Chapter 856

Regarding the matter of the Arcane Jade, because the involvement was too deep, Gregory Graham had not said anything about it to Massimo Nolan.

Massimo also did not know that four and a half years ago, the Arcane Jade was the reason why the Vermilion Bird Organization and the Dragon Regiment had gone to war with each other.

Thus, when Massimo found out that Gregory, who never liked to participate in such occasions, was actually here, he even laughed and teased.

"Gregory, you’re different now that you have a sweetheart, huh? You used to stay at home and not go anywhere, but now you're even in the mood to participate in the auction?

“There are indeed a few good things today. I heard that those pieces of jewelry are newly unearthed and were once worn by European royalty. They must be very gorgeous. You can take a look later."

Gregory looked at him with a frown and said, "I'm not interested in those."

Massimo immediately flashed him a look of contempt and said, "Hey, I'm just saying you should..."

Vickie immediately answered, "I'm not interested either."

Massimo choked at once.

He shook his head helplessly and pointed at Vickie, then said, "Aren’t you just a fool? If a woman isn't even interested in jewelry and antiques, what else can you be interested in?

“I'm telling you, don't feel sorry for Gregory and don't save money for him! As the saying goes, if you don't help a man spend his money, another woman will spend it for him! So don't be so silly. Beware that some little vixen will cheat all of Gregory's money in the future, and you won't even get a single cent."

Vickie could not help but laugh when she heard this.

She laughed and said, "Massimo, you may have misunderstood. I'm not referring to a lack of interest in jewels and diamonds, but rather a lack of interest in things that have been worn by dead people."

Massimo was taken aback, and only then did he react.

Everything at the auction had all been worn by dead people.

He then smiled and said, "Then it seems that I’ve misunderstood. You're right, who likes things that have been worn by dead people? It should be newly made."

Vickie did not answer, so Massimo turned to the other side and talked to Quincy.

She sat there quietly, and after a while, she suddenly felt her arm being gently poked by someone.

Vickie turned her head and saw that Gregory leaned slightly towards her and whispered, "I have the exact same thoughts. Things worn by dead bodies, no matter how valuable, also carry a sense of morbidness. I’ll custom make a new one for you, using the same material. It’s hard to be worse than the one dug out from the earth, right?"

Vickie glanced at him and did not say anything.

In her eyes, however, there was something like a smile.

Gregory was slightly stunned by the look in her eyes.

He did not know if it was his delusion, but he always felt that the way this woman looked at him earlier was like she was seducing him.

Vickie quickly turned away, and faintly said, "Stop learning nonsense from Massimo."

He was just fine before, how did he become so slick?

Gift it to her? Who asked him for anything?

Although she was spiteful, in the end, her heart was as sweet as if it was doused in honey.

Vickie used to think that she was not one who would care about these things. After all, she was not like any ordinary woman.

Somehow, after hearing the man say such words to her with an adoring attitude and tone, she felt quite delighted.

She closed her eyes and sighed somewhat helplessly under her breath.

Oh, Vickie, a man's sweet talk was the most dangerous trap in the world! Never fall for it!

Gregory did not know what was going on in Vickie's mind.

He just glanced at her complex expression as if she did not know what to say. He then wondered if it was because she was moved by his confession yet did not want to admit her true feelings for him, thus she was a bit torn.

Gregory was secretly proud of himself as it seemed that this method was quite effective.

At least, it would just work on her.

A certain man boasted to himself in his heart and did not realize that someone was already wary of his sugar-coated words.

Ten minutes later, the auction officially began.

Almost all of those who attended were celebrities and dignitaries. As the tickets were limited, those with insufficient status were ineligible to come.

As soon as the auction began, the entire hall fell silent. The host in a red dress took the stage and first briefly introduced the auction and gave a brief explanation of the rules of the auction, then she stepped aside.

The auction officially began.

The first item on the stage was a pair of extremely high-quality imperial jade bracelets.

It was said to have been passed down from the Eastern Han Dynasty and was considered a very valuable antique.

Although most of the people there were celebrities and dignitaries who came for the Arcane Jade, there was also a small portion who did not believe that there was really such a thing as bringing the dead back to life.

Therefore, the reason they came over was that they were interested in some of the antique jewelry and such. That was why when the bracelet was revealed, people immediately started to place their bids.

Vickie and Gregory were not interested in this, so they did not blindly dabble in the fun.

Massimo, on the other hand, asked Quincy, who was sitting next to him, if she liked it. He saw that she shook her head, so he also did not bid.

Gregory sat on the left, Vickie sat in the middle, and on the right was Massimo.

Due to their close seating arrangement, Vickie was able to hear everything Massimo said.

She heard Massimo’s lowered voice saying to Quincy, "Quincy, if you fancy something, don’t be so courteous. Last time, I'm happy that you came to my birthday party and gave me such a valuable gift. So, as a good gesture, I have to return the gift too, right?

“Besides, look at all the men present today bidding the items for their female companions. It would seem too stingy of me if I didn't buy you something.

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 “So just take it as a way to give me face and satisfy my vanity. Please just don’t be courteous with me."

Quincy was amused by his words and laughed softly.

"Young Master Nolan, you’re really...as rumored. You truly don’t have anywhere to spend your money!"

Massimo smiled awkwardly.

The Nolan family had deep roots in the local area and most of the industries were owned by them. No matter where they went, whether it be eating, entertainment, or shopping malls, it was all the Nolan's.

Gradually, word spread that Massimo was the local prince that had nowhere to spend his money because the places where he needed to spend money were all opened by his own family.

At this time, Quincy used this to tease him, which left him at a loss.

Vickie, however, chimed in at this time.

She laughed in a low voice and said, "Ms. Quincy, it’s not that he has nowhere to spend his money. This is called having the heart yet having no guts.

He obviously wants to chase after a certain girl but doesn't dare to say a word about it, so he can only express his love through an object while just hoping for your smile of acceptance."
