Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany Chapter 50
Tiffany took the stage and after her opening remarks, a well-dressed assistant placed a transparent glass case on the display stand carefully.
Under the spotlight and on the big screen, everyone could see clearly that it contained a beautiful necklace, exuding a sense of historical grandeur and classical elegance.
The distinguished guests looked unimpressed. To them, this piece held little significance.
Then someone snickered. “Seriously? This?” His disdain was evident.
Tiffany remained composed on stage, ignoring the snide comments. She continued, “This necklace comes from a long- forgotten era that vanished centuries ago. The owner of this necklace was a female general whose bravery on the battlefield was unmatched.
“Unfortunately, the general fell in battle. The prince who deeply loved her, despite facing immense resistance, crowned her queen after his ascension. He vowed to keep this necklace as a symbol of their eternal bond. Thus, this necklace is also a token of their pledge.”
Tiffany’s voice, soft and ethereal, filled the entire venue. It seemed as if the scene she described was unfolding before everyone’s eyes.
In that moment, they could almost see the female general’s valiant figure amid a storm of dust and sand, and the sorrowful vow of her devoted lover.
As they looked at the slowly rotating necklace in the glass case, it appeared to carry a touch of heartfelt significance.
While the men in the room might not have been deeply affected, the women, being more emotional, couldn’t help but feel a pang of sentiment after hearing the story.
A few young, glamorous women even nudged their partners playfully, saying, “Honey, don’t you want to give me a token of our love?”
However, when they heard the price, 120 thousand dollars, the men recoiled quickly, thinking, ‘No way. Who needs a token of love that costs this much?’
Tiffany had braced herself for no sales.
The expressions on the men’s faces were clear. They thought spending that kind of money on this item was ridiculous. But to everyone’s surprise, there was a buyer.
That’s Richard!
He ever calm and collected, simply stated, “Wrap it up.”
The other men were stunned. Richard, who hadn’t even glanced at the antique items, was now buying the women’s piece without hesitation.
Did Richard have a woman in his life? Who would receive the necklace?
Speculation ran wild in the crowd. Could Richard, known for his aloofness, actually be interested in someone?
Their theories were put to rest when Richard continued to bid on the subsequent items with the same nonchalance, buying them all.
By the time the eighth item was revealed, a rare pink diamond bracelet. The pink diamonds, sparkling under the lights, were simply exquisite. Several large rare pink diamonds are adorned with smaller ones, featuring a simple yet high-end design.
Most importantly, it was one of a kind worldwide. No woman could resist such a stunning bracelet.
Especially since the bracelet featured rare pink diamonds that had appeared at auction last year. Even a mere three-carat diamond had fetched ten million dollars at that time.
Now, after a year of crafting it into a unique bracelet and with a design by a world-renowned designer, the pink diamonds were priced at a starting bid of 20 million dollars.
Upon hearing this price, even the wealthiest attendees gasped, murmuring, “Seriously? It’s just a piece of rock. Who would start bidding at 20 million dollars?”
Another murmured, “I don’t think there will be a person to buy it.”
Richard, having recently demonstrated his willingness to spend, drew everyone’s attention. They were curious if he would bid on this bracelet as well.
Richard, however, only had eyes for Tiffany, who was dressed in a sleek black-and-white suit. He smiled slightly and said, “I’ll take it.”
Richard’s words, elongated and filled with meaning, left everyone wondering if he was referring to the bracelet or something else.
As Tiffany prepared to leave, she was confronted by Richard unexpectedly, who blocked her path.
“Mr. Hampton, your items will be wrapped up professional demeanor despite her nervoush nd delivered by Treasure Tower staff shortly,” Tiffany said, keeping her
‘Why Is Richard so close to me? Have I somehow revealed something?’ Tiffany thought.
Before she could figure it out, Richard took the bracelet from her and said calmly, “If you have any more unique items in the future, remember to save them for me.”
Tiffany nodded politely and replied, “Of course, no problem.” Then she made her exit backstage quickly.
The bracelet alone sold for 40 million dollars, and with the additional items, Tiffany’s incredible luck today left several masters who were waiting to see her fail almost fuming with rage.
The masters had all been focused on auctioning antiques and ended up selling a famous piece of painting for sixteen million dollars. Yet Tiffany’s total amount was double theirs.
They were furious and regretful. If they had known, they wouldn’t have made things difficult for her. They could have made money off Richard instead.
Today’s results were extraordinary, far surpassing expectations. Frank was delighted and, following their agreement for a thirty percent bonus, promptly transferred Tiffany her share.
With a total of 44 million dollars, Tiffany earned 13 million As she changed clothes in the restroom, and she transferred the money to Caleb happily.
This time, the company could at least survive a bit longer. If things went well from here, it would finally be her turn to start making real money.
After changing clothes and fixing her makeup, Tiffany walked out with a bright smile on her face.
But as soon as she stepped out of the restroom, Tiffany found Richard leaning against the wall, looking at her with a smirk.
“You seem pretty happy. Did you find some money on the ground?” Richard teased.
