Yoel and Julian turned to look at Sage at the same time. They felt their chest tighten at the sight of her
cold and grave expression.
Was Sage angry?
Sage was indeed feeling a little angry. However, throughout the years, she had learned to hide her
emotions. Furthermore, there were not many people who could anger her. Besides, she should not
waste her anger on their childish behavior.
The auction climaxed at the bid for the Columbian emerald necklace, and the crowd had lost interest in
the next item- a set of enamel porcelain plates, up for auction.
Those who had lost interest in the plates were the people who did not care for antique porcelain items.
Enthusiasts like Sage had been eagerly waiting to bid for the porcelain plates.
Starting off the bidding, the auction master announced, “One million dollars.”
Hunter had raised the sign in Sage’s stead and said, “1.1 million dollars.”
The crowd was still baffled by Hunter’s actions. He had bid 200.1 million dollars on the necklace, and
they wondered if he was really truly wealthy or whether he was simply flaunting what he did not have.
The other bidders knew that they were no match for Hunte, and they silently lowered their signs.
It was what Sage had expected to happen, however, just when the auction master was about to close
the bid a member of the audience said, “1.2 million.”
Following the voice of the bidder, Sage saw Jace who was holding up the sign.
Sage frowned.
“Why is he so obsessed with bidding today?” wondered Sage.
He had never been such a show-off.
Hunter raised the.sign and said, “1.3 million dollars.”
Jace too raised the sign and said, “1.4 million dollars.”
After exchanging a look with Sage, Hunter raised the sign again. “1.5 million dollars.”
Jace was about to raise the sign again when Yoel stopped him. “Dude, do you know that you’re going
up against Sage?”
“Yeah.” Jace asked, “So?”
Yoel was slightly taken aback. “So, why are you still going up against her?”
Jace replied gently, “I’m not. I too like the enamel plates too.”
Yoel was left speechless.
He had never met such a headstrong and insensitive man as Jace.
“1.5 million dollars going once, 1.5 million going twice… Right, this sir is offering 1.6 million dollars.”
Luther glanced at Jace and said to Sage, “Looks like he’s determined to go all the way with you. He
does know that Hunter is your assistant, doesn’t he?”
“He does,” Sage seethed.
Even though she had prided herself on being tolerant and patient, at this moment, she was fuming with
rage.
Taking the sign from Hunter, Sage raised the sign herself and said, “two million dollars.”
Sage was determined, and she would go all the way….
Jace raised his sign again. “2.1 million.”
Feeling helpless, Yoel said to Jace, “I finally understand why Sage divorced you. If she didn’t, she
would have been suffocated to death by having a husband like you.”
