Chapter 34: Humiliation
Jayden didn't know what was going on either, so he looked at the president of PH Company who didn't look over, so he shook his head, "I don't know... Let's wait."
It was the first time the auctioneer had encountered such an awkward situation, so he asked again, "Any bid?"
This time, someone finally spoke up, "One dollar."
The whole room was silent.
Juliana could not help but laugh out loud when she heard it upstairs.
On the contrary, Jayden and Selene looked gloomy. The difference between one dollar and one million was so humiliating.
Seeing that no one bid, the auctioneer reminded somewhat embarrassedly, "Any more bid?"
Nobody bid any higher and the crowd was still silent.
The auctioneer had to speak, "$1 first, $1 second, last chance, sold!"
Soon, the winning bidder of the "Eternity" diamond ring went backstage to pay for it and then came back.
Selene had the sulks as she saw that the engagement ring, which had been on her finger yesterday, was now on the finger of a woman in a sexy dress.
"It's the boss of LY Group, isn't it? The woman beside him probably is his mistress."
The mistress took the boss's arm and said sweetly, "Honey, thank you for giving me such an expensive diamond ring, which represents our loyalty, true love, chastity, and eternal love." The boss nodded, "Sure. That woman doesn't deserve it, but you do."
Selene's face was purple with rage when she heard these words.
The diamond ring had been her engagement ring, but now it was sold at a dollar and given to a mistress.
It was a satire of her relationship with Jayden and an invisible slap to her face.
Selene could not hold back her anger any longer. She looked up at the second floor gritting her teeth and saw Juliana leaning against the window.
Juliana must have asked Benson to do it, in order to humiliate her.
Juliana looked at Selene with a raised eyebrow and a wide smile, not hiding the fact that she had done this on purpose.
Selene burned with anger and even wanted to kill Juliana.
But seeing a tall figure behind Juliana, she could only suppress her anger.
Jayden glanced at the second floor and pulled Selene, "Don't be mad. Our target today is the mystery diamond ring for the grand finale and I will definitely get it for you."
Benson was not someone they could afford to mess with.
Selene turned her head to look at Jayden and a flicker of disappointment crossed her heart, but then she smiled and said, "I'm not angry. I'm just thinking that Juliana probably still can't forget you, which is why she's doing this."
Jayden took her hand and said coldly, "That's her business."
Selene shook his hand, whispered to him, then got up and went out.
Juliana saw Selene go before she withdrew her gaze and turned her head to look at Benson, "You did this?"
It was an affirmation, not a question.
Benson looked at her, "Are you happy?"
That ring was worth $200,000?
With one word from him, he made that diamond ring worth $1.
Then no one would be jealous of Selene and Selene would become a joke.
Juliana frowned slightly when she saw Selene go out and come back in a short while, "Happy."
She was happy as long as Selene was humiliated.
The auction went on, but the bidders were no longer interested in the lots on stage, instead, they started talking about Jayden and Selene.
The two of them had become a joke.
At that moment, Channing came in and said anxiously, "Mr. Leach, the item Mrs. Leach offered for auction is broken, which is the next lot. What should we do?"
