My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 188

Chapter 188

Jared had delegated the task of selecting auction items to Dino entirely, not expecting Dino to come up with only such an unexciting collection. Dino was standing respectfully to the side.

He bowed his head and moved a step backward toward the gold marble behind him as soon as Jared swept his gaze over.

Dino had a straight face, but the tip of his nose was trickling with sweat.

Jared looked at him with a half-smile, and Dino finally could not help but say,

"I'm sorry, mr. Johnston, the quality of this batch of goods is indeed not up to much.

But with the diamond, at least the auction will generate at least one hundred million dollars in revenue.

That's why I have positioned this auction as a Gold Session.

If it doesn't reach one hundred million, I'm willing to be punished for it."

There was a hollow, indifferent look in Jared's eyes when he heard that.

His eyes upturned, and he did not look at Dino again but shifted his attention to Box Two.

This private box was too close to his position, and he was worried about his own safety, so it had never been occupied.

But this time, a distinguished guest was inside and had raised the bid to eighty million dollars.

Jared started to replace things more interesting.

When the blonde saw no one was continuing to bid, she called out, "At eighty million once! At eighty million twice!" Dino's heart sank.

The penalty was inevitable, it seemed.

Everyone who was present completely ignored Chloe.

Chloe saw Jared had no intention of helping and could only grit her teeth and endure the pain, hoping that the other party would stop bidding After all, she could only come with Jared to such events once and did not want to let go of such a wonder item.

But she could not afford such a high price.

Just when the auctioneer was about to knock down, a bell suddenly rang from Box Three.

The blonde announced with excitement in her eyes, "Eighty-five million! Eight-five million from Box Three!"

Chloe almost fainted when she heard the price.

She really liked the diamond.

The first time she saw the diamond on the screen, she told herself that this diamond would be hers! Wearing this diamond could enhance her value, whether it was in an advertisement or a movie. As long as she had this valuable diamond, she would outclass every artist and wealthy lady.

With this in mind, Chloe gritted her teeth, stood up from the corner, and carefully walked toward Jared.

She then put up what she thought was the most beautiful smile and said, "Jared, this diamond is really beautiful, but I have limited funds."

Since she had cheekily followed Jared to come here, she might as well cheekily ask him for

some money.

Unfortunately, Jared did not even spare a glance at her but just looked at the screen in front of him, tapping gently with his fingers, looking as if a lazy snow leopard had not awakened. Nothing interested him.

Dino looked at Chloe and whispered in Jared's ear, "Do you want me to kick her out?"

Jared casually glanced at Chloe and said to Dino, "Just ignore her."

Jared then looked at Chloe and said emotionlessly, "You have a good last name."

Chloe was stunned, not knowing what he meant.

The Riddle family and Jared did not really speak the same language, so why would he compliment her for having a good last name?

Just when Chloe felt puzzled, the bell of Box Two rang.
