Chapter 290 Hard To Chase After Her
Before going into business, they all lived in a military compound.
That was why Marty met Evelyn when they were young.
Clarissa was finally enlightened.
No wonder she always felt that Evelyn and Marty knew each other before.
Hearing their words, Marty didn't want to hide it anymore.
He pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. Feeling a little depressed, he said in a deep voice, "At that time, my grandfather had an accident, so Mr. Hussain was discharged from the army. Then he left Flaucford with his family, and I also lost contact with Evelyn. I didn't expect that we've all grown up when we met again."
After he said that, Aidan felt a little sad.
Just as he was about to say something, Clarissa patted Marty on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay. It's not too late now. If you like her, you can still chase after her. After all, you are young. You're just in your twenties. What a wonderful age!"
Marty's face suddenly blushed.
"Clarissa, don't talk nonsense! We have known each other since childhood. Even if there is an affection between us, that must be friendship. I don't like her at all."
Aidan agreed with this.
They were too familiar with each other, so it was difficult for Marty to pursue Evelyn.
Otherwise, he would not still be single at this time.
Aidan thought of the faces in the institute that he could see every day except for the time of eating and sleeping, and felt that it was more impossible for him to be in a relationship.
Clarissa nodded noncommittally when she saw that Marty explained axiously.
"Oh, I see. Well, it doesn't matter. Being friends is quite good. Although you may not think so in heart, just say like this if you like."
"Clarissa!"
Marty went berserk. Finally, he quickly calmed down because Anderson was staring at him coldly.
There are too many lots, so the auction was divided into the first half and the second half, and there was an half-hour break between the two parts.
Marty had been teased by Clarissa, and he answered a phone call midway, saying that he needed to deal with something.
So he didn't stay any longer, said goodbye to them during the break and left.
Aidan took a vacation that day and it was not easy for him to relax. Naturally, he did not want to go back so early, so he stayed with them in the auction.
When they entered the hall in the second half, Clarissa keenly discovered that Evelyn and Moore were not there. Maybe they had left.
Although she teased Marty, she was not interested in Evelyn's private life, so she ignored it.
The lots in the second half were generally more gorgeous than those in the first half.
Clarissa saw several pieces of jewelry that she liked, but she would only give Matteo one gift, so she was not in a hurry to buy anything but continued to wait.
Then she saw a set of emerald jewelry.
With sharp eyes, Clarissa noticed that the set of jewelry was somewhat similar to which Anderson had gave her before.
Anderson also noticed it. He frowned and said in a low voice, "This is the set of jewelry owned by aunt."
Clarissa was very surprised.
"Why is it here?"
Anderson shook her head, indicating that he did not know.
Marty was not here, and they couldn't ask others, so they could only wait first.
This set of jewelry was passed down from a certain European royal family together with the red coral jewelry, so it was very popular when it came out.
Everyone knew that it was rare to see such jewelry in auctions, and this was a precious chance.
Therefore, they were all willing to spend money. Moreover, those who could participate in this auction were not those who were short of money.
Therefore, the bidding on the field became even more crazy, and someone even offered Three hundred million dollars for it.
Clarissa was a little nervous, and glanced at Anderson who sat next to her silently with his face darkened.
Aidan had seen the set of red coral jewelry before, so he recognized that the set of emerald jewelry had something to do with the Jordan Family.
He had heard the conversation between Clarissa and Anderson, so it was naturally not difficult for him to guess that something must have happened.
He whispered, "Anderson, should we buy it?"
Anderson shook his head.
"Don't hurry."
Sure enough, someone upped his offer soon.
This time, he offered 330 million dollars for it!
Although this set of jewelry was similar to the red coral jewelry owned by Clarissa, it was not as valuable as that.
Therefore, the price of 330 million dollars was the limit!
No one spoke for a while, and everyone was waiting for the final result.
Seeing this, the host hammered.
"Three hundred and thirty million dollars once!"
"Three hundred and thirty million dollars twice!"
"Three hundred and thirty million dollars..."
"Four hundred million dollars!"
A cold voice sounded, and everyone immediately turned their eyes to look over.
When they saw the man sitting there, they all gulped in astonishment.
Anderson?
How could it be him?
Why was he here?
No, when did he come here? Why did no one know about it?
Although everyone knew that Anderson always kept a low profile, they were a little surprised to see him here all of a sudden.
Seeing this, the host exclaimed excitedly, "This gentleman offers four hundred million dollars! Is there anyone who is willing to up the offer?"
It was silent all around, and no one spoke.
Four hundred million dollars? Anderson was crazy!
No matter how valuable this set of jewellery was, it was not worth so much money.
Besides, as for the collection value, the set of red coral jewellery was more collectible. That could even worth six hundred million dollars!
Seeing that no one was about to up the offer, the host hammered and gave this set of jewelry to Anderson.
The auction went on, and there were still a few good sets of jewelry.
Clarissa chose a green jade bracelet and took it as a gift for Matteo's 70th birthday.
After the auction, Anderson, Clarissa and Aidan left together.
Since people knew that Anderson was here, they all went forward to greet him.
Those people were all rich and powerful people in Flaucford.
Although Anderson didn't like such a lively occasion, he had to show them respect.
That was why it took them more than half an hour to leave.
Aidan came with Marty in one car. Marty left first and drove away the car, so he was going to let Anderson send him home.
After the three of them got in the car, Clarissa opened the box and looked at the green jade bracelet carefully. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, she put it away.
Aidan said, "Anderson, why does Aunt Chantel's jewelry appear here? She can't be short of money, right?"
Anderson was expressionless as he said in a deep voice, "Grandma and grandpa probably don't know about this matter."
In other words, Chantel sold this set of jewelry secretly.
Aidan was even more surprised when he heard this.
Chantel had not got married. She was almost forty years old, but she was as willful as a child and often did unreliable things.
