Chapter 66 The $7 Million Hair Pin
Michael just nodded, keeping quiet. Sophia watched him down the drugged wine, feeling a rush of excitement but quickly pushing it down.
Now, all she had to do was wait for the drug to kick in.
As the auction was wrapping up, Michael placed bids on a few antiques until "Lucky" was brought out.
Emily immediately perked up, eyes glued to "Lucky." She shot a look at Abigail, who got the message right away. Abigail went to find their pre-arranged buyer to bid on the hairpin. But Emily was worried Sophia might try to snag "Lucky," so she pretended to be interested, then leaned back, acting all nonchalant.
Michael noticed Emily's little act. When she looked at other items, her eyes were dull and bored. But when she saw the hairpin, her eyes lit up with surprise and hope.
Then she went back to pretending she didn't care. Michael thought, 'Is Emily an actress? How does she switch emotions so fast?'
Michael chuckled and glanced at the hairpin on stage. The auctioneer called it "Lucky." To him, it looked pretty ordinary, just a girl's hairpin, though a bit more delicate and pretty than usual. Nothing special, really.
The crowd seemed to agree. Most girls preferred necklaces and rings. Hairpins like this were usually for weddings, so the women there weren't too interested, which was perfect for Emily.
The starting bid for the hairpin was $70,000, not too high. But as soon as the auctioneer announced it, someone raised the bid. It quickly shot up from $70,000 to $300,000.
Emily got anxious and tugged at Michael, giving him a look. Michael asked, "You want it?"
Emily nodded slightly. Just as Michael was about to bid, Sophia suddenly raised her paddle. "700,000 dollars."
