Chapter 211
Skyler smiled slightly, “I used to think jade bracelets were inconvenient, prone to bumps and scratches. But now that I’m older, I like jade for its health benefits. But it’s all about fate; even if I really like it, I might not be able to get it.”
Mrs. Kelley said, “The bracelet’s starting price is 20 million. There aren’t many ladies here who really like jade and are willing to spend that much, so the odds are pretty good.”
The ladies were all smart, and even without the fortune teller’s blessings, the bracelet would be worth at least 20 million. But now, with the added value, the price would surely soar to 30 or 40 million, making it a great buy and a chance to show off.
But now that Skyler had expressed her interest in buying it, if they jumped in first, they would undoubtedly offend her.
The Reed family’s business was extensive, and almost all of the ladies’ family businesses had ties to the Reed family, with projects worth far more than 20 million. There was no need to risk offending Skyler for the sake of showing off.
Skyler remained silent, her eyes clearly determined
Krista, holding Sienna, asked softly. “What do you think? Do you like the bracelet?”
Sienna smiled kindly. “Would you have gone to all this trouble if it wasn’t good?”
Krista smiled, “Actually, I’m just doing a friend a favor. He urgently needed to sell this bracelet, and since I was having a jewelry exhibition, I brought it over for him. All I charge from him is a booth fee.”
Celeste listened quietly.
The bracelet had cost Adriana 30 million at the time, and now at such a big event, it was only selling for 20 million. The price might have been pushed down by Krista.
Celeste didn’t understand why Krista would help the Reilly family sell the bracelet but also deliberately lower the price.
After the host introduced the bracelet, he called those interested in buying it to the stage to draw lots.
The ladies all hesitated, and only three people stepped forward to draw lots.
Two of them were ladies who had no connection to the Reed family, and the third was surprisingly Nicolas.
Celeste’s eye twitched. Could he be thinking of buying it back for 20 million to sell again?
Krista was a bit surprised, “Nicolas, what are you doing up there? Come down! Don’t get in the way of the ladies drawing lots.”
Nicolas grinned, “Auntie, the fortune teller didn’t say whether the destined person is male or female, so maybe I’m the one??
Krista helplessly said, “This bracelet is for women. If you really are the destined person, it would be a blow to the fortune teller’s reputation.”
Nicolas smiled, “Isn’t this a good chance to test his accuracy?”
Seeing that she couldn’t dissuade him, Krista let him be
Skyler observed the crowd for a while and was sure no one else was coming up. Just as she was about to go, Celeste’s heart tightened, and she hurriedly called out, “Mom.”
Everyone froze and looked at her.
Liam was also quite surprised.
Celeste was extremely nervous, but she knew that today’s event obviously targeted Skyler. The Reilly family wanted to recover the losses caused by her through the Reed family. If Skyler bought this bracelet, it would definitely cause trouble for her once they found out its origin, so she couldn’t let Skyler buy it
Frowning, Skyler looked at her with some displeasure, but her tone was still patient, “What’s the matter?”
Celeste pursed her lips and whispered, “Liam said you’ve been interested in jade recently, so I picked out a bracelet for you. Take a look and see if you
like it’
