Chapter 398 Not Into Her
Clarissa quickly flipped through the booklet in her hand and saw the introduction to the crescent-shaped diamond earrings.
It was a pair of natural crescent-shaped blue diamonds found in a new mine in Marley. They were very rare. After the designer's cutting and polishing, they became what they were now.
To be honest, Clarissa was tempted.
Not only her, but also the ladies present, at the moment when the earrings were displayed, they could not help but exclaim. Obviously, everyone was amused.
It was normal for everyone to love beautiful things.
They were too beautiful!
Marty was also a little tempted too, but when he saw the expectancy in Clarissa's eyes, he held back his idea.
Forget it, as a man, he shouldn't compete with a woman. There were so many women. If he competed against them, he would be hated by many people.
Sure enough, soon, some people began to bid.
The starting price was ten million dollars. It increased by one million dollars with each bid, and finally reached the amount of 80 million dollars.
Clarissa was actually very tempted, but when she saw that the price was soaring, she hesitated for a long time before holding back her desire.
"Eighty million dollars! Maybe it will be higher. It's too expensive!"
It was only then that she realized that the jade hairpins worth eight million dollars just now were just a drop in the bucket compared to the diamond earrings.
"85 million! No.26 added the bid to 85 million! Is there a higher price?"
"Ninety million!"
A voice suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked at the voice and saw that it was Arnie again.
Arnie sat in the front row with her lips slightly curled up. It seemed that she was certain that the earring would be in the bag. She raised her sexy neck high. Wearing a red dress, her fair complexion looked radiant under the lights.
Clarissa had already heard a lot of men swallowing their saliva.
She secretly despised them and looked at Anderson next to her.
Fortunately, Anderson was not looking at Arnie. He was still staring at the stage intently, expressionless all the way.
"90 million dollars! Great! No. 16 has increased it to 90 million dollars! Is there anyone else who wants to offer a higher bid?"
After waiting for more than ten seconds, no one made a sound.
Just as the emcee was about to knock on the gavel, a low, cold voice suddenly sounded, "100 million!"
What?
"100 million dollars?"
Everyone turned around in disbelief. When they saw that the bidder was Anderson, most of them had an expression of understanding on their faces.
It turned out to be Anderson. Fortunately, it was not surprising for him to bid for it at the price of one hundred million.
Everyone couldn't help but be envious of Clarissa.
However, those who did not know Anderson, when they saw Anderson's face, they were amazed.
What a handsome man!
He was rich and handsome, all of the qualities irresistible to women. Besides, everyone that could attend the auction must have an extraordinary identity. Hence, these qualities were enough to attract most women to him.
Clarissa whispered, "What are you doing?"
Anderson held her hand and didn't say anything.
"No. 32— 100 million! Is there anyone who wants to add more?"
Arnie looked at Anderson with an imploring expression.
Her expression seemed to say, "Mr. Jordan, I beg you to show mercy and let it go!"
Clarissa's expression darkened slightly.
Pleading? It was more like seducing.
And Arnie was seducing him in front of her.
Clarissa couldn't stand it anymore. Thinking of what Marty said just now, she felt even more uncomfortable.
"100 million once! 100 million twice! 100 million..."
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Arnie spoke again.
Seeing that it was Arnie again, the emcee couldn't help but laugh. "Miss, would you like to discuss it with that gentleman again?"
Arnie smiled faintly. "Sorry to trouble you."
"Okay, let's pause for five minutes."
Arnie turned around and walked towards them again.
This time, Clarissa learned her lesson and did not speak again.
Arnie walked towards Anderson and said softly, "Mr. Jordan, I like this pair of diamond earrings very much. Can you give them to me again?"
Anderson gave her a faint look of disdain.
"Who are you?"
The smile on Arnie's face froze instantly.
On the other side, Marty couldn't hold back his laughter.
Ten minutes ago, she had been dawdling here for a long while before she introduced herself to Anderson. But after more than ten minutes, Anderson didn't remember
Even goldfish had better memories.
Arnie also clearly felt Anderson was doing it on purpose. She forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry. I know it's rude to do this, but I really..."
"Miss Velazquez, you don't have another sister who is also sick who happened to like this pair of earrings too, do you?"
Marty couldn't hold it in any longer and mocked.
In fact, Arnie had noticed Marty for a long time. After all, he was the second son of the Blaine family, and frequently featured on the titbits section of the news.
It was just that her target was not a rich playboy, but Anderson, who might be of great help to her father's politics and financial affairs. That was why she did not speak to him.
At this moment, seeing him open his mouth, Arnie couldn't help but smile and said, "Young Master Marty, you must be joking. My other sisters are all in good health. Only Andrea is sick. These earrings are something that I personally like very much, so I want to ask Young Master Anderson to give it to me."
Clarissa looked at her and suddenly said, "But why do you think he has to give in to you?"
Arnie was slightly stunned. It seemed that she didn't expect her to say anything.
She smiled charmingly. "Miss, you don't understand this. One of the good qualities of gentlemen is that they don't compete with women. It doesn't matter if you still don't understand now since you are still young. When you grow up, you will understand."
On the other hand, Clarissa felt quite uncomfortable when she heard the undertones in her words.
"Really? What if we don't want to give it to you today?"
Arnie smiled slightly. "It's all up to Young Master Anderson."
With deep emotions in her eyes, she stared at Anderson. "If Young Master Anderson is willing to do me a favor, I will be very grateful. If there is a chance, I will repay your favor."
Seeing how Arnie was flirting with Anderson, Clarissa's expression darkened a little.
Marty smiled, "How are you going to repay him? Marriage?"
Unexpectedly, Arnie did not deny it. She just chuckled and said, "If Young Master Anderson is interested, I'm fine with it."
Clarissa couldn't hold it in any longer. Arnie obviously saw that Clarissa was just right beside Anderson. Was Clarissa dead to her?
She said coldly, "Miss Velazquez, I thought you should know that Young Master Anderson is a married man. Isn't it a bit too embarrassed for you to seduce him in front of me? Is this how the members of the Velazquez family carry themselves?"
Her words were very harsh.
If it had been someone else, they would have turned hostile as soon as they heard these words.
Unexpectedly, Arnie covered her mouth and chuckled. "Oh, Mrs. Jordan, you got anxious. I am just joking. Why do you take it so seriously? You don't trust Mr. Jordan?"
