Chapter 293 Bidding Charlotte ignored the scorching gaze from next and looked in the direction of the auction stage with a calm expression. Joe knew that she did it on purpose, so he withdrew his gaze without any trace. At this time, the professional auctioneer had already come to the stage, holding a jewelry box in his hand, and inside was a small crown. The crown was not big, with gold as the base. The main stone was a very beautiful ruby, surrounded by many diamonds of about one carat and scattered diamonds, which looked very delicate. Charlotte became interested, if she gave it to Anna, she would definitely like it very much. So, after the host said the starting price was 200,000 dollars, she directly raised her auction paddle. “Three hundred thousand dollars” Although this crown is exquisite, 300,000 dollars is almost the market price, and no one raised their auction paddles for a while.
The auctioneer was about to raise the hammer, but Linda who was not far away suddenly raised her hand. “310,000 dollars.” Everyone’s eyes suddenly gathered on the two of them. Charlotte frowned, she was not afraid of Linda’s provocation, but she didn’t want to expose the contradictions within the Clinton Family on such an occasion. However, Linda didn’t mean to avoid it, she even turned her head and gave Charlotte a provocative look.
Now, no matter how dull the other people were, they knew that the two of the Clinton Family were at odds with each other. Enter title… Since everyone was bullying her, Charlotte didn’t intend to hold back, she glanced in Linda’s direction with a calm expression. The auctioneer on the auction platform also noticed that the atmosphere was not right. He smiled slightly, “It seems that everyone likes this lot very much! Let us wait and see who will get this crown in the end!” “350,000 dollars.” As soon as the auctioneer’s voice fell, Charlotte raised her hand expressionlessly, without even looking in Linda’s direction. Charlotte just ignored Linda. Linda became more and more angry, she sneered. “400,000 dollars!” She managed to get the invitation letter for the auction from Old Mr. Clinton today, and she would never let Charlotte get anything. As for Old Mr. Clinton, she can just find a reason to put him off afterward. Linda just made up her mind when she heard a deep male voice, “1,000,000 dollars.” Linda looked over in astonishment, it turned out to be Joe! Joe was sitting beside Charlotte with a calm expression, and when Linda looked over, he even raised an eyebrow, as if to say let Linda auction at will, he would never let her succeed. Linda cursed secretly. Originally she was sure of competing with Charlotte, but if Joe joined… Just when she was hesitating, Charlotte frowned and looked sideways at Joe. “Are you crazy? This is a grievance between Linda and me. What does it have to do with you?” Charlotte frowned tightly. Although she was a little interested in this crown, she was not willing to pay a premium for it.
Joe glanced at her, “Don’t you like it very much?” “If I like it, I will buy it myself. I don’t need you to pay for me.” Charlotte looked cold, she didn’t need or want Joe to be involved. The auctioneer made a final decision, and soon someone sent the lot to Joe’s table. Joe sent the crown to Charlotte. “Just take it as me thanking you for helping me last time, and I won’t bid next.” Charlotte pursed her lips, “Anyway, for the next auction, I don’t need you to stand out for me like this.” The second lot was a Ritual Jade, which was shiny and delicate, and according to the auctioneer’s introduction, it should be from the Tang Dynasty. Charlotte knew that even if Linda failed, she would never let it go easily, so she curled her lips indistinctly. Since Linda wanted to compete with her, why not let her fight for it as much as she could?
