Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

Chapter 129 Bidding Battles

Irene and Anton took their places at the forefront of the auction round table, flanked by a translator and the auctioneer.

Irene, adorned in an elegantly altered black gown featuring discreet designs complemented by striking emerald green jewellery, sparkled magnificently.

Anton, lounging in his chair and dressed in attire that harmonised with Irene’s, stood out alongside her as the only individual of Asian descent in the front row, their remarkable presence undisputed.

Occupying the central seats of the round table area were the Blakes: Mr. Blake, Mrs. Blake, and Zelena. Since their arrival, Zelena had busied herself with taking selfies.

She planned to showcase these photos at school after the auction’s end, seizing this unique chance. Soon after, a courteous staff member wearing a badge approached and communicated in Verdanise, “I apologise, madam, but we do not permit photography here. Notices around the area enforce this policy.” But unfortunately, the Blake family, unfamiliar with Verdanise, could not comprehend the warning.

While interpreters were on hand at the auction, only individuals possessing assets surpassing 45 million dollars were eligible for this service. Consequently, others could only offer awkward smiles.

The staff member gestured towards the bilingual signage that clearly prohibited photography.

A sheepish Zelena then packed away her phone, albeit satisfied with the shots she had managed to capture beforehand.

The auction began without further delay.

A distinguished middle–aged woman with her hair in elegant coils took centre stage amongst the round table as auction staff showcased each item in succession.

This collection boasted an array of global rarities, with porcelain and jade jewellery taking the spotlight among the diverse selections, particularly emphasising the jade offerings.

Irene possessed a profound admiration for jade. Nearly all the pieces in her jewellery collection were crafted from this precious stone, varying in value from millions to tens of millions and even hundreds of millions of dollars.

These jewellery pieces held not only considerable value for collection but also the potential for future appreciation.
