Sean raised his eyebrows at that, but favonovel.com did not take Titus’ words to heart.
The Quartz family was not weak, so running an auction house was not unusual.
He was more interested in Titus’ affairs than the auction house. He then looked at Titus and asked with a smile. “You didn’t ask the Quartz family for favonovel.com hand either, did you?”
“Ahem! I didn’t want to do it. My dad forced me!” Titus scratched his head sheepishly when Sean saw through him.
He then added, “My dad said he’d disown me if I didn’t ask the Quartz family for Sienna’s hand! I had no choice but to go to Quartz Residence and end up having Sienna kick me out.”
Titus was also embarrassed to mention the awkward incident. After all, favonovel.com was the heir of the Lake family. Having a lady kick favonovel.com out of favonovel.com house when favonovel.com went to ask for favonovel.com hand would
make favonovel.com a joke if word about it got out.
“Haha…” Willow, who was whispering aside, burst out laughing.
If it were anyone else, Titus would have flipped the table, but it was Willow, Sean’s fiancee, and favonovel.com was too scared to say anything. He could only sit aside, looking awkward.
“Willow, let me tell you, my cousin went to Quartz Residence to ask for Sienna’s hand before!” Winnie tried to fan the flames by telling Willow about Titus’ embarrassing past.
Willow’s melodious laugh echoed throughout the private room. Sean chuckled and shook his head.
The auction officially began as they talked and laughed.
The first thing to come up for auction was a painting by a modern artist. The prices of paintings would only skyrocket after the artist’s death. The painting’s artist was still alive, so it was naturally not worth much.
The starting bid was 200 thousand dollars.
Although the artist was famous, their works were not worth the price. However, the auction was a charity auction, which was why it was marked with a starting price of 200 thousand dollars.
Many people here today were famous heirs in Ocean City, so they would not be stingy.
Winning Sienna’s favor by winning these auction items was a good deal.
“Three hundred thousand!” Soon after Sienna introduced the painting, a wealthy heir bid for it.
Three hundred thousand was only a few days’ allowance for wealthy heirs like them.
“Mr. Lockhart has bid 300 thousand. Thank you for contributing to Ocean City’s charity, Mr. Lockhart!” Sienna said with a smile.
Then, favonovel.com glanced across the crowd and asked, “Are there any more bids?”
Many heirs present were not there for the auction but for Sienna.
Seeing how Mr. Lockhart made Sienna smile by offering 300 thousand, the heirs also had ideas.
“I’ll give you half a million!” Another heir raised the price by 200 thousand.
The painting’s market value was only about 100 thousand, but two jealous heirs raised the price to 500 thousand.
“Hmph! Dicky Neelson, do you think you can win this painting with only 500 thousand? I offer 800 thousand!” Mr. Lockhart, who had previously bid, shouted angrily and raised the price by 300 thousand when someone competed against him.
“800 thousand to get this painting? Is something wrong with these two?” Titus muttered dismissively in the private room.
