Jack Long looked at Cynthia Sanchez's scheming smile and said to Lolo Sue, "Are you full? If you're full, let's go to the hall and the auction will begin."
Lolo Sue nodded. "I'm full."
"Okay, then let's go!" Jack Long finished. He reached his hand across the table to hold Lolo Sue's hand. Lolo Sue said to Cynthia, "Excuse us." Then they walked out of the aisle hand in hand.
While Cynthia Sanchez was awkward, she couldn't get off the stage. She bit her lip and her eyes flashed with resentment. Didn't Lolo Sue even bother to be her friend? When did she humbly beg someone to be her friend?
It seemed that this Lolo Sue had really ignored her!
"What's so amazing? Isn't it because of being loved by Jack Long?" Cynthia Sanchez drank a glass of wine. At this moment, when a man came to accompany her, she stared at him coldly. Then she took the lead to leave.
In the hall, tonight's highlight auction was about to begin. Cynthia Sanchez was very angry at Lolo Sue today. She could not help but ask a good friend to bid for her. Since Jack Long liked the pearls, then she wouldn't let him get it easily. She wanted to see how much this man could pay for Lolo Sue. For her, no matter how high her price was, she would count
in her family's charity company in the end. She could only make a fake account at most.
But she definitely wouldn't make it easy for Jack Long to get this string of pearls.
The guests also finished their dinner and arrived in the hall one after another. Jack Long and Lolo Sue sat at the first table, and Lolo Sue lowered her head to flip through the brochure. She turned to the page of the string of pearls. It was indeed the rare and perfect pearl necklace in the world. Each pearl was full of luster, and there was a kind of beautiful pink diamond in the middle, which was fashionable.
Lolo Sue really liked this string of pearls. This was donated by her mother.
Alright, the auction was also about to be at a tense moment. The host came on stage and first introduced the ten treasures, each of which had its own unique value. And many of the guests came for these items tonight. The first item started, and it was sold for three times the original price.
Mrs. Sanchez, who was sitting at another table, was very happy because every batch of money she received here would be used for charity, which meant that their company could help more people.
Three times in a row, they were all sold out for a good price. Next up was Mrs. Sanchez's donation. It was a very rare and precious pearl necklace. And some of the female guests appreciated it and decided to buy it at a high price.
When the host shouted out the bidding, one after another people shouted to increase by one hundred thousand, fifty thousand, or one half a million. In short, the pearl necklace of one million turned to be three million in an instant. And it was not stopped, as there were still people continuing to increase.
Jack Long beside Lolo Sue had never spoken, as he was waiting for the highest price to appear. And then he won it at an overwhelming price. Mainly, this kind of auction was also a pleasure among the guests. And he did not want to destroy it.
"Five million." A female guest sounded ruthless.
"Okay! Five million for the first time."
"Five million for the second time..."
"Ten million!" A deep voice rang from the ground.
"Okay! We have a ten million bid! It was from Mr. Long. Is there a higher price?"
Mrs. Sanchez walked up to Jack Long and politely said to him, "Mr. Long, can I have a chat with you?"
Jack Long immediately picked up Lolo Sue, "Can I bring her?"
"Yes!" Of course, Mrs. Sanchez was happy.
Along the way following Mrs. Sanchez, they walked into a quiet private room. Mrs. Sanchez took the lead in apologizing. "I'm sorry, Mr. Long, my daughter had deliberately raised the price when you were bidding just now, so I decided to offer you the pearl necklace at $5 million. How do you think?"
Lolo Sue admired her mother's good intentions, but Jack Long beside her smiled lightly, "Mrs. Sanchez, you don't have to blame yourself. I'm willing to bid this price. I'm very keen to support your family's charity career, so keep the original price!"
Mrs. Sanchez shook her head. "This... This price is too high. That necklace is not worth the price at all."
Jack Long smiled and looked at the girl beside him. "This is the gift I gave her. I believe that this necklace from you is definitely worth this price. She really likes it."
At this moment, Mrs. Sanchez felt the feelings of Jack Long towards Lolo Sue. Her stupid daughter dared to think too much.
She was a little surprised by the meaning of the words. She looked at Lolo Sue, "Miss Sue, do you like this necklace very much? Does this necklace have any special precious meaning for you?"
Lolo Sue's heart tightened a little. Of course, she couldn't tell her what it meant. She nodded, "Yes, I really like this necklace."
