Chapter 2508: As Expected, Good-Looking People Are All Spendthrifts

Honeybees Club is a place where members of the Hidden Family come, a gathering of elites from all around the world, where people have seen much of the world.

Ordinary gestures don’t make them flinch.

But this situation is indeed rare.

The waiter exclusively serving Zevaney and the others immediately ran down to whisper something in the auctioneer’s ear.

The auctioneer also showed a surprised expression.

Everyone present noticed this, and others were intrigued, buzzing with discussion.

"What’s happening?"

"It’s strange, why is no one bidding?"

"I saw someone coming down from the VIP area on the second floor, perhaps some big shot has made a move?"

"Seems likely."

...

Third floor.

In Amadeus Yancey’s box.

He pressed the service bell to call the waiter and asked succinctly, "What’s happening downstairs?"

"Someone on the second floor has offered a sky-high price to bid for this rough stone, which is why there’s a delay." The waiter at Honeybees Club spoke eloquently, explaining the sequence of events in a few sentences.

"Sky-high price?"

A faint gleam crossed Amadeus Yancey’s eyes, his lips slightly tilting: "Tsk, what kind of sky-high price?"

The auctioneer had already been negotiating and was about to announce the current price.

"One billion."

Just seconds ago, the price for the ancient jade had reached nine figures, now it directly jumped to ten figures.

Such a grand gesture!

And quite bold!

Even Nathalie Quinlan became interested and asked the waiter about the collection’s background, then rubbed her chin, saying: "Even if ’he’ doesn’t offer one billion, after a few more rounds, it’ll still float around seven or eight billion, so ’he’ hasn’t added that much."

"But this person is quite smart, knowing to give the ceiling price at the very start."

"This way, ’he’ not only gets the item but also stands out."

Nathalie rarely praises others.

This time, she truly felt this person had some brains, not someone incredibly stupid.

Amadeus Yancey merely raised an eyebrow, turned and reported a price to their box’s waiter, sending him out.

Sadam Vinson had just finished a game, coincidentally heard the price Amadeus Yancey reported, twitched his lips, and glanced at the ancient jade on the stage.

He turned to the man, saying: "Amadeus, why are you bidding for this item? Buying it for Nathalie?"

"Good friends’ anniversary." Amadeus Yancey looked at the equally surprised girl, smiling slightly, gracefully lazy: "I received a gift, so naturally I have to return one. Otherwise, how to be someone’s boyfriend?"

Nathalie Quinlan’s brain was tense, her eyelids twitching hard, she reached out to pull her hat brim down to cover her eyes, while her heart ached terribly.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have been quick-tongued about some good friends’ anniversary...

If only it could be monetized.

The price he’s offering is enough for her to recreate a few of the laser missiles she previously used.

Nathalie glanced at him more, further reaffirming a deep thought: Indeed, the more good-looking ones are usually wasteful~ the better-looking, the more wasteful!

...

In the VIP area on the second floor, Zevaney Kingsley had already assumed an assured stance and started elegantly drinking coffee while talking with Regina Isadora.

Until there was no news announced below that she had won the ancient jade, she finally couldn’t sit still, stopped chatting, and restlessly said to Regina Isadora: "Mr. Isadora, why is there no movement below."

"Just wait and watch, don’t be impatient yet."

Regina Isadora frowned deeply, intently observing the developments below.
