Revenge On My First Love

Chapter 289 Team up to Fool Olivia

"Shut up," Olivia mouthed these two words silently.

Soon, Drake raised his bidder card again, "300 million."

Holy crap.

It turned out that it was Drake Riley who was in charge of the Riley family. For him, money was only a

number in his bank account. Comparing with Drake's bid price, Roman clearly was not wealthy enough.

Roman just added 1 million while Drake added 100 million directly. How humiliating it was for Drake.

As expected, Roman's face darkened. 201 million was the most he could offer. It didn't occur to him

that Drake would offer 300 million. That was totally out of his reach.

Drake looked at Roman and said, "Do you still want it? If you do, I could let you have it."

Being humiliated in public like this, Roman could not feel more ashamed.

Olivia felt a headache. She had warned Roman before, but he still acted so impulsively and didn't obey Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

her. If she had expected all this, she would not have brought him here.

The crowd was waiting for his answer. Roman had no other choice but to say through gritted teeth,

"No."

Some people were laughing.

Drake said in a mocking tone, "Good boy."

It was as if he was cajoling a child.

The hostess continued, "300 million once. 300 million twice. Sold."

The pink diamond eventually went into Drake's pocket.

"Now let's see the next object. It's an artistic one. The First Communion from Picasso."

"It's Picasso's first painting that ever showed up in an auction. When it was first auctioned, it was sold

for 600 million. As its owner is in the last days of his life, he would like to find it another keeper."

"The starting price is 100 million. Please offer a price at least 1 million higher each time."

Anyone who knew something about art should know that the First Communion from Picasso had a

great value of the collection. The painting was so delicate. The seven rocks were so alive as if they

were something real.

The head of senior officials loved this painting very much. Harris and Zain must have come for it.

And they bid prices as expected.

Drake smiled playfully, "Should I be part of it?"

Sophia smiled as well, "Don't hesitate. The more you hesitate, the more likely you will lose it. 300

million!"

She bid directly.

"301 million." Olivia bid.

"400 million." Drake also bid.

It was known to other bidders that Sophia and Drake was a couple, but they were confused what this

couple was trying to do, to fool Olivia?

Olivia had a final price in her mind, but the bid price was getting closer and closer to her final price.

If Sophia and Drake continued to meddle, the hammer price would far exceed her final price.

What should she do?

Probably because she didn't make a move, Zain tossed her a glance.

Olivia thought, 'How expensive could a painting be? Her final price is very reasonable.'

"405 million."

Thinking it was funny to frustrate Olivia, Flynn also bid, "500 million."

Olivia fidgeted. She knew it!

Roman murmured, "Mom, how about we give it up?"

"You know nothing!" Olivia glanced at him, "505 million."

"700 million." Sophia was getting bored.

Olivia bit her lips tightly. How she hoped she could kill Sophia with her eyes.

The hostess asked, "Any more bid?"

Zain was a bit anxious.

Olivia had no other choice but to offer a price, "800 million."

"900 million." Sophia bid.

Zain felt he was screwed up. What if he couldn't get it? He was so far away from Olivia. He couldn't

even give her a hint. Now, he could only hope that she could find a way.

If they failed...

Olivia stamped, "One billion."

Surprisingly, no one bid this time.

Olivia was nervous at first, and then relaxed.

"One billion once. One billion twice. Sold."

Now, she could breathe in relief.

Though it cost 200 million more than her final price and she spent all her money, it was worth it.

Harris was a bit disappointed for he didn't get this painting.

By contrast, when Zain came out and noticed Harris, he said to the latter silently with a faint smile,

"Thank you for letting me win."

When the auction finished, Sophia and Drake happened to bump into Harris.

He was still upset. When Sophia said hello to him, he was even a bit absent-minded.

Sophia smiled, "Mr. Sutton, it was just a painting. It's not a big deal."

Harris once thought Sophia would be different from those rich ladies he had known, but she turned out

to be a shallow thinker as well.

"Miss Lawson, it means something for me, but it's not necessary for you to know. I'm a little tired,

excuse me."

Sophia was not surprised that he would think so. After all, there was something he didn't know as well.

It was acceptable.

As she was watching him leaving, Sophia smiled, "Mr. Sutton, I hope you could know that if something

is yours, it will be yours even if you don't do anything."

Harris didn't understand. He also had no intention to do so. He simply left.

Sophia didn't mind being ignored. At that time, one staff member came and delivered the necklace.

All of them gathered to watch it.

Chloe said, "Quick. Beautiful necklace for beautiful woman. Put it on, Sophia."

Drake was about to do so.

He held it up and put it on Sophia.

"You know what, Sophia. I always think you can look gorgeous wearing anything, and now it turns out

to be true. Look at the necklace, it's so beautiful on your neck."

"Do you want to try it on?" Sophia was about to take it off.

"No, Drake gave it to you. I don't want that."

Bailey suddenly felt down, "Chloe, you shouldn't have stopped me."

Chloe rolled her eyes, "What are you talking about? If you had bid earlier, I would not have given it up.

But you didn't."

"I..."
