Chapter 516

When she saw Sylvia and Franklin sitting side by side, the smile on herface became stiff and her eyes fell on Sylvia involuntarily.

Sylvia just felt a bad eye on her. She looked up and saw Tiffanystanding on the stage.

But soon, Tiffany had hidden negative emotions, with an elegant smileon her lips. “I am honored to be the host of this charity auction today.Next, let's see who are the guests present."

"Franklin, President of Maskelyne Group and SouthStar Airlines. Mr.Davis, Chairman of Crown Techs Group. Zak, the best actor. ClarkWilson, President of Wilson Group. Isaac, President of Carr Group.Paul, President of Kennedy Group.”

Tiffany was the young lady of the Evans family, so she attended suchoccasions many times.

Although it was the first time to be a host, but she was not timid.

She spoke elegantly and clearly.

Looked she was well done.

Next, she introduced the auction process, and then she began to inviteMiss Manners to the stage to display those items put up for auction.The first one was a very old antique auctioned by Adriel Davis,Chairman of Crown Techs .

The collection value was very good.

So as soon as it was displayed, many business tycoons presentscrambled for it.

Someone soon paid five million for it.

Next was a diamond necklace, which was also auctioned off very soon.Then there was a vase. Many people bade on it, and finally Mrs.Howlett paid 6 million for it. She liked this kind of beautiful porcelain.Geoff glanced at Jasper, who was not far away, and realized that heand his wife couldn't get Jasper's attention whatever they did.

He stared fixedly at the stage.

It seemed that she looked extremely serious.

Sylvia felt a little bit bored. But since all the money raised in this auctionwould be donated to the disaster area, she needed to auctionsomething off.

As the time passed, many lots were sold.

When drowsiness overwhelmed Sylvia, a set of handwrittenmanuscripts of a very famous author was displayed.

She instantly came to life.

This kind of thing was no use for many people. People preferred tocollect antiques, antique paintings, jewelry, diamond, jade, etc.

The handwritten manuscript was not very interesting.

"The starting price of this handwritten manuscript is half a million."Tiffany said elegantly, and as soon as her words left her mouth, Sylviaraised her card, "One million."

Everyone looked at her in shock. It was just a handwritten manuscript.In the eyes of these people, it was just a worthless book.

But Sylvia raised the price by half a million dollars once she offered theprice?

Was there any mistake?

"Honey, it this handwritten manuscript worth a lot?" Franklin knitted hisbrow.

And those who were not interested in this handwritten manuscriptbefore became interested in it since Master Keturah directly added 500,000.

It seemed to be something good. The thing Master Keturah appreciatedmust be really good!

So Sylvia watched as the price of this handwritten manuscript, whichhadn't received much attention before, soon reaching three million.Then it was four million, five million ...

Sylvia was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

“What's wrong with these people? What's the point of fighting with herfor this book? It's just a book!"

She sighed and simply put down the card, “Impressed. I lose. Thesepeople are too rich."

Tiffany saw Sylvia give up and couldn't help but say with sarcasm,"Miss Maskelyne, this is a unique handwritten manuscript. Are you sureyou don't want it? Or is ... Mr. Maskelyne unwilling to pay for you?"

Her implication was clear: Franklin doesn't spoil you that much. It's justa book. You want it, but Franklin doesn't offer a price to buy it for you.Just a few million.

Sylvia wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, not going to pay attention toTiffany.

She didn't bother to sink to Tiffany's level.

The guests couldn't help but start whispering because of Tiffany'swords.

"It's not appropriate for the daughter of Evans family to speak ill ofguests in this way, is it?"

"Whether Sylvia wants it has nothing to do with her."

Tiffany looked at the guests and instantly sobered up before realizingthat she had spoken a bit presumptuously.

A trace of grievance surfaced under her eyes. She looked like she wasthinking for others but was misunderstood instead. "Miss Andrews, I amtoo worried about you. It's not easy for you to fancy something, but it'sbought by someone else.”

Sylvia lifted her eyes slightly without any extra expression.

Franklin, who was black-suited, spoke in a cold voice, "Miss Evans, justmind your own business."

The guests couldn't help but sigh for a while.

Tsk-

Tiffany was really embarrassed.

The way he protected his wife made the hearts of many women presentpound.

Tiffany's carefully painted eyes traveled sadly and jealously betweenFranklin and Sylvia.

The handwritten manuscript was eventually auctioned off by a wealthybusinessman.

Tiffany originally wanted to put her lot in the finale, because shethought it was worth a lot of money.

But at this moment ... She felt she had to use it to get back thespotlight.

She liked the feeling of standing on high and being looked up to byeveryone.

Why should Sylvia steal the attention of everyone after she stoleFranklin?

She smiled slightly, as if she wasn't upset by Franklin's words.

Acting still elegantly, she said "Ladies and gentlemen, the following lotis my private collection.”

"Please have Miss Manners come on stage.”

Hearing it, Miss Manners froze and hurriedly changed the tray in herhand to Tiffany's lot. “What's the problem with this woman? I thought thenext one was a vase. How did it become her lot?"

But Miss Manners couldn't think much before rushing to the stage.Sylvia wasn't interested in what Tiffany's lot was.

But as the guests around her let out a gasp, she frowned and looked atthe stage, only to see the tray right in the middle.

Inside a black velvet box, a ruby lay quietly.

The ruby was illuminated by the light, emitting a soft haze of light,appearing more and more crystal clear.

A master gemologist on the scene couldn't help but exclaim, "This rubyis rare in the world, especially because there is a leaf carved behind theruby! The green leaf coupled with the red stone. It's a jewel of rare topquality!

Tiffany's face flashed with a hint of smugness, but she forced herself toplay it cool and slowly said, "This is a ruby that my Evans family hastreasured for many years. It is worth a lot of money. The starting priceis five million.”

This time she must steal the show at the auction.

It was just a ruby, and Grandpa always took it as a treasure.
