Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

Chapter 131 Are They Purposely Raising the Price?

Finished

The bangle was stored away.

The auction continued.

A few more bracelets were showcased, but none appealed to Zelena.

She couldn’t stop thinking about that violet jade bangle from earlier. Jade bangles are natural and non- renewable. Without placing a higher bid, she wouldn’t come across another identical one anywhere.

After a while, a white glassy jade bracelet with floating flower patterns was presented.

White glassy jade isn’t exactly rare, but its price lies in the unique floating colour on it. It’s so clear and transparent that it looks just like glass!

It was so beautiful, it looked like glass.

This was the ultimate compliment for jade!

Zelena’s eyes sparkled. “Mom, Dad, I want this bracelet. It’s stunning!”

Feeling guilty for not getting the previous bangle for her, Mrs. Blake was determined to win this one. She nodded to Zelena and said, “Lena, I’ll ensure you get this bracelet.”

Bracelets aren’t as perfect as bangles in craftsmanship, quality, or aesthetic value, so they tend to be cheaper.

However, “glassy jade” means it won’t be much cheaper.

Irene also liked the bracelet. “Honey, this one’s pretty too. Let’s get it for our daughter.”

Anton said. “These beads aren’t as nice as that bangle from earlier.”

Irene replied, “What do you know about style? It’s shiny and beautiful. Our daughter will love it.”

Anton nodded in approval and said, “Sure, let’s place our bid.”

Following the auctioneer’s presentation, the initial price stood at a hefty 450 thousand.

Soon enough, people were eagerly bidding one after another.
