Chapter 476 Long Lost Biological Brother?

At this moment, the man from the land auction yesterday made his appearance again.

“Miss Sinclair.” The man sounded as gentle as he was.

“Oh, you again?” Elise said in an amused tone, “Are you going to give me another piece of land today?”

After saying that, she glanced at Faye, making the latter irritated.

“That’s not it.” The man let out a low chuckle. “I’m representing Mr. Bailey to invite you to the VIP room.”

“The VIP room huh. It’s unexpected that this young girl is a guest of Kenneth Bailey!”

“Yeah. I remembered the last person who had the VIP room was some boss from South Africa!”

Many people were whispering among themselves, but Elise paid no heed to it. Not to mention, she

wasn’t interested in the others’ conversation, so she followed the man.

Behind her was Faye who gritted her teeth and clenched her fists so hard that her fingernails dug into

her flesh.

Damn it! Why is Elise Sinclair always so lucky?

How did she manage to get involved with a man like Kenneth Bailey?!

Let me watch and see. With Alexander absent, she’s accepting other men’s advances so easily. A born

b*tch like her will get exposed sooner or later.

“Faye! Didn’t you say that your sister is from the countryside and that she doesn’t know anything? How is

she an acquaintance of Kenneth Bailey?”

Kenneth was Celina’s dream man. How on earth did that countryside woman manage to taint him?!

“How would I know?!” As Faye herself was mad, her tone was a little harsh. After saying that, she

realized that she had lost her composure, so she quickly adjusted her tone. “I’m sorry, Celina. I’m just too

mad because of Elise. For a man like Kenneth, only you will match up to him. However, my sister is used

to seducing men with her bewitching ways. I don’t know what to do with her either…”

Though she said that, she was thinking otherwise in her heart. If Kenneth is interested in a dumb sh*t like

you, he must be blind and deaf!

Hearing that, Celina became fueled with anger.

“Elise Sinclair, was it?! Just you wait!”

Meanwhile, Elise and the others quickly arrived at the VIP room.

“Miss Sinclair, if there’s anything you need, you can let the waiter outside know. They will accommodate

your needs to the best of their abilities. I have other things to tend to, so I’ll take my leave for now.”

As the man said that, he nodded to Danny and the others as a greeting. When his gaze swept past

Clement, it stayed for an extra second.

Coincidentally, Elise noticed the one-second pause. At once, she called out to him. “Hold on, you have

not told me what your name is. I can’t be calling out ‘hey’ to you all the time, can I?”

“My bad.” The man came back before saying courteously, “I’m Johnny Smith. You can just call me

Johnny, Miss Sinclair.”

“Johnny Smith?” Danny chuckled before he gave Clement a nudge. “He shares the same surname as

you. Is he your long-lost biological brother?”

At this moment, Clement seemed indifferent as he remained silent.

Meanwhile, Johnny offered a small smile before he explained. “You’ve misunderstood. My surname isn’t

really Smith. That is just my code name.”

“Oh, I see.” Nodding his head, Danny continued to humor Clement. “You’re both Smiths. If you go over to

Smith Co., you may even become cooler than him. Don’t you think so?”

“Not possible,” Clement said briefly.

Hearing that, Danny pursed his lips before saying, “You can’t even take a joke. You’re no fun.”

Letting out a low chuckle, Johnny made his way out of the room.

After they got seated, the gem auction began.

The place that Elise and the others were at was at the left corner of the second floor, and they could

clearly see Johnny hosting the event.

In no time, the best seat on the second floor was also occupied.

As Elise turned to look over, her eyes met those of Kenneth’s dark ones.

As it was her first time seeing Kenneth in person, she couldn’t understand why she felt that that pair of

eyes were very familiar.

On the other hand, Kenneth didn’t show any expression. He simply raised his chin slightly as a sign of

greeting.

Truth was, only he himself knew how guilty he was.

He was scared of facing Elise as he might reveal the gentleness that Alexander would show.

Since she accepted their invitation, she nodded in response as a token of appreciation.

Through an unintentional glance, Danny caught the interaction between the two. Obviously, he saw that

as a form of flirting.

Without saying a word, he walked between them to block Kenneth’s gaze before giving him a warning

look.

It was signifying that Elise already had a partner, so Kenneth should keep his eyes to himself before

Danny broke his leg.

As Kenneth’s eyes met Danny’s, he gave him a small smile before looking away without any change in

expression.

“Good move,” Danny mumbled.

At that moment, the first item for auction was already presented.

The stone weighed around 400 kilograms. One of the top corners on the left was worn out, showing hints

of a glimmering green inside. The color seemed genuine and shiny, attracting the eyes of everyone.

“I will not be wrong on this. This is definitely a glassy species jadeite!”

At once, people at the venue started a commotion.

However, there were also people opposing that idea. “It might look good on the outside, but

unimpressive on the inside. It may not be so great once you take a look inside.”

“Is that possible? It’s such a heavy stone. Even if only half of it is jadeite, it will be worth a lot!”

“Well… that will be the case if it’s half. If it’s just that corner and it’s just plain stone inside, you will be

losing a lot of money!”

Though everyone was discussing it, the price of such a stone would typically be much more expensive

than those that couldn’t be seen from the outside.

Nobody could say for sure if it was as perfect as it seemed on the outside. There was a big possibility

that there would be spacings inside, and the jadeite would only fill up less than five percent. In that case,

it would really be no different than a stone by the roadside.

After Elise took a glance, she retracted her gaze before taking a sip of the coffee that the server brought

over.

Though the stone had a possibility of having jadeite inside, it wasn’t anything impressive. However, the

coffee was not bad. It was thick yet tasty, and had a good aftertaste. It reminded her of the older days

when she used to sell coffee.

Nevertheless, those people on the ground floor thought that the stone was a chance to become rich, so

the auction price went up higher and higher. After a few offers, the deal was sealed at forty million.

“Wow. That wasn’t cheap,” Elise commented.

No wonder when Faye and Celina were talking about stone gambling, they kept saying that the rich

would dominate the auction. In this field, one must allocate at least one or two hundred million.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to cover the loss.

Later on, the few other stones that were auctioned next were just glanced through by Elise as she didn’t

bother to participate in any of them.

Noticing that, Faye looked up with a discriminating gaze before saying, “I knew that she was uneducated.

What difference would sitting in a VIP room make? It can’t even hide her lack of class!”

Toward the end, a piece of stone that had a special shine to it was put on auction.

The stone was covered with a thick layer of moss, but the stone itself showed a hint of red. When light

shined on the stone, the light would get refracted in various directions. It didn’t seem like it had jadeite in

it, but it looked like a mineral ore.

The stone was almost the same size as the first one. However, it looked like an ore, so it caused a wave

of sighs among the audience.

After that, the starting price was announced at 280,000 while the ground floor stayed completely silent.

Meanwhile, someone on the second floor spoke up, “500,000. I want that!”

The person who spoke was none other than Elise.
