Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 571 Competing Over the Dressing Box

Daniel looked at Aaden and asked, ’A big cheese will attend the party?"

Aaden nodded. "Yes, Mr. Hume. It's a director of a multinational consortium. I heard he’s here with a program of 320 million dollars."

Daniel frowned slightly. "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I didn't know you cared about it,’ Aaden said hesitantly.

It could be regarded as a national treasure. It had been lost abroad. One might make a contribution to the nation if getting the vase back.

In just five minutes, the price had risen to 20 million dollars. Daniel picked up the red wine glass with satisfaction and took a sip, eager to see Ainsley's reaction.

The vase was bid at the price of 32 million dollars. It was a reasonable price for such a priceless vase.

A piece of porcelain was bid at the price of more than 128 million dollars. Manuel's donation was being sold.
