Chapter 200: The End of the Auction

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The host on the stage heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that someone had finally made a bid. He picked up the microphone and was about to make a bid when Joline suddenly raised her number plate and shouted, “5 million!”

He paused and immediately changed his words, “Buyer No. 05 has bid 5 million. Are there any other buyers who want to bid higher?”

Caroline looked at her helplessly and let go.

It turned out that Joline had snatched Caroline’s number plate with her free hand to bid while everyone’s attention was on Bonnie Haus.

As soon as Joline made her bid, there were many people who joined in the bidding. Soon, the price was raised to 11 million, but the enthusiasm of the people didn’t diminish at all, and they continued to increase the price.

At that moment, there were two people who were the most dumbfounded. One was Bonnie Haus, and the other was Kelly.

Bonnie Haus didn’t understand why, just a moment ago, everyone seemed to be uninterested in the painting ‘The Field,’ but in the next second, they suddenly started to bid crazily.

Now that the price of the painting had been raised to 13 million, which was far beyond what she could afford, her confidence in raising the sign again had long disappeared.

Meanwhile, Kelly did not understand. From the looks on everyone’s faces just now, they were probably not willing to have anything to do with Caroline, the scourge. Why did they suddenly come to support her?

Finally, when Joline raised the bid to 18 million, the painting was sold.

Caroline looked at her helplessly. She donated it and her family bought it back. What was this? She had expected this to happen, so she held Joline’s hand, but she didn’t expect that she wouldn’t be able to do it.

She looked back at Bonnie Haus and saw her sitting in the chair with a depressed look. She shook her head regretfully. This was a person who truly loved the painting, but could not have it.

Joline’s emotions were the opposite of Caroline’s. To her, this was Caroline’s work that she donated and it represented Caroline’s reputation. As a family member, she should be the first to help her maintain her reputation.

Having successfully bought the painting, Joline lowered her head and took a

sip of tea. She thought that although the auction tonight was a little unsatisfactory at the beginning, the results still satisfied her.

The next item was a set of jewelry donated by Joline, and the starting price was also more than 3 million. Different from Caroline’s cold reception just now, the moment the emcee announced the start of the auction, there were already many people fighting to raise their signs.

Seeing that the price had suddenly soared to 20 million, Caroline, who had wanted to return the favor, simply put down her number plate. This kind of high-end game was obviously not something that a small shrimp like her could participate in.

The auction soon ended, and Mrs. Hall announced the whereabouts of the charity funds raised tonight, which also meant that the dinner was over.

Those who paid the money went to pay, and those who collected the items went to collect the items.

Bonnie Haus stood outside the official residence and asked Mrs. Haus gloomily, “Should I not have bid that price just now?”

Mrs. Haus was not a mean person, so she was not harsh on her new daughter-in-law. Looking at the rich people around her, she said in a low voice, “Our family can’t get involved in these things.”

Just as the two of them were about to board the car and leave, a man in a black suit, dressed like a butler, suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

Bonnie Haus grabbed Mrs. Haus’ hand and looked at him nervously. Behind him were several well-trained bodyguards.

“You are…” Mrs. Haus frowned and thought for a moment before she recognized that it was the Anderson family’s butler, Harriman. Her heart trembled. Could it be that they had really taken revenge on her? “May I know what’s the matter?”

Harriman saw the nervousness in their eyes and gave them a kind smile. “Don’t be nervous, I’m here to give Mrs. Haus something.” He pointed at Bonnie Haus.

Harriman waved his hand, and the bodyguards behind him carried an easel up. From the transparent foam packaging, it was ‘The Field’ that had just been auctioned for 18 million.

“Our Young Madam said that she hopes to find a good owner who truly knows how to appreciate it and cherish it,” Harriman explained. “That’s why she’s willing to give the painting to Young Madam Haus.”

Bonnie Haus and her mother-in-law looked at each other in shock, not understanding how this was unfolding. And the Young Madam he was talking about…. Could it be that Miss Lambert?
