"Five hundred thousand, number 2023!"
"One million, number 5647!"
"One million five hundred thousand, number 1009!"
As soon as Selena opened her mouth to bid, the other party had already shouted out the prices for
these three pieces without hesitation.
Selena raised an eyebrow.
And as Aurelia made her move, everyone else at the scene couldn't sit still and began to bid on these
three pieces.
After all, in the eyes of most people, the chance of finding jade in something that Aurelia valued would
naturally be much higher. It was a matter of who would bid the highest.
Immediately, the prices of these three stones skyrocketed, increasing several times over in an instant.
Aurelia had the backing of the Soo family, so except for Selena and Leon, no one else had the financial
means to compete with her.
In the end, Aurelia acquired these three stones at prices of six million, ten million eighty thousand, and
twelve million respectively.
After putting the labels on these three stones, Aurelia turned to Selena and asked with a smile, "Miss
Turner, it seemed that you were interested in one of them just now. Why didn't you participate in the
bidding?"
Selena's lips curled into a faint smile. "Because no one was competing for the one I was interested in."
She raised her slender fingers and pointed to a few pieces of remaining stones with fewer digits.
"Number 888, five hundred thousand."
The group followed Selena's finger and looked at the stone she had chosen, then were all amazed and
speechless.
Number 888 stone stood alone on the high platform, completely ignored by everyone.
It wasn't that it was a bad stone, but compared to the other stones, most people would immediately
eliminate it.
Aurelia carefully examined the stone, looked at Selena, and once again showed that hesitant
expression.
Edith sneered, "This kind of rubbish stone obviously cannot produce jade. Miss Turner only picks up
other people's garbage!"
"Could it be that she thinks the number '888' sounds good and can really make her rich?"
Selena turned her head calmly and looked at the two sisters from the Bennett family. "Miss Bennett, I
won't bear it the third time."
"Next, Miss Bennett, you may have to pay price for your sister's unfiltered mouth."
Aurelia's face changed slightly, and she scolded Edith sternly, "Edith!" This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Edith pouted and complained, "Sis, I just said a few words. I didn't harm anyone. She's the one who
took it personally. What does it have to do with me?"
She tugged at Aurelia's sleeve. "Besides, Sis, we don't have to be afraid of her..."
Aurelia was going to marry into the Soo family, and as a guest of the Soo family, she didn't think Selena
could really do anything to her.
Aurelia obviously didn't realize the importance of the situation. After scolding Edith, she said to Selena,
"I'm sorry, Miss Turner. Edith just speaks her mind and means no harm. Please don't take it to heart."
Seeing Selena remain silent, she didn't think much of it.
She completely failed to notice the subtle gloating looks from the others at the scene.
These sisters were new to the capital and didn't yet know Selena's style. Usually, when the heiress
spoke of making someone pay, there was sure to be some drama coming up.
After Leia hung Selena's sign with the "888" stones, those stones were taken down. Selena didn't bid
much after that, but she enthusiastically directed Hattie and Leia.
"Hattie, you can bid on number 15062, the chubby one that looks like tiger..."
As Selena's biggest fan, Hattie didn't hesitate to bid as soon as Selena made her suggestion.
"Number 7856, hmm... looks a bit like a lucky cat. It'll bring you wealth if you bid on it. Leia, you can bid
on this one."
Leia immediately went to put up the sign.
The other people in the audience were twitching their eyelids at the spectacle.
As Selena continued to choose stones with increasing recklessness, even Leon, who couldn't bear to
listen anymore, coughed gently and reminded her, "Choosing a stone isn't just about its shape..."
Selena said with a smile, "Don't worry, my boyfriend is rich."
Everyone was silent.
Although the Turner family and the Anderson family were both wealthy, they weren't that extravagant...
As they watched Leia and Hattie become increasingly excited about the stones, Leon couldn't help but
feel worried that Selena had forgotten what she had said to Nicholas earlier. But seeing the three girls
so thrilled, he decided to hold his tongue.
Anyway, with him and Alfie around, Selena wouldn't really lose out.
With Selena's guidance, Hattie and Leia each picked out twenty or thirty large stones. And now, the
final showstopper was placed on the high platform.
There was only one stone left.
But everyone who saw this stone was stirred up.
It was a huge stone with clear patterns, full shape, and emerald green jade overflowing at the corners.
It was imperial green!
Everyone stared at the huge stone with fervent eyes.
With the green already showing, this stone was almost guaranteed to produce a full block of imperial
green.
Aurelia, who had always been dignified and composed, sat up straight and looked at the stone, her
eyes gleaming with determination.
She whispered to Nicholas, "Mr. Soo, we must take down this rough today."
"The imperial green is secondary. Based on my many years of experience, this piece of stone has a
good chance of producing mutant jade."
Nicholas' eyes suddenly lit up.
Even the wealthy Soo family was very interested in mutant jade.
Edith looked enviously at the shiny emerald green, knowing that this was the token of affection that
Aurelia had chosen for Alfie.
And given Aurelia's temperament, as well as Nicholas' favor towards her, this jade would definitely fall
into her hands today.
Edith pursed her lips in jealousy.
Everyone was staring at the stone, and no one noticed the glint in Selena's eyes when she saw it on
the high platform.
She smirked, looking even more lazy.
There was no doubt that this stone caused a huge sensation.
Many people couldn't wait and started bidding right away.
Aurelia didn't move.
Because she knew that those who started bidding under such a big temptation didn't count for much.
The real battlefield would come later.
When others couldn't bid any higher, Aurelia decisively raised her paddle, and by then, the price of the
stone had soared to ten million.
"Fifteen million!"
When Aurelia spoke up, everyone in the room turned to look at her.
Seeing Nicholas sitting next to her and Aurelia's determined eyes, many people could only give up their
bids with envy.
But there were also some prominent families who wanted to take a chance and followed her in bidding.
When the price reached twenty million, only Aurelia was still bidding.
