Chapter 216 Raising the Price on Purpose
Chapter 216 Raising the Price on Purpose
Makenna also recognized that the person who had just bid 200,000 was Cole. She guessed that he
must have wanted to buy the ring back for Amber.
Humph, in his dreams!
“220,000!"Makenna raised her bidding paddle again.
Trenton quickly stopped her, "Makenna, stop raising the price. This ring is not worth this much at all."
"I don't care. I don't want Amber to get it." Makenna bit her lip.
Trenton frowned and wanted to say something. At this moment, a male voice sounded, "250,000!"
This voice...
Amber said happily, "It's Jeremy!"
"I know." Cole nodded and then raised his paddle, "270,000."
Makenna hated Cole and the man who bid 250 thousand so much.
These two men must've done this on purpose to give her a hard time.
"300,000!" Makenna held the paddle tightly and raised the price by 30 thousand dollars.
The crowd burst into a commotion.
Jared frowned deeply in the private room on the second floor.
What did Makenna want to do?
Why did she want that ring so much?
"400,000!" Jared pressed the button.
The auctioneer took a deep breath and announced the offer with a trembling voice.
The crowd burst into a commotion again.
Raising the price by a hundred thousand dollars at a time!
Who had so much money?
Everyone turned to look at the No. 1 room on the second floor.
Trenton narrowed his eyes and suspected that Jared was in that room.
Trenton was very dissatisfied that Jared did not allow him to go into his private room.
After all, he was Jared's future father-in-law. Wasn't Jared afraid that this would upset him?
"450,000!" Cole bidded again.
Then, Jeremy's voice also sounded, "500,000."
"550,000!" Hayden, who had been watching, suddenly made a bid.
Amber shook her head, "Jesus, you're all out of your mind."
"Amber, don't worry. We don't want to buy that ring at all. We're just tricking Makenna." Cole shook his
paddle and smiled. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Amber glared at Cole and said, "I've figured that out. But don't forget that the person on the second
floor also wants this ring. He must be a somebody. We'd better not offend him. If he ends up getting the
ring and knows that you raise the price maliciously, you'll get into trouble."
"Don't worry, we've already offended him. The young master of the family who host this auction is my
college classmate and he told me that Jared is in the No.1 room." Cole pouted, "Jared and Makenna
are on the same team, so no matter who we are tricking, it's a win for us."
Amber was taken aback, "Jared?"
"Yes." Cole nodded.
Complicated emotions were surging in Amber's heart.
It was Jared who competed with Makenna at the beginning.
Why did Jared buy this ring? This was her wedding ring. Did he buy it for Makenna?
It was impossible.
Amber shook her head and denied this speculation.
Jared would not be so stupid to give his ex-wife's ring to his current girlfriend, so he should have other
purposes. But Amber couldn't figure it out what he wanted to do. Moreover, she didn't want to know
either.
She had already abandoned this ring, so she wouldn't bother to think about what might happen to it
next.
"600,000!" In the private room on the second floor, Jared spoke again.
Makenna was about to raise her paddle, but her hands were grasped tightly by Trenton.
Trenton glowered at her, "Don't you dare bid again."
How stupid she was to buy a ring that had been worn by someone else at such a price!
Even if she was very jealous of Amber who had a ring given by Jared, she couldn't do it.
Makenna was finally scared. She could only watch the ring being bought by the mysterious man on the
second floor.
The guest present were all talking about it.
They didn't know if the person in the No.1 room on the second floor who bought a ring with 600,000
was stupid or not.
The ring was quickly sent to the second floor.
Jared looked at the ring lying on the black velvet with unfathomable gaze.
When Amber left the Farrell Family, she only took away this ring.
But now, she returned the ring to him in this way.
Since now, Amber had no any items related to him.
Thinking of this, Jared tightened his fist. The ring in his hand seemed to have turned into something
sharp that was pricking his palm, and also his heart.
After a while, the auction was over. Everyone got up and went upstairs to the banquet hall.
Jared didn't get up from the sofa until all the people downstairs left. He walked out of the room with the
clutch.
As soon as he got out, he saw Trenton and Makenna walking toward him.
Makenna widened her eyes in disbelief, "Jared! It's you who bought the ring!"
"Yes." Jared admitted it.
As long as Makenna asked people to check it, sooner or later she would find that he was in the No. 1
room.
There's nothing to hide about.
"Why?" Makenna cried suddenly. She bit her lips and looked at him as if he had done something wrong
to her. She asked, "Why did you buy that ring? Do you want to return it to Miss Reed?"
Trenton also stared at Jared.
Jared frowned and said, "When I bought that ring, it was engraved with the Farrell family crest. It can't
be owned by others."
This was one of the reasons why he bought the ring.
Another reason was that he didn't want others to get this ring. When he thought that the ring might be
bought by Cole, Hayden, or another man, he felt angry inexplicably.
Makenna didn't know what Jared was thinking. When she heard that this ring was engraved with the
Farrell family crest, she stopped crying and asked, "Really?"
Jared took the ring out of his pocket and handed it to her, "You can have a look."
Makenna took and checked it carefully.
Seeing her movement, Jared frowned.
Although it was he who asked her to see it, seeing that Makenna was examining it carefully, he felt
annoyed, because she did not believe him.
Most importantly, she once told him in the letter that she would trust him. However, he suddenly
realized that she had never truly trusted him.
When he was pondering, he heard Makenna's pleasant voice, "The ring is really engraved with the
Farrell crest."
Jared said, "Of course."
"I'm sorry, Jared. I thought that you bought it for Miss Reed." Makenna returned the ring to Jared.
Trenton laughed out loud, "So! It's just a misunderstanding. And we've settled it."
Jared took the ring and wiped the ring with his thumb.
After he finished wiping the ring, he suddenly realized that he subconsciously felt that Makenna had
dirtied the ring.
"Jared?" Makenna waved her hand in front of Jared.
Jared came to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You're suddenly absent-minded. What's wrong?" Makenna looked at him and asked.
Jared looked down, "Something just occurred to me. By the way, Makenna, why do you want this ring?"
He put the ring in his pocket and stared at Makenna.
Makenna lowered her head in grievance, "You don't want to give me a ring and insist that you won't buy
one until we get married. So when I saw Miss Reed had donated this ring, I remembered that you own
the other one. I want to buy this ring to match yours, so we'll share a pair of couple rings."
