My Sleeping Beauty Husband novel (Cynthia and Alston)
Chapter 138

My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols Chapter 138 Auction

Alston and Cynthia looked at each other and smiled. "Congratulations."

"We specially brought Cherry here for this auction. He said to Cherry in a loud voice, "Cherry, take whatever you like later. I will buy it for you. You are a great contributor to the Smith family."

Cherry straightened her chest, glanced at Cynthia proudly, and replied, "Thank you!"

Cynthia was speechless. Why did they show off in front of her? Did they think Alston wasn't as rich as them?

She smiled. "Yeah, take whatever you want. If the money is not enough, Alston and I can advance the payment, and you can just return it to us later."

Hearing that, Cherry was filled with anger, and her face turned pale. Ivan held her hand to calm her down. Clare was afraid that there would be something wrong with the child, so he also tried to appease Cherry.

After Cherry calmed down, she turned to look at Cynthia and said coldly, "No need, the money we brought is enough."

Alston held Cynthia in his arms and smiled. "That's fine. Uncle, enter the venue then. People behind are

waiting for us."

It was only then did Clare realize that they had wasted a lot of time here, and many guests were all blocked at the door, keeping complaining.

Clare glanced at the two people, and led Ivan and Cherry into the venue.

Alston held Cynthia in his arms and followed them, whispering in her ear as he walked, "Cynthia, when did

you become so aggressive? They almost lost control of their mood with your words."

Cynthia raised her chin arrogantly and hummed, "The more they want to show off in front of me, the more I want to embarrass them. I learned this from you, and it is really effective."

Alston shook his head, and his love for her couldn't be concealed. The more he got along with Cynthia, the more he felt that he was addicted to her in every way.

It must be some particular coincidence, the seats of Clare and others were exactly behind Alston's and Cynthia's.

At such kind of party, the important guests usually sat in the front.

Seeing that his seat was actually behind Alston, Clare's face turned sullen with anger, and he even wanted to

call the organizer. But the guests had already arrived one after another, so it would be more conspicuous to

ask the organizer to fix it for him.

So he sat down unwillingly.

The auction started soon. The host explained the source of all the auction items tonight, The money from the auction would be used for charity. After the applause, the first auction item was placed on the stage and it was displayed on the big screen.

Cynthia was not interested in the first few things. She cheered up and leaned forward to take a closer look until a set of diamond accessories was displayed.

Alston noticed her movement, and whispered in her ear, "Do you like this?"

Cynthia shook her head. "Nah. It's beautiful, but this big screen only displays the front side. I can't see what it

looks like as a whole."

"Well, let's take it home and take a closer look!"

After Alston finished speaking in a calm voice, Cynthia was stupefied. She thought Alston was really rich. He even said to take it home for a close look.

The starting price was 30,000 dollars, and it increased by 2,000 dollars each time. Alston raised his card

without hesitation.

Cherry had already taken two exhibits before. Seeing that Cynthia didn't take one, she felt very proud. When she saw Alston holding up the card, she immediately cheered up. She happened to like the diamond jewelry

on the stage, so she also raised the card.

"32,000!"

Cynthia looked back, only to see Cherry smiling proudly at her with a provocative face.

She was amused by Cynthia's look. Alston didn't turn around. With his face indifferent, he raised the card and

said casually, "40,000!"

Cherry hesitated, and she looked at Clare subconsciously. Clare smiled and hinted to her to go ahead.

Originally, Clare didn't intend to bid with Alston, but ever since Cynthia said that, he held grudges in his heart. So he simply asked Cherry to bid on the diamond jewelry at any cost.

Cherry received Clare's approval and was cheered up. She added 10,000 each time.

"50,000!" Cherry said in pride.

"60,000!" Alston said indifferently.

"70,000!"

"100,000!" Alston lost his patience and directly added it to 100,000 dollars.

Cherry gritted her teeth, and followed him. "120,000!”

All the people present were quiet. There were still people who wanted to bid before. Seeing the scene, no one

even dared to join the game, and only watched the two people increase their bids little by little.

As time passed by, Alston didn't care about money at all, and kept bidding.

Although Clare said to Cherry to do as she pleased, he started to feel anxious at this moment. His financial situation couldn't compete with Alston at all. His business hasn't been going well recently. He planned to develop some contacts and earn some reputation relying on this charity auction. If Cherry kept bidding like this, they would run out of the money they took soon.

When the price increased to 500,000, Cherry had gone crazy. She directly raised her card and shouted,

"600,000!"

Hearing that, the entire venue fell silent. Alston also stopped bidding and looked back with indifferent eyes. Cherry saw him look over, and smiled at him. Before the smile fully spread, Alston turned around indifferently.

He was about to raise the card again, but Cynthia pressed his hand and shook her head at him. "Don't worry about the money. We'll get it if you like, no matter how much it costs. Alston smiled at her

reassuringly.

Hearing that, Cynthia had a sweet smile and felt really good.

"This one is too flashy and high-profile. I don't like it that much, and it is more suitable for solemn occasions."

After hearing this, Alston put down his hand. "Well, the diamonds are not particularly good. Let's wait for some more items. If you take fancy to anything, we'll get it then."

"Okay!" Cynthia responded.

In the end, Cherry bid on the jewelry with 600,000 dollars.

Cherry felt that she finally won Cynthia, and even Clare looked milder. He felt that he had finally overwhelmed

Alston.

The auction continued. Alston bid for a calligraphy and painting by a famous artist, but Cherry and Clare

didn't bid after costing a bundle on that jewelry.

The final auction item was a blood jade bracelet.

Under the light, the set of jade bracelets was put on the stage. It was red and transparent, beautiful, with a warm color but it also had a domineering visual impact. The two characteristics were perfectly blended

on

this bracelet.

Cynthia stared at the bracelet with bright eyes. She was totally attracted and couldn't help but say, "So

amazing."

"Yes!" Alston also nodded, "The jade feels like the same as your pendant."

Cynthia pulled the pendant out from her neckline, and looked at the bracelet on the stage again. She then exclaimed, "It's really similar. They should be the same kind of jade."

"You really like it, don't you?" Alston looked at her bright eyes and laughed softly.

Cynthia nodded, "Yeah, I like it!"

"Okay, let me buy it for you!"

The starting price was 600,000 dollars, and now it had increased to 1 million. Alston directly raised his card,

"1.6 million!"

The audience was silent for a while. Clare originally wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price, but he Chapter 138 Auction

was afraid that Alston would stop bidding like what he did. It would be really embarrassing if the price was

too high and he couldn't afford it.

The price was too high, and Cherry didn't dare to raise her card rashly.

Except for some people who really liked the bracelet, everyone present gave up bidding and wanted to give it

to Alston. In the end, the bracelet was sold for 2 million dollars.

Cynthia took a deep breath, "It's really expensive."

Alston didn't care. He pointed to the necklace around her neck. "If the jade is really the same as your necklace, it's a bargain for us. After all, the stuff that the Green family passed on to their children won't be something bad."

Cynthia nodded, feeling a bit relieved.

After the auction, Cynthia got a sandalwood box, which was the blood jade bracelet she had bought.

She opened the box carefully, and the bracelet was quietly lying on the black flannelette. The strong contrast between red and black made this bracelet beautiful and domineering, even more beautiful than it looked from

a distance.

"It looks and feels like the same material as my pendant."

Cynthia's eyes were full of astonishment.

Cynthia was enjoying the bracelet, while Alston was enjoying her.

"You guys are really rich, huh? 2 million for a sh*t bracelet!"

As they were watching, a harsh voice suddenly came from behind.
