For the next few days, Austin would be busy resuming work handling matters of the Dominion Properties.On the other side of things, Vincent had already finished building up the internal structure of the finance company that he would be taking charge of.Neither had given a second of their attention to the chaos ongoing around the Emersons within Kandor City.They did not care whether or not the Emersons would rise back up through the ashes or not.Austin lived a relatively peaceful life with a straightforward routine between going to work and going back home. Cecily would also visit Heavensgate Residence daily ever since Dahlia had made it back home safely from the kidnapping incident.She would also ask Raquel for advice on cooking from time to time.Austin was very satisfied with living such a peaceful life.However, it didn't mean that he wouldn't be involved with them again just because he didn't care about the Emersons.During the evening, Austin, Ezra, Aldus, and Vincent

The private room on the second floor had exquisite lighting.Austin and Vincent entered the room and scanned their surroundings before looking at each other.As the employee left, Austin frowned and said, "Are all private rooms in auction halls so luxurious?"Vincent was similarly in awe. "I'm as surprised as you are… They've really gone over the top in decorating the room."The corner of Austin's mouth twitched as he sat down on the recliner seat.The room had more than just exquisite lighting.The entire private room was filled with a sweet aroma, while the walls were decorated with beautiful paintings of the human physique.Austin could only wonder if he had mistakenly entered an art exhibition.He also felt awkward about being in a private room with another man and no one else.Austin realized that the private room included a full view directly facing the auction table. It was obvious that the Clarks had assigned him to a VIP area with an optimal view of the auction as t

The auction hall became filled with guests as time passed.Other private rooms on the second floor were also lit up one after another.The design of the private rooms maintained the privacy of the guests as no one could tell who was in the other rooms.Austin continued to ignore Vincent and Yannis' conversation.He lowered his head to look at his phone as he sent a text message to Cecily on WhatsApp. "I'm going to get you a gift."Cecily instantly replied, "What is it?""You'll know when you see it."Austin then put his phone on silent mode before returning it to his pocket.He leaned on the chair as he stared at the brightly lit auction table below.The auction was about to start.Austin wanted to win the bid for the Blue Tears Diamond as a gift for Cecily no matter what.He wasn't worried about the price as he believed that the bid wouldn't possibly end up in astronomical numbers. And besides, he did have money now.Suddenly, Yannis sheepishly spoke up. "It's getting hot

Although the voice was calm, it shocked everyone.In an instant, everyone turned their gaze toward the direction where the sound had come from."100 million dollars! We have a bid of 100 million dollars from the guest on the upper floor!" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.Immediately, everyone in the auction hall snapped back to attention.A cacophony of astonished gasps filled the air."Goodness gracious! Who's sitting in that room? He's willing to pay 100 million just like that?""Did he just double the bid? Looks like this big shot is determined to win!""That's ruthless. He shows no mercy at all. Could it be Jacob Sanders?"...Inside the room, Austin calmly set down the microphone and leaned back in his chair. He patiently awaited the outcome.It was his first time attending an auction.But observing the previous rounds, he had picked up a few tricks.He knew that continuous bidding only fueled the crowd's excitement and inflated the price beyond its true value.Strik

Dazed, Yannis felt her head starting to hurt. Her eyes widened as she stared at Austin.She felt like the world was spinning around her.If the man before her was Austin, who was she leaning on just now?Austin glanced at Vincent with a hint of helplessness.On the stage, the auctioneer had already started calling out for the third time.Right then, the gavel fell.The bid was closed as nobody continued bidding.As the session ended, the auction hall erupted into deafening gasps.The crowd turned their attention to the room on the second floor. They were curious to know who had made such an astronomical offer!The Blue Tears Diamond was indeed rare. Otherwise, it wouldn't have driven Yannis to such madness.However, besides the Blue Tears Diamond, the 200 million bid had also shocked everybody in the venue.Inside the room, Austin stood up, brushed past Yannis, and walked toward the exit.He didn't bother to even cast a glance at her.He had obtained what he wanted and d
