SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS-Chapter 492 - 490: CHARITY BANQUET 3
Chapter 492: Chapter 490: CHARITY BANQUET 3
"Miss Diamond, aren’t you afraid of offending him? I heard that he has a high status in the city?" Lady Aumbrey asked Diamond a while later as the auction continued, a bit worried about Diamond’s provocation.
Diamond snickered as she glared in the direction of that man before looking at Lady Aumbrey and replied, "I have the capital to act like this. If he can dare find trouble for me, then let him try!" as a murderous glint flashed right through her eyes.
At that moment, these people had no idea that her filial son was already informing her about everything that was to be found in that man.
His whole assets weren’t even a tenth of hers, why did she need to fear a man who knew how to bully women?
Lady Aumbrey, hearing that, smiled with satisfaction. They didn’t need cowardly women but brave and strong-headed ones who knew what they wanted. Women who cower in the face of situations like these wouldn’t survive there.
After delivering a blow, Diamond concentrated on the auction.
"The next item on the list is a ruby ring worn by the queen of ****** in the 20th century. It was a love gift from her husband, the king, and their love token. The ring has been ...." A lengthy description once hit the guests and when that was done, the starting bidding price was mentioned.
Diamond wasn’t interested in buying someone else love token, however. When she saw that man biding for it, her eyes narrowed, feeling a bit vengeful.
Thinking whether to bid for it or not, suddenly her spiritual bond started heating up. Sensing that, Diamond propped her hand on top of the table as she covered her eyes with one hand, before sending her consciousness into the Golden Space.
"Fairy, what’s going on? Can’t you see that I am in public?" she couldn’t help but complain as she glared at the space fairy who wasn’t that faint anymore but more solid.
The fairy snickered at her as she waved her hand, forming a projection. On that projection, Diamond saw a familiar stone. Her mouth opened in shock.
"That gem looks like the one getting auctioned now!" she couldn’t help but say after getting over the momentary shock.
"Um, it is the same and you must get that ring!"
"Why should I get it? Do you like it?"
The fairy rolled her eyes as she cut off the projection and replied, "It has good energy, which is beneficial to the space. Don’t you want to upgrade?"
When Diamond heard the last part, she grinned at the fairy before vanishing from the space without saying goodbye.
The fairy shook her head as she vanished as well, thinking to herself, ’It’s good that she is decisive!’
Meanwhile, on Diamond’s side, the second she was back to reality, the bidding was still going on.
She gave the man another look and those around her, seeing that, knew that drama was about to unfold.
"G$10 million!" Diamond bid for the ring, increasing the bid by four million in one go.
When the man heard that, he angrily looked at Diamond, but the other shrugged her shoulders as if saying, ’What can you do to me?’
Nolan and Wyatt, seeing her at it again, nudged at her as they asked, "Do you really like that ring?" curious about whether she was doing it to spite the man or she was for real.
Diamond looked at these two friends of hers and nodded her head, sincerity oozing from her eyes. "It’s special and very useful for me!"
Hearing that from her, they decided to support her all the way.
As a result, only Diamond and that man remained in the bidding war. After a while, Diamond won the ring at a ridiculous price, the work of that man who was taking revenge again. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Seeing that, Diamond swore to get her revenge before the night ended.
The other guests watching that drama for free couldn’t help but be speechless. Although there were cases like these on events like these, this was the first time they had seen two relentless people who didn’t like giving up.
Thankfully, the lady was thick-skinned and with a fat pocket, the happiest where the host of the auction was. With so much money coming into their pockets, as long as they don’t physically fight, they are welcome to continue.
Diamond and the man provided a lot of entertainment during the auction and in their rounds, the man managed to take three things, two of them being items Diamond sabotaged him.
She finally managed to get her revenge, and seeing her smug smile every time the man was forced to take the win was simply hilarious for everyone.
When the auction ended, Diamond got three items. The painting, the ring and lastly a ceramic vase from the 19th century. It was the second most expensive item she purchased after the prices were spiked by that man, of course.
After the auction, an endless string of addresses flooded them and Diamond finally understood what kind of charity they were doing. She didn’t bother to listen when it was mentioned in the beginning.
And hearing it at the end, she found the idea very novel.
There were a lot of homeless people around, and the organizers were planning on building a community where these people could be moved to.
As for whether that was going to happen or not, she would have to wait and see.
The idea was pretty good. She would sit down with her staff and see if they could do something like that as well, though she wasn’t going for the full idea.
It was too costly, and that money could be used for other things.
After the lengthy speeches, the buffet was brought in and it was time for everyone to eat and just mingle.
During the period of eating and mingling, Diamond met a lot of people who were interested in talking to her.
Diamond didn’t mind making new friends, so she didn’t turn them down, but talked to them enthusiastically.
Her business cards finally found their way to other people’s wallets, and seeing the bundle decreasing, Diamond felt like she had achieved something great.
Who would have thought that last year at this moment, she was just struggling and being ostracized by others wherever she went?
But look at her now!
