Chapter 41
Joseph’s face darkened again, and his thin lips pursed even more tightly.
Nine million was already out, and ten million was definitely not a
problem.
Raya suddenly stopped, not because she could not afford it, but because she gave up.
She did it on purpose!
But he couldn’t say anything. After all, no one forced Grace to spend money on this painting. She was willing to do everything..
After a few more items, Chloe was very calm and didn’t make a move.
And Joseph only wanted to bid back the yellow pear, so she didn’t make a
move.
The next item was a pair of jade ruyi ornaments that Aubree donated on behalf of Sawle Group. The base price was two million.
Chloe snorted and shook her head in disdain.
She would rather bid for the first replica than buy two big silly stones at such a high price. Whoever bought it would be wronged.
Sure enough, there were very few bidders. The auctioneer tried to shout. and finally sold it at a price of 260 million.
The smile on Aubree’s face gradually collapsed.
This figure was really…
Joseph was calm and composed.
No matter what Aubree did, she would only lose face to Jake. The father and son were not united, but the husband and wife were one.
“The next item is from KS Group. It was donated by Ms. Helena King. It’s a pair of Song vases!”
The interest of all the collectors in the area was instantly aroused! Chloe was shocked and quickly turned back to look at the back.
Finally, she found Helena in the back row.
“Young Mistress, why is Helena here? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Chloe nervously sent a message to Jordan.
Jordan, “Young Mistress, I just found out! Maybe Director Thorp sent the
Second Madame here at the last minute!”
“F*ck! This Stefan doesn’t play according to the rules!”
Chloe was somewhat panicked.
On this occasion today, almost everyone was present. She was really afraid that her Thorp family would not be able to keep her identity
under wraps.
At this moment, she noticed that Helena secretly made a “oh” gesture at her, her gentle eyes carrying a hint of a mischievous tacit understanding between girlfriends.
Chloe’s heart warmed, and she immediately understood.
‘Helena, Helena, as expected of you, smart and clear!”
Everyone was restless and couldn’t help but want to obtain the auction item of KS.
This azure kiln is hard to come by. Second Madame donated two! Thorp Group is really generous. He has the demeanor of a big financial group!
“They are both financial groups, but Sawle Group is too far away. What are those two just now? I estimate that they are not as valuable as the two stone lions at my door.”
“This Director Sawle’s wife, her taste is somewhat worrying.”
Aubree’s face was flushed red, as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
The collection she and Helena brought was simply like the difference. between clouds and mud. The strong contrast made her seem even more petty and ashamed!
Up until now, there was finally a hint of interest in Joseph’s sandalwood eyes. His slender fingers turned the number plate.
“The head of celadon, thou kiln is the chief. Good stuff.”
“The sky is broken after the rain. This color will be the future.”
When Joseph heard Chloe recite such complex poems, he could not help but turn to look at her in surprise.
Chloe was immersed in the charm of antiques. Her white and delicate skin was like a fine porcelain. Her elegant eyebrows were smooth and elegant. Under the light, she was extremely beautiful. She was so beautiful that people forgot to breathe.
Raya was actually very beautiful, but he never put her beauty in his eyes.
A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband
Because he already had someone in his heart.
So sometimes, Joseph even felt that Raya following him was a waste of her life.
A waste of her beauty.
Joseph’s line of sight wandered all the way down and finally fell on Chloe’s slender wrist.
Sure enough, she was still wearing the jade bracelet that her grandfather gave her. Even though it was not very fitting with her outfit today, she was reluctant to take it off. It seemed that she really liked it.
Joseph narrowed his starry eyes, and his chest subconsciously rose and
fell.
Such a kiln – porcelain attracted a hot auction, and even the auctioneer could not handle it!
“Ten million!”
“Twenty five million!”
“Twenty seven million!”
“Forty million.”
Joseph elegantly raised his number tag, and his thin lips called out the highest number present.
Everyone: !
Chloe was secretly shocked and subconsciously looked at Joseph.
‘Dog man, you don’t have a good eye for choosing women, but you do have a good eye for choosing antiques.‘
Joseph noticed her gaze, and his dark gold eyes moved slightly, meeting her eyes.
In an instant, the man was stung by her overly rational and cold eyes, and his heart shrank.
Chloe quickly retracted her gaze, no longer looking at him.
In the end, this pair of thou kiln porcelain was successfully won by Mr. Sawle, cut into the bag, and gained the envious eyes of everyone.
“In the future, when I find you to drink with me, you can use this cup to entertain me! Forty million will suit my identity —” Vincent said with a
smile.
“This cup is small, not enough for you to drink. I have a big one that suits
A Billi
your identity more,” Joseph said coldly.
“What kind of good things should be given to me?”
“Toilet.”
Vincent’s face was full of black lines.
Chloe inadvertently heard it and turned around to laugh.
At this time, Grace also began to feel distressed. She bought a pair of broken glasses for 40 million. What was Brother Joseph thinking? Was it not fragrant to buy a big villa for 40 million?
She had not married into Sawle family yet, but she began to worry about how to spend Sawle family’s money.
“The next item is of extraordinary significance. It is a personal collection of a gentleman who does not want to reveal his name for 50 years. It is the Ming Dynasty yellow rosewood chair!”
The auctioneer introduced enthusiastically. The yellow rosewood chair was protected by a glass cover, and four staff wearing white gloves carefully lifted it up.
“Brother! Coming! Coming!” Vincent hurriedly patted Joseph.
In the next second, he saw that Joseph and Chloe seemed to have been pressed by the start button. They walked at the same time and left the back of the chair. Their movements were very tacit.
They were all ready to fight!
“The starting bid is 30 million! Let’s start the bidding now!”
All the wealthy merchants raised their bids one after another, and the auctioneer continued to bid. The competition was very intense.
30 million could be said to be the highest bid for tonight’s auction! Aubree and Skyler, such a pair of mother and daughter who loved to show off, were scared to step back when they heard this price.
Mrs. Brown and her daughter had long been reduced to a crowd of onlookers, so quiet that she was one with the last row of flower baskets. At this moment, a jade–white hand gracefully raised, her red lips opened and closed, and she calmly spat out a number.
“60 million.”
Everyone was shocked and looked at Chloe who raised the card!
The mysterious beauty was insufferably arrogant, but as long as she

A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband
made a move, she would definitely shock the entire audience.
“Mom, I… I didn’t hear wrong, right?”
Skyler’s eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. “That village girl actually called out a bid of 60 million? How could she dare to bid such a high price? Is she pretending?”
Aubree remained silent, her cold eyes staring at Chloe’s back.
Suddenly, Aubree thought of something. She rolled her eyes and looked in the direction of Thorp family’s Helena. She sneered in her heart.
Little wench, you really want a quail to become a phoenix. I don’t know if you can stand on Thorp family’s high branch!
“Seventy million.”
Joseph’s thin lips slightly opened, and his bone–like hand slowly raised. The light that came down dyed his tall and straight figure a layer of golden outline, so dazzling that people could not take their eyes off him.
He directly raised the price to a new height, and a few people who were tightly biting could only be defeated.
“Seventy five million.”
Chloe’s expression did not change, and she raised her card again without hesitation.
Everyone cried out in a low voice again!
Vincent, who was used to seeing the big scene, did not dare to speak at
this time.
He only felt that they were like the peerless masters in wuxia novels. Two waves of biting cold True Qi collided, as if the next second would be like a lightning stone, and the sky would collapse and the earth would fall.
“Eighty million.” Joseph was calm and composed, but there was a trace of fluctuation between his eyebrows, a trace of anger.
In order to help Oscar find the treasure, she worked hard enough!
The tip of Chloe’s tongue touched her pink cheeks, and a dark flame rose in her heart.
Even if she didn’t need big brother to reimburseher, her private money could still fight with Joseph.
However, she knew how to stop damage in time and weigh the pros and
cons.
A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband
Antiques did have a high value due to historical sediments, but she had a bottom line in her heart. 80 million was already at the top. If they fought again, it would become bickering. It was so boring.
“Joseph, your IQ is so high. Do you always have a high EQ?”
Vincent saw that Chloe’s expression was not good, so he quickly leaned over to his ear and reminded him anxiously, “Miss Lewis wants this chair at a glance. Can’t you let her win?”
“Let’s not talk about how a husband and wife can treat each other. Miss Lewis is just a girl. Aren’t you a little rude to compete with her in front of so many people?”
“She is sitting there on behalf of Oscar. She is also competing with me. What does it have to do with her?” Joseph looked ahead, his eyes indifferent and calm.
Vincent gasped and gave a thumbs up. “No problem! Bro!”
“Eighty million going once! Eighty million going twice! Eighty million…
“One hundred million!”
Wow! Good fellow!
A voice like water striking ice came from behind. Joseph raised his eyebrows, but he did not turn around.
Everyone looked at the beautiful lady who raised the card. It was Thorp family’s second wife, Helena!
Chloe’s bright eyes curved up, and she suddenly understood why Helena was here.
It must be that Stefan was afraid that her big brother would not be willing to spend money, so he sent a female general over!
Joseph’s starry eyes were like mist, and after hesitating for a while, he did not make a move again.
One hundred million was not that he could not afford it, but if he shouted again, he would really lose his grace.
In the end, the yellow rosewood chair was bought by KS Group, and the applause was thunderous!
Just when everyone thought that the auction was coming to an end, the auctioneer suddenly smiled and said,
“Next is the last item for today’s charity auction. It is still donated by KS Group!”
It came from the top jewelry that was made by a famous French jewelry designer in a month – ‘Heart of Crimson Flame!!!
In an instant, Joseph’s pupils contracted, and his heart seemed to have been shot, stopping the beating.
