Chapter 829: Chapter 847: In the years of one’s life, love never lets go (Ending 3)

But Percy Stanton provided no explanation to Isabel Smith, just gave Secretary Emille a glance. Upon his cue, Secretary Emille quickly raised the bidding sign and called out the price, "Seventy Million".

The bid jumped from forty-three million to seventy million in an instant, a increase of twenty-seven million, leaving less than half the interested bidders for the jade seal.

The hostess on stage announced, "Seventy million, first time."

The venue was eerily silent.

The hostess asked again, "Seventy million, the second time."

One more call, and the auction hammer would fall.

However, at that moment, a bidding sign went up and a crisp voice rang out, "Eighty Million."

The whole venue was slightly abuzz.

Even Isabel Smith found it somewhat incredible.

She glanced sideways and saw Evelyn Osbert turn her head and give Isabel a disapproving smile.

"CEO Smith, the price of this jade seal is already at least five times the market price, do we still want it?"

Isabel Smith of course didn’t want to, as there was no need for such extravagance at a charity auction. With eighty million, Smith Corporation could initiate a new project and it simply wasn’t worth it.

However, Percy Stanton, who was silently looking straight ahead, didn’t wait for Isabel to speak. He addressed Secretary Emille and softly ordered, "Add another ten million."

Isabel furrowed her brow: "Percy, the jade seal is not land or anything that holds lasting value. We’re not professional collectors, what do we want it for?"

Percy said nothing, only indicated for Secretary Emille to raise the sign.

Secretary Emille glanced at Isabel, then at Percy. The man’s placidity radiated an indisputable authority, so ultimately, Secretary Emille raised the sign: "Ninety Million."

The item wasn’t the best one there, but the price set a new record in the auction.

This time, Evelyn Osbert immediately raised the sign without any hesitation: "One billion." The venue was eerily quiet.

One is the young miss of the Smith family and the other belongs to the Osbert family but have lived with the Smiths for over a decade. They are cousins and this public rivalry has indeed stirred interest in the crowd. Everyone’s eyes were on Isabel Smith, waiting to see if she would raise the bid or let go. They were more keenly interested in which family the jade seal would end up with.

Isabel was somewhat hesitant. This one billion antique, once brought home, would purely be a showcase piece and would definitely not command such a high resale price.

This time, she didn’t wait for Secretary Emille to ask. She turned her head and looked at Percy.

One billion did not seem to hold any value in Percy’s eyes. He didn’t even blink, he just continued giving commands to Secretary Emille: "Add another fifty million."

Secretary Emille’s hand holding the bidding sign began to tremble, "One hundred and fifty million."

The entire room was in uproar.

Evelyn Osbert’s look soured instantly. She watched Isabel the whole time and saw that before every bid, Percy would turn his head, say a few words to Isabel, and he seemed absolutely masterful.

The reason she initially bid for the jade seal was actually because she wanted to win it and give it to the father of Robert Vincent. Father of Robert is an antique collector.
