Chapter 87 Respect
“A hundred and ten million!”
Just when everyone was still in shock at the starting bid, someone from the private rooms on the second floor had already increased it.
“A hundred and twenty million!”
It was followed by another bid from one of the private rooms.
“A hundred and thirty million!”
“A hundred and fifty million!”
In a blink of an eye, the lavender jade figurine’s price escalated to a hundred and fifty million.
All in less than a minute.
Subconsciously, those in the grand hall began to look toward the second floor.
It was then they realized the truly wealthy were all seated in the private rooms there.
Inside room number six, Jonathan had lit a cigarette and was scrutinizing the figurine.
Just from its color alone, one can tell that it’s made from premium quality imperial jade. Also, since it’s sculpted by Roscoe, its value is beyond measurable.
When Jonathan was still a live-in son-in-law at the Smith residence, he had already heard of Roscoe and knew that he was the nation’s greatest carver.
The figurine seems to make a good present for Josephine’s annual party, doesn’t it?
