Connor had been studying Jorge's athyst pendant all this ti.
However, he'd never been able to find anything out of the ordinary with it.
At this mont, the athyst pendant in the box was reacting with Jorge's pendant. This could prove that his pendant was not an ordinary pendant.
The attendant saw that Connor was in a daze and asked, "Sir, are you done?"
"Yes…"
Connor nodded at the attendant.
The attendant smiled and left with the box.
Freya could sense that sothing was up, so she asked him, "Connor, what's wrong? Do you recognize this pendant?"
"I don't really know, but I feel that this athyst pendant isn't any ordinary pendant. I'm going to buy it!" Connor said in a low voice.
"Buy it?" Freya could not help but be stunned when she heard Connor's words. Then, she hurriedly asked, "Connor, don't tell you want to buy this pendant because of ?"
"This matter has nothing to do with you…"
Connor lightly shook his head.
Although Connor did have Freya's intentions in mind, the reason he wanted to buy it had nothing to do with her..
After all, even if Connor really bought off this pendant, it would increase Monica's favorability towards him, but would not really allow Freya to get this project. This was a solution that only treated the symptoms but not the root cause.
Connor wanted this jade because it had a reaction with Jorge's pendant.
At this mont, Monica suddenly asked, "Alright, has everyone seen it?"
"Yes!" everyone replied.
"The auction thod for this athyst pendant is different from other auctions. This pendant doesn't have a starting price. As long as you are interested in this athyst pendant, you can provide us with a sum of money," Monica said to everyone.
When everyone heard her words, they were all stunned and began to discuss amongst themselves.
Although this auction thod seed unreasonable on the surface, Monica's choice to use this thod could maximize her own interests.
If soone was really interested in this athyst pendant, they would definitely write down the highest price they could afford. However, in order to ensure that there was no mistake, it was very likely that soone would offer a higher price. This would form a psychological war, and the price offered by those present would far exceed the bidding price.
If it was a normal auction, it would give everyone ti to think.
However, if this was the bidding thod, everyone would not have the ti to think at all. They would imdiately bid based on the highest price they could afford.
The attendant walked down the hall with the price list. Anyone who was interested in this athyst pendant would take a paper slip and write down their price on it.
Connor hesitated for a mont before getting a slip from the attendant. However, when Connor got the slip, he hesitated because he didn't know how much he should write.
He hesitated for a mont before asking Freya, "How much money do you think these people will spend on this project?"
"Probably at most 100 million. If it exceeds 100 million, it will be a little inappropriate…" Freya replied.
"100 million!"
Connor's expression was a little shocked when he heard Freya's words. The 100 million that Freya was talking about was in US dollars!
Soone was willing to pay 100 million just to win Monica's favor. Connor felt that these people were really too crazy. If it was Connor himself, he would definitely not be willing to pay so much money.
However, Connor didn't want this athyst pendant for Monica's project. Instead, he felt that the pendant that Monica took out likely had sothing to do with the pendant that Jorge gave him. That was why he wanted to get it.
Connor took a deep breath and wrote down his own price on the slip.
Freya looked at Connor's price list curiously and then froze on the spot. She said in disbelief, "Connor, are you crazy?"
"I have my reasons for offering this price, but you don't have to worry. I didn't spend this money because I want to help you win this project…" Connor explained with a smile.
Freya looked at Connor with a complicated expression. She could not understand why Connor would offer such a high price.
The price Connor wrote on the price list was 500 million.
After writing the price, Connor handed it to the staff.
The staff mber was very professional. He didn't look at Connor's slip, but instead put it away.
After all, this was needed to protect the privacy of every custor. If Connor's price was exposed and the other custors knew, then things would be troubleso.
At this mont, there were about a hundred people in the hall. Almost everyone had bid on the athyst pendant because they were all desperate for the project in Monica's hands.
The auction staff worked for about half an hour before they finally collected all the bids.
After collecting all the paper slips, the staff began to calculate who was the highest, all while the crowd waited nervously.
"Connor, why did you offer such a high price? I think that even if you want to buy that pendant, 200 million should be enough. You don't need to spend so much money at all…"
Freya asked Connor in confusion.
Connor smiled faintly when he heard Freya's words. He then said, "This athyst pendant is extrely important to . Therefore, I cannot allow any accidents to happen. I must ensure that I can obtain this pendant without any mistakes…"
"Is this pendant very important to you?"
A hint of confusion flashed across Freya's eyes, and the expression on her face beca even more puzzled.
"Yes!"
Connor nodded lightly before continuing, "There are so things that I can't explain to you clearly now, but this athyst pendant is really important to !"
Freya looked at Connor helplessly. She knew that he definitely had his reasons for doing so.
However, he was not willing to tell them to her now, so she did not continue asking.
