My Wife is a Hacker novel (Nicole)

Chapter 187

Chapter 187

The diamond got so much attention for no other reason than its extreme beauty.

The crystal-clear diamond, internally flawless, reflected a pale pink light. Anyone in the know would

instantly recognize it at a glance.

The blonde looked at the covetous faces of the audience with delight. She raised the auction hammer

in the air and proclaimed loudly, “The Moon House has set this pink diamond reserved price at fifty-

million dollars.”

There was an instant uproar. But those who came here are not ordinary people. Most of them were

nonchalant at hearing the reserved price. After all, it was a ten-carat, flawless pink diamond, and it had

not been named yet. The reserved price could be said to be very fair.

Soon someone held up a sign and said, “Fifty-one million.”

Zeke looked at the beautiful diamond and struggled internally. He was contemplating bidding for it first

and asked the old man for money later!

Nicole read his expression and asked, “You want it?”

Zeke looked at her and hesitated to tell her he wanted to give it to her. But still, nodded at last.

Just as the two were talking, the price had been raised to sixty-five million dollars. Nicole squinted at

the pink diamond, and before she could hit the button, someone next door had raised the bid.

Every private box had a wide-screen display showing the bidding prices, and people could place their

bids from the private box. Every time the price was raised, a bell would ring.

At this moment, the bell rang, sounding like a thunderbolt. Zeke covered his ears dreadfully.” It scared

the hell out of me!”

The blonde looked at the box that had placed the bid with a strange look in her eyes. But she quickly

announced enthusiastically, “Seventy million from Box One. Is there any higher?”

Nicole was not interested in the diamond, but she saw Zeke seemed to like it and thought it was not

bad. When another bid came again, she frowned as she fought back her desire to win. But she still

entered a figure and hit the golden button.

As the bell rang again, the blonde turned and saw the figure on the digital display. “Eighty million from

Box Two.”

All the smaller bidders looked frustrated, knowing that the price was already out of their reach as soon

as they heard the figure. They looked jealously and grudgingly at the ten private boxes above.

Whenever people inside the private box placed their bids, the smaller bidders basically knew they had

lost the bid for the item.

Fortunately, so far, the bidders in the private boxes had only intervened a few times.

Hearing the eighty-million-dollar price tag, Chloe, who unabashedly followed Jared into the Box One,

gritted her teeth. Her entire net worth was almost only eighty million dollars. If the bid increments only a

couple of millions, she might still have hope. But the other bidders raised the bid by ten million dollars

each time. She really could not afford it.

Chloe looked with pleading eyes at Jared, who was sitting listlessly in the box. He squinted, looking not

too happy as he gazed at the auction floor.
