Chapter 38: The Hill Family Was Fooled

It was easy to make a pendant with gold and silver.

All they needed was to melt and cast the metal.

But jade was hard and it required skilled carving to make it into a pendant.

That was why jade was unique.

Sandra recognized it at a glance.

She found it interesting.

Zachary had just taken the pendant back, and now it appeared at the auction.

There must be a mole in the Cooper family.

The jade pendant had good quality, so the starting price was 300,000 dollars.

After the auctioneer announced the starting price, only a few people bid, and the price only reached. 400,000 dollars.

Sandra smiled slightly, added 10,000 dollars, and won the pendant for 410,000 dollars.

Wesley had already guessed her intention when he saw her raising the paddle, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Only Joey was left speechless.

He didn’t understand.

“Mrs. Cooper, why did you have to buy it?”

Sandra could have just asked Hailey for it.

She didn’t need to buy it.

Sandra didn’t explain because the next item was hers.

“The next item will stun everyone.”

The auctioneer’s words got everyone curious.

The previous items were ordinary and made everyone think that this auction was a waste of time.

Upon hearing the auctioneer’s words, everyone stretched their necks and looked towards the stage.

The people present all had a background.

Many of them knew the value of this kind of red ink.

First, ink makers collected extracts from various plants and animals, such as tree sap, graphite, plant juices, and insect secretions.

Next, the raw materials were crushed into fine powder and blended in the desired proportions.

Then, the mixture was boiled with water, filtered to remove sediment, and dried into powder.

Finally, a diluent was added to achieve the desired viscosity and flowability of the ink, and preservatives were added to extend the ink’s lifespan.

It could be said to be extremely rare!

However, this kind of red ink was relatively niche.

Those who enjoyed painting or calligraphy considered it a treasure.

There were also people who collected it simply because it was hard to come by.

And then there were some people who didn’t particularly like it but wanted to use it to show off their own

worth.

In short, although it was niche, everyone present was shocked.

Because there were actually three bottles of this kind of red ink, which was not available in the market, in

this auction.

After the auctioneer introduced the production process of the red ink, he proceeded to demonstrate its marvelousness on the spot.

He used the red ink to draw on paper, and when the paper was immersed in water, the painting remained vivid and beautiful, unaffected by water.

Emily almost exclaimed.

Fortunately, Philip held her back.

“Philip, if we get one, Mr. Harrison will be delighted.

Philip nodded.

Even if Emily hadn’t said it, he knew he must get it.

In fact, although he was highly regarded by Ben, Ben had many other disciples who had achieved success.

And Ben preferred those with higher achievements.

Philip was so highly regarded because he had found some items that Ben desperately wanted but couldn’t get.

This time, if he could obtain the red ink, Ben would undoubtedly be very satisfied with him.

Not to mention The Beauty, even if he wanted a higher position, he could get it

Kyle lowered his voice.

“Just go for it. I have money.”

The others nodded.

In other words, even if they had to pool the financial resources of the five of them, they had to obtain the

red ink.

The three bottles of red ink were auctioned separately

The first one was bought by a wealthy person for 10 million dollars.

At that time, everyone hesitated. After all, it was just a bottle of red ink.

The second one triggered a bidding war, and the price soared to 50 million dollars.

Emily gritted her teeth and offered 60 million dollars.

That was her limit.

From the second floor, Sandra looked at the anxious Hl family, smirked, and added 5 million dollars.

“We must acquire this one, otherwise, the price for the third one will be even higher.”

Emily’s face was covered by her mask, but her eyes emitted a cold light as if she wanted to kill.

Gary pondered for a moment, “Alright.”

Emily immediately called out the price.

Sandra calculated their financial resources and decided not to increase the bid anymore.

Finally, the Hill family secured the second bottle of red ink for 70 million dollars.

Of course, they also had to pay an additional 20% fee to the auction house.

The auction for the third bottle of red ink paste started to lose momentum.

Because people started to question whether it was worth giving up other valuable items.

Thus, the third bottle of red ink was sold for only 15 million dollars.

When Emily heard this result, she angrily stood up.

She almost rushed up to argue to confront the auctioneer.

But she knew she couldn’t do that.

She could only suppress her anger and made an excuse to go to the restroom.

As she left in a huff, Sandra waved to Joey.

Tl be right back. Take care of Mr. Cooper.”

Joey replied seriously, “Mrs. Cooper, are you sure you don’t want me to come with you?”

Sandra chuckled softly, “It’s safer than you think.”

The auction house was mysterious, and the attendees were all big shots, so the security was tight.

No one dared to cause trouble there.

At the door, Sandra heard someone smashing things inside the bathroom.

She peeked inside and saw Emily angrily smashing her cosmetics.

Probably thinking that there was no one else in the restroom, she vented her frustration without holding

back.

“This is damn ridiculous! I’ve been fooled by the auction house!

“There must be something fishy going on here!

“I’m so furious!”

Sandra knew why Emily was so angry.

It was not because the price of the red ink had suddenly dropped,

It was because she spent 70 million dollars from the Hill family.

Some time ago, while Wesley was still in a vegetative state and could die at any time, Kyle agreed to marry Sandra to him for just 50 million dollars.

But today they spent 70 million dollars.

Sandra wondered how her five brothers would feel.

She walked over and deliberately turned on the faucet

The sound of running water reached Emily’s ears, abruptly stopping her from smashing things.

Then she hurriedly walked out.

She glanced at Sandra, feeling that this woman was a bit familiar.

But both of them were wearing masks, so she couldn’t recognize Sandra.

She awkwardly smiled at Sandra and then turned to leave. Before Sandra could leave, she heard Gary’s and Kyle’s voices.
