217 Chapter 217: Caleb Lockwood Doesn’t Want Ellie

“This piece of jewelry iis /ia donation from the renowned BYC master in the fashion world, Ms. Serena Jennings, for this charity auction–a

golden phoenix tail hairb. 1

As the host introduced, many guests cast admiring nces at Serena Jennings.

Now, almost everyone present knew that Serena Jennings was the renowned BYC master who designed the piano series, so each one

eagerly awaited to see what kind of unique jewelry Serena would have designed this time.

“Really? Ab can be considered jewelry?” Lilian Young crossed her arms and couldn’t help but mutter, “And a golden phoenix tail…

sounds so tacky. Who in real high society wears gold these days!”

Lilian Young didn’t care whether Serena Jennings was the legendary BYC master or not; she only knew that the auction item designed by

Serena just didn’t sound appealing to anyone.

“Surely no one will bid on it, just wait for it to be unsold!”

With Lilian Young ready to see Serena’s work go unsold, on the other side, the staff had already brought out Serena’s donation to the

stage.

At the moment she saw the auction item, Lilian Young’s eyes widened.

This charity auction tonight had quite a few jewelry pieces.

For example, a heart–shaped tanzanite ne inspired by the Heart of the Ocean from the movie “Titanic,” a waterfall–style diamond

bracelet designed and donated by Peter, and antique watches donated by the top three major watchmakers.

However, those jewelry pieces, while beautiful and luxurious, didn’t have the same eye–catching effect to the present dignitaries as

Serena’s design did.

Serena, also known as the BYC master, became a new favorite in the jewelry fashion world precisely because her craftsmanship wasn’t

just outstanding, but her design style also had uniquely ingenious creativity, always providing surprises to the nobles who were

ustomed to the ordinary jewelry.

Like thisb disyed on the stage.

“This hairb is made from thetest 5G gold, with a hardnessparable to K gold, with dense and long teeth. It can be used as a

Listening to the host’s introduction, many guests showed strong interest.

“This hairb uses a Chinese design concept overall. Theb presents a streamlined phoenix tail, lifelike, with every feather using BYC master’s patent–curved seamless full hidden setting technology, iying over a hundred ice–type floating flower jade and mutton

fat jade…“.

Lilian Young’s eyes couldn’t tear away from the golden phoenix tailb.

217 Chapter 217: Caleb Lockwood Doesn’t Want Ellie

She had never seen such a high–end design for a jewelryb.

In her imagination, ab made from gold should be tacky, especially with jade, only suitable for older people.

However, Serena’s design for thisb miraculouslybined ssical beauty with fashionable elements.

The ice–type floating flower jade was as transparent as ice, lustrous and crystal–clear, matching with the cream–like mutton fat jade,

perfectlybining rity and elegance.

The 5G gold was bright enough, while the ice–type floating flower jade and mutton fat jade added a touch of gentle elegance ito /ithis

goldenb.

Whether in function, or appearance, even as a collectible, it was wless.

Lilian Young repeatedly winked at Arthur Lockwood beside her, but unfortunately, Arthur Lockwood didn’t notice.

Yet because thisb was Serena’s auction item, she couldn’t openly express her desire for it.

After the host introduced theb, the auction began.

“The starting bid, one million US dors.”

“Two million.”

Someone immediately started bidding.

“Two hundred ten thousand.”

“Two hundred thirty thousand.”

“Three million.”

Serena listened to the continuous bids, with a knowing smile on her face.

It seemed her designs were popr beyond just the piano series.

“Five million.”

Suddenly, the price jumped significantly.

Serena looked at Peter in surprise.

“The gentleman at number 49 bids five million US dors, five million US dors for the first time…”

Peter shed a big smile at Serena, holding up the number 49 sign high.

Serena truly didn’t expect Peter to join the bidding, and to call out such a high price of five million US dors.

However, just after the first call, Prince William, sitting at the same table as Peter, offered a higher price.

“Six million.”

Peter frowned.

217 Chapter 217: Caleb Lockwood Doesn’t Want Ellie

“Six hundred ten thousand.”

Seeing that Peter was not giving up, Prince William continued to raise the bid.

“Six hundred twenty thousand.”

“Six hundred thirty thousand.”

Neither were willing to give up,peting over several rounds.

At the neighboring table, Jade Shaw watched as Peter and Prince William, neither willing to relent, couldn’t help but lean over to whisper

to Aaron Linton:

“Do you think both of them are trying to pursue Ellie?”

Aaron Linton remained silent.

Prince William was younger than Serena and seemed quite immature.

Meanwhile, he knew Peter was the executive director of FY, talented in all aspects.

However, judging by Serena’s reaction, she didn’t seem to have any interest in Peter.

Aaron Linton’s gaze involuntarily fell on Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb Lockwood was considered outstanding among young men in both political and business circles.

The Linton Family originally valued the Lockwood Family, intending to form alliances through marriage.

However, Aaron could never have imagined that the carefully selected match for the adopted daughter would turn out to be her biological daughter’s ex–husband.

By rights, Caleb Lockwood was already exceptional enough.

Then why did Ellie and Caleb divorce?

Was it Caleb who left Ellie?

Or was it…

Aaron’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

He couldn’t figure out what happened between Serena and Caleb Lockwood just by guessing.

Given his position, he couldn’t ask either Caleb or Serena.

Meanwhile, the bidding war between Peter and Prince William had already reached ten million US dors.

This price currently exceeded all jewelry auctioned before.

“Ten million US dors for the first time…”

Prince William grinned provocatively at Peter, smiling smugly.

217 Chapter 217: Caleb Lockwood Doesn’t Want Ellie

Ten million US dors was a price far beyond what Serena had expected.

At the same time, she thought Peter might as well give up.

In terms of financial strength, Peter could notpare to Prince William.

Yet just as Prince Williamcently waited for the host to drop the hammer, a calm, indifferent voice unexpectedly echoed in the

banquet hall:

“Fifty million.”

The venue fell into an instant silence, followed by Prince William blurting out a curse word in his nativenguage.

The host took a moment to react before saying, “The gentleman at number 25 bids fifty million, fifty million US dors for the first

time…”

Because he never anticipated it could reach this price for Serena’s auction item.

Serena herself hadn’t expected it either.

She couldn’t help but turn her head to look aside.

Others had the same reaction as her.

Arthur Lockwood, Lilian Young, Aaron Linton, Jade Shaw, Wendy Linton, and Chance Bell all gazed towards Caleb Lockwood, who was sitting at the same table with them.

Just now, Caleb Lockwood had raised his hand with the number 25 sign, calling out the extraordinarily high price of fifty million.

“Caleb, have you lost

your

mind?”

Lilian Young couldn’t help but whisper. fn4752 This text is hosted at Find?Novel/fn4752

If Caleb Lockwood had bid that high for her, she would have been delighted.

But she knew very well that Caleb Lockwood would definitely not buy theb for her.

“Oh, I see… Caleb is quite something…”

Lilian Young deliberately put on an expression of sudden realization.

“He must be thinking of buying theb to give it to Ms. Wendy!”
