CHAPTER 757: CHAPTER 757: HE WANTS TO SETTLE THE SCORE WITH HER

Now, Caroline Sloan’s parents were quite arrogant, with an attitude of "with one card, the world is mine." In truth, they didn’t know what to buy, but whatever Serena bid on, they would compete for, determined to outshine her.

Caroline’s father said, "That Serena is just Mr. Crawford’s old flame. She definitely doesn’t have more money than us."

Caroline’s mother chimed in, "Exactly, let’s crush her with money, embarrass her, make her furious!"

In the adjacent luxury box, Serena watched them bid and said to Yara, "Aunt Isabelle, forget it, let’s give this piece of agate to the people next door. I just thought it matched the old lady’s temperament and could be brought back for carving, so I bid two million, but I think two million is already too much, I can’t bid any higher."

Yara, with her cool demeanor, nodded, "Okay."

It was then that Seraphina Linden spoke, "Wait, give me the card, let me have some fun."

"Mommy, what are you trying to do?" Serena obediently handed the card to Seraphina Linden.

Seraphina blinked mischievously and then raised the card, "Four million."

Four million?

Four million for an agate stone? That’s such a loss!

Serena quickly tugged on Seraphina’s sleeve, shaking her head painfully.

Next door, Caroline’s parents heard the increase and quickly raised their card, "Five million."

Seraphina pushed Serena aside, "Eight million."

Eight million?

The entire auction was stunned, everyone’s eyes snapped toward them, trying to see which over-the-top spender would buy an agate stone for eight million.

Next door, Caroline’s parents hesitated at eight million. After all, their lifestyle had leaped from eight hundred to eight million, making them feel dizzy. They looked around and saw the agate stone was just a red rock, and mountains were full of stones.

"Should we increase the bid?" Caroline’s mother asked secretly.

Caroline’s father, his face flushed with excitement, was pushed to the limit at eight million. If he didn’t bid, wouldn’t he lose face?

Caroline’s father immediately raised the card, shouting, "Ten million."

Wow.

The whole room was in an uproar.

On the second floor of the auction hall, Julian Rathborne stood tall and noble near the carved railing, glancing at Caroline’s parents.

"Boss, that couple are Caroline Sloan’s parents, who just appeared beside Mr. Crawford as the new delicate flower," the private secretary whispered.

Julian wordlessly kept one hand in his pocket.

"Boss, should we teach that couple a little lesson?" the private secretary asked.

The private secretary thought that Caroline’s parents were asking for it, bullying the daughter of the world’s wealthiest man’s heir and even barging onto their turf. Now that Serena’s dad was here, wouldn’t he give them a lesson?

"No need, didn’t you see someone already teaching them a lesson?" Julian’s deep voice rang out.

Who?

Who was teaching that couple a lesson?

Julian’s gaze slowly fell on Seraphina Linden in the nearby box. He had been busy with work and hadn’t settled the score with her yet.

The last time at the club, she played with him like that, and he needed to settle that score properly.

Caroline’s parents had bid ten million, which left Serena shocked. Who gave them such confidence to bid sky-high prices?

"That’s enough, Mommy, don’t bid anymore, I don’t have the money," Serena reminded Seraphina.

Seraphina flicked her hair along her cheek and tossed the card back to Serena, "Alright, I’m done playing, let them have the ten-million agate stone."

"..."

Serena realized it was intentional, her mommy deliberately raised the price to ten million to trap the mother from next door, indeed too wicked.

Next door, Caroline’s parents awaited another bid, but after long anticipation, they only heard the auctioneer’s decisive gavel, "Ten million, any higher bids? Ten million once, ten million twice, ten million three times, sold to the gentleman and lady!"

The auctioneer had worked at the auction house for many years and had never seen anyone buy an agate stone for ten million before. They looked at Caroline’s parents, smiling, as if looking at two... big fools.

Caroline’s parents, "..."

They were utterly dumbfounded. The thrill of bidding had now turned into bewilderment, did they really spend ten million on a red stone?

Just then, a staff member approached, "Sir, please make your payment here."

Caroline’s father, incredibly anxious, took out the card. It was given by Hayden Crawford, and they had already spent a lot, but they didn’t know the exact amount in the card.

Ten million was an enormous sum, what if the card didn’t have ten million?

Caroline’s father, like a duck forced ashore, closed his eyes and ran the card.

With a "ding," the card was charged successfully.

"Sir, the ten million has been credited, here’s your agate stone, please keep it safe," the staff member said as they left.

Oh my.

The card really had ten million!

Caroline’s parents felt like they had flown from heaven into the outer edges of the universe. It seemed that the card had more than ten million, perhaps twenty million, thirty million...

They were loaded.

This card was enough for a lifetime of lavish spending.

Caroline’s parents returned to their seats, loudly bragging, "What’s a mere ten million, my future son-in-law’s filial card has plenty of money. Some people shouldn’t try to put on airs if they don’t have money, better go home, wash up, and get some sleep."

In the next box, Serena naturally heard these comments, she raised an elegant eyebrow but said nothing.

Seraphina looked at her daughter, "Serena, you’re really good at staying calm, they’re spending Hayden’s money, which is technically yours."

Serena smiled, "Mommy, don’t worry~"

The auctioneer continued, "Dear guests, next we are auctioning a sily, sily was born in the sixties of Gallia..."

The auctioneer flattered the sily quite a bit.

Seraphina quickly said, "Serena, the card, quickly raise the card, this sily is extraordinary, starting bid is five hundred thousand!"

Next door, Caroline’s parents were also eager, having tasted victory earlier, they hurriedly raised their card, "Six hundred thousand!"

As soon as "six hundred thousand" were out, the room erupted in laughter.

The auctioneer quickly struck down the gavel, "Six hundred thousand once, six hundred thousand twice, six hundred thousand thrice, sold to the gentleman and lady!"

Caroline’s parents didn’t understand English, so they didn’t know what a sily was; they only bid six hundred thousand hearing Seraphina’s excited bidding.
