Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 860 I mean it

The four of them stood in the hall and talked for a while. Soon, at the start of the second half, a crowd

of people entered the room again.

They were exactly where they were before. After everyone had sat down, the auction was declared

started.

The items in second half were naturally much more valuable than those of the first.

There were paintings by ancient masters, jade seals that had been lost for thousands of years, and

scepters used by European royalty.

In short, there were all kinds of rare treasures.

But perhaps with the last rare treasure was getting closer and closer, this time, everyone has become a

lot of caution.

But perhaps as the last of the great treasures drew nearer, everyone became more cautious.

Everyone was no longer looking at the items in front of them. They were all holding their breath, quietly

waiting for the last treasure to appear.

Irvin, of course, had heard of this last treasure. He probably thought Queeny and Felix were on the

same side and joked with them.

Then he turned to Martha and said, “I feel like it’s a lie to bring the dead back to life and live forever. If

we were to live forever for thousands of years, wouldn't we be an old monster?”

Martha gave him a half-smile. “If being an old monster means being immortal, then it doesn't matter.

The point is immortal, don't you want to be immortal?”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The smile on Irvin’s face froze.

Then he shook his head quickly.

“No.”

Martha looked incredulous.

But Irvin looked very serious and said, “After all, there is only one copy of this treasure, which means

that only one person can live forever. If I do use it, and everyone I know in the world dies, then I'm the

only one left alive, what’s the point? The most important thing is…”

He paused for a moment, then said, with the utmost seriousness and seriousness, “Without you, I

wouldn't want to live for another 10,000 years.”

Martha's expression froze.

She seemed to freeze.

She looked at him, and neither of them said anything. In such a dark environment, they seemed to see

thousands of words from each other's eyes.

Finally, she turned awkwardly and said, “Stop it.”

If he continued, she would be moved to acquiesce to his advances.

Irvin didn't know what she was thinking. He just thought he had offended her and whispered, “I’m

sorry.”

After a pause, he added, “But I mean it.”

Then he fell silent and said no more.

Martha also said nothing more.

The lot was nearly sold by the time.

And here came the last one. The Celestial Book, that everyone had been waiting for, was about to

appear.

Queeny could tell that from the moment the host introduced the last item, the room suddenly became

so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Almost everyone was waiting for it with bated breath.

Finally, after the host finished a simple introduction, she announced, “Please welcome our last piece of

auction, known as the priceless treasure, the Celestial Book, which can bring the dead back to life!"

As her voice fell, the curtain on the side of the stage was pulled back. Two fully armed workers came

up, pushing a glass display case.

The glass showcase was but a meter and a half high, and the height just reaches the line of sight

position of people sitting, so as to facilitate people’s viewing.

In the middle of the glass showcase, there was a piece of crystal jade.

The Jade was white. It was presented as a whole in a crystal color. It is a rectangle with a little arc in

length and was only about three or four millimeters thick.

Such a small thing, it was lying there quietly, but made everyone amazed.

The host began to introduce its origin and efficacy. Queeny and Felix recognized it at once as the book

that cause the battle between the Dragon Club and the Rosefinch Club.

She couldn’t be wrong!

Because it was over this little piece that the two clubs fought with each other, and they both lost.

Queeny's eyes were solemn, Felix's face grave, and they both raised their plates.

“Eighty million!”

At the first bid, it was the highest of the night.

But even then, the price was immediately raised.

“Eighty-five million!”

“Ninety million!”

“Ninety-five million!”

There were rules, because this treasure was so rare, and because of its unique properties, it was a

treasure that almost everyone wanted, we could say.

So the mark-up on it was quite high, at least five million dollars a pop.

Not a small number. Even for relatively wealthy families, that was still a lot.

But that is nothing in the eyes of those present today.

So the bidding intensified.

But Queeny and Felix did not raise their bids after their first bid.

Irvin saw that they wanted the treasure very much and was worried when they stopped bidding.

“Why don't you raise the price?” he urged. “These old guys are very ruthless, they'll probably buy it

later.”

They ignored him and stared seriously at the stage. On the other hand, the price had been raised to

more than $300 million, and at that price, a lot of people were starting to balk.

After all, the rumor was that this thing would make you immortal, and bring the dead back to life.

But most of the people present were intelligent, and how could they not know that immortality and

resurrection are sometimes a figment of human imagination?

In fact, cells in the human body tended to become senescent with age, so how was it possible to live

forever?

Therefore, everyone was still a little bit eager to try at the beginning, with a gambling spirit.

But as the price went higher and higher, eventually reaching half a billion dollars, a lot of people started

to back off.

After all, it was okay to gamble on a treasure.

But if the stakes were too high and it really didn't work that well, spending half a billion dollars on a

piece of jade would be a joke.

So, in the end, the price had reached 800 million, and there were only two people bidding.

One was Mr. Clemen, who came to greet Felix earlier, and the other was a foreigner.

Seeing Felix and Queeny remain silent, Irvin was very anxious.

He was afraid that it would end up in Mr. Clemen's hands and he would show it off to him. So he said

urgently, “Felix, are you short of money? I’ll lend you as much as you want. Just beat this old man.”

Felix glanced at him as if he were looking at a fool.

Irvin wanted to say something, “…”

Martha tugged at his sleeve and said, “They're still bidding. What’s the hurry? When they fight it out,

Felix will bid.”
