Chapter 293: Don’t Change the Subject
Besides, some of the guests also stole a glance at her from time to time. And even some of them
picked up the raw stone which Claire had just checked and then put it down, as if what she had looked
at was some rare treasure.
It seemed that Frederick’s worry was not unfounded, and the following would depend on Frederick’s
arrangement.
“Claire, have you seen anything good?” inquired Julia.
Claire put down the raw stone in her hand and turned to another counter, replying, “Julia, be a little
patient. How could there be so many good things in a jewelry auction? I haven’t finished looking yet.”
Julia chucked with embarrassment.
With a cash cow by her side, Julia had an extraordinarily good mood. She said, “Claire, I don’t think we
have to make a fortune. A few million could be enough. I don’t mind.”
A few million?
Claire rolled her eyes at her, saying, “Do you really think the stuff in the jewelry auction is all priceless?
A few million would be much for a raw stone! Besides, the Felix family’s appraisers are not stupid. They
have checked these stones before. If there was some valuable stuff, they would have kept it
themselves. Just take it slowly.”
“How can I not be in a hurry?”
Julia casually put her hand on a piece of raw stone, and sighed dismally, “I don’t want to earn anyone’s
money except that of the Felix family. If you

of revenge.”
Wait!
Claire’s eyes suddenly fell on the raw stone under Julia’s hand, which was not very eye–catching, nor
was it too big. It was only as big as the size of
her two palms spreading out.
As for its appearance, it was rough and hadn’t undergone any processing,
stained with some dirt. If it was thrown out the door and placed on the
street, it would be a particularly ordinary stone.
“Julia, keep your hand off the stone.”
Julia froze for a moment, woodenly lifted her hand away, and asked, “What’s

“Nothing, let me see.”
Claire picked up the piece of raw stone and shone the spotlight flashlight at

she put it down.
“Claire, how is it?”
“Not great.”
Claire shrugged and continued with disappointment, “It’s true that you can’t see anything good at the
Felix family’s jewelry auction.”
Judging from Claire’s look, Julia thought it was not good. With little confidence, she said, “Then did we
come here today for nothing? It’s all a bunch of junk.”

“Yeah.”
Claire nodded and walked away.
Immediately, two guests came over and picked up the piece of raw stone, looking at it for a long while,
but not finding anything unusual.
“This piece of raw stone is too ordinary. Perhaps there’s no jade inside.”
“Exactly. The Felix family sucks this time. Any garbage can be put on the
stand…”

The guest pointed to the piece of raw stone, continuing, “In the last jewelry auction, it was sold for a
fixed price of five hundred dollars. How could they exhibit it for auction?”
The two men looked at each other discontentedly and continued to follow Claire not far away.
Claire had basically checked all the raw stones on the counter on the first floor but she hadn’t found a
unique stone yet, which perplexed them.
“Uh, when Claire checked these raw stones, she didn’t even show a surprised look. It seemed that she
was looking at a garbage. Do you think there is no good stuff in the jewelry auction?”
“That’s not necessary. Maybe this is Claire’s trick. Perhaps she has seen the
good ones and memorized in her heart, waiting to make a bit.”
“You’re right. Then, as long as Claire makes a bid, we should add the price. As long as the price isn’t
too outrageous, we must take it.”
“Okay! Anyway, we have the money. Maybe we’ll make a big profit!”

Frederick has been following behind Claire and Julia not far away. Hearing the words of those two
people, he gently curved the corner of his lips. It seemed that Claire had been considered as a cash
cow by the people at the venue. It’s interesting!
He laughed, took his cell phone out, and sent a message to Sean, which read,

“Your wife is really hot. Do you know that?”
Soon, Sean replied, “Say it clearly, hot for what?”

Frederick jerked the corner of his mouth hard, and his finger quickly typed on the screen, “I mean she’s
popular! We are now at the Felix family’s
jewelry auction. The whole crowd is staring at your wife, considering her as a cash cow. You really
have a good taste to have found such a beautiful,
smart and capable wife. I guess the whole Ascalon is now envious of you.”
Sean quickly sent over a smug emoji and then attached a sentence, “I know.
You’re envious too.”
Frederick didn’t bother talking to him anymore and put his phone back in his
pants pocket.
He noticed that ever since Sean got back from Silverton, he had been talking differently. He used to be
serious and cold, but now he joked and was even
more smug.
He was talking like a young man. no longer as mature as he used to be.

Thinking of this, Frederick suddenly recalled Julia simulating him to be serious, and he couldn’t help but
laugh out loud.

“Frederick, it seems that you’re in a good mood today. I see you’ve been laughing,” Claire teased.
Frederick patted his pants pockets, uttering, “It’s done. The man is already here. Later, you can just tell
me what number to bid and I’ll take care of everything else.”
Claire wagged her finger and said with a smile, “Frederick, don’t change the subject. I’m asking you
what you’re laughing at.”
Frederick shook his head smilingly and replied, “I just told Sean that his wife is now the center of
attention in the room. Everyone is treating your like a cash cow. He’s very proud and arrogant. I just
couldn’t help but laught when I thought of his arrogant look.”
At the mention of Sean, Claire pouted in displeasure and said, “Well, he has time to chat with you, but
he hasn’t replied to my WhatsApp yet!”
Frederick was surprised.
Did Sean do something wrong?
Frederick cleared his throat awkwardly, pointed upstairs in a hurry and said, “Let’s go upstairs. The
jewelry auction is about to start.”
Seeing the guests heading upstairs, Julia excitedly tugged on Claire’s arm and said, “Claire, it’s
starting. Let’s go.”
Claire grunted depressingly and didn’t dwell on this matter any further.

There were a lot of VIP guests at the jewelry auction who had booked their seats long ago. With the
unprecedented number of people arriving today, the ones who arrived first had taken up the seats that
were originally
available.
Claire and Julia furrowed their brows when they saw no seat was vacant.
There’s no room!”
“We’re not going to stand and watch, are we?”
Frederick raised his hand and beckoned the waiter next to him, querying. “Are
