Chapter 589

Chapter 589

Originally, Olivia was still immersed in the joy and excitement of Louis spending 6 million dollars on a

diamond ring for her. However, the thunderous applause in her ears gradually made her snap out of it.

She vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

Olivia suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Rachel, who was sitting in the private room diagonally

opposite her.

Olivia saw a faint smile on Rachel’s face as they looked at each other from afar. Rachel also had an

eyebrow raised provocatively.

At that moment, Olivia’s guess was confirmed.

Olivia’s expression darkened and her nails dug into her palms.

Rachel was doing this deliberately!

From the start of the auction, Rachel had never wanted the ring.

However, Rachel baited Louis and made him spend so much money just to buy a bunch of useless

things.

Olivia was filled with the urge to skin Rachel alive.

Meanwhile, Louis, who was sitting beside Olivia, had an extremely gloomy expression on his face as

well.

When Rachel said those words calmly, he sensed that something was wrong.

Rachel never wanted that ring.

From the beginning, her goal was to raise the price so that he would have to buy the ring at a high

price.

If Rachel had not participated in the auction, he would have been able to successfully buy the ring for

only 1 million dollars. However, now he had to pay a total of 6 million dollars.

That was a huge sum!

Rachel must have realized that she couldn’t stop him from buying the ring and giving it to Olivia, so she

thought of this method to take revenge on him.

In the end, Rachel did it because she was jealous.

Although Rachel said that she didn’t care about him, her actions had already exposed what she really

thought.

Rachel did not know what Louis was thinking. She only sensed his unfriendly gaze and smiled brightly.

“Mr. Smith, your love for Miss Cruise is really enviable. I think when the news spreads tomorrow, it will

definitely make countless people jealous and you’ll become a model husband in Seaxas.”

Everyone naturally heard the sarcasm in Rachel’s tone and thought that she was saying that because

she was jealous.

“Miss Cruise is blessed.”

“Mr. Smith spent 6 million dollars just to buy a diamond ring for Miss Cruise. It’s obvious he loves Miss

Cruise.”

The two of them are a match made in heaven. This story will be a legend in Seaxas in the future.”

Everyone praised Louis.

Even if Louis and Olivia were unhappy, they had no choice but to accept the compliments with a smile.

They were forced to swallow their anger.

Louis looked at the culprit, Rachel. She was savoring the complimentary fruit with a satisfied

expression.

Olivia clenched her fists tightly. She would remember this!

However, after knowing Rachel’s thoughts and intentions, Olivia and Louis became cautious in the

subsequent auctions. They no longer rashly bid against Rachel, afraid that they would be scammed

again.

It was also for this reason that Rachel successfully obtained a few things that she liked at a reasonable

price.

“Are you happy now?” David looked at her.

Rachel smiled. “Of course, I’m in a much better mood now that there’s no troublemaker.”

David watched as she crossed her legs and sipped on her coffee. She looked like a cat bathing in the

afternoon sun–relaxed, comfortable, and at ease.

As the auction drew to a close, some people began to secretly rub their hands in anticipation of the

final item. “It’s said to be a set of priceless jewelry that once belonged to the royal family of a certain

country. It was bought anonymously at the previous auction. Rumor has it that there is a treasure map

hidden in this set of jewelry. I wonder if it’s true.”

“It doesn’t matter. Don’t you see that everyone here is pining for it?”

“The organizer of this auction is smart. Only the top five spenders of this auction are qualified to

participate in the auction for this item. Looking at our spending. I’m afraid it’s impossible.”

Just like everyone else, the previous auction items were not what Olivia wanted. What she really

wanted was this set of jewelry that once belonged to the royal family.

If Olivia got this set of jewelry, she would be in the headlines tomorrow, and it would satisfy her vanity.

At that time, she would bribe the ghostwriters to publicize her wedding date with Louis. Not only would

she be able to regain her reputation, but she would also be able to get the people in the business world

to reevaluate the value of Cruise Group.

Therefore, this set of jewelry was extremely important to her.

Under everyone’s gaze, the jewelry that had been shrouded in mystery was finally revealed to

everyone.

The entire set consisted of nine pieces of jewelry–a crown, a pair of earrings, a necklace, a bracelet, a

brooch, a pendant, a ring, and a couple more pieces.

There were a total of 38 precious sapphires in the entire set. The sapphires were in different shapes

like a water droplet, a rectangle, an octagon, and an oval. The sapphires were also cut differently for

each piece of jewelry, and there were cuts like the rose cut and antique cut.

The most eye–catching item was the sapphire necklace. It was made of 10 octagonal sapphires. The

largest sapphire weighed 15 carats, and all the sapphires combined weighed 70 carats. It was

surrounded by diamonds and was extremely precious.

Under the light, the sapphire sparkled like the mysterious sea, dazzling and eye–catching.

David looked at Rachel. “Are you interested?”

“Meh,” Rachel said.

“Aren’t you curious about the legend behind this set of jewelry?” David raised his eyebrow when he

saw that she seemed disinterested.

“You mean the treasure map?” Rachel did not expect David to be interested in something as unreliable

as legends. She asked casually. “Would you believe me if I said it was fake?”

David said, “I believe everything you say.”

While the two of them were talking, a few people below the stage had already started bidding.

This included Louis, who bought the diamond ring for 6 million dollars. “200 thousand dollars!”

400 thousand dollars!”

“I million dollars!”

Rachel crossed her legs and tapped the table rhythmically with her fingers as if she was waiting or

secretly plotting something.

She remembered that this set of jewelry had cost her 4 million dollars.

She was still far from getting back her capital at the current bid price.

She thought that she should get things going.

As she was thinking, she heard Louis say again. “2 million dollars!”

Such a huge leap caused everyone present to involuntarily gasp.

Tonight, they had witnessed Smith Group’s wealth.

They originally thought that Louis spending 6 million dollars on a diamond ring to show his love for

Olivia was already enough. Now, he even called out 2 million dollars without hesitation as he really

wanted to get this set of jewelry.

“Louis, we have to get this set of jewelry no matter what Olivia said. “Marina likes to collect jewelry.

Ordinary jewelry is not worthy of her attention. If we can successfully bid for it and give it to her. I

believe she will secretly help Smith Group in the future!

Of course. Louis knew all this. That was why he wanted to buy this set of jewelry.

However, Rachel seemed to have guessed their intentions.

Since Rachel had put up this set of jewelry for auction, she had no intention of taking it back. However,

when she thought about how her things would be bought by Louis, she felt disgusted.
