The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 197 Blue Ocean Teardrop

As time passed.

The crowd in the auction grew.

The lights in the private rooms on the second floor lit up one after another.

However, due to the special design of the private room, outsiders would not be able to see the person

sitting in them.

Jack ignored Yael and Vinna who were flirting.

He scrolled through his phone and sent a message to Amber, “I want to give you a gift.”

“What gift? (Happy)”, Amber replied at an instant.

Jack replied, “You’ll know when you get it.”

After sending out the message, he muted his phone and placed it in his pocket.

He watched the auction stage lit up as he leaned back in his seat.

The auction was about to start. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Jack was persistent on getting the “Blue Ocean Teardrop” that would be auctioned last.

That was the gift he was going to give Amber.

He did not consider the price at all. The auction would not sell items with extremely high value,

moreover, he was rich.

“Mr. Hughes. The private room is a little hot.”

Vinna said in a clinger manner suddenly, “Can you ask your bodyguard to leave? I want to adjust my

dress to cool myself down.”

Yael’s eyes lit up at once, but he immediately looked distressed.

Vinna recognized the wrong person. He did not dare to ask Jack to leave.

A smile rose on Jack’s face.

The Vaughn family of the capital was indeed worthy of being in the entertainment industry. Even the

young lady of the family acted in such a way.

“Vinna, it’s okay. He’s my friend.”

Yael spoke out abruptly.

Vinna was stunned.

He…he could even say that in such a situation?

Jack was caught off guard, and his face blushed. He coughed hard.

Then he stared at Yael. That bastard. How could he even say that?

Yael knew he had said something awkward. He blushed as he pointed at the auction stage. “The

auction is about to begin. Let’s focus on the auction.”

Vinna glanced at Jack in annoyance.

With another person with them, she was unable to show her charm.

The Vaughn family was not among the top in the capital, but the entertainment industry that they own

was the one and only tycoon in the industry.

However, they were nothing compared to the top families in the capital.

If they could get the attention of the Hughes family, or just the attention of the heir of the Hughes family,

Jack, they could use the fame of the family for some time before the family announced their next head

of the family.

She was willing to do anything for her family.

Not to mention. The “Jack” she was with at the moment was the type she liked.

All of a sudden.

The light of the auction stage lit up fully.

At the same time, the scattered lights at the rest of the auction site were dimmed.

All the lights were focused on the stage.

A tall and straight middle-aged man in a suit and shoes walked onto the stage with a smile.

The auction began officially!

It was the first time Jack participated in an auction. He observed the auction with interest.

But after looking at the few items sold, he lost interest. It was because the items sold on the auction

was as he predicted. The items were something valuable for ordinary people, but it was nothing for

him.

None from the second-floor private room bid either.

The ones who bid were all from the first floor.

He glanced at Yale and Vinna.

Both of them were almost about to cuddle onto each other, flirting.

From what Jack knew about Yael, if it wasn’t for him around them, Yael would be doing it with the lady

at that moment.

“Mr.Hughes…”

Feeling Jack’s gaze, Vinna called out.

Yael was in an awkward situation, “He’s my friend. It’s okay.”

Vinna was speechless.

She was frustrated.

She had been flirting for so long, and he still cared about friendship?

What was he thinking of her?

But for the purpose she came today, she suppressed her frustration and leaned in Yael's arm

obediently.

Jack retrained himself from laughing.

He did not want to spoil Yael’s luck either. He forcefully focused on the seemingly boring auction on the

auction stage.

In the auction, there were round of bidding sessions. The atmosphere was getting enthusiastic.

When the atmosphere came to its peak, it was finally the last three rounds of auction.

And at that moment, there was finally someone from the private room on the second floor who bid for

an item.

Jack watched silently.

He was waiting for the Blue Ocean Teardrop that came last.

“Mr. Hughes, the Blue Ocean Teardrop is about to be put on auction.”

Yael smirked at the right moment, “You like it? I’ll bid that for you then.”

Spending billions to get a girl was something normal with his playboy character and the wealth, he had.

Moreover, the lady in his arms was a fair, beautiful, and rich woman. He would not lose anything

spending a few billion.

“Vinna likes anything that Mr. Hughes gets me.”

Vinna was delighted. She leaned fully into Yael’s arms.

She was waiting for him to say that.

As long as “Mr.Hughes” was willing to spend the money, it meant that there was a possibility for them in

the future.

But, Vinna did not notice that Jack, who was sitting beside them stared at Yael with a warning look and

shook his head.

Yael was dumbfounded.

Did Jack want it too?

Then he realized that Jack wanted to bid on the Blue Ocean Teardrop for Amber.

Yael was in a melancholy. He couldn’t bear doing that as looked at the pretty Vinna in his arms.

“Ladies and gentlemen the next item is the finale of the auction, the Blue Ocean Teardrop.”

Followed by the voice from the auctioneer, two pretty girls in Chinese Cheongsam held on a tray as

they walked on the stage.

All the eyes focused on the tray covered with a silk cloth.

When the auctioneer uncovered the silk cloth.

At an instant.

A brilliant blue light illuminated under the bright spotlight. It was beautiful and dazzling.

Wow!

The auction was filled with awe from the crowd.

Jack was surprised and attracted by the light illuminated from the Blue Ocean Teardrop too.

Vinna was also surprised.

She did not expect that there would be such high-quality jewelry in that kind of auction.

“This auction has something.” Yael couldn’t help but praise.

As the lights faded away.

All of them saw the real appearance of the Blue Ocean Teardrop.

It was a delicately carved jewelry. Or it could be called a work of art.

The blue sapphire was still shining, and the bright blue was breathtaking.

It was too dazzling, making the diamond on the jewelry a foil.

The whole necklace was gorgeous and flawless.

The voices of awe were heard from the auction again.

Some even looked at the lady companion they brought along and sighed after checking the amount of

money they had left.

“It’s called the Blue Ocean Teardrop. The owner of the auction got a high-quality blue sapphire by

chance and specially invited a top Italian designer to design and make it. You can call it a piece of

jewelry or a work of art, but I think I prefer to describe it with all women’s dream.”

After the introduction.

The auctioneer announced loudly, “the reserve price is 50 million, and each round of bidding is 10

million. The bid starts now!”

Boom!

“50 million is just the reserved price? My god, I can’t afford it.”

“Oh my god, I might not even make as much money as the price of the Blue Ocean Teardrop in my

whole lifetime.”

“Such a beautiful artwork is really valuable. I’ll even die for the person who is willing to give it to me as

a gift.”

...

There was an uproar in the auction on the first floor.

Right at the same time.

A calm voice suddenly came from the private room, which was in the middle on the second floor.

“One hundred million!”
