Chapter 445 The Old House Auction
Chapter 445 The Old House Auction
As soon as the host finished speaking, the crowd began to stir.
The host looked satisfied and continued, "Before the auction begins, let's welcome Mr. Markel to give a few words."
The light suddenly dimmed. Then, when it lit up again, there was another person on the stage.
Markel was dressed in a black formal suit. Standing under the white light, he was so dazzling. His handsome and gentle facial features hid his usual fierceness, which made him look more refined. As soon as Markel appeared, the female guests in the guest seats screamed in a low voice.
Victoria had to admit that Markel was charming.
Markel's mellow voice came through the sound, echoing in the large auction hall, and Victoria felt familiar and strange.
"First of all, thank you for coming to today's charity auction to let me see your enthusiasm for charity. To be honest, this old house is not my own property, but I auction it today, so I'm really ashamed of everyone's praise."
"Everyone knows that the old house is my third grandfather's ancestral property, and does not understand my actions. May be someone feels that it's a little unfilial to auction off the ancestral property of my family. But I want to say that the real inheritance is not about these superficial worldly possessions, but rather, we should remember the ancestral teachings in our minds, knowing what is gentle and modest and practicing it !"
"Maybe no one knows that I was also an autism child a long time ago. At that time, I was in an orphanage near Eqitin, and I lived like a machine. I was really desperate. It was not until my third grandpa came to the orphanage to inspect and took me away that my life was bright."
He paused, as if he was thinking about the past, and his voice was a little low.
After a while, he continued, "So, I hope that when I have the ability, I can help others more and help the autism children like me in the past. Let those autism children know that there are still many people caring about them. Let them know as long as they are willing to work hard, they can have a happy life!"
After saying that, the applause was thunderous.
All the guests in the auction hall seemed to be moved by Markel's words.
Victoria sat in the corner and touched her wet face.
She smiled sarcastically and reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
"Thank you for Markel's speech. Markel's words make us learn a lot!"
The host came to the stage in time, and said loudly, "Now, the auction starts. This old house is located at the foot of the Seventh Mountain. The nearby scenery is very good, suitable for vacation leisure. The starting price is 1 million dollars, 10 thousand dollars per time. The auction begins!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, someone began to bid.
"1 million and 40 thousand dollars!"
"1 million and 60 thousand dollars!"
"1 million and 100 thousand dollars!"
"1, 120, 000 dollars!"
"1, 120, 000 dollars!"
Everyone knew that this old house didn't have any business value, so the bidding was very low.
Suddenly, a cool voice came from the corner.
"1,200, 000 dollars!"
Everyone didn't notice that there was another person sitting in the corner of the back row. They couldn't help but turn their heads and look over. However, the light was dim and they could only see a fuzzy and slender figure. Judging from the voice, the person should be a young lady.
Someone immediately raised the price. "1, 240, 000 dollars!"
"1, 400, 000 dollars!" The lady in the corner made a prompt decision.
"1, 440, 000 dollars!"
Victoria Kaur continued, "1, 600, 000 dollars!"
At this moment, a young woman sitting in the front row suddenly ringed the bidder.
"2, 000, 000 dollars!"
Victoria Kaur stood up irritably.
It was very dark in the hall, but from where she stood, Victoria Kaur could still see the beautiful side face of the lady and her confident smile under the wavy hair. Although the lady sat in the crowd, she was still way above the common.
Kate?
The daughter of the Moss Group!
Victoria Kaur pursed her lips and pressed the bidding button.
"2, 100, 000 dollars!"
The crowd started stirring. Apparently, the price had exceeded the value of the old house itself!
Kate Moss turned her head and looked in Victoria Kaur's direction.
Then she chased closely. "2, 140, 000 dollars!"
Victoria Kaur clenched her fist!
James Kaur had given her 1, 720, 000 dollars, with the 400, 000 dollars from Natalia, she only had 2, 180, 000 dollars in total!
As the daughter of the Moss Group, Kate Moss had abundant funds. How could Victoria Kaur compete with her?
Frowning slightly, Victoria Kaur summoned a waiter and asked for a pen and paper.
She wrote down a sentence on the paper and asked the waiter to bring it to Kate Moss.
The hall was in silence, everyone was waiting to see if anyone else wanted to bid. In fact, many people knew no one could afford higher price to buy such an old house!
The host also realized the situation and said, "2, 140, 000 dollars once, 2, 140, 000 dollars twice..."
"Wait a minute!"
Victoria Kaur gnashed her teeth. "2, 180, 000 dollars!"
Everyone in the hall suddenly looked at her.
But she was staring at Kate Moss, who was in the front row holding a note.
Kate Moss smiled at her kindly, and then she turned around and stopped bidding.
"2, 180, 000 dollars once, 2, 180, 000 dollars twice, 2, 180, 000 dollars three times, deal!"
Victoria Kaur finally sighed with relief!
After the auction, it was time for dinner. Victoria Kaur got what she wanted, there was nothing worth keeping her here any longer, so she got up and was ready to leave.
However, she saw Kate Moss walking towards her.
Victoria Kaur narrowed her eyes slightly and watched Kate Moss walk up to her, reaching out her hand.
"Congratulations! You won."
Kate Moss was 25 years old, who was also a popular actress of the new generation in the entertainment industry. Victoria Kaur and Kate Moss had a good relationship, but they didn't have a chance to have much contact.
Kate Moss reached out and shook hands with her gently. Victoria Kaur said sincerely, "Thank you."
Kate Moss smiled slightly. "You don't have to thank me. Our family does business, so I am a businessman. That price has already exceeded the value of this old house. Even if you don't write that note, I won't bid again!"
Victoria Kaur didn't know whether Kate Moss was telling the truth or not, but she still nodded.
"I've heard that Miss Moss is a business-minded person long time ago. You live up to your reputation."
They glorified to each other for a while. At this moment, she saw Markel walking towards Kate Moss and stopping by.
When he saw Victoria Kaur, he was kind of surprised.
No one could deny that Victoria Kaur was extremely beautiful, and her beauty is completely different from Kate Moss.
Kate Moss is elegant and behaves as a noble lady. At a glance, everyone could tell that she came from a noble family.
But Victoria Kaur is completely different. She is innocent and cold, like a lotus blooming in the dark night. Her eyes are dark, which make she looked calm and mysterious. When men looked into her eyes, their desire urged them to explore more.
"Kate, who is this?"
Kate Moss smiled and said, "This is Miss Kaur."
"Miss Kaur?" Markel seemed to have recalled something in his mind, and then he smiled. "It's you. Hello, my name is Markel."
