Chapter 546


    *Two point five million.” Keira kept raising the bid, and the increments were getting pretty hefty.


    Chloe blinked, her face expressionless as she looked at the vase on the stage, waiting to see if


    anyone else would raise the bid.


    It wasn’t until Keira hit the three point five million mark that the auctioneer started to get ready to


    drop the hammer.


    “Three point six million.” Chloe bid again.


    Keira, who was so close to victory, was cut off by Chloe. Her face instantly soured. She turned to


    Lance, her face showing unbearable. hurt and disappointment. She looked like she was being


    bullied by Chloe.


    “That’s too much! This Chloe is clearly doing this on purpose, just to mess with Keira!”


    “She’s having a st snatching things from Keica!”


    “Whatever Keira likes, she wants! What a despicable person!”


    A few women who were clearly trying to tter Keira were discussing disapprovingly. To the other


    people listening, it seemed like they had a point


    But there were also whispers saying, “But Chloe was the one who started the bidding.”


    “You’re so naive! Chloe and Lance have been dating for so long, how could she not know that


    Lance’s father is interested in these antiques? She must have known that Keira would be interested


    in this item, that’s why she made the first move, get it?”


    “Ah? So that’s how it is! I thought! She’s really cunning?!”


    “You’re just realizing this? She’s really sneaky!”


    The discussions weren’t even trying to be subtle, almost as if they were meant to tarnish Chloe’s


    reputation!


    Jete gritted her teeth in anger, “These people, they’re too much!”

    Chloe let out a coldugh, “The one thing this world isn’t short of is fools! Let them talk, as long as


    we’re living better than them, that’s


    all that matters.”


    Jete was still seething. Especially when Keira raised the bid to three point sixty–five million, it


    made her even more incensed.


    Three point sixty–five million, going once…”


    Η


    Chloe remained silent, seemingly considering whether the 18th–century vase was worth the price.


    After all, she didn’t usually collect such things. She just thought it was pretty.


    Spending close to four million just to appreciate an antique, although it was for charity, she also had


    to consider her personal needs. Besides, raising the price to this level was already a contribution to


    charity.


    She pondered for a moment, deciding to give up on this auction item.


    “Three point sixty–five million, going twice…”


    The auctioneer’s gazended on Chloe, who might raise her bid again, but Chloe calmly put down


    her paddle.


    “Three point sixty–five million…”


    “Five million.”


    Just as the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, a familiar and indifferent voice suddenly rang


    out.


    Chloe quickly lifted her head to look at Damon beside her, his paddle just being put down. She


    frowned slightly at him in disagreement, but Damon seemedpletely indifferent.


    Jete, who was in a state of irritation, immediately brightened up when Damon finally made a


    move. Her inner frustration also dissipated.


    The bid jumped by over a million, the biggest leap of the evening.


    Keira bit her lip lightly, giving Lance a regretful nce.
