His Domineering Lover -
Chapter 575
When the auctioneer finished the introduction, a mixed-blood beauty in a hot skirt came up with the gem.
"This is the gem that I just introduced to you. Whether in terms of the color or the cutting, it's excellent work. Now let's start bidding. The base price is three million dollars." The introduction was completed. Tracey had been distracted until seeing the ruby. She wanted to get it early so that she could go home. She deemed its hammer price would be around ten million dollars.
As a jewelry designer, she knew diamonds well. Although this ruby was not cheap, yet it couldn't be too expensive. However, Tracey didn't have much confidence to acquire it at a reasonable price. She raised her hand, "Three and a half million dollars."
Another middle-aged man bided, "Four million."
"Three and a half million! So much money! I can't earn this number this life..." Seeing Tracey said this price calmly, Stella screamed inside.
Sure enough, Stella didn't understand the rich's
world.
Renee had been staring at Tracey. She thought that Tracey was here for fun, and Adam was not with her. "She must come here for something." Renee thought.
No matter what Tracey wanted, Renee swore to grab it away. It tuned out it was the ruby.
Renee said to Bradley, "Bradley, I want the ruby, can I?" She was not sure if Bradley would buy her that thing, but he was said to be very generous to women. Renee was ready to be rejected, yet her heart was pumping with fear.
"Will he say yes?" Renee was curious. After all, she wasn't with this man for too long and did not know him very well.
Bradley kept staring at Tracey, who always raised her hand to bid. He secretly observed her for a while, replaceing she was in low spirits until this ruby appeared.
Even though Renee didn't ask, he would take action. The price had gone to six million dollars, and barely people would like to bid.
The ruby was worth a high price, however, if going beyond its true value, it would lose popularity. Those who came here were basically business people, and they cared about the cost performance most.
So, it was not because they couldn't afford this ruby. Tracey was the first bidding person, and she would bid every new price, she was obviously coming here for it.
Those people who gave up bidding had seen it, if they continued to compete against Tracey, they would suffer loss.
"Eight million." Bradley called out, straightly raising the price from six million to eight million. Everyone turned to look at him as if looking at a warrior.
Even Tracey also turned to look at him. Due to the dim light, she only saw Bradley and did not see Renee, who was blocked by his tall figure.
"Eight million and a half." Tracey looked away after glancing at him. She had noticed that the people around had given up this gem. If it weren't for Bradley's competition, Tracey had already acquired it. "Nine million." He kept bidding without hesitation.
"Nine and a half million."
"Ten million."
People were stunned to see these two people because few of them believed that the gem could be priced this high.
Renee was the happiest one, she immersed in the joy, more exactly, her imagination that Bradley bid a ruby for her. It was the first time that there was a man buying her such an expensive gift.
The bidding price had reached Tracey' s psychological price. "Should I give up now?" She asked herself. But the draft was finished, and this ruby was the most suitable material.
"Fine." she raised her psychological price higher. If the price reached 15 million, she would give up.
"Ten million first." The auctioneer began to urge.
People were all watching Tracey, wondering if she would continue to raise the price.
"Ten million and five hundred thousand." Tracey bided, which totally amazed Stella. She didn't know about the ruby, and not know the reason why Tracey must get it. What she felt was, "OMG, that was ten million dollars, ten million!"
"Eleven million." Bradley kept bidding, showing no intention to let go.
"Eleven million and five hundred thousand."
"Twelve million."
These two people raised the price by five hundred thousand dollars each time. Some people began to laugh at them for their ignorance of the ruby, thinking that the gem had already gone far more than its fair value.
"Was the ruby special for them?" Someone thought. Other than this reason, they couldn't think of any other logical reasons.
"Twelve million five hundred thousand dollars." Tracey bided with her teeth gritted. She had a good impression for Bradley, thinking of him as a gentleman. She couldn't figure why he competed against her so fiercely just for a ruby.
"Thirteen million dollars."
"Thirteen million and five hundred thousand."
"Fourteen million."
It had been very close to Tracey's bottom line. "Fourteen million and five hundred thousand dollars." Tracey said. This was her last bidding, and she felt it unnecessary to insist after this price. "Fifteen million." Bradley didn't give up, as if no price could deter him.
This time, Tracey didn't speak. "Fifteen first, fifteen second, last calling! Deal! The ruby is for you, sir."
Renee was so excited. Just because of her simple request, Bradley had spent fifteen million! She was happy to fly.
Tracey was disappointed. "Forget it, I can revise the draft. It's the same to use other gems." She thought.
It was still a pity. After all, the design had been settled for a long time, waiting for only the ruby.
"President Xia, it's fine. I will replace other similar rubies for you." Stella understood Tracey' s disappointment as she especially came here for it.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, I have other options. Let's go." Since the ruby was not belonging to her, Tracey didn't want to stay here longer.
She just wanted to go home and take a rest. Tomorrow she would start to revise the draft.
Tracey left in a hurry. In Renee's eyes, she was defeated. "I won, Tracey. From now on, I will take away everything you want." Renee swore. Bradley was seeing Tracey off. He came here was not for the ruby, but something auctioned next.
But nobody dared to bid things against him. From the way he was competing for the ruby, he won't give others any chance.
