Chapter 424 The Auction, Jasmine's Scheme Against Annabelle

At the auction, Jasmine was sandwiched between Cordelia and Evelina, her hands gripped tightly by each, making her feel like a hostage, too afraid to move even an inch.

"Jasmine, if you see something you like, just tell me," Cordelia said with a smile.

Jasmine shook her head and whispered, "Mom, there's nothing I like, no need."

Cordelia held Jasmine's hand with a pained expression.

On the other side, Evelina also held Jasmine's hand. "Jasmine, do you like that set of jewelry? I'll get it for you; it suits our darling so well."

Jasmine, feeling torn, secretly glanced at Ethan for help.

Ethan winked at her and just smiled.

Jasmine could only lower her head silently, not saying a word.

Therefore, the million-dollar jewelry set was bought by Evelina and given to Jasmine.

"Next up is a donation from Mr. Sanders, a Victorian Era Rose Pattern Silver Teapot," the auctioneer announced with a smile.

Those who wanted to curry favor with Arnold naturally joined the bidding.

Especially Annabelle, who had been sitting quietly not far away.

Such an event was humiliating for Annabelle, as she had been publicly exposed as an impostor and would be ridiculed by everyone at the event.

But she had to come; she needed to win Arnold over for the Douglas Group.

"The starting bid is two million dollars."

Annabelle was the first to raise her paddle.

Immediately, others followed, but Annabelle always raised her paddle first.

Jasmine glanced back at Annabelle but said nothing.

She knew Annabelle was trying to win over Arnold.

If Arnold collaborated with Howard, it would be a problem for Ethan.

Jasmine bit her lip and carefully reached for her paddle.

Seeing Jasmine wanting to bid, Cordelia grabbed her wrist and raised it for her.

"Three million dollars."

Annabelle saw Jasmine bidding and continued to raise her paddle.

Jasmine raised her paddle again.
