Chapter 208Chapter 208
What was more, Rickard treated Juniper so well back then, but Juniper only wanted to take advantage
of him, then pinned the blame on Hesper when things went south.
If it was not for Rickard’s blind trust in Juniper, perhaps these things would have come to light since the
very beginning. Taking advantage of this situation, Juniper should have left immediately, but she was
shameless enough to stay and pester Rickard further for so many years.
The former relationship between Rickard and Hesper was no longer a secret because of the
blabbermouth, Juniper. So when some attendees who knew about the relationship between Rickard
and Juniper saw the posture of the three of them, they could instantly imagine a huge, dramatic scene
in their mind.
However, the auction began officially, not giving the imagination more time to develop.
The auction was completely transparent. Everyone sat in the auditorium and would raise their placards
to bid for any item that they wanted.
Hesper had seen a lot of exquisite antiques and items in the past three years. So generally, she was
not interested in watching such auctions, but she could not just return home empty-handedly. Hence,
Hesper paid partial attention to the items being presented on stage and tried to bid for a few small
items from time to time.

to divert your attention here.”
Hesper lifted her head. The item on the auction platform was a thin bracelet, inlaid with several
gemstones of different shades of blue, making it look like a sparkling wave, radiating under thechandeliers.
It was indeed a pretty bracelet.
This could be regarded as one of the most famous items up for auction tonight. Regardless of the
material of the bracelet and the type of gemstone used, the royal family’s name was already enough to
put the jewelry a level above the other items.
Hesper did not lack good-looking accessories, so although this bracelet looked very beautiful, she did
not have the habit of collecting vintage accessories and clothes. She would only buy them for the sake
novelbinof viewing them at home.
With the host’s hyped introduction, the ladies in the audience would surely want to participate in the.
auction.
Hesper did not want to join in on the fun.
Sure enough, as soon as the auction started, the bid for the bracelet skyrocketed instantly. It had
completely exceeded its original price.
No matter what, it was only a tiny ornament, and the upbringing that Hesper had received since she
Ads by PubFuture was a child had taught her to not go all out for something that was not worth it just for the sake of her
pride, even if she was rich now.
There was no need for that.
But soon, a familiar voice came from within the crowd. “$10,000.”
Hesper turned her head and saw Juniper raise her chin as she put down the placard in her hand. And
as soon as they exchanged gazes, Juniper snorted proudly then looked away immediately. Hesper was speechless.
‘Just how childish can she be?’
Hesper turned her head, leaned back into the couch, and continued to witness the bidding process.
Juniper seemed to be ready to show off in the limelight this time around, which was not beyond
Hesper’s expectations. After all, Juniper had not appeared in front of the public for a long time, so with
the gigantic vanity that she had, it was absolutely impossible for her to stop if she did not get her hands
on this bracelet today.
“20,000.”
In an instant, the price of the bracelet increased by a fold.
Everyone in the audience looked in the direction of the voice and saw Rickard put down the placard in
his hand expressionlessly as if he was not the one who made the bidding seconds ago.
“Wow, I didn’t expect President Duval to join the auction out of the blue,” the host exclaimed
immediately, but he was laughing out loud inwardly.
‘This bracelet being sold at $10,000 was already something that even my words couldn’t preach.
However, Mr. Rickard Duval actually just came out of nowhere and doubled the price?”
“$22,500.”
