Chapter 201 Scented Pouches
Chapter 201 Scented Pouches
Jocelyn was the most talked about person in the room because she was sitting with the Vice
President's wife.
The eyes of the crowd always fall on them from time to time.
Because the auction had not yet started, those at the top of the food chain kept coming over to say
hello to Ruby.
Apart from responding to them politely, Ruby would also introduce Jocelyn to them.
Some of these people are even prominent young men in powerful circles.
Because of Ruby's relationship and her own beauty, every one of them treated Jocelyn with courtesy.
There are even some powerful people who have taken the initiative to add Jocelyn's WeChat.
For a while, Jocelyn was a sight to behold.
There was no woman in the room who didn't envy her, including Bella.
Looking at Jocelyn's look, Bella was almost furious.
Why is Jocelyn so lucky? She was able to get to know the Vice President's wife and even get in touch
with those powerful people without much effort, while she, Bella, had been unlucky all night long.
The Vice-President's wife introduced Jocelyn to those famous young men, many of whom she wanted
to meet.
The more she looked at this, the more she trembled with jealousy... it wasn't fair! The world was simply
not fair!
Jocelyn's gaze inadvertently glanced over Bella just in time to see the way Bella was shaking with
anger as she looked at her, and her heart felt another surge of pleasure.
She ignored Bella, her eyes skimming over her, before falling back to the powerful men and women
around her.
Many of these people are beneficial to X Entertainment, and to Murphy Group, so she must be careful
with all of them.
Ten minutes later, the auction began.
Everyone dispersed one by one at this point.
Jocelyn also sat down peacefully and together with Ruby focused their attention on the auction table at
the bottom.
After a long opening speech by the beautiful auctioneer dressed in a lady-in-waiting costume, she went
straight to the point.
Next, one valuable antique after another made its appearance as the auctioneer introduced them. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Each antique, which generates hot bids from the crowds in the auction room ......
Ruby, beside Jocelyn, was very interested in each piece and kept bidding on them, and won many of
them.
But Jocelyn was not very interested, just watching and listening attentively from the sidelines as if she
were a holy white rose.
Even though she was extremely quiet, the eyes of the men upstairs and downstairs still drifted to her
place every now and then.
Aside from the antiques, it was undoubtedly Jocelyn who caught the men's eyes the most ......
Soon after a Raphael painting of the Madonna was taken, two suited bodyguards, brought up a small
jewel-encrusted trinket.
This trinket is housed in the same immaculate glass cabinet as the other antiques.
It glistens in the light, making it hard to look away.
Jocelyn's gaze was instantly drawn to it, and a strong desire for possession rose up within her.
She wanted to photograph this and give it to someone.
"This exhibit is an 8th century piece for an amulet made of gold and gemstones ......"
"I wonder, does anyone know the origin of this amulet? The owner of this collection does not want it to
be auctioned off by buyers who do not know anything about it. I hope that all buyers who know the
origin of the collection will raise their hands."
As she spoke, some of the hands went up.
Ruby followed suit and raised her own hand, as did Jocelyn.
Noticing that Jocelyn had also raised her hand, Bella immediately couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She concluded that Jocelyn did not know anything at all, and that the questions she had just asked her
about Tang Bohu were just random things she had read from somewhere.
How could someone who was not interested in antiques at all have too much knowledge in this area?
Jocelyn merely saw Ruby raise her hand and followed suit and pretended.
Because she knew that as long as Ruby was there, the auctioneer would naturally throw the question
to Ruby as long as she raised her hand.
She felt sick to her stomach when she thought about this act of Jocelyn.
Soon the auctioneer set his eyes on Ruby's face and respectfully extended his hand and pointed
towards Ruby's position, "Miss, please answer ......"
Ruby pulled the seated McLeod directly in front of her and said, "I'm raising my hand for someone else,
and I have a beautiful woman with me who would love to answer, but is thin-skinned."
With those words, Ruby placed her gaze on Bella's body.
Others, too, have dropped their eyes on her.
Bella was completely confused and her brain instantly started buzzing.
She was totally surprised that Jocelyn would come up with this ......
This was a clear attempt to embarrass her, and if she couldn't answer, it would be embarrassing.
At the critical moment she had a bright idea, "Jocelyn ...... why don't you tell everyone? I'm a person
with thin skin, I'm very nervous when talking to so many people. I see you just raised your hand."
At this point, she couldn't care less.
Jocelyn herself raised her hand, so she now threw the question to Jocelyn, even if Jocelyn made a fool
of herself, the vice president's wife naturally could not say anything about it.
After all, she was cueing Jocelyn because Jocelyn had raised her hand.
At that time, if Jocelyn could not answer, the vice president's wife would only think that Jocelyn had
disgraced herself by pretending, and would not blame her, Bella.
After comforting herself in this way, Bella's heart was much calmer.
She then slowly set her gaze on Jocelyn, quietly waiting for her to make a fool of herself.
In a few moments, Jocelyn would be humiliated in front of everyone and be ridiculed.
The others' eyes, too, fell after her.
The focus of attention in the room changed from Bella to Jocelyn.
How could Jocelyn not know that Bella was throwing questions at her like this, just to make a fool of
her? She could guess Bella's mind, right away.
She glanced lightly at Bella and then took the microphone in front of Ruby and brought it to her face,
looking at Bella, "This collection is an amulet worn by Charlemagne, who was the "Father of Europe". It
is said that the amulet was designed and made by his beloved wife, who is said to have preserved
pieces of the true cross, and Charlemagne's wife wanted him to wear this amulet at all times to protect
him from injury."
"Later, when his beloved wife died, Charlemagne mourned for several years. Charlemagne used to sit
for long periods of silence in memory of his beloved wife by the pool that she loved during her lifetime."
"This amulet would have been given to Charlemagne to accompany him, for Charlemagne wanted his
wife to continue to be by his side always in the afterlife, to guide him in finding his beloved wife."
