My Secret Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2207: Chapter 2201: If You Don’t Know How, I’ll Teach You

"Is Ms. Kelloway feeling cold?" The man could not miss such a good opportunity to show off, so he immediately took off his suit jacket and wanted to put it on Rebecca Kelloway. "Ms. Kelloway, please wear my jacket, so you don’t catch a cold."

As the jacket with a man’s scent was about to be draped over her, a trace of disgust flashed through Rebecca Kelloway’s eyes, stopping him with her hand.

"Manager Ranson, there’s no need. The hall is cold, you should wear it yourself. I’ll just ask someone to find me a blanket." After saying this, she immediately called a staff member at the venue, "I feel a bit cold, please help me get a blanket."

"Of course, Ms. Kelloway, please wait a moment."

The staff member turned around immediately and went to fetch her a blanket.

The man with the rejected jacket in his hand couldn’t help but feel embarrassed with the situation.

He realized that Rebecca Kelloway was still preoccupied with Ashton Heath.

That only made him more determined to do something to win her over tonight.

A few moments later, the auction officially began.

The first item up for auction was a painting by a famous painter from the ancient era.

It was an ink landscape painting.

Although it was from the ancient era and not exactly an antique, the painter was indeed quite famous, so the starting bid was not low at 500 thousand dollars.

Everyone in the box had money to spare.

Soon enough, within ten minutes, the painting was finally auctioned off for two million dollars.

The second item was a late 19th-century blue and white porcelain vase.

It was quickly auctioned off for 5 million dollars as well.

Although there were quite a few people participating in the auction for the first few items, they didn’t attract much attention.

This auction was a small one, with not many items up for auction.

"Didn’t find anything you like?" Ashton Heath withdrew his gaze from the auction platform and turned to ask Joanna Lawrence, "If you’re interested in anything, you can participate in the auction too. Do you know how to bid? If you don’t, I can teach you."

Just as Joanna was about to speak, she heard the announcer on stage introduction in an excited tone, "Next up, we have a gemstone that I believe will interest most of the ladies present. It’s also the highlight of our auction tonight."

"Yes, I’m talking about the sapphire jewelry set you see before you. This set was given as a love token by King Henry VII to his favorite woman, Queen Elena. It later became Queen Elena’s favorite set of jewelry. Engraved on the set are the words ’My Only Love.’ Later on, King Henry VII proved his commitment to Queen Elena by loving only her throughout his life."

"So this set of jewelry also symbolizes a faithful love. I know many people here tonight are interested in this set, but it remains to be seen who will ultimately obtain it. Now, let’s move on to our bidding." noveldrama

"The starting bid for Queen Elena’s favorite jewelry set is ten million dollars, and you’re welcome to start bidding now."

On the display platform,

the jewelry set was placed under strong light and rotated 360 degrees for everyone to see.

The blue gemstones seemed like beautiful eyes of a faerie in the depths of the ocean, indescribably stunning.

Sapphires are not rare.

However, the sapphires in that jewelry set on the platform were hundreds of times more beautiful than ordinary sapphires.

Those were top-tier sapphires.

The set was mainly composed of sapphires, with other gemstones embedded along the edges.
