Chapter 153

Chapter 153 The Last Phoenix Coronet “It would be great if I could get to be in charge of Applegath’s contract. If my grandpa let me follow up, we can be together often.” Irene fantasized.

Manuel didn’t say anything but put the sign on the table. He didn’t even look at all the auction items tonight, except for the purple diamond, which was taken away by Irene.

Of course, he remembered that he had taken a pink diamond that was also made by the same designer. He gave it to Ainsley, and even Matteo failed to get it.

The penultimate collection was a pair of calligraphy and painting, which was bought by Cason for twelve million. And the last one was a phoenix coronet, which was an antique.

The golden phoenix coronet with emerald and other crafts on it.

According to the host, this phoenix coronet was made of pure gold. What’s more precious was that it was embedded with more than 400 precious stones. The value was immeasurable. The starting price was set at twenty million. Such high–standard auction items were rare even in South Seattle Venue.

Once the auction started, it doubled directly from twenty million.

There was no one here who was not familiar with antiques. This was at least from hundreds of years ago. Apart from its own value, its age value was also very precious.

Although Irene had already taken a few pieces, she still couldn’t help but want this.

“One hundred million.” This was already a sky–high price.

The phoenix coronet collected in the museum was two hundred million, so Irene even though the price could be higher.

Until the end, no one raised the price.

She looked at the gorgeous phoenix coronet on the stage with a smile, and all she thought about was marrying Manuel with it.

In the next second, Manuel raised the sign in his hand, “Three hundred million.”

The price directly increased by one hundred million, and even the host was taken aback.

Irene opened her mouth but said nothing.

She felt that even if Manuel took it, it would be hers in the future.

Everyone knew the significance of the phoenix coronet. Manuel didn’t raise the sign often tonight, but once he raised it, everyone knew that he would definitely take it. Who could compare to the Gage family?

Just when everyone thought it was a foregone conclusion, Matteo smiled and said, “Three hundred fifty million.”

The Easton family! It turned out to be the Easton family!

A few days ago, there was a rumor about Ainsley dating Manuel, but after a few days, the person around Manuel turned into Irene, and Ainsley also returned to the Easton family.

Only then did everyone know that Ainsley was actually from a wealthy family, not a down–and–out lady.

Kaitlin was even more jealous. Irene had already taken away the purple diamond just now. She liked this phoenix coronet very much, but she also knew that Cason would never buy it for her.

This phoenix coronet would eventually fall into Irene’s hands, but after Manuel made a move, why did Matteo also make a move?

He really dared to confront the Gage family. Manuel must have bought it for Irene, and this time he completely offended the two families.

Just when everyone thought the price would double again, Matteo remained silent when Manuel said four hundred million.

Manuel finally got the phoenix coronet at a price of four hundred million. If it wasn’t for Matteo’s bid, he might not have had to pay the extra fifty million.

Matteo smiled and said to Ainsley, “It’s good to let him waste some more money.”

How could Manuel not know what he meant? But he was willing to pay.

At the end of the auction, Kaitlin accidentally ran into Serina, only to realize that she had become crazy again.

The last time she was tricked, this time she was finally sure that Serina was really crazy.

A fool who could only hide behind Ainsley, and not even dared to look around.

She secretly recorded Serina’s behavior with her phone and planned to save it from taunting her later.

When Ainsley and Matteo were about to leave, Irene stopped Ainsley and gave her a business card, “Ms. Easton, if you need anything in the future, and it is inconvenient for you to find Manuel, you can also call me. I am not going to leave again this time, and I am also worried about Serina.”

Ainsley took that business card and smiled awkwardly.

Matteo parked the car on the side of the road and pulled Ainsley into the car. He returned the business card to Irene, “Miss Wade, my cousin will not contact you. I will contact you guys if there is anything wrong with Serina.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Manuel, “Oh, by the way, last time Serina hurt my sister with a kitchen knife, so don’t forget to pay for medical expenses and mental damage. Mr. Gage is so rich, so you would pay compensation, right? Just send it to my company account.”

“Hurt? Where is it?” Manuel frowned and looked at Ainsley.

His eyes were full of cold stars and the moonlight like water.

The galaxy was dotted with the vast twilight and the bright moon, and even the hair of the woman could be seen delicately.

“Mr. Gage doesn’t need to care about this. We won’t bother Mr. Gage and Miss Wade.

We’ll go first.” Matteo’s tone was not kind.

Manuel stared at her back and got into the car in dismay. Irene sat in the back seat with him, and the driver drove to the Gage Group.

Irene didn’t mention phoenix coronet’s matter because she was sure that it must be hers in the end.

She showed Manuel the photo she had received. It was a photo of Ainsley and Cason.

“Looking at it this way, the two of them look like a good match. Why did they get divorced?” She sighed with emotion, and said intentionally or unintentionally, to Manuel.

Manuel saw her eyes from the rearview mirror, “You don’t know?”

“Of course, I know, but it’s just a pity.” Of course, she knew everything.

From the moment she decided to come back, she investigated everyone who appeared around Manuel.

He nodded, “Then you should know it’s not her fault.”

“I didn’t say it was her fault. Maybe it was her bad luck that she kept meeting people who were not suitable for her.” Irene’s tone also softened.

But soon, she laughed again, “But Cason seems to want to pester her.”

“This is her business.” He declared again.

Irene didn’t speak anymore, and she looked at Manuel solemnly, thinking the phoenix coronet that he got would either appear in her hand or Ainsley’s.

On the way back, Cason didn’t say a word.

Kaitlin showed Kaliyah the video she had taken, and said in a low voice, “Kaliyah, Serina is really crazy. I suspected it before, but this time I can finally be sure.”

Kaliyah took the opportunity to say, “It seems that her psychiatrist is Ms. Easton, and she has been treated for so long. Is there still no improvement?”

Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)

Chapter 152 Love’s Change of Heart Chapter 872 “That’s right. I think that her qualifications are all fake, and it is just good luck. It’s ridiculous that she wants to be the school’s psychological counselor when she can’t even cure Serina!” She mocked.

Kaliyah continued, “The University of Washington shouldn’t be so unprofessional. Ms. Easton must have rich knowledge and theory, but her practice is a bit poor. I’m just curious. There are so many famous psychiatrists, why did Mr. Gage choose her?”

Kaitlin seemed to understand something, “I want to expose her! She is a hypocrite!”

Cason finally spoke, “Kaitlin, have you forgotten what grandpa said?”

“I haven’t forgotten. Why are you always on Ainsley’s side instead of mine?”
