sooner, they shouldn't have deliberately made things difficult for the girl. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Today's harvest was great! It was even more surprisingly than he expected.

Mr.Herman was glad and did not regret hiring Olivia as the Treasure Pavilion’s new appraiser.

He happily turned around to Olivia and complimented her on her first day, and he did not hesitate to draw 65 million dollars from a total of 220 million dollars they earn and gave it right away to her in accordance with the 30% commision they had agreed to.

"Thank you, Mr.Herman!" said Olivia.

Olivia happily transferred the money to Nicholas while hiding in the bathroom.

This time, the company might be able to hang on for a little longer.

After changing her clothes and getting her make-up done, Olivia walked out with a bright smile on her face.

But as soon as she walked out of the bathroom, she saw Bruce leaning against the wall.

He looked at her with a faint smile and said, "So happy, you found the money?"
