Chapter 855 To Participate in Auction
They had dinner in peace.
After the meal, Jara went back to his study to work, while Emmeline asked Yunne to watch TV with her in the living room.
In the past, she did not like to watch TV series because she thought it was a waste of time and quite boring. However, since she had been injured during this period of time and had to stay at home every day, she became more patient. Gradually, she developed the mood to watch these things.
The two of them sat on the sofa, each holding a bag of potato chips, watching as they ate.
One of the plots in the TV series was about the supporting actress, who used some tricks to confuse the male lead so that he would misunderstand that the female lead was the one who stole the company's information.
Suddenly, Yunne blurted, "This style is comparable to Kayla's."
Surprised, Emmeline turned to look at her.
With a teasing smile, she said, "She's already gone, but your resentment against her hasn't subsided yet."
It was not until then that Yunne realized that she had made a slip of the tongue and accidentally revealed her true thoughts. Reflexively, she stuck out her tongue.
"I'm only thought it's unfair for you. You're so kind-hearted that you always allow others to bully you."
Hearing that, Emmeline smiled and did not reply.
But in truth, she knew that the reason why she didn't care about it was not that she was kind-hearted.
It was just because she couldn't care less.
For her, as long as the other party did not step on her, she did not bother to deal with those useless tactics.
Instead of wasting time and energy to deal with those insignificant people, she rather practiced throwing darts.
After watching two episodes, Emmeline felt a little sleepy.
So she went back to her room to sleep.
And Yunne accompanied her back to her room. She waited for Emmeline to fall asleep before leaving the room.
The next day.
As soon as Emmeline got up, she saw the news.
There would be a grand auction in the east of the city tonight.
Logically speaking, her character was not the kind that liked to join in the fun as she had nothing to do with auctions.
But this time, she paid extra attention to it because there was a rumor on the Internet that mentioned there would be a rare treasure in this auction, which was the Jade of Heaven.
When she saw this news, Emmeline and Jara were sitting together in the living room.
The two of them couldn't help but exchange a glance at each other and at the same time, they understood something through each other's eyes.
The Jade of Heaven was a pendant that had disappeared for four years. Now, it appeared again.
Could it be a coincidence, or was someone doing this on purpose?
After Jara's previous investigation and analysis, the two of them had already learned that all the rumors about the Jade of Heaven that could bring back life were actually false.
But even if they knew it was fake, it didn't mean that the people outside would know.
Therefore, as soon as this piece of news came out, it caused a stir in the circle.
There were a lot of people who wanted to get the tickets to the auction. Regardless of whether they could get it or not, just looking at this legendary treasure was worth it.
Since it was related to the Jade of Heaven, naturally, Emmeline and Jara wanted to go.
So, they made a decision on the stop and asked Quan to get two tickets for them, as they would go together at night.
Because of yesterday's birthday party, Emmeline's legs were swollen again.
Thus, tonight, Jara would not allow her to wear her high heels again.
Fortunately, it was not a big deal to dress up casually in an auction venue.
As a result, she asked Yunne to prepare a pair of flats that could match her evening gown.
It was not difficult to get a ticket to this auction.
Soon, Quan successfully got it.
Since the auction would start at eight o'clock in the evening, they did not rush there early. After dinner, they only set off when it was almost time.
The auction was held in a five-star hotel in the city.
When they arrived, most of the guests had also arrived.
At this time, the auction had not yet begun. Everyone was standing outside, holding wine glasses and socializing with each other. The hall was full of people toasting with each other and it was very lively.
When Jara and Emmeline arrived, someone immediately noticed their arrival.
He hurriedly came up to greet them.
"Mr. Holland, it's been a long time since we last met. You're in the mood to attend the auction today too?"
Everyone knew that Jara wasn't interested in this kind of situation either.
With a faint smile, Jara shook hands with the man and replied calmly, "Since Mr. Lee is here, of course, I can come as well."
There was a sparkle of light in the eyes of the man, who named Mr. Lee.
As everyone knew, this auction was no different from an ordinary one.
However, it was the legendary treasure, Jade of Heaven, which could revitalize the dead that attracted so many politicians, celebrities and rich businessmen tonight.
It could be said that 99 percent of the people who attended tonight were here because of the jade pendant.
But Mr. Lee didn't expect someone like Jara would come as well.
A hint of shrewdness flashed across his eyes, as his confidence in winning the jade auction tonight reduced a little bit.
However, this was just a thought in his mind, and he would never show it on his face.
In response, he smiled warmly and said, "Mr. Holland, you're too polite. I've heard that you're not interested in these things, so I didn't expect to see you here. Since you're here today, of course, everyone would be happy to see you."
With a subtle smile, Jara politely replied, "Mr. Lee, you're being modest."
After chatting for a while, the two of them excused themselves subsequently.
Before leaving, Mr. Lee glanced intensely at Emmeline.
Because Jara did not take the initiative to introduce them just now, he was too embarrassed to ask.
For someone like Jara, who has never been close to a woman, suddenly had a woman too?
Who was she?
The man was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it.
After all, it was very normal to have a female companion by his side on such occasions.
It was also possible that she was not Jara's woman at all but was just a subordinate of the company or a friend.
As he thought of this, Mr. Lee stopped thinking further.
On the other hand, Jara was introducing the people in the hall to Emmeline secretly, while responding to enthusiastic greetings.
When everyone looked at him, their eyes were filled with either respect or admiration, but more than anything else, they were on their guard.
Everyone knew that as long as it was something that Jara took a fancy to, it would never fall into the hands of others.
It seemed that tonight's auction was going to be a bloody night.
At about ten minutes to eight, the auction was finally about to begin, and it was time to enter the venue.
Everyone entered with their tickets. After entering, they would naturally have their own seats.
Jara and Emmeline were in the first row, which was the nearest place to the exhibition stage.
The people sitting in the row were all high officials and dignitaries.
Coincidentally, Isaac and Esme had arrived as well.
They too had arrived early, but somehow they didn't bump into each other in the hall just now.
They only found out about it when they arrived at their seats. Suddenly, they were both surprised and shocked.
