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.

In fact, Daniel had been idling around in the past few months, leaving the business to Aaden, such as the charity auction.

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.

As an internationally famous painter, Ram Dylan used to plant and paint flowers every day before his death.

At the last moment of his life, he finally finished his last work, which was sold by his family at a high price. No one knew who the buyer was. It turned out it was Manuel who bought the painting.
