It had way less value compared to antiques.
Everyone stared at Ryan in disbelief. Twenty million for a piece of jade? Is he crazy?
The crowd quickly looked toward Richard. Will he increase the bid? Is he going to do that?
Almost everyone had their gazes fixed on Richard. Unexpectedly, the man suddenly let out a low
chuckle and said, “I’ve heard that each of the direct descendants of the Yates family owned a piece of
red jade like that. Mr. Yates, looking at how you’re so bent on getting it, is it because… it was
previously owned by the eldest daughter of the Yates family?”
Everyone gaped in shock upon hearing that.
Does that mean the red jade originally belonged to the Yates family? Is that why Ryan is so determined
to get it?
Mary snapped out of her shock after hearing Richard’s words. Her expression froze at once. Then, she
looked at the red jade that was glowing under the light, hardly believing her eyes.
Her heart was thumping wildly as color gradually drained from her face.
N-No… That can’t be. How is it possible that the red jade is a possession of the Yates family? Its
original owner was the eldest daughter of the Yates family? How can that be? It’s… It’s impossible!
Richard must have gotten it wrong.
Penelope was in utter shock as well. Mom doesn’t know anything about the red jade. What does it
mean? Isn’t Mom supposed to be the eldest daughter of the Yates family?
A scary thought surfaced in the woman’s mind.
Could Mom be an… imposter? Does that mean she has been pretending to be the eldest daughter of
the Yates family all this while? No, that can’t be.
Penelope bit her lower lip and looked at Mary, her face as pale as a sheet.
Everyone present turned their attention to Ryan, anxious to hear the truth about the origins of the red
jade.
It was beyond Hera’s wildest imagination that the piece of red jade could fetch twenty million.
What secret was Alice keeping? Mr. Shaw said that only direct descendants of the Yates family had a
piece of red jade like that… But isn’t Alice a Chapman? This…
Here, standing on the auction stage, was unable to think clearly.
Her mind had gone blank in an instant.
She only regained her senses when her mother suddenly dashed onto the stage and grabbed the red
jade. “We’re not auctioning this red jade anymore,” Sisley said, her face ghastly pale.
A crease appeared between Ryan’s brows as he stared at the woman and said, “You’ve signed an
agreement for each item here to be put up for auction. How can you just decide not to sell it?”
“We can’t sell this. She stole this piece of red jade from her grandpa. She was just being playful but
went overboard. This is really not for sale…” Sisley gripped the red jade in her hand, her expression as
dark as thunder. “Mr. Yates, this jade is really precious to my father… You can’t buy it. You really can’t.”
“That’s not up to the Chapman family to decide. You can’t change the rules of the auction as you wish.”
Ryan snatched the red jade from Sisley’s hand and stared at her. “Twenty million going once, going
twice, sold! Since no one is willing to go higher, this item is mine now,” Ryan, who was usually gentle
and elegant, announced domineeringly. He was clenching the red jade in his palm. However, before he
could examine the jade, Sisley suddenly lunged at him in an attempt to snatch it back.
Ryan took a few steps backward and managed to dodge her.
Missing her target, Sisley looked at the man with bloodshot eyes and said, “It doesn’t matter if the red
jade originally belonged to the Yates family. What’s certain is that it is currently the Chapman family’s
property. Mr. Yates, please return it.”
Ryan threw her a disdainful look before opening an application on his phone to make payment for the
red jade.
There was nothing Sisley and Hera could do as they watched the man pay his bid price of twenty
million.
“Since I’ve already paid for it, this officially belongs to me now!” A cold and mirthless smile appeared on
Ryan’s face. “I just want to know how the Chapman family got their hands on this piece of jade. Do you
think you’re fit to have it?”
The crowd had their attention fixed on Ryan and Sisley. The Yates family had always maintained a low
profile, and it was the first time Ryan, the heir of the family, had publicly insulted another family.
