Chapter 941 The Red Jade

In the end, the bid for the book was won by one of the tycoons.

As for the item Hera contributed to the auction, she had initially left it for last due to how valuable it was.

However, she currently felt the urge to put herself back in the limelight.

She had always enjoyed being the center of attention and relished the feeling of being worshiped.

It was one thing for Ashlyn to steal her man, but to steal her limelight, too, was unacceptable.

Consequently, she responded to Lucas' reprimand with a smile and didn't show signs of being upset.

Maintaining an elegant countenance, she declared, “Ladies and gentlemen, the next item on the block is from my

personal collection. And now, I'll have my assistant bring it up on stage.”

The moment she finished, the assistant quickly switched the tray she was originally carrying to Hera's item. What's

going on with her? Aren't we supposed to auction the vase first? Why did she suddenly change it to her item?

Despite the questions in her mind, the assistant hurried onto the stage with Hera's item.

Ashlyn had no interest in what it was until she heard a loud gasp from the crowd.

When she looked up with a frown, she was greeted by the sight of a black velvet box that held within it a piece of

red jade.

Underneath the illumination of the light, the red jade glistened with a soft sheen that demonstrated its impeccable

clarity.

A jewelry expert within the crowd exclaimed, “What an extremely rare piece of red jade, especially with a leaf

carved into the back of it! The contrasting features of the green leaf and red stone make this a highly valuable

treasure!”

Despite gloating for a split second, Hera forced herself to maintain her composure as she explained, “This red jade

has been in the Chapman family's collection for many years and is a priceless piece. The bid starts at... five million.”

Hera was persistent in stealing the limelight at the auction.

This is nothing but a lousy piece of jade. Yet Grandpa treats it like a treasure all the time.

Meanwhile, the sight of the red jade elicited a drastic change in Sisley's expression.

What is Hera doing? That red jade belongs to Alice. How can she put it out on auction without anyone's permission?

If Bob finds out about this, he'll skin both of us alive.

Sisley glared at her daughter. Hera has clearly agreed to return the red jade. Why is it here at the auction?

Sisley's overwhelming anger caused her throat to hurt, but she realized it was too late to stop it now that the red

jade had been unveiled on stage.

Her eyes consequently reddened. Where has Hera's sensibility gone? Why is she becoming more and more

disobedient to the extent of doing something like that?

At that moment, Ryan—who had just arrived—narrowed his eyes the moment he saw the red jade on stage. He just

couldn't believe what he was looking at. That... if I'm not mistaken, that is... I must have it!

For the very first time, the usually reserved Ryan shouted brazenly, “Ten million!”

“Ten million? An increase of five just like that?”

“The Yates family are filthy rich indeed!”

“What's going on with Mr. Yates?”

Mary and Penelope, who were following Ryan from behind, widened their eyes in shock.

Ten million? For a lousy piece of jade? Has Ryan gone mad?

“Ryan, it's ten million. Are you sure you want it? What's so special about it?”

Mary had planned to flaunt the Yates family's wealth. Little did she expect the money to be used to bid for the jade.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I didn't buy anything in the end?

Without any hesitation, she began to dissuade Ryan from doing so.

Penelope, who caught the look her mother gave her, added, “Exactly, Uncle Ryan. Wouldn't the money be better

spent on buying something more meaningful?”

The incessant pestering by the mother and daughter duo simply annoyed Ryan.

Ignoring both of them, he strode up on stage to examine the red jade up close. The design felt particularly familiar

to him, especially the carved leave on it.

The red jade was a unique heirloom given to members of the Yates family. Within his generation, only he and his

elder sister were given one each.
