Chapter 292: There's Nothing between Us, Okay?
But those people believed Claire's words at face value.
Anyway, how could anyone question Frederick's words? How dare they?Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
This time, Sasha became the target of public criticism. The guests made negative comments about her and even forgot the jewelry auction, immersing themselves in watching the fun.
To be honest, the jewelry auction wasn't as interesting as the scandal of wealthy families. After all, a jewelry auction was held once a month, but such a scandal was rare to see even in a decade.
"Stop, that's enough!"
Sasha hated Claire and wanted to strangle her, but she couldn't leave herself open to charges of bias. She had to do something to prevent those onlookers from gossiping,
"I didn't let Claire go in because of a personal grudge between us. I never heard my father talk about the things that Mr. Frederick said. But my father has handed over the Felix family to me, and today is the first day I'm in charge of the family. I don't want to make it difficult for you guys. Claire, come inside."
At this moment, Sasha still didn't forget to show off in front of Claire.
But Claire didn't take it to heart at all. She didn't give a shit whom Joseph gave the Felix family to.
Putting on an elegant smile, Claire held Julia's hand and strutted in.
Julia was so happy that she gave Claire a thumbs up.
"Claire, you're awesome! You not only embarrassed Sasha, but you even made her take the initiative to let us in. She must have been pissed off!"
In fact, Claire didn't have much interest in coming to the Felix Glory Corp. for the jewelry auction, but she just couldn't stand Sasha's arrogance.
Sasha was always arrogant and putting on airs, which annoyed her.
Frederick walked behind them, and when he heard Julia's words, he gently curved his lips.
Claire was smart enough to take advantage of the situation to refute a rumor. It was very likely that the matter of her being Joseph's biological daughter would spread throughout the streets of Ascalon tonight.
Sasha watched their backs and gritted her teeth in hatred.
She couldn't let Claire ruin what she had obtained with great effort!
Hmph!
Claire could enter the Felix family unless she died!
"Wow, Claire, the scene of the jewelry auction this time is really big. It's much bigger than that of our last visit."
Last time, the jewelry auction took place on the second floor, while the first floor served as a store selling some antiques, jade and such. But this time, the entire first floor was filled with raw stones on the counters.
Big and small, and even some garbage was on the showcases.
With Claire's last pickup, the Felix family didn't dare to underestimate the junk.
Julia was so excited, pulling Claire's hand and bouncing up and down, and said, "Claire, take a look! Which piece is worth money?"
Claire took out her spotlight flashlight and looked over the raw stones one after another, but they were all ordinary materials, some of which didn't even have emeralds inside. Claire shook her head as she said, "I haven't seen one yet."
Frederick had been following their side. He kindly reminded them, "Claire, you're now very famous in the raw stone appraisal world. You have attracted many people's attention since you discovered a ruby last time. In my opinion, whatever you lay your eyes on, there will be people coming to grab it. So it's not easy to make it this time."
"That's true."
Claire nodded approvingly, "I feel the same way. Even those trashes aren't of a fixed price but come to the auction. It won't be an easy game for me."
"Actually, it's not that hard."
Frederick let out a low chuckle and took out his phone, continuing, "Feel free to look around. Just let me know if you see anything good and I'll have someone else take it then."
Furrowing her brows, Claire voiced her doubt, "Frederick, people in the street should have been familiar with the Vanderbilt family's people. It's useless for you to ask anyone to come. Since others recognize the Vanderbilt family member, they will also grab for the stones."
"Don't worry."
Frederick gave Claire a smile, dialed a number, and went to talk on the phone in a low voice.
Julia stifled a laugh, leaned to Claire's car, and whispered, "Claire, Mr. Frederick has a lot of ways. Since he said don't worry, just rest assured. Feel free to look around and let me make another fortune."
Claire forced a smile and said, "Well, it seems that I'm just working for you. Anyway, you're the final beneficiary and I'm doing it for nothing"
"Never mind, Claire. What's mine is yours," said Julia.
Claire glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, uttering, "Is that true, Julia? I would believe you in the past, but now I don't believe it at all. Tell me, where are you and
Frederick now?"
"What are you talking about?"
In a panic, Julia almost jumped up and explained, "I'm innocent with Mr. Frederick. There's
nothing between us, okay?"
Claire heckled again, "Really?"
Being stared at by Claire, Julia felt a little bit guilty. She bit her lip and honestly explained, "Claire, Mr. Frederick and I are just friends. He didn't show much affection to me, and I didn't conless, really. I'm not lying to you. I also thought that I should be bold and confess to him, but I was afraid that if I said it, I wouldn't even be able to maintain the current relationship with him, so... forget about it."
Claire had promised Sean that she wouldn't stop Julia and Frederick, but actually, she had already recognized their relationship in her heart. At the moment, seeing Julia so distressed, Claire was a little heartbroken.
"Julia, leave the confessing stull to Frederick. If he doesn't even have the courage at his age, you shouldn't insist on it. Think about it, when he liked my mother, he directly let the Vanderbilt family go to propose marriage. If he really likes you, he will definitely take the initiative to tell you. If he doesn't say it, it means that he hasn't thought about being with you yet. Since he doesn't even think about it, it doesn't really matter if you say it or not."
Julia drooped her face, and although she was sad inside, she felt that Claire had a point.
"Okay" Claire raised her hand and clapped it on her shoulder, saying, "Cheer up. I'm going to choose your dowry!"
As for things like dowry, the more, the better.
Julia was instantly energized and took Claire's arm intimately as she replied, "Okay. Claire,
let's go!"
Meanwhile, Sasha glanced at them and waved towards the side.
Immediately a man came up and stood respectfully beside her, uttering, "Missy."
Sasha pointed in Claire's direction and instructed arrogantly, "Keep a close eye on them. No matter what Claire chooses, you must grab it, preventing her from getting a piece of raw stone
here!"
Claire must be dreaming with the intention to make a fortune in her place, Sasha thought. Anyway, unlike Joseph, Sasha would never be merciful to Claire!
As Claire was checking the raw stones, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and found something amiss with the venue, as if all the attention of all the Felix Glory Corp, employees were all over her.
