The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 710

On the other hand, Trevor believed that the huge rock might have something special in it if Frankthought so highly of it.

"Mr. Lawrence, the stalactite...” he asked tentatively just in case.

He knew for a fact that Frank had several such stalactites in his own mansion in Skywater Bay. Evenif those stalactites were not as old as this one, there was no reason this particular one delightedFrank so much.

"We must have it!" Frank's reply was simple and determined.

Naturally, Sif could see that nearby.

"Yes, sir!" Trevor had no reason to refuse, seeing how determined Frank was.

In fact, he would bankrupt himself buying that rock just because Frank said so!

Meanwhile, Jenny was smiling as she introduced, "My father's friend happened to replace this milk-white stalactite while exploring a cave. It's a rare thousand-year-old stone, though we've neverlooked inside. The starting bid is ten million, and subsequent bids must be over a million.”

Though Jenny's introduction was simple, the bidders knew that the milk-white stalactite was morethan what it seemed, and the air in the auction hall became charged right then.

"20 million!"

"25 million!"

"30 million!"

Though the wealthy bidders began to compete, they weren't actually interested in the stone itself,but what it contained within.

After withstanding the wear and tear of a thousand years, what lay within would definitely bespecial.

It was obvious everyone was ready to take a gamble, and even the auctioneer was brave enough toset the starting bid at a hundred million.

And as a businessman, Trevor could certainly read the signs.

Seeing that there were less bidders and that the timing was right, he stood up, snapping bluntly ashe raised his paddle, "200 million!"

"200 million?!"

The hall was left silent at Trevor's bid, and they watched him, some shaking heads and some sighing,while others laughed in contempt.

It was a gamble, but there was no telling what the milk-white stalactite contained—it could well bejust an insignificant rock!

If that happened, one would have paid through the nose for nothing, and this was especially thecase with that 200 million dollar price tag!

Some bigwigs were shaking their heads, considering Trevor mad for that uncalculated gamble.Naturally, no one raised his bid.

Those who know Trevor were aware of his determination and how he never lost what he set hissight on.

If they could have him owe him a favor instead of fighting for it, why not?

Hence, silence ensued in the hall.

"Mr. Zurich bids 200 mil! Any further bids?" Jenny then asked loudly onstage, looking around.

As every other bidder kept quiet, Jenny pressed, "Calling 200 mil once!

"Calling 200 mil twice!"

Just as Jenny was about to say it thrice, Sif slowly raised her paddle beside Frank.

"300 million," she said and smiled provokingly at a frowning Frank, as if she had already won.
