The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 659 Do You Not Like It?

"Congratulations, Mr. Ferguson!"

"Congratulations..."

Everyone seemed to be interested in this brief exchange, but it was quickly forgotten.

The third item in the auction was an astonishingly beautiful string of black pearls.

It was a vintage necklace with three 15 mm black paragon pearls that had a natural bronze hue to it. It was precious, rare, elegant, and flawless. There was not even a reference price on the market because it was shockingly expensive and rare.

The necklace was lying in the white box, emitting a cold light.

Everyone in the venue seemed to hold their breaths.

Industry experts knew that this necklace was worth a fortune.

The value even exceeded the sum of the previous two auction items!

After a moment of silence, the host smiled. "There's no starting price, so please bid freely."

There was no question that this necklace had no marked price.

After some commotion, people began to bid one after another.

"$10 million..."

"$20 million..."

Nicole only stared at the necklace for a moment. It was impossible not to be amazed, but she also knew that even if she bought this, it would only stay on the shelves with little practical use. What was more, Nicole did not want to come to the limelight in today's auction.

Just as Nicole was thinking carefully, Clayton, who was beside her, suddenly raised his hand.

"$50 million."

Nicole was stunned.

Immediately after that, Eric's low voice rang out. "$70 million."

Clayton continued. "$80 million."

Eric followed. "$100 million."

The value of this necklace was different from the last bidding contract. The last one was a moneygenerating business, and this was a collector's item.

This necklace was already considered very expensive to be auctioned at this price.

Clayton had no intention to be modest and surprisingly raised his hand again. "$150 million..."

The crowd sighed.

Except for Eric and Clayton, no one wanted to continue the bid.

Eric's aura was stern. He did not let up at all. "$200 million..."

He just spent $300 million on the bidding contract, and now he wanted to take out another $200 million to buy this necklace.

Everyone sighed at Eric's powerful background and staggeringly strong financial standing that was not to be underestimated.

Just when everyone thought that Clayton would give up, he smiled with gentle eyes.

"$300 million..."

The atmosphere was extremely heated. Everyone did not dare to make a sound.

There was no doubt that this was the top auction price for this string of black pearls. This value, at $300 million, was enough to become the news headlines. Nicole could not help but look over to Clayton.

"You want to buy this?"

Clayton's bid for the contract stopped at $230 million and was snatched away by Eric, but he wanted to

spend $300 million to buy this necklace?

Nicole's throat twitched slightly. Not only her, but everyone found it a bit unbelievable.

Clayton lowered his head and smiled at her.

"Well, it's pretty, isn't it?"

'Just because it's pretty?' Nicole thought.

"$400 million..." Eric's tone was icy.

Nicole looked at Eric, whose face was glum and looked like he was determined to get what was in front of him.

The so-called price was just a string of numbers for Eric.

Seeing the two men's confrontation, Nicole could really feel their financial strength.

She looked at Clayton and thought that he was simply no match for Eric Ferguson.

Nicole hesitantly spoke, "Mr. Sloan, I don't think it's necessary to buy this..."

Clayton froze for a moment. "Do you not like it?"

Nicole was stunned. 'What does it matter if I like it or not?'

With such explicit words, Nicole was a fool if she did not understand Clayton's intentions.
