Chapter 212 Halfmoon Island
Kaliyah gasped, and everyone looked at the big screen in shock.
Although the jade amulet prepared by Ainsley was precious, it was not rare or unique. If one
searched carefully, it would not be difficult to obtain one.
In the auction, compared with the items from others, it was not that noticeable. However, its
starting price… was exorbitantly high.
The auction became livelier after the silence just now. Everyone was discussing the jade amulet.
“Is the Easton family crazy? Such a jade amulet is not worth 16 million dollars at all!”
“It is a charity auction. We can do charity, but we are not here to be fooled!”
“That’s right. I think the Easton family is treating us like fools!”
Cason also widened his eyes in surprise. Kaliyah said pretentiously, “Cason, 16 million dollars is too
much. I think even Mr. Callahan would not set such a high price.”
Cason frowned slightly because the price was also beyond his expectations.
Irene looked at Aedan nervously with a straight face. If she knew that Ainsley would set a price of
16 million dollars a day before, she might think that Ainsley was crazy.
Now, she suddenly understood what Ainsley was going to do.
If Irene hadn’t made a mistake, she might not have been so panicked.
Since Matteo won the bid for the portrait and prevented Aedan from being disgraced, Aedan
might bid for the jade amulet to return Matteo’s favor.
The auctioneer continued to introduce, “The background of the jade amulet is not simple. It is a few
hundred years old, and it was once collected by several influential bishops…”
Aedan took a sip of tea and put the teacup down.
Irene asked, “Ms. Easton, is your collection worth that much?”
Ainsley smiled faintly, “Ms. Wade, maybe you have ignored something.”
“What?” Irene was stunned.
“Listen,” Ainsley said.
The auctioneer continued. “There is indeed nothing special on the surface of this jade amulet. Let’s
aim the camera closer to it. Actually, every bead is carved with scriptures, and the carving.
technique is amazing!”
Following the auctioneer’s introduction, everyone looked carefully at the magnified beads on the
screen. Irene did not say anything. What she said just now was so ***. What was worse, Aedan
had heard it clearly.
“The starting price is 16 million dollars.”
No one made a move, and the entire hall fell into silence again. Ainsley was enjoying the tea with.
satisfaction. It was Aedan’s private collection.
Aedan suddenly asked, “Ms. Easton, do you like the tea?”
Ainsley nodded slightly. “Its fragrance is as fresh as a gentle spring breeze, and its taste is slightly
cold. Mr. Callahan, have you added something to it?”
“Yes, the tea is placed with incense.
“16 million dollars,” Aedan said casually.
It was as if he was talking about what to eat for his dinner.
The auctioneer was stunned for a few seconds. In the silent hall, his voice was particularly
conspicuous. “16 million dollars going once! Going twice! And sold!”
Aedan smiled at Ainsley. “I have always liked jade amulets.”
“It is my honor.” Ainsley nodded.
Irene looked down angrily and tried to control her emotions. Aedan was sitting right next to her, so
she couldn’t make a fool of herself.
Aedan spent 16 million dollars to buy Ainsley’s collection! Even if it was carved scriptures, it should
not be sold at such a high price!
Ainsley guessed that Aedan was so generous, probably because of the incident of the portrait.
After the auction ended, the banquet began. Aedan didn’t like such an occasion and left. Irene bit
her lips and stared at Ainsley. She thought that the jade amulet was not prepared by Matteo.
Irene said coldly, “Ms. Easton, you have done so well. The auction item you chose won Mr.
Callahan’s favor.”
Ainsley accepted her praise directly. “I think so too. Ms. Wade, I can share my experience with you
if you need.”
Get Bots
Irene clenched her knife and fork and looked at Ainsley gloomily. “Ms. Easton, don’t be complacent
so early.”
Even if Aedan had a good impression of Ainsley, Irene thought that she still had a chance to obtain
the land.
During the meal, a man suddenly appeared. He walked to Ainsley and Matteo and said respectfully,
“Ms. Easton, Mr. Easton, Mr. Callahan invites you in.”
Others all heard it. Irene’s heart tightened, and she thought, why does Mr. Callahan want to see
them alone?
Manuel glanced at Ainsley’s back with complicated feelings.
In the lounge on the second floor, Aedan sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. Ainsley and
Matteo walked to him. “Mr. Callahan?”
Aedan slowly opened his eyes. “Have a seat.”
He came straight to the point. “I know that your efforts are all for the sake of Emerald Island. The
development of a new route is a good opportunity for the island.”
Matteo said directly, “Two weeks ago, there were rumors that you wanted to sell the land of
Emerald Island. Is it true?”
“It’s fake,” Aedan said in a serious tone.
Ainsley and Matteo looked at each other. They didn’t expect the rumors to be fake. The fake news
fooled every person in Seattle.
“I did want to sell the land, but the development project of the new route is not on Emerald Island,”
Aedan said unhurriedly.
Ainsley held back the shock in her heart.
“Where is it?” Ainsley asked.
Aedan continued, “It is on Halfmoon Island, which is close to the local ***.”
“Halfmoon Island?” Matteo muttered.
He had never heard the news. The surroundings of Halfmoon Island were similar to that of Emerald
Island. It was also surrounded by the sea and built for vacation.
Matteo smiled bitterly. To buy Emerald Island, they, as well as the guests downstairs, had done
their best.
Who was the first to spread the news? Why did everyone believe it?
Aedan smiled and looked at Ainsley. “Why did you buy that painting?”
He had seen it clearly just now. It was Ainsley who had asked Matteo to bid.
Ainsley said seriously, “Mr. Callahan, although I am not a fan of portraits, I knew that one is important to
you.”
“Someone does not know such a simple truth.” Aedan’s eyes instantly darkened.
“A month later, the Land Bureau will hold an auction. Halfmoon Island is included. However, the
corresponding information on the new route will not be released. I will not tell anyone else about this.
Thank you for helping me today.” Aedan closed his eyes again.
Ainsley and Matteo went downstairs tactfully. They did not obtain the land, but they got important
information!
