Chapter 4 Auction of the precious gem

This gem is at the bottom. Since it is a natural gem, the starting price is 100 million.

"200."

Hearing the voice from the person sitting next to her, Zoe's expression became strange. She asked Natalie: "Do you want me..."

Natalie sat there, her eyes downcast, playing with her phone, but she didn't see anything unusual.

Nathaniel paused his conversation with his friends, handed her the cup of milk that the waiter had just brought in: "Do whatever you want, I'm here, you can play whatever you want."

"Big brother..." Zoe curled her lips: "This is my territory, do you want to steal my lines?"

Nathaniel glanced at her, carrying an invisible coercion: "You can say it again."

Zoe: "..."

Well, other than Natalie, no one can feel this gentleness.

This gem still attracts a lot of people; moreover, there are a lot of rich people.  In less than half an hour, the price had reached hundreds of millions.

"500 million."

The voice rang out from the next room again.

"I just asked someone to check." Zoe pulled Natalie into a corner and said in a low voice, "I heard that Lily, who fell into the sea seven years ago to save Morgan Samuel, left behind an illness; her body was cold and weak. Samuel arranged this precious gem for her."

"Really?" Natalie looked calm, seeing that no one dared to compete with Samuel anymore. The bell was about to ring, she raised her hand to press the price increase bell next to her, her red lips pursed slightly, and a cold and rude voice came from outside. The voice came from the speaker, echoing clearly in the ears of everyone in the nightclub.

"2 billion."

"This voice..." It sounded familiar. Caleb Simmons was slightly startled, turned his head to look at Samuel: "Why does it look like Natalie?"

He and Samuel grew up in the same neighborhood, and they met there.

 Samuel held the cup tightly, his expression gloomy: "It's Natalie."

Caleb opened his mouth, and he subconsciously glanced at Lily sitting beside him, momentarily not knowing what to say.

He had always known that Samuel had a lover named Lily, but that year, because the old lady of the Morgan family forced him, he agreed to marry Natalie. In recent years, Natalie was both elegant and dignified, both inside and out beautiful; her appearance was peerless, worthy of being Samuel's wife.

A few friends in the group also advised him not to divorce, but it was all in vain.

Lily bit her lip: "Samuel..."

Samuel's original budget for this jade pendant was 1 billion, and 500 million was already too high. It wasn't worth buying it now, but looking at Lily's cold expression, he thought that she was like this because of him.

Samuel frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "2.5 billion."

"3 billion."

In less than a second, a voice from the next room rang out.

 "It seems like Natalie..." Caleb promptly changed his tone, smiling meaningfully: "She wants to fight you, Samuel."

"3.5 billion." Samuel ignored him, just coldly said.

"4 billion."

"4.5 billion."

"5 billion."

This time, there was no sound until the gong rang.

Zoe sneered: "He is willing to do it for her; Lily is worth that much money."

Soon, someone brought the pearl, Nathaniel handed over the payment card, but was stopped by Zoe: "I'll give this little thing to Natalie to play with, so as not to bother you."

Nathaniel glanced at her, said nothing, and just took back the card.

Natalie only felt that this place was noisy and boring, and did not bother to look at the pearl anymore, turned around and walked out: "I'm going out to get some fresh air."

Nathaniel frowned: "Natalie..."

"I'm going." Zoe took the warm gem and went out. They were all girls, and some things were always easy to talk about.

At the end of the corridor.

Natalie leaned against the window, the cool night breeze blowing, talking to someone on the phone.

Another group of people wanted to beat gongs, drums, and blow trumpets, and hold a party to celebrate her divorce.

She curled the corner of her mouth and said, "Forget it."

After hanging up the phone, she turned around and saw Samuel standing not far away, not knowing when he had arrived.

 Broad shoulders and slim waist, his face under the incandescent lamp was handsome like cast iron, his whole person exuded a majestic aura, his breath was cold.

The woman had bright eyes, white teeth, exquisite features, beautiful as a painting. Every plastic surgeon was excellent, a little mocking.

Four eyes met, silent.

"Samuel," The voice was as gentle as a ghost followed. Lily slowly walked over, grabbed Samuel's sleeve, glanced at Natalie: "Have you told her?"

Samuel suddenly sobered up, but he raised his head to look at Natalie's cold, star-like black eyes, and suddenly he was a little silent when the words just came out of his mouth.

Lily saw this, secretly gritting her teeth, tried to suppress the jealousy in her eyes, and said to Natalie, "Natalie, that pearl is very important to me. Can you return it to me?"

"Return it? Return it to you?"  Zoe finally couldn't hold it in anymore and walked out from the darkness, smiling mischievously: "Hey, girl, did you just ask for the price or did you pay?"

"I..." Lily shrank her neck, immediately hiding behind Samuel, and shouted in fear: "Samuel."

That voice made Zoe shiver, goosebumps all over, "Hey, can we talk frankly?"

Lily's face suddenly turned red.

"Natalie," Samuel frowned. The warmth just now disappeared immediately. He took out his bank card from his jacket pocket and said in a low voice: "That precious gem is useless to you, but it is to Lily. Help me, here is 5 billion, give it to me."

No wonder she had to ask for the price. That was the original idea.

"Mr. Morgan really wants to buy it," Zoe sneered, "If you can't bargain, then you'll have to buy it yourself. Your little lover is only worth this much."

Where did this woman come from?

 Lily gritted her teeth, tears welled up, and said with grievance: "Natalie, even if Samuel only gave you 2 billion when we divorced, there was compensation from the family. Moreover, you have another man to take care of you."

Zoe heard this and frowned, and asked Natalie: "He gave you 2 billion?"

Natalie. "Ah."

Zoe frowned slightly, her eyes showing obvious disgust: "So you want that money, don't you think it's dirty?"

Natalie snorted coldly: "It's also money, right?"

The two spoke together, their words and phrases clear, filled with endless sarcasm.

"Miss Zoe," Samuel's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Our personal matters seem to have nothing to do with you."

"Who said..."

"Where is the pearl?"

Zoe was about to refute when Natalie reached out her hand.

Zoe frowned: "You won't..."

"Give it to me." Natalie's tone was unable to refute.

Zoe glanced at her, finally sighed, took out the pearl from her pocket, and gave it to her: "Have you decided?"

A stream of warmth spread from her skin to her limbs as she held the pearl, extremely comfortable.

Natalie approached Samuel, spread out her slender arms, the pearl lay still in her hand, the corners of her lips curved slightly, and asked calmly: "You want this pearl, right?"

 Samuel frowned, always feeling that after the divorce, Natalie seemed to be a different person, bright and confident, even her temperament became stronger, and her tongue also became sharper.

"Samuel." Lily called softly, constantly reminding Samuel, "With this pearl, my body is no longer afraid of the cold."

Samuel regained his spirit, one hand held out the card, the other hand took the pearl: "I will find an opportunity to tell grandma, with this 5 billion, you live well, and you..."

"You want it, but I didn't say I would give it to you." Samuel was about to take the pearl, but Natalie suddenly took her hand back.
