Chapter 160: The Appearance

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

There was a rule in the auction that once the auction started, no one was allowed to enter or leave the venue until the end of the auction. Thus, Caroline, who had nothing to do, decided to lie on the sofa, eat so snacks, drink tea, and watch others spend money.

It seed that the guests tonight were quite rich. Only one of the eighteen items was not sold.

After wasting more than two hours here and drinking a stomach full of tea, Caroline stood up and dusted off the dots on her body. Just as she was about to leave, the host’s voice suddenly ca from the screen.

“Dear distinguished guests, please stop for a mont. Next up is our special auction.”

Caroline glanced at the screen and saw him opening a glass box, revealing the dazzling ‘Water Star’ that was as vast as the ocean.

The host flipped open the bidding card. The high price of 500 million caused a commotion in the venue. However, the commotion quickly died down.

The sapphire was so big and beautiful that even if you looked at it from the cara, it was much more stunning than the picture, not to ntion the value it carried. Thus, the starting price of 500 million was not very high for it.

Obviously, this price was still beyond the psychological defense of many people, so only two or three people would bid, and they were very cautious.

Caroline yawned out of boredom and stretched her back. She opened the door of the private room and peeked out. She saw a waiter holding a glass of wine. She waved her hand and called him over. “I’m sorry, may I know where the bathroom is?”

The waiter pointed at the direction sign across the corridor. Caroline scratched her head in embarrassnt. “I’m sorry. It’s my first ti here, so I don’t know the place.”

The waiter gave her a ‘don’t worry’ hand gesture, and Caroline followed the direction sign to the bathroom.

Just as Caroline started to move, in a hidden control room above the wine cellar, soone who was constantly monitoring her movents picked up the walkie-talkie and reported to the other side, “No. 08 has started to move.

Attention, all parties.”

Caroline didn’t know that she was being watched the mont she entered the room. She went into the washroom and stayed for about two minutes. After she washed her hands, she ca out and was about to return to Private Room 08.

At this mont, the announcent for the final item, ‘Water Star’, was heard in the wine cellar. Caroline looked up at the big screen and saw Number 12 on it. It proved that the guest in Room 12 had won the bid for the ‘Water Star’ sapphire.

Caroline didn’t take it to heart as if she had just glanced at it. The auction ca to an end. After she returned to the private room, she packed her things. When the announcent sounded, she walked out of the private room and followed the crowd out of the wine cellar. Then, she was blindfolded and returned to the hotel where they were supposed to gather.

At this ti, in the wine cellar office, Edwin asked his n, “Are you sure that Guest 08 only went to the bathroom?”

The subordinate replied, “We’ve checked. Before Guest 08 entered the bathroom, no other guests went to the bathroom, and no guests went after her. When Guest 08 ca out of the bathroom, our people went in to check. It seems that the guest went in to relieve herself. There were no other traces inside.”

Edwin tapped his fingers on the table. “It’s very likely that the thing she wanted didn’t appear tonight.”

On the other hand, Caroline took off her mask and cloak in the bathroom and stuffed them into a backpack. Then, she ca out of the bathroom and stood at the entrance of the hotel. She looked at the road signs and went straight to the east door.

anwhile, Caroline took out her phone and opened the navigation app. She looked like a lost little girl.

Caroline, who was looking at her phone, accidentally bumped into a middle-aged man. She held her phone and subconsciously said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

The middle-aged man wanted to scold her, but when Caroline looked up and he saw her beautiful face, the reprimanding words that were about to co out of his mouth turned into comfort.

He gently patted Caroline’s back. “Miss, are you alright?”

“Sir, I’m sorry. I didn’t watch where I was going.” Caroline moved to the side subconsciously and avoided his hand.

The middle-aged man sensed her resistance and waved his hand disinterestedly. “Next ti, rember to watch where you’re going..”
