like Pearl, a collector, she had been eagerly awaiting the enameled bowls. But the more valuable the items, the more she needed to maintain a calm demeanor.
The auctioneer set the starting bid at 200 thousand dollars.
Pearl didn’t raise the auction paddle. She still gestured to Mason to

and Mason said, “I hid 220 thousand dollars”
Many people in the room were still in a daze, shocked by Mason’s recent bid of 4 million and 2 thousand dollars. They weren’t sure if he was showing off, but they knew he was genuinely wealthy.
they saw Mason raise his auction paddle, those who were
With their financial resources, they definitely couldn’t compete with Mason, so when they briginally interested automatically put down their auction paddle.
This was exactly what Pearl wanted. As the bid reached 220 thousand dollars for the second time, it seemed like the auctioneer could seal the deal with a single strike, but there was always room for unexpected twists in such situations.
1 bid 240 thousand dollars”
Pearl tied her head and glanced at the person from the corner of her eye. She same Marc calmly holding up his auction paddle.
Pearl frowned.
Was this man addicted to raising his auction paddle tonight!
Pearl had never seen Marc show off like this before.
Mason raised his auction paddle again. “200 thousand dollars”
Mare also raised his auction paddle. 280 thousand dollars”
Mason glanced at Pearl. Pearl closed her eyes at him. Mason raised his auction paddle again. “300 thousand dollars”
Mare was about to raise the auction paddle again, but Lucas stopped him. “Can’t you tell that it’s Pearl’s subordinate?”
I can tell that,” Mare asked, “But so what?”
Lucas was surprised. “Since you can tell, why are you still fighting with him?”
Marc said calmly. “I didn’t fight with him. I like these four bowls too.”
Lucas didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Lucas had never seen a clueless man like Marc before.
*300 thousand dollars once, 300 thousand dollars twice. Alright, this gentleman has bad 320 thousand dollars”
Hubert glanced in Marg’s direction and said to Pearl, “He’s determined to go against you. Doesn’t he know that Mason is your subordinate?” The knows.” Pearl gritted her teeth.
Prari decided to take back what the had just said. She was someone who got angry rauly, and she was really angry now.
Pearl no longer sigrated Mason to raise the auction paddle. Instead, she directly raised her own paddle and exclaimed, “100 thousand dollars
Didn’t Marr want to go with her? Then they would fight to the end.
Man dudas Pearl wished. He raised his auction paddle again. “420 thousand dollars.”
Lucas could not help but rub the space between his eyebrows. He said to Marc, “Now I know why Pearl wanted to divorce you. If she didn’t get divorce with a husband like you, she would have been angered to death by you sooner or later.”
Marc was unmoved. He did not think that his divorce with Pearl had anything to do with him wanting to bid for these four enameled bowls. Moreover, he was the one who initiated the divorce back then, not Pearl.
The auction had now become a battleground between Pearl and Mason. They were locked in a fierce competition, each one raising their auction paddle one after the other. They intentionally increased the bid by around 20 thousand dollars each time, trying to test each other’s patience and push each other’s limits.
Meanwhile, the other people in the room watched as the two of them bartled it out like competitive children, with the auctioneer continuously announcing prices. The audience was getting tired of the spectacle.
Were they planning to drive the price of these four bowls up to 20 million dollars through their bidding war?
The auctioneer’s voice grew boarse as he continued to call out prices, reaching one million dollars, and Pearl no longer placed any bids.
Hubert said, “What’s wrong! Are you tired? Why don’t I help you bid?”
Hubert reassured Pearl, saying, “It’s okay. No matter how much these four bowls end up being bid for, I’ll make sure to buy them for you Law family’s turf, I won’t allow anyone to bully you”
On the
Just as Hubert was about to raise his auction paddle, Pearl stopped him. She shook her head. They are only worth this much. It’s meaningless to bid any higher.”

the end, the four enameled bowls were successfully bought by Marc for one million dollars.
At this point in the auction, the donation had already reached nearly 6 million dollars, far exceeding expectations. The happiest person was none other than the organizer. Zero Hour Tomorrow’s trending topic could already be booked.
“Let’s go.”
Pearl left the venue with her assistant Hubert was left behind by Elaine to handle the auction items and payment. He did not leave with Pearl
Mason arrived a little late. The car was parked outside. He asked Pearl to wait by the roadside for a while and went to get the car
The night breeze was a litle cold. Pearl crossed her arms. Suddenly, she felt a weight on her shoulder. She turned her head and saw Lucas’s bright smile. “Are you cold? I’m a gentleman. I’ll lend it to you for a while”
Pearl raised her hand and was about to take it off when the coat was taken off.
Marc threw the trench coat into Lucas’s arms. Then, he took off has suit jacket and draped it over Pearl’s shoulder. He drank. His clothes stink. How about wearing mine?”
“Thank you. There’s no need for that. Yours are not much better off
Pearl shook her shoulders and returned Marc’s jacket back to him.
Pearl tied her head and saw the four bowls in Thomas’s hands. Pearl’s eyes darkened in the night and her red lips pursed slightly
Mare said frankly, “I’m sorry, I like these four bowls too.”
Pearl put on a fake smile. “Congratulations.”
“Do you like them?” Lucas could not help but chime in. “Miss Woolery, if you really like them, Marc can give them to you, right”
Marc looked at Lucas strangely. “When did I say such a thing!”
Lucas really
y didn’t ki
know what to say now
Not only did Mare not help, but he also kept holding Lucas back.
Pearl smiled. “There’s no need for that. A gentleman doesn’t snatch what others love. I’ll fight for what I like. Since I’ve given up, it means that ou destiny isn’t strong enough. There’s nothing to regret:
Mason drove over and got out of the car to open the door for Pearl. Pearl said calmly, “Goodbye, both of you.
Pearl paused again and glanced at Marc. “Oh, I was wrong just now I hope to meet you for the last time, Mr. Males Nanston doesn’t welcome you Pearl got into the car and drove away
Mare pondered over Peart’s last sentence and frowned, “Is she angry?”
2:13 PM
“Fuck, you just figured it out?”
Lucas was very helpless. He sighed deeply and said, “I won’t pity you even if you stay single for the rest of your life. You deserve it. Continue to maintain it and work harder. Pearl will completely give up on you. Best of luck!”
